Gee, it sure is nice to know that not all you guys are shallow, and that it takes more than
long legs and big tits.
Sealemon:
You stole my answer (PAL)–on all counts.
Yeah, y’all have supplied most of the names i was gonna.
Jennifer Love Hewitt - Well, she was pretty, until the 183rd magazine cover she appeared on. Now she just blends in with the peeling paint of putrid, dying civilization. Sorry, I tend to get a little apocalyptic after I’ve been to the supermarket and seen the mag covers.
Sandra Bullock - She seems to attract mainly slutty guys. Maybe she looks as cheap as they are. I don’t know what it is. She’s not ugly as homemade soap but at least 20% of the women I work with, of all ages, are better-looking than her. Maybe 40%.
Burt Reynolds - C’mon, ladies, this guy reeks like the night security guard at the sausage-stuffing plant. Sorry, that was a bit offside.
Callista Flockhart - I can’t say anything about her that wouldn’t sound petulant, bitter, indignant, and possibly unhinged, so I won’t say anything at all.
Madonna - I like Madonna slightly less than Callista Flockheart. That’s more her personality and (lack of) acting abilities than her appearance, though.
Nothing I write about any person or group should be applied to a larger group.

Actresses I like?
Kate Jackson, Sigorney Weaver, Amanda Pays, Connie Sellica.
Kind of giving away my age here, aren’t I?

Back in the late 80’s women were swooning over Keifer Sutherland…I couldn’t see what the big deal was.

Did you know that Liv Tyler is going to play Arwen in the Lord of the Rings? I’m disappointed to hear that. Unlike you, I think she’s pretty enough for it, but I don’t think her acting is mature enough for Tolkien. And yes, I saw Heavy; I’m still not impressed.
Mr. Rilch is reading this over my shoulder and wants to say that he’d like to see Kate Winslet as Galadriel; she would be good at conveying that spiritual quality. Also, Peter Jackson is directing LOTR, and he directed her in Heavenly Creatures.
Speaking of Heavy, you may (or may not) remember my post in the Irrational Crushes on Celebrities thread, where I said that my crush is an actor named David Patrick Kelly, whom few people have ever heard of. He was the weirdo in the hospital coffee shop. God, I love that man!
In fact (I’m a little buzzed here, so bear with me) that brings me back to the original topic of this thread. Mr. Rilch and others who know of my fixation think DPK is merely odd-looking, but I think he has the most awesome bone structure. Bone structure, teeth and complection are the three essentials. Makeup and hairstyling can only go so far. Calista Flockhart is way too thin, but she does have great bones. Unfortunately, they’re almost all she has.

I’m with Stoidela on this one. So many celebrities that people cite here are not all my idea of the most beautiful thing, but I can see why they might appeal to others. I don’t think about it too much, really.
One person that does baffle me is Leonardo DiCaprio. He is not ugly, but he is odd-looking, and I would think that he would be limited to character parts, not leading-man parts. I do admire him for his choices in diverse and unsual rolls, however. But, no, he does next to nothing for me.
Some actors and actresses to me strike me as the epitome of attractiveness, yet they are not automatically included in the “hotties” list. I guess we all have our own opinions.
I’ve always thought Sela Ward was just lovely, same with Connie Sellica (sp?). Mel Gibson, Bill Campbell (Sela’s co-star in her newest series) Alec Baldwin…sigh. Nick Nolte and Robert Redford have not exactly aged well, but about 15-20 years ago, they were what I would consider attrative, definitely. (I prefer Nolte over Redford, though.)
Calista Flockhart does not strike me as half the beauty that Sela Ward is, same with Jamie Lee Curtis - her asset is her body more than her face. However, I can see that she would be considered attractive to some people.
Oh, I do have to say, one woman that I DO NOT understand being considered a beauty would be Kelly Preston. I think that is her name - she co-stars with Kevin Costner in “For the Love of the Game”. (Kevin Costner is not high on my list as hunks, but he is pleasant looking, and all.) I don’t know, Kelly must remind me of someone I don’t like, I guess. I find her nice-looking, but no striking beauty, in any way.
Hmm…so if I had to narrow it down, I guess I would list Kelly Preston and Leo DiCaprio as stars whose “hottie” status baffles me.
Well, I must be wierd, I love Kelly Preston, one of the hottest women in hollywood. That entire character in Jerry Maguire really gets me bothered.
Now to answer the question posed of me, I accept that many women I don’t find attractive could be such to others, but I really think that Tyra banks is ugly, mis-shaped, downs syndrome ugly. Nice body, fake tits, but the face is a car wreck. Calista Flockhart is a chihuahua, Taco Bell dog ugly, and one I forgot to rant about, not only is she a anorexic bag of chicken bones, but she has a neck and head like some Jin Henson character.
What do I like. Heidi Klum is one of the most perfect women I’ve ever seen. I like all he walking steroetypes like Jenny McCarthy and Carmen Electra (so I’m simple), and Sela Ward is an attractive older woman. Stephanie Seymour is smokin too.
Madonna.
Rilch? Who is DPK?
Btw, I had to do a web search to find several of these people, as I had no clue who they were or what they looked like (Tyra Banks, Calista Flockhart, etc)

Anna Nicole Smith.
Gotta go with Stoidela on Jamie Lee Curtis: those of you who have seen “48 hours” (and “True Lies”) will understand…
Also, the new generation of top-models definitely *isn’t[/] all that. The bag-of-bones plane-faced type (PLEASE! Not a trace of make-up to spoil that gorgeous natural look) just doesn’t do it for me.

Toss the “SportsNight” blond chick on the “too bony” pile. It hurts to look at her yet all the guys on the show are supposedly slobbering over her constantly.
Agree with Sandra Bullock (looks like a man in drag), Mel Gibson (old, beat-up suitcase), and I have to say although someone already mentioned Matt Damon as someone they liked, he grosses me out. His face is all doughy and misshapen or something. Ben Affleck is freakish looking too, IMO; sorta Frankenstein-ey.
I like everyone on the “Pizza Place” show, even the crazy neighbor chick. What are the odds of that?
Matt Dillon is a freakish monster-boy. He could play Frankenstein’s monster without having to use any makeup at all.

Besides Callista Flockhart and Jennifer Love Hewitt, I dare say that whoever decided Sarah Jessica Parker was attractive must of had their eyes torn out by rabid squirrels.
I’m not saying any of these three are ugly, nor that they are bad people, but in a nation where your celeberity worth is larged weighed by your looks, they don’t weigh in at more than a few ounces.
“I guess it is possible for one person to make a difference, although most of the time they probably shouldn’t.”
Minnie Driver scares me, I don’t know why.
And I can not figure out, for the life of me, what people see in Madonna. She scares me, too.
And I don’t understand Tom Selleck. His moustache is creepy.
Come to think of it, a lot of celebrities give me the willies.
Opal: David Patrick Kelly was in The Warriors: yes, he was the source of “Waaaaarriorrrrrss…come out to play-ay!”. He was also the assassin in Dreamscape, Jerry Horne in Twin Peaks, he got flung off a cliff by Ah-nuld in Commando, and he was one of the bad guys in a PC game called Ripper. Mr. Rilch’s friend worked on that game and says he is a total kookaloris. He’s also about 5’3", which is perfect for 5’1" little me! The only one of his films that I don’t like to watch is 48 Hours. He gets killed in almost every film he’s in, but that was the only one wherein his character didn’t deserve to die. Also, you could check out Last Man Standing, where the movie pretty much sucked, but he was photographed really well, and got to go way off in a couple of scenes. Whew! Think I’m obsessed?

Helena Christiansen. I’m sorry but she is butt ugly.
Cameron Diaz—yeeeccchhhh! Kevin Costner—zzzzzzzz… Sting—EEK! Fabio—aaaaaarrrrggggg!!!
John Lurie—yum!
Stars that are plain ugly contrary to popular belief:
-
Julia Roberts (especially after the lip inflation);
-
Demi Moore;
-
Tori Spelling (I think that’s her name, you know, the all-plastic chick from 90125 [and I really AM sorry about that Yes-pun
]);
Stars that are REALLY attractive: -
Cameron Diaz;
-
Salma Hayek (exotic danser Satanico Pandemonium in “From Dusk till Dawn” - drool…);
-
In a not-so-in-your-face kinda way, I seriously have the hots for Tori Amos and Heather Nova. They’re not super models maybe (although Heather could be), but MAN are they sexy !
