That’s where it started for me. He’s not all that attractive in The English Patient, and he’s okay in the Bridget Jones movies, but P&P . . . . he’s really perfect in that role. Case in point: [http://www.janeausten.co.uk/graphics/firth.jpg](http://www.janeausten.co.uk/graphics/firth.jpg) And here he is looking more modern: [http://www.topnews.in/files/Colin-Firth3.jpg](http://www.topnews.in/files/Colin-Firth3.jpg) ---

Also, Ray Liotta looks as if he is constantly thinking about buggery. ---

Jude Law. REALLY receding hairline, and basically a rat face. Yet for a while there he was on the hot hot hot list. 😕 Angelina Jolie. She is unremarkable to me except for lips that could blow up an inner tube (maybe that’s the attraction). My daughter doesn’t get Robert Pattinson, the Twilight vampire, she is 21 and just doesn’t get it. She says he has a bad case of “generic man-face” and resembles a foot. A foot with scary tall hair. ---

I think Robert Pattinson would look really handsome if he was about 25 years older, had shoulder-length hair, a thick mustache and a heavy beard with gray streaks, a scar on the right side of his mouth, a pair of dark sunglasses, and a big bull-style ring through his nose. ---

Oh, and Megan Fox. Pretty enough for a robotic dead-eyed drugged out skank, but she should never have been given a show biz career. She belongs on the cover of Maxim magazine, or maybe advertising condoms. ---

I was thinking he’d be handsome if you removed his head and replaced it with the head of a handsome man. ---

> [@Cazzle](#): > > Penelope Cruz seems to have some sort of explosive blackmail material that’s given her control over the entire world’s media. How else can you explain why every article about her refers to her beauty, and not one contains the words “rat-faced”? If they say she’s beautiful often enough, will that make it true? I completely agree. She looks passable with a ton of makeup, but most of the time she looks vaguely ferret-like. ---

Owen Wilson His voice is what really bugs me, but that nose just does not belong on the face of leading man. Brad Pitt and Christian Bale have simian qualities to their faces. Maybe it’s the small close set eyes. ---

Is Lady GaGa supposed to be hot? Seeing as her whole image is based on selling sex I would assume so and to which I must say bleccch. She does have a [great body](http://www.hitzonly.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/lady-gaga-brit-awards1.jpg) but her face is so to me as to actually piss me off. I don’t if it’s the contrast of her Eurotrashtic wig against her fat face and oversized nose, but something about her sets me right the hell off whenever is see her on TV. ---

I dunno if I’d call her ugly but she loses a ton of points for having a stupid name, making awful music, dressing like a 3 year old in a costume shop, and wearing ridiculous wigs. ---

I’ll argue that. There’s just something about Angelina that doesn’t appeal to me…it’s like, all the right parts are there, but the whole package just lacks something. She’s like a walking pillow. And sex with a pillow is unsatisfying. I’ll take Alexa Davalos over Angelina any day. ---
