Wow! She looks a lot like Demi Moore tonight on Conan. A lot like her. A slightly younger version. ---

Ever see that picture of her on the internet where she’s only wearing a thong and pressed up against a mirror. Mmmmmm… Sorry… just had an interlude ---

She was on Conan last night. Looking pretty good and fairly preggers, too. Check the replay today on Comedy Central @ 12 & 6:30 ET. ---

> [@](#): > > Saw the Hulk yesterday and Connelly is just emaciated! What happened to her? Did she have an illness or something? Too bad. She was so lovely. She’s seems to have aged well; she just needs some flesh on her bones. Connelly was in the first weeks of pregnancy during the filming of _The Hulk_. It’s possible she was suffering from morning sickness. ---

I think she looks fantastic, and I’d wager I can find quite a few others who agree with me. Yes, some people do think thin women can be attractive! Amazing. And also yes, heavier women can be attractive as well. It’s not an either/or thing. If it works it works, and on her I think thin works. She’s not even close to being emaciated. I agree she was hot before, though, just in a different way. ---

If it works it works, and on her I think thin works. She’s not even close to being emaciated.** While you are right in that there are guys out there who think skinny women are all that (and I will agree that there are some seriously hot skinny women out there), I think most guys like a little meat on their ladies. Case in point: is there anyone else out there who thinks that Jennifer Aniston was _way_ hotter in the first few seasons of Friends than she is now? I’d rock her world in a heartbeat, but she used to be so much more beautiful. YMMV. ---

A lot of actresses seem to 1.) lose weight and 2.) tan a lot as they 3.) get older. In many women, the combination of these three can lead to what looks like faster aging. I call it the dry-nut syndrome. It makes the actresses look like dried nuts, and about 10 years older than they actually are. A lot of people–not all, mind you–find this massively unattractive. But that only applies to some actresses. ---

I know a number of people who think that Jennifer had breast reduction. Of course, these are all people who have been wondering why she didn’t have one before now… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-happened-to-jennifer-connelly/184141.md?page=1)
