Famous people you're supposed to find attractive, but don't

Rhea Perlman

So does Danny Devito make the "famous people you're not supposed to find attractive, but do" list?

[erechoveraker]

The Limoncello helps for sure.

Sarah Palin (possibly the biggest "I don't get it" moment I've had; every brunette that wears glasses gets a Tina Fey comparison now?)

Look, I was one of the people who made this comparison in another thread, and I stand by it. THEY LOOK SIMILAR.  I don't think Sarah Palin looks like my wife, who is also brunette and wears glasses. I don't think Sarah Palin looks like Lisa Loeb. But gosh darnit, she and Tina Fey look similar. Similar facial structure, similiar nose (especially the nostril length), similar neck diameter-to-length ratio.  I am not saying they are identical twins, but there are not without their similarities.

I refuse to guilty about drawing this analogy anymore, by gum.

Sarah Palin
Sean Connery (yes, in his younger days, but I don't get all the "He's still sexy!" business).
Dave Navarro
Who's that CSI lady with the big lips and ugly hair? Her.
Denise Richards.
Sasha Grey
Ann Coulter

[iAmBaronVonTito]

my list has pretty much been covered.  including (all) porno cast members.

also: jessica alba, gisele bundchen, orlando bloom, ben affleck, gwen stefani, tyra banks, selma hayek, mark wahlberg, zac efron, jessica simpson, dane cook, jake gyllenhal, michael phelps, and generally anybody with i'll-take-my-clothes-off-for-the-camera muscles.

I used to think Angelina Jolie was the hottest person I'd ever seen, but now she don't do it for me.  I think it's cause she's just around all the time.  Ice cream for every meal and all that...  She's also kinda weathered at this point.  As is...

Lindsay Lohan. Jailbait to not-quite MILF in 2 years.

That Jiminey-Cricket-looking chick on the bed of roses in American Beauty.  You could rent out ad space between that girl's eyebrows and her hairline.

for that matter...

Olsen Twins. not-quite Jailbait to GIWNLFs in 2 years.  (GIWNLF definition available on request, but you can probably figure it out).

That is actually her, Sarah.  I did a Google SafeSearch, comfortable in the knowledge that it would spit up a plastic surgery disaster on page 1.

Sean Connery (yes, in his younger days, but I don't get all the "He's still sexy!" business).

Maybe you want to take back that comment (although I guess this is more of his middle-aged years)?

[Julie]

Tom Selleck
John Travolta
Tom Cruise

They all turn my stomach.

I dunno, Julie, Travolta's pretty hot:



To be fair, though, he's what, like 68?

No, I'm thinking of John Travolta at his peak. Cary Grant and Henry Fonda are still handsome in old movies. John Travolta gives me the heebeegeebees. How do you spell the word I meant to spell?

[iAmBaronVonTito]

don't forget Gregory Peck, Julie.

[powiva]

Nicole Richie
Lonnie Anderson 

[Sarah]

That is actually her, Sarah.  I did a Google SafeSearch, comfortable in the knowledge that it would spit up a plastic surgery disaster on page 1.

That is really sad.  She must have been around twenty-four when I became aware of her existence.  I thought then she was a blowsy, pretty girl, if a little bland.  I guess she decided she was losing her youthful looks and needed to lose a dangerous amount of weight and tweak her features to stay in the biz.  The effects are gruesome and depressing.

Sean Connery (yes, in his younger days, but I don't get all the "He's still sexy!" business).

Maybe you want to take back that comment (although I guess this is more of his middle-aged years)?

Yeah, I mostly referring to the pre-Zardoz era.

I love a reading man.



Sorry if I've grossed anyone out.

That picture of Jenna Jameson is one of those pics everyone uses to show how terrible someone looks now when in reality it's just a terrible picture. She still totally screwed up her face but I've seen other recent photos where it doesn't look anywhere near as awful as that.

[Sarah]

Yeah, but I was looking for a board-friendly picture of her from ten years ago and saw a bunch of new ones in which she still looks pretty dreadful.  A lot of the horror would dissipate if she just gained back a bit of weight, I think.
