AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the question of who is considered the prettiest person, specifically among celebrities, both past and present. Participants express varied opinions, with some stating that attractiveness is subjective and often tied to personal connections, such as being in love. Many contributors assert that they do not find most celebrities attractive, citing perceived lack of intelligence or authenticity as detractors. Several names come up, including classic stars like Hedy Lamarr and modern actresses like Jessica Alba and Sandra Bullock, with some participants sharing personal anecdotes about encounters with celebrities. The conversation also touches on the idea that physical beauty can be overshadowed by personality traits, with references to the “ugliest pretty girl” concept. Overall, the thread highlights a mix of admiration for celebrity beauty while also critiquing the superficiality often associated with fame, emphasizing that true attractiveness often lies beyond mere physical appearance.

RIGHT ON! Kate Beckinsale is #1 by far!http://www.kbeckinsale.net/gallery/albums/publicappearances/2006/clickpremiere/normal_HQ030.jpg
Oh and if you think Kate is dumb, well then you are dumb. She went to Oxford.

Actually Flockhart has an eating disorder. She claims that food has no taste so she doesn't like to eat. I know a lot of people that look anorexic, but they say that they can't taste food, or that food feels strange in their mouth, just a number of reasons that they find eating "distasteful". Eating is something that they almost have to force themselves to do. It's certainly not normal though.

Well I never knew that. I still don't think she looks anorexic however, I think she's very attractive. Perhaps I'm just crazy. :-p

I just don't get this thing about Uma Thurman. If she were a horse, she never would have lived.

Funny, someone mentioing Worth 1000. I did a celeb pic of Uma with her kindred spirit Sid.

Kate Beckinsale is definitely near the top of the list. I find my tastes don't follow the Chatelaine cookie-cutter - they are boringly unremarkable in their beauty.

Actually Kate Beckinsale was thinking about quitting acting all together to become a writer under an anonymous name because she didn't want anyone to buy her books just because she was a movie star.

I've watched oprah and there was this french woman who wrote a book which dictated how a french woman eats. Well she followed the book and then videoed herself doing just that and she ate "lunch" which consisted of 2 slices of thin cheese which sandwiched a apple slice. Total lunch was about 1/2 inch tall :eek:.

I would say Calista Flockhart's physique is sort of like a grayhound...yes that must be it..

I've seen French women eat proper meals. The culture there is very different and the food is amazing yet very healthy. I don't think many will be following the diet plans from that book.

Do some people even realize that some models are actually at their healthy normal body weight?

I met a girl who I thought was anorexic or had some eating disorder. Went out for diner with her, and she ate the same size plate as I did. And we talked for like a good 45 minutes after diner, and then did whatever afterwards. And no, she did not go to the washroom. Perfectly healthy girl.

Again, that's a stereotype. Not necessarily a bad one since it probably is generally true that they have eating disorders.

The worst stereotype is how celebrities are dumb. How does one come to that conclusion? Celebrities don't even have anything in common besides being a celebrity. Some celebrities are actors and others are athletes and others are even other things. So they are complete different people in every right and yet somehow they share the common trait of being dumb? Think about it.

List off all the celebrities. Now list the ones that aren't dumb. Sure, not all celebrities are dumb, just the majority.

Some of the dumbest people I have ever met currently work as scientists. Sorry but dumping grams of old sodium hydride down the sink in order to dispose of it or dumping close to a half liter of phosphorous oxychloride waste into water is just flat out DUMB (and yes I have seen scientists doing this before). Scientists without a doubt are book smart, but when it comes to common sense, some scientists out there don't have all of their bells ringing.

I think they're all extremely attractive, but they have too much makeup on for my taste. "Average to scary" sounds like a...

I think celebrities appear dumber than any other group simply because they are so documented.

I doubt any of us here would come off as geniuses if we had a crew of weirdoes filming our every move and recording our every word... think of all the stupid things you've ever said in anger or without thinking in a moment of passion, think of all the stupid relationships you've been in... now imagine a camera filming all that and the good people at ET editing it all into a neat little package. yeesh; we'd all look like morons. — not to mention the number it would do on your sanity.

NAH, I'd have to say Britney Spears and her ex-husband Kevin would have to scrape the bottom of the intelligence barrel. If you forced me to, I could come up with many more brain dead "celebrities" than intelligent ones. Face it, intelligence is not required to become famous. You just need to be exploitable.

Intelligent celebrities are not the norm. If you disagree, prove it. :biggrin: Yeah, I know, you can't, the dolts outnumber the decent ones.

The majority of the public world is also dumb, so really nothing has changed. The stereotype hasn't really helped us distinguish anything so far.

Again, this is nothing surprising since the general public is dumb. Why must celebrities be better than the general public? They surely aren't worse!

Britney Spears might seem bad, but we all know that there are worse out there.

Personally, I believe that our information about celebrities is extremely filtered and biased and therefore must assume that we know absolutely nothing about them as people. We know only the sum of the two drivers: their publicist and the media. Any intimate piece of data that somehow escapes past those two is too small a sample to represent the person.

I wonder who the ugliest pretty girl is. I never can figure that stuff out. I just found out the other day that Ellen Muth (Dead Like Me) is "ugly". All this time I thought she was so sexy and cute.

http://www.edwardfrench.com/Scannedpix/Bald/ChemoPat.jpg
I agree completely. Look at that sexy round head and those puppy dog eyes topped with a perpetual frown. I even like the cynical attitude on 'Dead Like Me.' Oh, and did you know she is a Mensa member also?

Joey Lauren Adams

Check out that smile. I can't look at that and not smile myself. And this is just a 'Hey, how are you' smile. When she really smiles her eyes close because there isn't enough room on her face for all that happiness. She's got those prominent laugh lines around her eyes that are probably the sexiest wrinkles in the entire universe. When I imagine what it would be like to kiss her I am not even sure how to appraoch, but I have the feeling of someone who is staring at a particularly perplexing geometric puzzle.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find out that even scandals: Paris Hilton and Pamela Lee videos, Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson wackiness, are all carefully planned and unleashed on the public for their publicity value. Bad publicity is better than no publicity.

Gina Davis is a member of American Mensa, the High IQ Society,with an IQ of 140(woowoo). That is about the only one I know of. I would like to add that being a female in the society we grow up in, is not so wonderful for a girls self esteem. Especially if your a going through puberty and look nothing like what you see in mainstream media. With all the porn and just off the wall stuff going on now days it can really put a damper on a girls/womans image of herself. I just hope the girls and the women realize they are beautiful. Anyhow I, as a woman will post a pic of one of the females I think is beautiful. Ironically she is a Japanese model and was in the movie"The Last Samurai". She looks so much like my grandma did when she was young.

Can anybody explain why Julia Roberts was chosen to star in "Pretty Woman"? When she married Lyle Lovett, people were gabbing about why such a "pretty" woman would marry such a homely guy. I couldn't see it. Physically, they were a good match, though if Lovett's songs are any indication, she was badly out-classed in that match-up.

She was chosen because she's an excellent actress, and, she's VERY pretty:

http://web.syr.edu/~lemoise/originals/Images/JULIA%20ROBERTS.jpg

What's most appealing about her, though, is not always apparent in still photos. Her way of shifting from a neutral mood into a sudden, unexpected, vivacious laugh is remarkably sexy. She does this in most of her films at one point or another, and the impression it gives is of a woman who can be tickled very easily and thoroughly without much provocation (sexual connotations intended).

In my mind the Lovetts/Roberts thing wasn't about relativity of looks at all. It was a tickler/ticklee match up. I can see him sitting there all day sending her into laughter and giggle fits with his wry, dry, dead pan humor.

Apparently -
Roberts first catapulted to worldwide fame when she co-starred with Richard Gere in the Cinderella/Pygmalianesque story Pretty Woman in 1990. Roberts was able to win the role after the first two choices for the part, Molly Ringwald and Meg Ryan turned it down. The role also earned her a second Oscar nod, this time as Best Actress.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_Roberts#1990.E2.80.942000.2C_Breakout_role_and_eventual_success

Roberts is married to second hubby, Daniel Moder, so hopefully it'll work out.
