I noticed a trend that regular looking girl and women celebrities are being dubbed hotties. I also noticed a few "beautiful women threads" so i'm reversing it with a twist becuase I'm confused, maybe I'm not seeing something? I don't know but here it goes...



TARGET #1: Gwyneth Paltrow

http://images.viewimages.com/wm/OU004718.JPG

She is the essence of mediocracy, not a whole lot going on here. Never thought so and my beliefs were confirmed when I saw her on SNL.

TARGET #2: Kirsten Dunst

http://216.40.225.63/kirsten/kd009.jpg

Maybe she's a little better then Gwyneth but still overall lame and unexciting.

Now I'm not trying to act like an authority on looks, I just want to see if anyone else agrees or if I'm the only one. I'm sure more people will disagree and that's cool. I'm not trying to be negative and say they're ugly or anything like that, just not mega-hot. Also, I know people have feelings and I'm not trying to be mean but they're Hollywood celebrities who are totally void of any feelings and emotions and their sole purpose in life is for us to critique and judge them constantly:D

I wouldn't especially want to date with Gwyneth Paltrow,
but I would sure like to find my Guiwenneth...

(those who have read Mythago Wood will understand)

Cory -- they're both well-above-average looking young women. Are they outrageously good-looking? No, but then have actresses ever been? (Answer: no.) It's not easy to be a big time film star -- looks are only a part of the equation.

Anyway, I certainly wouldn't turn down a date with either one of them.

I think many people tend to see celebrities as being more attractive than they really are. Take Britney Spears for example. I have heard so many many times, that she is the hottest girl in the world...... And that puffy curly blonde hair kid on Nsync I think it is. Tons of girls think that his looks are godlike.

And I bet if you are an attractive person and if you became a celebrity, people would think you are more attractive than they would have before. Especially if you always have a good make over, nice clothes, professionally done hair style, etc... you know that kind of stuff. You may even have seen just how much more attractive a good make over and nice clothes can make a person on a TV show. Even just doing something different with there hair can make a big difference.

Sometimes social proof is more important than looks.

But you *must* have at least some good looks first.

Gwyneth Paltrow looks better than Dunst any day

Cory -- they're both well-above-average looking young women.
No, they're both very average women. That's the thing. If I saw them walking in a mall I wouldn't look twice at them. Any porn star would blow them away into oblivian.


No, but then have actresses ever been? (Answer: no.)

Are you crazy ?

Honestly I think Dunst is hotter then Paltrow. To be honest Dunst was't even really Target 2. I just can't remember who was. Then I remeber Kirsten from Spiderman and the fellas drool'in over her.

Oh yeah, #2 was really supposed to be Sarah Jessica Parker.
People, the lies must stop.



And that puffy curly blonde hair kid on Nsync I think it is.

OK, If you wanna be fair and go the male route, that kid from N Sync looks like Screech from 'Saved By The Bell'.

is that the girl from wild things?

she has great breasts in that movie:p

wild things was a great movie.....

as for sarah jessica parker.. i couldn't agree more... she has un 'unpleasent' face and a rather annoying voice...

That's Denise Richards!

And she has a great everything in that movie. Breasts, ass, face, body. Hottest girl, and what does she do for us? Give us the best lesbian sex scene an a non-porn movie.

Damn, people already forgot

Damn, people already forgot nahhh... just put more focus on Neve Campbell. lol :eek: ;) :p

For one thing, isn't it a little sad that you have nothing better to do than ogle? Couldn't you at least leer?

Second, I think you're confusing beauty with fuckability. Since when did T&A take precident over a pretty face and a charming personality?

Personally, I think the Pamela Andersons of the world with their pumped up breasts and lip injections aren't a far cry from the Tammy Fae Bakers, with their electric-shock hair and ridiculous, makeup-plastered faces. We could do with more Gweneth Paltrows, I think.

ohh.. pamela anderson... my goodness.. i saw a pic of her with no makeup on.. or just a really bad make up job is USmag and... wow.. she looked.. 40.. atleast. it was horrible..... and id always thought she'd been one of those lucky naturally pretty people.... (in the face).. god was i ever wrong!!... and i had just watched VIP that morning... i think i was temporarily traumatized for the rest of the week...

ugh. i think my point has been missed.

Second, I think you're confusing beauty with fuckability.
I certainly am not.
They just all seem like plain janes.

no. i understood your point..

but you also have to think... you usually wont find gweneth or the other plain jane prettie on the top 20 of hollywood list... which can be pretty depressing when its your career... and while the make up and the enhancements may seem unnatural.. its also what takes them to the top and makes them more appealing and.. unfortuately.. leaves the "gweneths" behind..

did that make any sense....??? guh.. i hope so.. its bed time... i keep mixing up my sentances in my head.... LOL

I think both of you make perfect sense. I agree it takes more then looks and a lot of hard work and talent to become a star (as Gwyneth and Dunst prove), but I also agree with Nightfall in the fact that they will get overlooked by a more glamorous star with, let's say, equal talent.
But at least I see I'm not the only one who thinks this way.
There are others who think like me ~winks at nightfall~ ;)

Yep, she's isn't hot anymore. Age is the #1 problem to beauty.

Check this babe out!

;) Compare her to Dunst or anyone on this thread...they get BLOWN AWAY!! :cool:

You mean air brushed away.

They both seem very plain to me. I always considered them to be average. To each is his own.

YOU know who I do like is Jessica Biel!!!!! :D

could you imagine if there was a make-up line called air-brushing that actually left its costomers with decent results aswell? there'd be some money there..

who is the pic of anyhow?

um, look again Deena.

Saith - I think you've got it about right.

As for these women being "average" looking -- either the women where you live are a lot better looking than where I live -- or more likely -- you are automatically screening out all the fat, ugly, or unshapely women that you pass everyday. You've got an subconscious filtering mechanism in place!

Why are people debating, what is essentially, opinion.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Sciforums is becoming a place to post the worst kind of inane crap. What's next? I think maybe I'll post a new thread that is in line with the new intelligence I've seen, since I got back. Look for it.

Why are people debating, what is essentially, opinion.
No one's debating anything. I wanted to see if anyone else agrees with me. I know beauty is in the eye of the blah blah so that's besides the point. This is my thread and I don't want to hear that crap.

Sciforums is becoming a place to post the worst kind of inane crap.
Damn stop crying. You sound like you're about to make a "I'm leaving sci-forums becuase of inane crap" post. Get a hold of yourself.

What's next? I think maybe I'll post a new thread that is in line with the new intelligence I've seen, since I got back.

OK this is where as the topic starter I got offended. First off....I don't understand who you think you are. This is the "Free Thoughts" section and I had a free thought, mainly because of other posts I saw. One thing I've noticed at SciForums is that some are too critical in forums that they shouldn't. The other one being Psuedoscience. People.......relax. There's plenty of super-scientifical stuff going on. Go there instaed of coming to a more casual forum and trying to belittle people. Nobody wants to hear that shit. If it's out of bounds let a moderator handle it. I don't want some holier then thou, stiff-neck, jerk posting about the quality of the topic. I mean god damn, do you think they're hot or mediocre?! Is that so hard? Get it together.

Look for it.
coool guuuuuy

um, look again Deena.

Look again? I'm looking at your fat ass!!

No really, she's either air brushed or totally fake. What's the deal?

im sure there is alot of natural beauty to the above pic of the girl who still remains nameless.. but i have to agree with deena.. thats very edited... look at the start of her eyebrow.. not very well blended.. looks more like smudge, actually. lol.

Her name is Blow-Up Molly and she has 23 different life-like orifices FOR YOUR PLEASURE!!!

Gwyneth Paltrow had a go at English males cos no-one asked her out. It may of helped if she was attractive

What about Rose McGowan? I cannot for the life of me find anything attractive about that woman?!!?!?!?

ive seen a couple of very pretty pics of her.. but in real life.. i've not noticed anything all to out of the ordinary.. except her lack of clothing...

Rose McGowan is cool with me, don't care for her much either way but if you want to put her on the list, then go right ahead kiddo!

Well she is not a dog, but she sure isnt Hollywood material. And Ive never seen anything remarkable about Gwenyth except her grace and class. But that goes with Jackie Kennedy also. But I think she was georgous, just by her actions and grace. Make sense? Probably not.

Take care

Agreed, not Hollywood material.

Gwenyth except her grace and class
she must have forgotten about that while auditioning for her role in the royal tenenbaums, which i vote worst movie of the year.

oh! i have one. well.. its not really a movie star.. but a celebrety.. Anna Kornikova... ????? not even good looking to begin with..

Anna Kornikova...

Isnt that the chick that everyone is making such a fuss over? Never seen her, but Ive heard she is gorgous.

Okay, what about the chick on the new XXX movie? Her name is Asia (?) something, she is so not cute! I just love talking about rich skinny broads!!!:D Oh, and Sara Michelle Gellar. God I hate her:D

anna kournikova (http://www.walhello.com/anna+kournikova.jpg)
Asia Agento (http://www.amiannoying.com/images/photo.aspx?image=3279.jpg)
as for sarah michelle gellar.. oh.. she's one of my top 5 fav.'s cant agree with ya there..... :)

One word: Chyna.

That babe is Adriana Lima! :D

Cory,

I really couldn't give a Rat's ass what you think or what offends you.
There are so many teen sights, you should be able to find find, where you can debate or if you prefer justify your own opinions. I was out of town for a mere month & come back to crap, I thought was above sciforums. Apparantly it isn't. Kids getting their feelings hurt, asking who do you think is a hottie. I remember that shit from freakin High School.
If you wanna dumb yourself down, with crap that really does not matter, I implore you. Don't waste sciforums space.

Ratbat,

What is your deal? A member post an opinion in the "Free Thoughts" section just to get a conversation going and you have a problem with it? Waste of space...what the hell are you talking about? The only things wasteful is your responses. You are the only one that seems to have a problem. You may need another month off :D :rolleyes:

One word: Chyna
you know.. we really need a "disgusted" smiley...

Quite acting like a frickin despot of sciforums.com

You don't own this board, so you shoulnd't be saying what can be or cannot be posted on sciforums.com

You're getting attached to cyberspace, it's just a forum. So what if teens discuss their views, the things we discuss - that's what makes us teens.

If you wanna dumb yourself down, with crap that really does not matter, I implore you. Don't waste sciforums space.

Negativity gets you nowhere. I agree that sciforums.com should be a more "essential" forum, but free thoughts is an exception to this rule.

Chyna the wrestler? Yikes!!!:eek:

I was out of town for a mere month & come back to crap, I thought was above sciforums.
you know.. you've only been registered for about 2 months.. and if you were gone a month.. that means. you've spent about 30 days here.. perhaps you got the wrong impressoin of sciforums. everyone here is allowed to post, and have an opinion. including you. but thankfully some of us have a little more respect, and a little more humor. The light hearted posts in free thoughts let us open up to each other, and get to know each other better... We don't all come here solely to debate politics, or make a decent interpretation of revlations in the religion section. Some of us come here for interaction (because we are bored to tears and trapped in our house 24hrs/day) or like most of us, who ended up here by mistake, and have grown quite fond of the other frequent users here. and perhaps if you want the intellect to change here.. you shoudl try adding some of your own... unless these WEREN'T your posts:
"My knob is just about big enough for me to wrap my hand around it!:eek:"
Listen for his distinctive courtship call, "mmmm...bootilicious...puff, puff, giiiiiiiiivvvve...." "
"Does it really matter if you can spell masturbate, or not, as long as you can..."
""This doesn't really fit me. Everyone says I'm an Asshole, and I have'nt eaten an ass, in a looong time. "
and to end with my favorite line from all of your posts....
"Some folks don't know how to take a joke. "
and i think those say enough.

Ratbat, that kind of behavior can prompt someone to really rip your ass apart, so watch it. I've seen it happen. I don't want to find you dead in the middle of a street somewhere.

Don't give a rat's ass what someone thinks? Then there is no point in your coming to sciforums.

Good one NightFall

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHA nice Nightfall. :cool:

she must have forgotten about that while auditioning for her role in the royal tenenbaums, which i vote worst movie of the year.

WHAT?!?!?!??!?!?!?

WHAT?!?!?!?...WHAT?!?!....

Sorry, that's all I'm capable of saying. That movie kicked.

I've heard of it once or twice. What is it about?

Yeah...I liked it too

Um...it's about...um...a family. A dysfunctional one. And stuff.

its about a screwed of family where the adopted daughter and the biological son fall in love.. but she's married to this other guy, so the son tryies to kill himslef... and... its one big incest mess. id tell you the end. but i didn't watch it. i shut it off and went back to blockbuster to rent something different.

It's only for people who can truly enjoy a movie for the script and acting alone. People who require action and such for a movie shouldn't watch it. Ask yourself this before watching a movie like Royal; Have you ever watched and completely enjoyed a movie like Casablanca or The Jackel?

Watching The Royal Tennanbaums will validate you as a human being.

heh.

CHYNA!!!! :eek:

We need a smiley throwing up

It's clear that Thor understands Chyna's universal appeal.
