Shock horror ....

Is it an Emperor's new Clothes scenario - the fact that Scarlett Johansson and Angelina Jolie are not really attractivve at all? Your thoughts ...

[Lorcan]

I actually do think that Angelina is very pretty. However, Scarlett holds no attraction whatsoever for me. Admittedly I've never actually seen one of her films (except for brief 'ad breaks' but her publicity shots (which should surely see her at her best) seem dull and vapid to me.

[Lorcan]

Sorry. Missed a ) after breaks' and before but.

I have a big thing for Scarlett Johansson. But I know what you mean. She isn't that beautiful. But maybe that's the point - she's closer to being attainable.

And, at the risk of sounding coarse, she's got one hell of a rack on her.

[NJOK]

There's a good thread to be had in this though.

'Women (or men) that are said to be pin-ups but do absolutely nothing for you.'

Denise van Outen was always one for me.

I think we should see them all without their makeup, as with some of the super models, they can look awful when they are not made up professionally. The only one that I think looks better without makeup is Jordan!

Well I think Angelina Jolie is the more attractive of the two but I don't think I'm looking at it from quite the same perspective as you guys. I don't really see the Scarlett appeal that much at all... she looks the same as everyone else.

And besides, Jolie's 'rack' is way better ;0P

But as NJOK says, men (in my case) who do nothing for you.... Brad Pitt and Jude Law... what is that all about? They're turnips....

[NJOK]

I'd also add Julia Roberts, Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford, Teri Hatcher, Jennifer Aniston and above all others Kirsten Dunst.

Then again I adore Jessica Stevenson (Cheryl from the Royle Family) so what do I know?

From a womans piont of view, just by looking at the images on the web of Scarlett, her boobs are fake aren't they? Just like round blobs. She is wearing too much make up in all the photos to see what she really looks like, especially the lipstick. However she's prettier than me.

I used to think Angelina was georgous apart from the giant lips and the on drugs look, but not much of a fan after all the Mr & Mrs / Brad / Jennifer / baby stuff.

I also can't see the appeal of Denise Van Outen at all.

Wynona Ryder would be more my cup ot tea if I was male. More natural and sweet and petite.

Like Scarlett, don't like Angelina. Like Johnny Depp, don't like Tom Cruise. Attractiveness is purely a matter of personal taste; I doubt if we ourselves can explain why we do or don't like someone. But whenever I've been with Scarlett she has always expressed her adoration of Andy Hughes.

More men that do nothing for me.... Hugh Grant, that bloke that played Mr Dacry in the BBC version, and Robbie b100dy Williams. Especially the last one...

However, men that I am finding sexy at the moment are the lead singer of Kasabian (hope I can spell that better than I can say it), the lead singer of the Kaiser Chiefs and the ever popular Sean Beam/Bean (never get it right)... so who am I to speak really?!

[NJOK]

China, seeing as you've a thing for lead singers from bands starting with K, I'm pretty sure the fat choir boy out of Keane is single?

[China Doll]

Lol! Cheeky s0d!

I think you'll find (as I just have looking back at the list) that I have a thing for the rugged look... or possibly northerners...

The lead singer of Keane may be a northerner, (I've no idea) but as you say, 'choir boy'... nowt rugged about that ;0)

[makemesmile]

Angelina Jolie is a rubber-lipped strumpet who's no better than she ought to be. Scarlett is the better looking of the two, except in that lipstick ad. It looks absolutely plastered on - one kiss and you'd be skidding off into the sunset : )

Not that I'm jealous or anything.....

Our adoration of the Hollywood dream female that is always "Perfectly made up" means, to me at least, we worship a fellow human that has been airbrushed, disguised, painted and decorated as the model of what the mainstream consider the perfect specimen.
It's a fake, an idol, an idealisation. All cultures throughout history have done it.

Nothing wrong with that.
I liked Johansson in Lost in Translation, but that's because she looked natural. Since then I have only seen the blonde bombshell persona. Leaves me cold really.
I like a girl, as I've said before, who doesn't mind getting covered in mud. (Michaela Strachan).
