I think it's funny that alot of us have similar sentiments...

Paris Hilton - She's probably a nice girl but she has this annoying habit of just constantly
cocking her head in this posing kind of way!!!
Julia Roberts - It's my opinion that she's an overated actress. Also, I can't stand it when
celebrities whine about the papparazzi. Julia is one of these. In the meantime,her publicist
is negotiating for a cover of Vogue. It just doesn't make sense to me. The only cool thing
Julia Roberts ever did was marry Lyle Lovett and she blew that too!
Julia Stiles - Julia Roberts Jr.
Adam Sandler - overated
John Stosil 20/20 - annoying
Shannen Doherty - drunk and immature
Tara Reid - overated


Celebs you might think I'd find intolerable but I don't.

Jessica Simpson - Don't care for her singing but I think she's hilarious on her show.
She's just so absurd I crack up and I really can't knock anyone
who makes me laugh.
Britney Spears - She's probably a nice girl. She CAN dance, she does have some
talent and she IS very young. I actually feel kinda sorry for her...
I have a feeling that she is a victim of having a pushy stage mother
who thrust her into the whole entertainment machine.

Nicole Kidman is the Grace Kelly of today, my friend. You need a NicKid marathon to set you straight, I suggest watching these films in this exact order for maximum appreciation of the goddess that is NicKid:

1. Dogville
2. The Human Stain
3. The Others
4. To Die For
5. The Hours

There are not enough Oscars in the world for that woman.

She will never ever in any reality approach Grace Kelly. When she comes into the hotel lobby to go swimming in To Catch a Thief blows ALL of those away without hesitation She is talented tough, I readily admit that, esp. in To Die For.

No way, man. Kidman is stunningly beautiful, probably the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Nicole in the finale of Moulin Rouge blows Kelly in To Catch A Thief away.

I, too, think Halle Berry, while pretty, is a bland, boring, banal actress. She's a Leo, but strangely, there's no fire in her eyes. Bleah!
Oprah seems shallow to me, as well. But can I borrow some money, Ope?
I hope J LO never sings again. She may act, she may dance, but NO SINGING!
AMber
I thought Julia Roberts was really great in
Mary Reilly. It certainly wasn't her typical role. I remember thinking that Angelina Jolie was good in Girl, Interrupted, but it's been so long since I've seen it that she not have really been all that great. Anyway, I agree about J.Lo. Let her do more movies but please let her end the singing career!

She was good in To Die For. Also I liked her in Malice. I guess in the cold roles I think she's believable. She's ok, her eyes just don't nail it for me. I've been studying actresses as long as i can remember, and to me she doesn't really look like she's feeling the emotion - sorry! Gemini's ARE notoriously shallow, though....whatever - we never like the same thing anyway, so who cares?

uh, no. Kidman is barely this side of mouse-face, IMO. I like her hair, though.

DUUUUUUDE. Still ? She has had something done to her face that makes her look very severe, IMO. A knockout, but something has changed and not in a good way.

I think it is that she has lost too much weight and that makes her look angular. But, there is def. something going on. It could be age as well. I do, however, like her alot and think she is a good actress.

I don't think so. I think she looks amazing. I saw her on Letterman last month and she looked great; she has perfect skin, beautiful eyes, she's just gorgeous, IMO.

Who knows, but I think she looks fine.

Our precious minutes of agreement have passed, my dear.

I think she's is very good, but those kinds of comparisons sound always forced to me. Being a star in the forties and the fifties was a task with totally different rules and players.

Two of my favorites with her remain Portrait Of a Lady (Jane Campion pushed her to give an incredible, almost claustrophobic performance) and Eyes Wide Shut, where she dominates the movie and annihilates her ex-husband's acting with one scene.

How could I forget Eyes Wide Shut? She was amazing in that movie and she DID make Tom Cruise look awful, especially during the bedroom scene where they were smoking pot and the scene where she told him about her dream right after he finds the mask on his pillow. Portrait of A Lady is good, too, I'm a big Barbara Hershey fan, anyways.

However, I still think The Human Stain and Dogville are her crowning achievements. I'd be willing to bet big bucks that she'll get another Oscar nomination for Dogville and I can't stop praising that movie and her performance; both are perfection!!!!!!!!!

The celebrities I can't stand:
Madonna-- sorry, she's seen her day and it's passed her by. Either concentrate on music or get out, the sex thing is, to quote Stevie, tired.

J.Lo-- She can't sing she can't act....maybe she should have just stuck to dancing.

Brittany Spears-- Someone put this child out of her misery and fast!

Halle Berry-- The woman cannot act, and don't give me Monster's Ball because I can name 10 people who could have done a better job in that role.

Tom Cruise-- His toothy grin makes me want to punch his toothy teeth out. He's an arrogant, bloated-headed, Hollywood actor who probably could be good if not for his huge ego and bad film choices.

Lance Armstrong-- Ya know, I'm glad that he won 6 times and that he survived cancer and everything, but I have to tell you I'm sick of seeing his mug all over Austin, and everyone treating him like he's the freakin' messiah come to save us all on a ten speed bike. Sorry but it's getting a little ridiculous.

Brittany Murphy-- I ask you...why? Useless...get rid of her (toss)
