Unlike most celebs, I think she comes across as genuinely nice person. Plus, she's gorgeous.

And the gray hair in his new flick couldn't look any faker.

I agree 100%. He's not actually curing cancer, now is he? The worship for this guy is ridiculous. He rides a bike, big f*cking deal. I can burp the alphabet, but I'm not held up as a god.

I KNOW!!! Doesn't it just make you want to vomit??!!? And can anyone say "Training Day?" 'cause I think his new movie has been made before (and probably better) with Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke.

Who says I haven't vomited already? The fact that he kicked Penelope Cruz out of bed made me vomit.

And I can't stand Denzel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My thoughts exactly. She can act up a storm, she just chooses ****ty projects. I doubt her career will ever recover from the debacle that is Catwoman.

Britney Spears - You can take the girl out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park outta the girl....

Celine Dion - Ugh!

I adore Nicole Kidman - I think she's one of the finest actresses of our day! And the way she handled herself during her divorce - pure class!

Lance Armstrong- seems like he's not very bright - but I do love him.

I love Sandra Bernhard too - but her singing gets on my nerves. She sings off-key more than "on."

Hmmm, who else can I not stand? Oprah - only because I don't like how she brags about how she can buy 1000 thread count sheets and the first thing she splurged on when she got money was nice towels, etc., etc. Someone even wrote to her about how they didn't like that either - Oprah read their letter on the air - during one of her fan mail shows- the fact that she tries to relate to her audience on a level NONE of them will ever be able to afford!

Penelope Cruz makes me wanna vomit. Home wrecking beeyatch! LOL And her nose is too close to her upper lip - that bugs me...

J-Lo - ITA- can NOT sing or act- and I hate that beige lip gloss look. Bleech!

That's one of the reasons I like it so.

Reminds me of Mark Ruffalo (but I think he's great).

Amen to the Penelope rant. Another (supposedly) beautiful face that can't act her way out of a paper bag.

And yes, blech! to J-Lo's disgusting beige lip gloss! I couldn't agree more!

Did you see the original Spanish version of Vanilla Sky?! She's great, IMO.

Penelope is terribly good in her native language. In English films, she's stiff as a board. Just horrendous.

Her accent really hinders her in American films.

Double blasphemy! Her acting seems a little more forced when she's speaking English, naturally. There's the issue of trying to remember words that don't come naturally.

In Spanish movies, she is killer. You must see "Don't Tempt Me" and your preconceptions will be erased.

Okay, I'll give you that one. I guess it's like Antonio Banderas...he's good in Spanish language films but is ridiculous in American ones.

I loved the acting in The Human Stain (also because Anthony Hopkins is my absolute favorite ), but I think the movie needed a director with a little more courage.

Dogville is wonderful, Lars Von Trier has outdone himself and Nicole Kidman has been able to tranform her role in an icon. And Young Americans at the end was a great touch . She would deserve another Oscar for it, but I'm not sure the Academy can digest such an uncompromising film.

About Penelope Cruz, I'm not a great fan of hers, but she's recently given a beautiful performance in an Italian movie called Non ti muovere, that here has won every possible award. She could have with it some Oscar chances too, IMO.
