Coulter respondend to the allegations in typical detract from your detractors fashion (though she doesn't deny it).

[speedy]

Busty, I thought your boy was Jesse James? That kinda looked like him, but I wasn't sure. He's definitely a keeper, though. If I liked boys, I think I'd want Eric Bana.
Sorry for derail. Back to thread. To which I'm adding nothing.

[lucizoe]

Heh! A few months ago my brother insisted that he and a dude at a starbucks had eye sex for a good thirty seconds. He didn't realize until another customer approached him for an autograph that his objet du desir was Giovanni Ribisi. I found his Saving Private Ryan character really appealing.

What?? Plagiarism in an Ann Coulter book? *fansself* Why, nevah!

[ms_nola]

phoenix. mmmmmm
the man makes me want to weep.

[cloverbee]

I haven't read down the thread but has anyone else heard of Queen Coulter and accusations of plaigarism in her new book??

[mouse]

i always was a fan of liam neeson, if we're going to start naming names (and actors that age well).

cucumber, giovanni ribisi often came into the cafe i used to work at. i always thought he was cuuuuuute (tho the scientology thing, i just don't understand it. and beck, too! what???) but in person he's almost shorter than me! and i'm SHORT. he's not tough-looking at all like he is in a lot of his roles.

[cucumberfruit]

the pheonix is sexxxxy.

i've also always crushed on giovanni ribisi, until i found out about the scientology.

[sybarite]

Well, misspissed, if you're going to bring him into it... he makes everyone else look a little soulless by comparison. You just know he suffers for his art. Remember his tormented priest in Quills?

Plus, he and I could chain-smoke together.

[happathy]

he is cute, but in that picture, his hair's too long. he needs to take about 4 inches off the top.

get thee to a stylist.

[aquagirl2]

I love Justin Bartha. Does anyone else think he's cute?
Cuuuute

[misspissed]

busty, mmm. nice shots of mister ness. thank you, that made my day a lil better.

well, since we're at it.

here's my
ultimate hot man of all time.

chubby, surly, green-eyed sort of crazy guys who think toads are climbing out of their heads get me hot.
yummy.

[pollystyrene]

He did more than the rubber bands- here's the story.

There's a special place in hell for Ken Lay.

[lot49]

That's a good analysis, ilovemyff -- thanks for posting that. I'd agree -- I was trying to figure out why I enjoy Clooney's performances more than those of other actors I perceive as one-note (*cough* Keanu *cough*).

I think that actors who put their energy and money into causes are admirable and that the token outspoken actor stereotype is unfortunate. Considering how self absorbed and unengaged many high-earners in our country are, we should be encouraging philanthropy. That being said, it is a risk for an actor to put so much of their own personality out there, when they get paid the big bucks to be perceived as anyone but themselves. And they can loose some of their effectiveness as an actor. I know when I watch Clooney, I have this warm fuzzy feeling since I like his causes. But if he was an outspoken republican, I don't know if I could watch him.

eta: divalla, I could've sworn that I heard some story about Depp showing up on the Jump Street set with rubber bands on his tongue so he'd get fired.

[divalla]

Actually, on the Depp/21 Jump St. thing, I heard on some entertainment show that he purposely kept to his contract until they let him go a couple seasons later. To me, that shows a lot of character and integrity, honoring your committments. But on 21 Jump St., I was more of a Grieco fan.

Good on Ken Lay dying, bad that it couldn't happen in a jail cell.

[bustygirl]

My .02, (though it's certainly not needed)

Brad Pitt looks like a shaved monkey to me. As long as that shaved monkey can't act.

George Clooney is a good actor, though I'm not particularly ape over his looks. I can see why other people are, though.

Johnny Depp is a very good actor, chooses interesting projects, and stretches himself for them, which is refreshing in a world full of pretty faces with no talent. Benicio Del Toro similarly disappears into a role. Both men are good-looking, and slightly pretty. The only time I really found Johnny Depp attractive was in Cry-Baby, though.

Of course, my tastes aren't everybody's, since this is the most beautiful man I've ever seen.

[aquagirl2]

Ken Lay died! (Does this count as "celebrity" gossip?) No one knows how yet. Do you think he killed himself?

[snafooey]

I don't know about you, but I'm never ever wearing a bodysuit again.

[aquagirl2]

Just watch 90210 episodes on SoapNet to refresh your memory, sandy.

bklynhermit -
What exactly would our late 90's/early 00's clothes look like? I mean, we're talking after the iconic babydoll dress and plastic barrettes of the early 90's, right? What looks should I put away for posterity?

[ilovemyff]

Lot49, regarding Clooney being a one-note actor, I totally agree, but film critic Mick LaSalle doesn't think it's from lack of talent:

There are chameleon actors, like Gary Oldman or Ralph Richardson, and there are personality actors, like Humphrey Bogart and George Clooney. There's a tendency for people to discount personality-type actors without noting the tremendous range an actor can show while seemingly staying within a personality. Cary Grant, for example, was the ultimate personality actor, and yet if you think of his roles in "Suspicion" and "Bringing Up Baby," to name just two, he is very different in each, even though someone could, seeing either, say, "He's just playing Cary Grant." When an actor's individuality is that distinct, we sometimes don't notice the acting work.
