Tha nature of attraction.

[andy hughes]

Which film or TV stars who are famous for being desirable, either leave you totally unmoved, or worse still, infuriate you at the sight of them?

I'll start - Helen Mirren seems to me to be an average looking middle-aged woman, I see nothing of her 'legendary' sex appeal. Angelina Jolie stirs nothing at all, but Andi MacDowell makes me want to throw things at any screen she appears on!

OK - your turn ....

Why are some of these celebs "bigged-up" to be sex-symbols? I think the sometimes the essence what makes some people often gets removed by trying to "fit in" with the hollywood mainstream. I.e. lose weight, have surgery.

On the male front i think these are overrated too:

1. Orlando Bloom - a poor man's Leonardo Di Caprio

2. Leonardo Di Caprio - WTF?

3. Jude Law - As much charisma as syphilptic weasel.

Sexy leading men

1. Jack Nicholson

2. George Clooney

3. Sean Connery

Hey mycatis ! Thanks for reminding me of Britney. I can't stand the sight of her ! Seriously, I have to switch over whenever she's on the telly !

I have a big thing for Sandra Bullock though, I find her very sexy, especially the smile ! Gorgeous !

Agree with J-Lo - if she's "the sexiest woman on Earth", I'm moving to a different planet.

Even more hideous old boilers are Geri Halliwell (not sure if she's meant to be a sex symbol except in her own head) and Pamela *shudder* Anderson. Yuck.

[LazyGun]

mmmmm Angelina Jolie

mmmmm - Natalie Portman

mmmmm - Kylie.

Cannot abide the JLo person either.

I could never work out what all the fuss was about Gillian Anderson years ago, still can't.

Mr. D. Black, the last time I mentioned someone with the initials J.L. and 'syphlitic' in the same sentence, I had a whole heap of abuse. What's the secret?

[lankeela]

yes I totally agree with eamon holmes who really annoys me the way he speaks so slow and never shows any emotion always speaking in the same slow monotone voice - its like he needs new batteries!

Also never could stand Robert Redford - warty faced wrinkly.

as for Kylie I think she went to the Avril Rolf school of make up and clothing sense

I just totally don't get the appeal of Orlando Bloom or Brad Pitt. I can see they're attractive but they just do nothing for me. Now Brad's co star in Fight Club Edward Norton. Hubba hubba! Especially in American History X! I was simultaneously wincing and drooling. Oh and on the female side what's with all the fuss over Sienna Miller? For all the press coverage she receives I can never remember what she looks like.
