So today I'm in gym, right? And we're about seven girls sitting in a cluster. So of course the topic of celebrities must be given rise. Point of the day: Lady GaGa and Miley Cyrus are not pretty. Justin Bieber and Eminem are not attractive. This 'point' was argued for far too long for my sub-conscious to take. So in honor of this, I am making a list, guys and girls, what boys are hot, what girls are not, what boys are overrated, what girls are so pretty I want to dye their hair green and glue them to a passing 747. :) Okay, also because I'm in a listing mood. Lists calm me. I read some pretty good lists tonight. Top 100 Bands. Led Zep on top of The Beatles. An interesting twist, one maybe I can support given time? We'll see. And 10o worst movies. Okay, Santa Clause Conquers the Martians...I've never seen it. But you know what, I'll take their word for it. Much as it sounds like....a delight. *Wrinkles nose* And Top Songs? Out of 50 counting down, Free Bird was like 30. Above Be My Baby. I mean, The Ronettes are classics, yes, and I love Dirty Dancing and that song reminds me of it. But Free Bird is a classic. And Stairway was runner-up to Imagine. Imagine is so over-rated. Unbelievably so. I mean, don't get me wrong, I still adore The Beatles. Alone, though, let's face it, they lost a hell of a lot of flair. And if any John Lennon related song should have been number one in place of Stairway, Hey Jude should have been bumped up. Anyway, I'm ranting. List time. Counting down of course. That way's more suspenseful. No one wants to read a list that starts with Number One. Then there's no reason to get to the bottom.
Let's start with...
Top 5 Over-Rated Guys :)
5) Channing Tatum: Is an underwear model, yes, yes. And very cute in his own right. But somehow he just isn't that exciting to me. Yes, he is more than vaguely attractive, which is why he's number 5, not number 1. But a crew cut? Eh. I don't know there...
4) Robert Pattinson: Luckily, the fanatics finally seem to be wearing thin. No, he's not repulsive. He's not a bad actor either, and I applaud his faking an American accent so very well in so many movies, because I would probably be a failure with an English one. I liked him as Cedric Diggory too, in HP, but speaking from the vantage point of Twilight-obsession...I mean get over it. He sparkles. Men do not sparkle. That makes them much less manly in my opinion. Sorry Edward.
3) The Jonas Brothers: Need I say more? Aside from their music (which alone could probably keep me going for a good hour or so) they are simply not attractive, not to mention that the youngest seems to have a look of constant confusion on his face. Like...hey look there's a guitar in my hand. What should I do with it? I don't know. I just do not find any of these boys very attractive.
2) Kanye West: Seems to be the subject of much dispute since like LAST YEAR'S Grammy's. Hey, if Taylor Swift can get over it, we can get over it too. Besides that fact, some people actually like him. I don't know if they're attracted or if they just like his music. Neither really makes sense to me. I mean the guy has no class, not that many do today. But he's like the poster-boy for how to lack it. Anyone seen his performance at the VMA's? A toast for the jerk-offs? I thought someone was going to come out and say April Fools! No one did.
1) Justin Bieber: Oh God. Why is this boy so popular? I mean he's cute, but cute like Aw look how adorable that little boy is! Not...hot. His voice is very, very high-pitched for his supposed 17 years...He does not come off as an experienced musician, more a kid who's enjoying the popularity. I cannot believe he is closer to the most YouTube views than Michael Jackson.
Okay, so how about...
Top 5 Over-Rated Women
5) Miley Cyrus: I'm not sure if adding her is neccessary, per-say. It seems the Hannah Montana phase has died down in my generation, luckily. Um...what can I say? I respect her to a certain extent. Her autobiography made it clear she really just wanted her big break and she got it. But, speaking from a girl's point of view, I don't think the blonde wig is very attractive. I don't think many boys do either. I can't blame her for being glad to dump the Disney title soon. Her spread in Vanity Fair was a big accident just waiting to happen.
4) Kim Kardashian: You didn't expect to see her on here did you? She's pretty, yes, not that I would really envy her her looks, since they're not the sort I go for when I get dressed in the morning if you know what I mean. She's got a lot going for her, I respect her. But the fact that she seems to be what automatically leaps to mind in a guy's mind when someone says 'sexy' is baffling to me.
3) Vanessa Ann Hudgens: I'm glad to say that I believe the HSM fanbase has officially broken down and moved on, probably to become Twilight fangirls. Hm...I still believe she deserves to be on this list. She's pretty, nice smile, nice natural, wavy brown hair. Really, really, really, really annoys me. I don't know why, all I know is that she does.
2) Rihanna: Pretty girl. Most of the girls I mentioned are. I mean, more it's just the message they send out, their music, in general. I'm trying to judge by their looks but, my being a girl, when I judge the girls I'm taking other things into consideration. Sorry, hah, can't help it. Not a big Rihanna fan. Something about her just bothers me. Besides, her looks, fashion choices and all, are not made up of anything I would wear. To much leggings and big shirts, which is a sweet look but can't last.
1) Lady GaGa: I don't think many guys my age really think she's 'hot'? But I do know for a fact her videos are the most watched videos on YouTube. And I applaud her. Her craziness is what brought her this fame. People soak it up like sponges these days, and it was definitely a good financial move. I'll admit it, even I listen to some of her songs. But why does she sweep at the VMA's? She's original, but not dynamic. I do adore her voice acoustically, and an excellent pianist. But I feel she should be number one because let's face it...some of her looks are just ridiculous. This coming from me of all people. I wish she'd tone it down a little, because sometimes she's got some flashes of genious, but mostly her outfits look like she was a martian that came down from outerspace. And it scares me.
Top 5 Hot Guys (So hard to choose!)
5) Drew Fuller: No one has heard of him, and I am trying to be very general in why I choose these guys, meaning they should be famous enough. But look him up. He's got nice long brown hair. Crazy blue eyes. Birth mark under his eye. That pretty much did it for me. I'm a sucker for guys with beauty marks. Dimples too.
4) Christofer Drew Ingle: *sucks in breath* Oh God. Saw him live, back when I didn't know who he was, remember Fazp. She went out, bought a poster of him. If i had money, I probably would have done the same. Sweet, sweet guy. Yeah, his voice is on the high side too, but he's no Bieber. And it's getting better. And his YouTube videos make me want to cry with happiness. He's so sweet and his laugh <3>
3) Taylor Lautner: I know, I know, I'm pathetic. I ranted about Twi-fans. I'm not one, I swear. I mean original idea, but choosing between the two, Harry Potter is a HUGE favorite. Twilight stands no chance against it. Still...gotta say, Harry Potter probably does not look the same shirtless as Taylor Lautner does. Isn't that really the sub-conscious reason why all us not-so-Twi obsessed people go to see the movie? In New Moon when Bella crashed the motorcycle and Jake took off his shirt and wrapped it around his arm, the whole movie theatre just SIGHED. Enough said.
2) Billy Zane: Okay, not so cute anymore. It's a shame. He shaved his head. I almost cried, I'll admit it. But back three, four, maybe even five years ago he was gorgeous hands down. Very unique look, big strong chin, hair that does that gorgeous flippy thing, lips you just want to...okay...nvm that. But seriously. His name is Billy Zane. C'mon, can he get any cooler?
1) Johnny Depp: Wow....do I really need to comment? The man is a mad hatter, a pirate, Willy Wonka, and about several million other odd characters. None of them were ever women's fantasies...not until he played them that is. Talented, beautiful accent, unique and very unlike other guys and...gorgeeeeoous. Watch Pirates of the Carribean. The storyline after the first movie? Not worth much. Johnny Depp saying 'Savvy?' with his eyes rimmed with mascar and a big giant pirate hat? Woah. Just...woah.
Honorable Mention: John Travolta and Patrick Swayze?
Why They're Not on the List: Patrick Swayze R.I.P. That's why. And John Travolta...let himself go. I mean Billy Zane isn't cute anymore but he's not like...unattractive. John Travolta...not so much.
As Far as Looks USED to go: John-As Danny Zuko, and in Saturday Night Fever too, even for the oldies Welcome Back, Kotter. He was super young there. Super young with black hair doing a flippy thing, a square jaw, big knock'em dead blue eyes, and killer abs. Patrick-Probably best remembered for Dirty Dancing, of course, and perhaps The Outsiders too, even if he was just a kid there. Watch him dance in Dirty Dancing and tell me that you don't just wanna float through the screen. Gotta lov'em.
Top 6 Prettiest Women (not a typo. Sorry! I need 6. I couldn't narrow it down)
6) Katy Perry: Gotta love Katy Perry. Okay, no you don't. But I do. Great music, even if Fazp insists her voice is a fake on those albums. Don't much mind. She writes and composes it, so even if she's got a bad voice, she's got a lovely sense of lyric. Who doesn't get Hot n' Cold stuck in their heads? Really like Fingerprints and One of the Boys too. Off topic though. She's got a very unqiue style, but unlike Lady GaGa, doesn't push it. She wears crazy, out there clothes, dyes her hair multi-colors, but at the end of the day she is recognizable as a human being. Never thought of her as pretty til' I saw the Thinking of You video. She's got gigantic blue eyes. Like huge. Very jealous of them. Lol and her hair helps, too, very pretty black and curly (when its not blue that is) hah.
5) Emma Watson: I love her in Harry Potter, of course. Who doesn't? And she's got a very sweet, sophisticated, intelligent look. Not sure if I'm really a fan of the recent pixie cut look. Love her big bushy hair, though. She was an adorable little kid. We all loved her in the first HP movie. And now we're onto the 7th and look at her! When did she grow up?
4) Rachel McAdams: I probably would have put Noah Calhoun for hottest guys if I knew who played him. Besides, he's probably not as cute anymore. Rachel McAdams is still a sweetheart though, and a real likeable actress. Loved her in The Notebook, and just as much in The Time Traveler's Wife. She always plays her roles wonderfully. And she's got the sweet pixie look with the big doe eyes and curly hair.
3) Hayley Williams: <3>
2) Taylor Swift: Sometimes I wonder if this girl is real. Honestly. Like I can't believe it. First, I love her songs. I mean, I would not go so far as to dub her the best singer I've ever heard, cause she's not even close. But she really does give off this great vibe performing. She's very relatable, for us girls anyway. I mean every word that comes out of this girl's mouth makes you groan and say "I know what you mean". Which is great...most of the time anyway. Good sense of humor too, and anyone who's seen her Monologue Song on Saturday Night Live can accede to it too. Then of course, lookswise. Unfairly, she's really, really pretty. First, ALL NATURAL blonde corkscrew curls, while every other girl is sitting there cursing out a curling iron cause it just burned off their extremities. Second, super tall and skinny. Like, does she work out? Or does she not have to cause she's so freaking tall. Third and finally, of course, her crazy eyes. Theyre like almost foreign looking...very odd. Very almond, like stretched out, but they really pop. First thing you see. I can try and try and can never make my eyes pop the way hers do.
1) Rose McGowan: I'm the only one who knows who she is <3>
Honorable Mention: Judy Garland, Olivia Newton-John, Alyssa Milano
Why They're Not on the List: Judy is dead, rest her soul and her crazy awesome singing voice. Olivia...I don't know. She's so old now and...not Sandy like. I just didn't feel the need. Alyssa...idk! She should be. Let's pretend shes number 7. It's so much easier to pick girls than guys because some guy-celebrities I like are guilty pleasures <3
As Far as Looks USED to Go: Judy Garland was super pretty, Im as jealous of her as Rose. Super flawless porcelain skin (which was easier to have then i suppose since it was the in thing and everyone wore hats and carried parasols but still) and long, bright red hair, almost like Hayley. Super amazing singing voice. Everyone knows who she is, they just don't know they do. Hello, Wizard of Oz? Dorothy? I liked her best as Esther though, in Meet Me in St. Louie. Olivia Newton-John as Sandy. At the end of that movie the first time you see it, everybody's jaw drops. I know mine did and I was like three. Her hair is huge, yeah, but for thirty four (no, shes not really 18 in that movie people) she was looking pretty awesome. There's Xanadu too, of course, but I think I count that movie as a fail, sorry Olivia. And Alyssa Milano? We literally watched her grow up in Who's the Boss, from 10 to her early 20's! She was an adorable little kid, pretty teenager, and then BAM. Like Emma Watson, we had to wonder, when the hell did that happen? She's in her mid-30's now and I still cross my fingers I look as good as her when I am :)
DONEEEEEE. Oh god this took me like a day. But I'm almost proud of it. It was done quick. Maybe if I think of more I'll edit in and out. Naw probly not. Night. This was tiring but a fun way to get myself to sleep.
