I think some writers must find Harvey attractive, they've written about her like she's a man-eating harpy, which is their way of saying 1) they take her too literally 2) they're uncomfortable when an attractive woman performs as she does.

Nothing wrong with finding anyone attractive, what bugs me is when someone assumes everyone shares their taste.

(sigh...)

JLO and Iggy Azalea turn up the heat in Booty video

watching that video made me physically ill

Lopez makes a public service announcement, prepping viewers for "maximum impact" before triggering a countdown that ends with an explosion and alternating opening shots of the stars' backsides, as Lopez chants the chorus "Big big booty, she got a big booty."

maura did you not prepare yourself for maximum impact

I keep waiting for the day when a group of attractive male popstars will all line up and display their packages, all carefully framed and gazed-up, in front of the camera for my delectation and delight.

Why does that day never come.

Maybe like this, but framed better

You know, to cut off his head and show more of his thighs.

But no, we just make fun of the (lack of) male attractiveness and make jokes about "uglitude".

(sorry)

The Strokes were renowned for lying about their ages even in 2001, so Julian is just a slobby mid-40s guy. (and at best the 3rd-hottest Stroke)

he's in his mid-40s?!
what?!

he's 36.

What did I do? Both SD and the press joked at the time about their appearance...not smart enough to tell what alarm bells I set off but whatever it was, I apologize!

Kessler's 40 next week, and still looks like this:

No excuse.

He looks like bloody indie Henry Winkler chewing fecking plums! I said without any trace of jealousy.

but what if lana del ray were a man? what then? (credit: clickhole)

casablancas has always looked schlubby to me! Part of the charm, imo.

he's 36.

still lying, i bet

I have hardly any idea what most new artists I listen to even look like these days. The visual component in the media package for music seems less important lately. Of course, I'm willing to bet I'm the exception to the rule.
