Isn't that her right teat?

― Tiki Theater Xymposium (Bent Over at the Arclight), Thursday, 4 January 2007 17:27 (nineteen years ago)

YES, it is an egregious error in my opinion. They might look completely different from one another!

― Allyzay Eisenschefter Pop You To The Extreme (allyzay), Thursday, 4 January 2007 17:28 (nineteen years ago)

does anyone else kind of giggle a wtf whenever they see aniston hug the cancer girl (or some other charity, I can never focus) on that commercial. maybe i am just evil.

it's the way she says "it was a brain tumor" that gets me

― kyle (akmonday), Thursday, 4 January 2007 17:32 (nineteen years ago)

she's never claimed or tried to be a Hollywood nice girl who makes good

B-b-but she is the very UN ambassador of goodness! ("Will" category.)

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 4 January 2007 17:34 (nineteen years ago)

I mean, the painting scans sensibly to me not because she's the "Madonna of Consumption," but because she seems to have successfully cultivated (or just accrued) this image as an incredibly elegant grand-spirited woman who spends her time alternately saving/adopting the children of the third world and being some kind of classy U.N. emissary like a cross between Princess Diana and the sexy archaeologist from an Indiana Jones movie, all of which is kinda weird when you think back to when she scanned as a Billy-Bob-dating weirdo with a vial of blood around her neck and a creepy relationship with her brother.

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 4 January 2007 17:39 (nineteen years ago)

people can change, dude.

― VALLEY OF BLIZZARDZ (Mr.Que), Thursday, 4 January 2007 17:42 (nineteen years ago)

No, she is ambassador of goodness! But, and I freely admit that this is just my impression and not a terribly critical one, she is often wearing some nothing dark Tshirt that won't show dirt and combat pants or something and riding on top of buses with the chickens. No jewelry, no entourage (except now Bard & kids?)...I do not get the 100-watt gleamy smile impression as with other slebs.

Brad Pitt, he seems like he probably smells terrible.

Brad Pitt, he seems like he probably smells terrible.

oh my god, yes! this is one of my mental categories for celebrities, those who look like they smell bad, and Brad Pitt is at the very top of the list.

^^^ what happened to you, little girl!

― Allyzay Eisenschefter Pop You To The Extreme (allyzay), Thursday, 4 January 2007 17:54 (nineteen years ago)

ah I don't think that shows up. Oh well.

― Allyzay Eisenschefter Pop You To The Extreme (allyzay), Thursday, 4 January 2007 17:54 (nineteen years ago)

Ha yeah people can change, but I don't think people sit around thinking "my, look what an elegant woman Angelina has transformed into" or reading interviews with her where she's all "I woke up hung over at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs with a vial of blood around my neck and that's the moment I decided to change my life and save children" -- she just slipped without much fanfare across the line, and all previous vague impressions of her as something else were totally forgotten. Which is awesome and unusual for anyone with any kind of public profile! Pitt helped a ton with this process, though: in terms of tabloid narrative (and acting career) that automatically elevated her into the A-list royalty area. (I mean, same for Katie Holmes, obviously, who if not for the Cruise thing just might be competing for horror-movie roles with Sarah Michelle Gellar.)

Definitely true that there doesn't seem to be anything phony or publicity-houndish about her UN work. But I do think it's maybe a little over the top how she's presented as not only an old-school elegant filmstar ("a modern Hepburn") plus some kind of Princess Di / Christiane Amanpour / Mother Theresa figure. Just a little. Also I have this gut feeling that she should adopt fewer babies.

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:08 (nineteen years ago)

haha what?

― TOMB07 (TOMBOT), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:11 (nineteen years ago)

hee, I don't remember if this was actually based on anything she's said, but some friends were joking about how she's basically trying to "fix" the third world by raising uber-individuals that can then go back to their countries of origin, invigorated by America, and put things right. which would be kind of a drag for the kids, like, once they hit 18, the good life is over.

but that is all very unfair and she seems like a nice lady and is certainly to be commended for tolerating Brad Pitt's likely odor.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:12 (nineteen years ago)

Which is awesome and unusual for anyone with any kind of public profile!

I could not agree more. I think it's rad when people make big changes in their lives. And really, it's none of our business that she's gone from Blood Sister to Sister of Mercy. We don't have to read all the tabloid crap about Brad & co (OMG ANGELINA STOLE HIOM FROM JENNY ANISTON) but we do. Make fun of the president and co. if you're gonna make fun of someone.

Also: I think Kate Holmes hollywood career is kind of dead.

― VALLEY OF BLIZZARDZ (Mr.Que), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:14 (nineteen years ago)

is she presented as an old-school elegant film star? I thought she was presented as hot hot hot. I'd think she'd be more Ava Gardner than Katharine Hepburn.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:14 (nineteen years ago)

I swear nabisco sometimes you come on threads like this and nothing you say makes a lick of sense. it's like gabbneb level of overinsulated misapprehension of the world based on what you probably think is some kind of holistic cut-up information gathering method but you forgot to check the fizacts

― TOMB07 (TOMBOT), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:15 (nineteen years ago)

Dude, Katie Holmes has been in quite a few respectable films, the Cruiser is keeping her from taking roles FFS. This is like gabbneb-on-the-dreamgirls-thread crazy, Nabisco. (LOL XPOST WOW)

I do agree that Angelina is going overboard on adoptions, she is like the crazy cat lady, but for infants.

― Allyzay Eisenschefter Pop You To The Extreme (allyzay), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:16 (nineteen years ago)

oh my god, yes! this is one of my mental categories for celebrities, those who look like they smell bad, and Brad Pitt is at the very top of the list.

My wife, an amateur Viggo Mortensen-watcher, says he is reputed to be Emperor Stanktacular the First.

― Joe Isuzu's Petals (Rock Hardy), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:17 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, I buy that, I guess. I imagine Mortensen to stink on principle, though, whereas Brad Pitt just seems to be lax about grooming habits.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:18 (nineteen years ago)

And no, I don't think Angelina is really presented as "old school Hollywood"! The only Audrey Hepburn comparison I've ever heard is because of...wait for it...Hepburn's charitable work as a goodwill ambassador. No one is comparing the two as otherwise similar figures.

― Allyzay Eisenschefter Pop You To The Extreme (allyzay), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:18 (nineteen years ago)

LOL @ stinking on principal!!

― Allyzay Eisenschefter Pop You To The Extreme (allyzay), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:19 (nineteen years ago)

he doesn't need your hegemonic deodorant! (I really like Viggo Mortensen.)

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:20 (nineteen years ago)

(I mean, same for Katie Holmes, obviously, who if not for the Cruise thing just might be competing for horror-movie roles with Sarah Michelle Gellar.)

KH's career and profile has actually gone down the drain since she hooked up with TC. She was doing some interesting work before--she's not doing anything now.

haha x-post

Katie Holmes, never forget

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:20 (nineteen years ago)

Her career will continue to be dead as long as she stays with Mr. Cruise, who I think people in Hollywood probably percieve/see as freakier than Mel Gibson?

― VALLEY OF BLIZZARDZ (Mr.Que), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:20 (nineteen years ago)

Doris Day also always looks like she has B.O. And I think that I can smell Gwen Stefani from here.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:21 (nineteen years ago)

(a) Yeah, I feel like I've read at least two or three people specifically making the Hepburn comparison. I think she's really managed to move out of the "hot hot hot" area and create a sense of gravitas / elegance around herself.

(b) Hahaha you guys are making the mistake of confusing WORK with SUCCESS, ya bastards! Yes, Holmes's Hollywood career is definitely off, but I'm saying that in terms of public perception of importance, Holmes is now a bigger star than she ever was from acting, or probably ever would have gotten from acting. Plus it's pretty first-rate stardom, where you get to be part of the upscale fairy-tale storybook couple, rather than in the SHOCK! SCANDAL! Lohan-y pages of those tabloids. If Holmes had stuck around acting rather than marrying cruise, her public image would be nowhere near as massive or upscale or A-list as it is now!

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:22 (nineteen years ago)

ew, Gwen Stefani. I think the fact that she looks like she has the last three days' layers of makeup caked on top of each other helps with that impression.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:22 (nineteen years ago)

Pitt helped a ton with this process, though: in terms of tabloid narrative (and acting career) that automatically elevated her into the A-list royalty area.

This is still blowing my mind. She was an Oscar nominated actress prior to meeting Pitt. How do you think she met Pitt but by getting paid a serious amount of bank to star with him in a Hollywood blockbuster? Tomb Raider, for heaven's sake! If anything, she is helping him: her charitable works are apparently making it real easy for America to forget that he's a cheatin', lyin' sumbitch who dumped that poor little Friends girl and probably smells like poo and stale cigarettes.

xpost True, it is not only men who smell. Shakira looks like she truly needs to be scrubbed, though Dan Perry went on record last time I said that as saying you can stink to high heavens if your ass is banging.

― Allyzay Eisenschefter Pop You To The Extreme (allyzay), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:22 (nineteen years ago)

Nabs, what world do you live in where being really, really famous for being insane and locked away by a madman is better for an actual actress than, like, getting movie roles? She cannot get hired. She was fired from the Batman franchise!

― Allyzay Eisenschefter Pop You To The Extreme (allyzay), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:23 (nineteen years ago)

not if your ass is stanky though. pee-yoo.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:24 (nineteen years ago)

is it wrong that I can't deal with the Jolie/Hepburn comparison, because in my head I'm all, "but Angelina Jolie has tits!"

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:24 (nineteen years ago)

Actually I'm going to go on record that these statements about Katie Holmes and Angelina Jolie are possibly the most sexist, horrible things I've seen come out of your fingers, or a whole lot of ILXors' fingers.

― Allyzay Eisenschefter Pop You To The Extreme (allyzay), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:24 (nineteen years ago)

lol that's 'banging' with a hard 'g' not 'bangin''

― If you fuck with Jimmy Mod, you call down the thunder (The Famous Jimmy Mod), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:25 (nineteen years ago)

Calling people bastards is an awesome awesome way* to get them to come around to your arguments. Also, don't most people think Cruise and Holmes are really creepy and therefore not relly A-list anymore?

*just kidding!

― VALLEY OF BLIZZARDZ (Mr.Que), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:25 (nineteen years ago)

ally otm - she totally elevated pitt

we need a thread about celebrities who smell

― rrrobyn, breeze blown meadow of cheeriness (rrrobyn), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:26 (nineteen years ago)

or who stank

That picture is the greatest thing ever in all of its bloddy-minded awfulness.

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:27 (nineteen years ago)

goldie hawn is famous for being stanky.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:27 (nineteen years ago)

Tara Reid be stank.

― If you fuck with Jimmy Mod, you call down the thunder (The Famous Jimmy Mod), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:27 (nineteen years ago)

Gary Oldman - even through the silver screen, you could always smell him.

― Do Not Feed The Crush (kate), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:27 (nineteen years ago)

Ethan Hawke is another one who looks stanky--Uma Thurman must have high tolerance or a BO problem herself.

― Allyzay Eisenschefter Pop You To The Extreme (allyzay), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:28 (nineteen years ago)

lol they broke up?

― If you fuck with Jimmy Mod, you call down the thunder (The Famous Jimmy Mod), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:29 (nineteen years ago)

Nabs, what world do you live in where being really, really famous for being insane and locked away by a madman is better for an actual actress than, like, getting movie roles?

The world where Katie Holmes's face sells eight different magazines at the newsstand, something it was totally not accomplishing via her acting! I mean, two things to keep in mind here: (a) no matter how insane they are, there are still plenty of people in this country who are totally fascinated by them as the ultimate A-list couple, plus (b) you're talking about success as an actress, and I'm talking about public profile as a celebrity. The sole point here is that Katie Holmes is currently way more important now, public-consciousness-wise, than she was before she hooked up with Cruise.

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:29 (nineteen years ago)

Ethan Hawke might edge out Brad Pitt, actually. he needs a 24 hour shower.

― horseshoe (horseshoe), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:29 (nineteen years ago)

(Also Pitt and Jolie gravitated towards each other because they were in the same sphere of celebrity, not because one was more famous than the other or one helped rehabilitate the other or anything like that; even when Jolie was "CRAZEE", she was the type of crazy that people thought was awesome as opposed to, say, Anna Nicole Smith's brand of pathetic-crazy.)

(xpost: Dude, remember when she was on "Dawson's Creek" and she was basically named the next "It Girl", kind of to the point where no one even knew Michelle Williams was also on that show?)

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Thursday, 4 January 2007 18:30 (nineteen years ago)

I don't think Uma Thurman is stanky...also after they broke up, she looked amazing and radiant and he looked even more weaselly than he used to.

charlie sheen smells like cigarettes and sperm

ed burns would be the worst person to go to a bar with. he would talk and talk and talk and whenever it was his turn to buy a round he would disappear to the bathroom or for an important phone call on his blackberry.

otm. ed burns smells like unearned self-regard.

― horseshoe, Tuesday, 5 August 2008 20:04 (seventeen years ago)

dude was a homicide detective and a public schoolteacher, he smells like sticky pleather and pencil shavings

― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 5 August 2008 20:17 (seventeen years ago)

that ed burns is fine with me and should probably get a new name so as not be confused with the douchey ed burns.

― horseshoe, Tuesday, 5 August 2008 20:18 (seventeen years ago)

oh haha whoops.

― El Tomboto, Tuesday, 5 August 2008 20:26 (seventeen years ago)

no it's refreshing that perhaps ed burns of the wire's fame has eclipsed gross ed burns's.
