Most Beautiful?



This is where I need to express some outrage. I know that for some reason or other, people find freaks of nature like Julia Roberts or Calista Flockhart attractive. I get that, not everyone is born with taste (either that or they burn it out of themselves with way too much crack), but it seems that every year People magazine needs to parade their collective lack of taste in front of the general public with their list of 50 most beautiful people. This year's covergirl? Not the lovely Ms. Beckinsale, or even the aforementioned Julia, but Drew Barrymore. That's right, Drew Barrymore.

I'm sorry, Drew Barrymore wouldn't be considered beautiful if she were on a bus populated trolls, deformed midgets, and rotting corpses. She would be moderately attractive among the freshly dead I guess, but that would be a judgment call. Put it this way, in a cast that includes Cameron Diaz, Drew is still considered the "ugly" Angel.

Maybe this is People's attempt to cash in on the whole Ugly Betty phenomenon, but really, I could have thrown a rock at the parade of freaks at my old school (themo and CB know what I'm talking about) and hit more attractive people. I really hope that Drew's publicist is getting the money that he or she is earning, because the devil is sure to get their soul for foisting this upon us.

Here Here. Drew Barrymore honestly has got to be at least 73% retarded. Not saying retards can't be beautiful, but I wouldn't even let Drew make me a Subway sandwich.

I think that Drew CAN be pretty at times, but I definitely don't think she deserved that title. I would go with one of the little Roloffs before I would vote for DB on that one. What ever happened to people like, oh, James Franco or David Beckham? Hell, how about Sacha Baron Cohen (sans Borat get-up)? Then again, they also chose Pete Wentz as one of the 50.

Who knows how they pick these folks. My old roommate and one time supposed life partner considered Drew to be his ultimate dish. That being said, this guy is also 50-60% gay.

She's kinda like Cher. Gay men love her because she's more than vaguely mannish. I'm not sure that I believe the rumor that when the guys who use Viagra and have painful four hour erections go to the hospital the first mode of treatment is looking at pictures of Drew.

Another thing that is baffling, is how does this list change? Is there a rash of disfiguring car accidents every year? Does everyone on this year's list automatically have to go see Meg Ryan's plastic surgeon?
