100 Most Beautiful Women in the World
0700 days
Michael Allen asked:
I’ve always laughed at those kinds of lists. I’ve just never thought of any of them as very realistic. I mean I have to admit that Angelina Jolie is beautiful. That’s not what I’m saying. But, what if there was some gorgeous angel in a village somewhere that the researchers for People have never visited?
I just think they make it too easy on themselves. They don’t scour the earth looking for people who actually might fit the profile. No! They look as far as the headlines for the celebrities in high profile to complete their little lists. How accurate could it be if we haven’t lined up every beautiful woman in the world and examined them thoroughly?
Yes, we have beauty pageants that cover every country in the world. Women who wish to participate. But, not every beautiful woman participates. There’s a farmer’s daughter somewhere in Japan or a pub owner’s sister in Ireland who don’t give one iota for being in a beauty pageant. So, really those beauty pageants are only by default. We can only choose from the ladies who are willing to compete.
Sure, we come very close with our Hooter girls. And Hefner has the best idea of anyone for what a beautiful woman actually looks like. He’s seen them. I just keep thinking that down by the river gathering water for her North African village is one lady that will blow them all away. But, she doesn’t even know about a pageant or her beauty or some 100 most beautiful woman’s list.
I wish those lists were named a little more accurately. They could be named 100 Most Beautiful Women In The World Of The Ones We Actually Know. Or why don’t they just call it what it is? Just Another Competition Between The Celebrities. Suzy down the street doesn’t get to play. This one is between Jennifer Anniston and Cherlize Theron, Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. The celebrities get to see once again who is better than who. It’s not as if they don’t have enough of those already. That red carpet is getting pretty worn out.
What I have actually wrestled with over the years is who I would pick in my top five. I wrestle with it because I’m unorthodox. While most guys go for the obvious, the latest and greatest. I’m a diehard. I’ve stuck with the same twenty throughout the years. And I can’t put them in order for who actually gets the top five. It all depends on when I’m thinking about it.
Watching Leaving Las Vegas with Nicolas Cage, the answer is Elisabeth Shue. She’s got some kind of look in her eye that knocks me dead. But, when I’m watching Under the Tuscan Sun, there’s Diane Lane. My absolute favorite of all time! Until I watch Dangerous Minds and see Michelle Pfeiffer. Flipping through the channels I see Heather Locklear on Boston Legal. And what about Sarah Jessica Parker, Faith Hill, Shania Twain and oh…Carrie Underwood. And of course, Jennifer Anniston is on my list. She has to be! That was just a joke earlier. While I’m at it, Cherlize is too. And Lindsay Lohan for some reason.
But, did you notice? My list did not include any Pam, Paris or Britney. Mostly none of the beautiful women other men would choose would make my list for some reason. I mean, I see how beautiful they are. But, there’s just something about them that keeps them off my list. And I can’t figure it out. I’ve wrestled with it for years. Here’s how the argument goes with me.
Who is more beautiful, Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Anniston? My answer is Jennifer Anniston even though I do wrestle with it from time to time when I see a picture of Angelina Jolie in a foreign land spending time with a child. And she’s for real about it too! She’s no Madonna who comes from New York and tries to sound like she’s British. The whole adoption thing with her was absolutely ridiculous. It’s like she’s trying to play catch up with Angelina like it’s some kind of trendy thing to do. Anyway, see how I battle with it?
But, Jennifer wins out every time. Why? It’s hard to explain. That’s a funny conversation within itself.
“She’s like the girl next door. Like she’s not some supermodel or anything.”
“But, she’s as gorgeous as any of those supermodels.”
“Oh, I know. I didn’t mean it like that. But, there’s something about her that’s down to earth. She’s more real to me.”
And going over that conversation for you, I realized two more. Courtney Cox and Heidi Klum. It was the whole comparing Jennifer with a supermodel and I came up with Courtney and a supermodel. See how my mind works? How many is that so far anyway? It looks like in my top five, I have about thirteen. So, there’s still a few missing.
But to get back to my point about Jennifer, it’s the whole real thing that does it for me. Angelina with her gracious style like her every move is choreographed. She makes taking a shot of whiskey look sexy. She makes the look when the alcohol burns her mouth look like you want a drink, not just a drink, her drink, not just her drink, her. Total sexy. All the time.
But, Jennifer I watched through the years in Friends. I’ve seen her sick. I’ve seen her cry. I’ve seen her in her pajamas with a busted lip. She was always gracious and always gorgeous. But, she was real.
It’s like the sitcom wives. None of them would ever grace a catwalk or even Peoples most beautiful blah, blah, blah. But, they are. They are real and they are absolutely gorgeous.
Everybody Loves Raymond’s Patricia Heaton. Stunning, and yet real.
Still Standing’s Jamie Gertz. Always did love her.
According to Jim’s Courtney Thorne-Smith, I mean cute right?
You get the point? What’s that make sixteen now? Getting closer.
But, I don’t always follow my own rules. I mean, I have no idea what the Jessica Simpson thing is about. I just like her. It’s like at the end of Dukes of Hazard when she was even in blue jeans. See, I’m not even talking about her in her Daisy Dukes. I’m talking about when she’s walking toward the roadblock trying to cause a distraction. The look in her eyes and the way she cocked her head as she was walking one foot in front of the other. That did it for me.
But, my main strength is seeing what others don’t. Look at who has been an unsung hero for years. The sidekick to Jennifer Garner in 13 Going on 30. But, I first noticed her when she played a little part in an old David Schwimmer and Jason Lee movie entitled Kissing A Fool. Judy Greer stole one of the only scenes she was in when they finally realize Jason loves the girl his best friend David’s been dating. Her jaw drops. She cocks her head. Then she scats out of the room. Her little part made the scene.
And then there’s Ashley Judd. What gets me most about her is how she went out on her own. She was touring with her sister and her mother. But, that wasn’t for her. She went off on her own and made her own name for herself. Boy, can she be sexy. And she is very real.
So, that brings me to one more left. What that actually means is that I have about thirty or forty in my top five. But, I’ll spare you and just finish with that last one. I’ll kick myself in the butt later for not including this one or not including that one. I just have to let you know that your jaw might drop. But, I have proof of how beautiful this lady can be. Bette Midler has a way of shooting a glance at the camera and knocking me dead.
So, that’s basically my list of women I will never have. Women I would be lucky to even meet. But, I have a feeling. One day, I will be walking down the street minding my own business and I’ll happen to look up just at the right time. I’ll see her standing there. The most beautiful woman in the world. She’ll talk to me in her Southern accent and I will completely melt. Then I will understand why People Magazine makes lists the way they do. I won’t want the whole world knowing how beautiful she is either. Leave that competition to the ones who want it.

Celeb Rehab – The Art Of Compassion

Brian Dyak asked:
In 1983, I founded a non profit organization, the Entertainment Industries Council, Inc. (EIC), to serve as a bridge between the entertainment industry and health and social issues. With these 25 years of experience, I believe I am qualified to respond to the finger-pointing, poking, prodding, lens clicking and tittering that surround celebrity rehab. And I’ve got something to say.
First and foremost, the celebrity rehab we read about is not a joke for people’s amusement. Thanks to our tabloid-driven pop culture, we-and our children-have unprecedented access to what addiction and mental illness look like. Britney Spears, Amy Winehouse, Lindsay Lohan and over two dozen other people gained headlines in 2007 for entering therapy and addiction recovery centers.
These are lives at risk, out of control, not jokes, and not reality television shows taking place on the streets of Hollywood for public amusement. If we pay attention, we can see complex stories unfolding before our eyes. One of EIC’s primary principles is to be non-judgmental in our approach and respect creative freedom afforded in our great nation. For those who make assumptions about substance abuse and mental health problems, I ask:
Don’t you think that every individual is entitled to kindness, compassion, and empathy– Especially during a time when he or she is emotionally and physically struggling?
These issues affect every cross-section of our population regardless of gender, socio-economic status, race or religion. The reality is– most of us can name at least one person in our lives who has been devastated by some form of mental illness or substance abuse. If you’re laughing now at Britney Spears, will you be laughing in five or ten years when, heaven forbid, your niece, uncle, sister, brother, even your mother or your own son or daughter loses control of his or her life? Will it be funny then?
There is a stark contrast between tabloid journalism, and gossip mongering programming that does nothing but flame the fires of misinformation– and media that makes a difference– sheds a light, educates, and may just save a life. What we often don’t realize in our collective rush to judgment, is that the entertainment industry can be an amazingly powerful ally in creating awareness and sensitivity to public health and social issues by airing programs that accurately depict the realities and the subsequent challenges we all may face.
VH1′s Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, A&E’s Intervention, HBO’s Rehab– are among important, revolutionary shows that serve the public in a unique and valuable way. Highlighting those first steps to fight the struggles that come along with addiction and mental health problems, is a process not unlike walking through a maze blindfolded. It’s scary and it isn’t pretty. Some make it to the betterment of their own lives, the lives of families, friends, and society. And some sadly don’t. However if these insights portrayed on these programs can help with efforts to heal or help in our empathy and understanding, then that can be a good thing.
This access to the private lives of celebrities who face constant scrutiny and challenges unimaginable by most people- is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it exposes us to the waking nightmare that losing control of one’s life can be, but on the other hand, it has opened dialogue about addiction and mental illness that has, until now, been hush-hush. While I, like most of America, am concerned about Britney Spears’s welfare, as well as the health and safety of her children, I am encouraged that we seem to have a national shift from bemused fascination with her spontaneous antics to recognition of her condition as critically ill, and a new awareness of the real point of rehabilitation: to get better.
So the next time you get a peek into the lives of Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Mel Gibson, Kirsten Dunst, Pat O’Brien, Eva Mendes, Marc Jacobs, Jesse Metcalfe, Eddie Van Halen, and others, be grateful for what you’ve got and respect these people for seeking treatment. If their stories make you query your own actions, consider following their example and get help. Thanks to public attention to the recovery process, which can and often does include relapses, we must stop mocking and start understanding. These stories may be the gift others find to deter the sadness of losing friends, family and great, late artists like Heath Ledger, Brad Renfro, and well, you know the list.
John Goodman recently made a telling comment about his recent work in rehab:
“For my family and myself, I voluntarily took the necessary steps to remain sober the rest of my life.”
Go for it, John, and thanks for sharing. Yes, “thanks for sharing,” that often-repeated mantra: When anyone, but particularly someone who receives national or worldwide attention because of his or her name, shares experiences of such a personal nature, it really does mean something in the big picture.
Going to rehab or seeking professional counseling for a mental health problem should be a personal and private experience, void of judgment. However, since it’s not for so many, why don’t we support those who face it openly and learn something? Cheers to media that enlightens us. And cheers to John Goodman and everyone else who has the strength and courage to ask for support and to do so in the public eye.
So now, why don’t we try to stop making assumptions, pointing the finger and practice a bit of compassion as celebrities as well as anyone who may be struggling with mental health issues or addiction, work to win their lives back?
