I think I have to see Channing Tatum's new film purely for research purposes of this thread, will report back ;-)

As a male I would say

Pamela Anderson (can't stand that look), Rachel from Friends (I remember EVERY guy was harping on about her), Drew Barrymore, Courtney Cox, Angelina Jolie (post-Hackers), loads more really, my minds a blank.

Rheese Witherspoon, although I'm not sure she's generally thought to be amazing.

Best description I ever heard of her during a movie review on Phantom was "a woman consisting mostly of chin"; summed up my opinion of her perfectly.

Is Channning Tatum her long-lost brother? Between them they have enough chin for a large family.

I always find more women seem to want to look like her than men actually seriously fancy her. She is definitely a womans idea of beauty more than most men.

I dont find Christina Hendricks even mildly attractive. Kylie Minogue neither, something about her that makes her look like a mannequin.

Megan Fox seems to look faker every day. She had some seriously protruded eyelids in one photo I saw. Her husband has a face like a brick wall and all.

Come on now OP, George Harrison was a good looking man.

I cannot understand the hype surrounding...

1) Myleene Klass (I mean, seriously, the woman is not attractive)
2) Emma Watson (Cute as a kid but a plain jane now)
3) Heather Graham (Plain)
4) Rihanna
5) Keira Knightley
6) Charlotte from Geordie Shore

I always thought Jennifer Aniston looked like Brad Pitt in drag.

Regardless of anyone's opinion on Usher's looks, surely it's possible for a Somali Pirate to be good looking/attractive.
Mainly i responded to this, though, 'cause mention of Usher reminded me of this:

The world uses that stupid cliché and well you know it. What is it even supposed to mean anyway?

gobnaitolunacy

Most female models these days look emaciated and/or slightly alien-looking.
Oh for the curvier 1940's type pin up!

pippa o'connor's brian ormond - he looks like a skanger, i think he got the teeth fixed after that 'you're a star' i'm sure they were crooked back then

Ms.M

Ryan Gosling and Ryan Reynolds.
They're meant to be pretty boys and they aint very pretty....

Penguin24

I don't understand the fascination with Mila Kunis either. I'm not saying she's unattractive but I just wouldn't look twice if she passed me on the street! When I saw Black Swan, I didn't notice her. I think Natalie Portman is stunning though

But she's so pretty! I'm a woman and this is the first time I saw her: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw5C63blrMg

I remember thinking she was the most beautiful thing I ever did see.

Kate Middleton!

She looks so old for her age. Very ordinary at the least.

And Pippa Middleton. I get the ass and it was great on the day but I don't think she's hot. Not one bit.

Think some of the lads responding here with "You lot need glasses!"-type comments are kinda missing the point. It's not that some of these people aren't good-looking, just seriously overrated. Megan Fox a great example: she's not jaw-droppingly spectacular; she's just held up as being jaw-droppingly spectacular and then loads of guys go with it. Honestly, is this face that special...like, one of the most gorgeous women in the world special? Everyone said this about Britney Spears, and who holds to that anymore?

Pippa Middleton is laughably overrated - hyped by media because of who her sister is (Kate is better looking.)

A lot of this stuff is driven by people being told who they should think is gorgeous, then convincing themselves they do. For example, loads of people saw Ghost World, which starred Scarlett Johansson in a supporting role. Nobody made a fuss about her then, but Lost in Translation comes along and suddenly she's unreal. Why did so many guys see her, not really give any thought to her, then a couple of years down the line when she's hyped-up, they think she's the most attractive film star ever?

But guy saying Mila Kunis...you do need glasses. :P

Craig Doyle is good looking according to who? He's awful.

The Mass Media ; Films Television Advertising uses acceptably 'Beautiful' people
But they are not great beauties because popular taste is never very good .

OP, I've noticed over time that quite a lot of your posts are about looks, and/or Justin Bieber, and quite a lot have been you posting pictures of yourself. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and pretty much diagnose you with body image issues. Have that one for free.

I won't be answering the question though because I'm not into labelling people ugly, as you have done. But congratulations. Well done for that. Your parents must be so proud.

See a counsellor.
Seriously.

I don't get this. You say all these people are awful looking and unattractive; some I agree with though. If I saw these people on the street and they weren't famous I would take a second look.

That is an entirely different question. There's a bit of a gap between who you think is hot and who you'd turn down. On second thoughts it's more like a chasm.

I just watched that and thought she looked awful young in it so had a Google. Video was released in December 2000 so was probably filmed a few months before meaning she was 15 or 16 at the time. Robbing the cradle there Ms. M??

I think Angelina Jolie is overhyped. For Men I suppose One Direction guys, they are awful young looking and women of all ages seem to coo over them which is a bit creepy

Whatsernamex33

Johnny Depp? I can't see it, at all...

Da Shins Kelly

I do not get the appeal of the Brad Pitts/George Clooneys/Leonardo Di Caprios of the world.

Ryan Reynolds is not attractive in any way to me.

Robert Pattinson - to be honest, I've never met anyone over the age of 15 who thinks he's attractive.

I've heard a lot of people talking about those Hemsworth lads. They're not my cup of tea, to be honest. I thought they were the same person until not too long ago.

On the subject of the Beatles, George Harrison was a good-looking guy. The rest of 'em - meh.

Agreed on JFK's looks, but his success with the ladies probably had something to do with his personality - he was a leader and powerful man. I know plenty of women who dig that.

Dunno if I can pass much comment on the looks of women, but as far as I can see Angelina Jolie ain't what she used to be. Skin and bones, she is.

Oh wow, I'm sure the Beatles would be so upset that some kid on boards doesn't get why girls everywhere would've done anything to be with them.
I do have body image issues definitely, as I get more compliments each day they lessen, but damn if I can have body image issues, I feel so bad for people who don't have the chance to get the reassurances I've been fortunate to get. I'm lucky. Seriously, few people have said I look ugly on here, my old self that would've killed me, but nowadays I can wipe it off and rubbish it(I'll have to assume based on what I hear that I'm not) but no matter who you are, looks ain't universal, obviously some are more than others but you can't fret about something you can't change, in the end it doesn't matter that much.

Also something that u guys might have missed. I'm a real vain person but only about myself, to others I don't give a crap about looks. I'm the type of person who will always give compliments and assure others because I know what its like to feel down about your self image.

I have to say, fair play to you EdenHazard for constantly taking a beating on boards (even though I think you're a sucker for punishment ) and never giving an inch. If it is what it seems, then you have definitely developed a thick skin. Kudos.

I was looking at the film drive and I can see the hoopla about Ryan Gosling, http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0331516/ and the co star another up and coming Brit actress Carey Mulligan http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1659547/, a good film if anyone is interested.

paddyandy

Media women are acceptably good looking but that is about it .Real Beauty frightens men and threatens women so in entertainment they are generally a very common lot on the premise that " you can't sell excellence to the masses" everything has to be downgraded .

castletownman

I don't know what the whole world think of her looks-wise, but I used ta have a thing for Jessie J.

That's until the Olympic boxing coverage on RTE started, during which I realised she looks eerily similar to former Irish boxer, and current pundit, Bernard Dunne. Jaysus!

EZ24GET

I have heard people on television gush over Tom Cruise and how good looking he is, but personally I have always thought he looked a bit rodenty. Just my take never could figure out why anyone wanted to marry him.
