You know how sometimes you look in the mirror in the morning and think, "Ugh. Can I call in ugly today?" Well, today Maxim magazine staff members took it upon themselves to make this judgment against five strong, intelligent, successful, LOVELY women who did nothing wrong except not strike gold in the genetic lottery. Which apparently means they're deserving of having their self-esteem ripped apart by Wizard of Oz-esque creatures who probably aren't beauty queens themselves.
Topping the list is Sarah Jessica Parker, who one writer called a "Barbaro-faced broad." The "Sex and the City" star is a favorite because she's fun, smart and has fashion balls. (I kind of hate her for those thighs, but after today, we're square.) So just because a girl's face is a little long, even though she's witty and worldly and interesting, no one wants to have sex with her?
The other four are: Amy Winehouse, Sandra Oh, Madonna and Britney Spears. The first two are totally unacceptable. But the second two I begrudgingly agree with. However, it's not because of how they look. If I have the body of either of them after poppin' out two kids, I'll join whatever red bracelet club they want. No, it's because of their attitudes.
Madonna has that constant "I'm entitled" thing going. I know she's had a million hits, but why do we still care about her? Because she kissed Britney? Because she wrote a children's book? I really don't get it. It can't be her acting skills.
And Britney also seems to have a personality issue. I don't know if it's the eighth-grade education thing, but after her interview with Matt Lauer, I just could not find any reason to admire her. At least back in the day she seemed friendly while being dumb. Now she's just clumsy and thoughtless, all the while popping her gum and demanding respect.
What is the point of a list like this? Why be hurtful? To get publicity? Who would write about ...
Oh.
