Just don't get the obsession with Michele Keegan.

She just looks like a cheap slapper from a council estate

Surely her popularity is proportional to cup size

I remember a thread a few years back with posters putting down hot women in the usual internet way and someone found a picture of one of the posters missus. Well...there's a reason why no-one should take anything remotely seriously on these types of threads judging by his comments and then the reality of what his missus looked like. Very funny it was.

For every attractive/successful/talented/rich person out there, there will be people on the internet falling over themselves to put them down and tell you they are talentless/ugly/fat/rubbish/they wouldn't touch them with a bargepole etc...

If you don't find someone hot then fair enough, but it's still possible to see that they are attractive and pretty etc.

That green eyed monster manifests itself in a number of hilarious ways!

Agree on Kate Moss, I really really can't see what's going on there, sex symbol or supermodel. Why?

I'll leap, partially, to Sarah Beeny's defence; she hasn't aged well but many years ago there was something very "grrrrrrr" about her; you just knew that she would match you pint for pint in the pub and then **** your brains out when you got home. And talk you through it in that husky, slightly upperclass accent.

I don't know how old this picture is but you catch my drift?

fking hell.

I was going to post but you've gone and beat me to it!

Oh, and sign me up to the Rachel Riley fan club too. Definitely a fan of the curvy figure!

Cameron Diaz. She is OK but I cant understand why folk rave about her.

[marksx]

Beeny looks a bit like Kaley Cuoco in that pic. Not bad at all.

The red dress in "The Mask". That's why.

[RumbleOfThunder]

Emma Stone. Very average.

I agree,she is nice.
Now then Beccy Meehan OMGFG (she reads the NW news),10x nicer than CD.
The Mask is one funny film,at the end where they are all dancing is ace.

I have one, which raised some debate around the dinner table a couple of weeks back - Princess Diana.

Never did it for me, even when I was in my prime testosterone producing years.

Oh god yes, everyone went on about her beauty and how she could have been a model etc; err no she was just an average looking woman who was in the right; then wrong, place at the right time, married into the most famous family in the world, spawned a future King and knew how to manipulate the press to fawn all over her.

I was going to say Diana but I'll also add Zara Phillips.

Looks like the result of a man having sex with a horse. Possibly the thickest member of our Royal Family, and there is much competition for that title.

Cheryl Cole or what ever she is called today

Never liked her or thought she was sexy.

just does not do it for me at all

Agreed. I can see that shes good looking, but she just doesn't do it for me.

I am the only one amongst my immediate friendship group that wouldn't have a go on Holly Willoughby - am I the only person in the world that can see she is cock eyed?

I think she has a slightly odd face, and always seems to be on the verge of getting very fat. I'm sure she would feel the same about me though, except I'm already fat

No one is perfect, look to people's positives rather than picking faults.

Having said that, Benedict Cumberbatch is head scratcher..

My O/H laughs every time she hears Brian Cox described as a sex symbol - I personally think he looks like a woman.

I think he's a beneficiary of the whole Martin Clunes thing, kind of so ugly he's adorable. Mind you, that never worked for me.

Ding!

As I said previously, I don't find Kylie 'sexy' but I can see that she is attractive. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

Kat from eastenders.
Should have been called Dog instead.

I'm just giving my opinion, ain't I? To me, she looks nothing interesting, could be a pornstar and people would be excited about her no less than now. Her face is featureless, i.e. does not possess anything of character. Short legs, fat joints. What else. Terrible. A teenage star they probably deserve.

She is seen as a sex symbol by who exactly?

She has tastes at odds with most other woman and she is attracted to you?
