The Ten Most Generic-Looking Hollywood Actresses


A Seriously Random List / Dustin Rowles

Seriously Random Lists | October 20, 2009 | Comments (83)


The most memorable young actresses in Hollywood today are memorable because they have unusual features, e.g. Amanda Seyfried has big eyes; Megan Fox has pronounced lips; Emma Stone has red hair and a smoker’s voice. So, it’s not a knock, exactly, at the ten women below that they are so instantly forgettable: There are worse things than a perfect bone structure, blemish-free skin, and symmetrical faces. They are perfect, in fact, as disposable heroines in horror movies — they’re attractive, but forgettable enough that we hardly ever root for them over the antagonist. Unfortunately for these ten actresses, they may be too perfect to be remembered. They’ve all been in successful pictures (many of them, more than one), and most of them have several projects in development. And yet, most of us not only don’t know their names, but we probably confuse many of them for each other. If you watch a lot of The CW, maybe this isn’t as true. But in my opinion, these ten actresses have the distinction of being the less distinct women currently working in Hollywood.


10. Amanda Crew (Sex Drive, The Haunting in Connecticut)

OK, Rowles, if this is the best you can come up with, I'm afraid you're out of ideas for your SRL's.

Why don't we just give it a rest until you can come up with something a little less, well, how you say, stupid?

-Ralphie

Posted by: Ralphie at October 20, 2009 12:04 PM

I have to admit, Rowles you really nailed this one.

I would add Alyson Hannigan.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at October 20, 2009 12:05 PM

Alys . . . Ok, now you're trying to piss me off.

Hey, Rowles? Where'd you get Glamor Shots photo of Rachel Nichols? Did you steal her high school year book and paste yourself into all the pictures so you could pretend to be her boyfriend?

Posted by: Tracer Bullet at October 20, 2009 12:12 PM

Yeah, this is a nice list. I totally disagree with Leighton Meester, though. I think she's really interesting looking, and pretty memorable.

Posted by: Marcela at October 20, 2009 12:14 PM

Eh... the only one I would contest is Leighton Meester. She has quite a nonstandard face, in my opinion, with cheeks and a chin that would probably hit a wall before her nose did, leaving three soft indents that would form a wonky sort of triangle. (As I discovered that time I slammed her face in a wall.)

Also, let's be honest, her name is Leighton Meester. "You know that Meester Meester lady? ...I think I just killed her."

Posted by: Ling at October 20, 2009 12:15 PM

K.F.M.:

Kill... Lynn Collins (association with Xmen-wolv... I want my 2 hours and 8 dollars back)
F**k... Leighton Meester (she has a sex-tape = kinky = no brainer)
Marry... Jessica Stroup (sucker for blue eyes and dark hair)


Posted by: MarcusArilius at October 20, 2009 12:15 PM

Given that Odette was #1 on the list, you missed a golden opportunity to re-post that Unborn poster of her ass. Please make that up to me sometime in the near future. It's been a while. Thanks.

As for the list itself, I hadn't even heard of about 70% of these people, so, no comment.

Posted by: Forbiddendonut at October 20, 2009 12:16 PM

Sorry, I'll have to see all of them from the neck down to be able to tell you if I remember them or not.

Posted by: admin at October 20, 2009 12:21 PM

Before I saw Zombieland I thought the main girl in it was Emma Roberts. I was very wrong.

Posted by: Carrie at October 20, 2009 12:22 PM

I have to admit I couldn't have named a single one of these. But then of all the projects listed I've only ever seen Leighton Meester in Entourage and Rachel Nichols in Star Trek.

Posted by: EricD at October 20, 2009 12:24 PM

This list is really similar to the "most interesting/beautiful eyes list" it just shows bias on the part of the list maker. With the eyes, apparently blue eyes were the only interesting/beautiful eyes and in this list brunettes are generic? These women aren't generic.

Posted by: king at October 20, 2009 12:27 PM

They're memorable to me, Rowles.

Hell, Rachel Nichols is #4 on my Top 10 presently. That and we saw Lynn Collin's tits on True Blood. Memorable indeed.

Posted by: Doric at October 20, 2009 12:29 PM

As soon as I saw the title I thought of Amber Heard.
Anybody seen All The Boys Love Mandy Lane? I got it for my best friend for his birthday (from Amazon UK, its not released in North America). He adores slashers and for whatever reason he adores this chick. After we watched the movie we decided to watch the interview with her in the special features.
Needless to say his opinion of her changed after that. When that girl's mouth opens...dear Lord. All I can say is she's lucky she has a pretty face.

Posted by: Manda90210 at October 20, 2009 12:44 PM

Rachel Nichols in Star Trek.

Posted by: EricD at October 20, 2009 12:24 PM

Generic actress as befits a generic, piece of crap "movie."

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at October 20, 2009 12:51 PM

OK, according to IMDB Lynn Collins played Dawn Green on Season 1 of "True Blood". Who the hell was Dawn Green? I'm drawing a total blank and I just watched it this summer. Anyone?

Posted by: TylerDFC at October 20, 2009 12:55 PM

I'd love to see this list but for men, too.

And then maybe the most forgettable pairings in movies.

Posted by: caroline at October 20, 2009 12:57 PM

Dawn Green was the hot waitress that Sookie found dead. She has a bunch of sex scenes with Jason.

Posted by: king at October 20, 2009 1:00 PM

I honestly didn't know that Lynne Collins, Scout Taylor-Compton and Jessica Stroup were three different people. That's genuinely unsettling and more than a little sad.

Posted by: freckles at October 20, 2009 1:03 PM

I think I'd replace Leighton Meester with Autumn Reeser, who I always think is the same as Amber Heard. I always recognize Meester (even if I do always think she's got the other one's name, and even if it is because she's always getting fugged).

Posted by: Anna von Beaverplatz at October 20, 2009 1:06 PM

since i watch way too much tv--including The CW--i have to say that Jessica Stroup was also on Reaper. she played the devil's daughter.

i have to disagree with Leighton Meester. it could just be my love for Blair Waldorf speaking, but i don't think she's generic looking at all.

i've never heard of the rest of these people, but that picture of Briana Evigan looks just like that chick from Vampire Diaries and Vanessa Marcil--and that chick from Roswell--so i would say that makes her look pretty generic.

Posted by: pq at October 20, 2009 1:17 PM

King: Thanks! Yeah, I figured that out finally. I had no idea the same actress played Kayla in Wolverine. She looked Native American in that and decidedly NOT in True Blood.

Of this entire list Lynn Collins is the only one over 25 and the only one that is listed as having attended an actual acting school, in her case Julliard. So I'm going to cut her some slack.

Besides Collins, Amber Heard, Isabel Lucas, and Leighton Meester seem to be the only ones doing much beyond slasher flicks and some TV. So I think the interchangeability (I'm going with it) is to be expected.

Also, I'm very bored and I have access to the IMDB.

Posted by: TylerDFC at October 20, 2009 1:19 PM

...and why isn't Megan Fox on this list?

Posted by: Claire at October 20, 2009 1:26 PM

You make a list of utterly replaceable cookie-cutter Hollywood tartlets and there are only 3 blondes* on it? You, sir, need some new glasses.

As a penance, the next list should enumerate attractive brunettes whom filmmakers believe are transformed into untouchably festering harridans by the simple expedient of donning a pair of glasses. And yes, you can begin the list with your pet Emma Stone who is, indeed, not easy to forget as she looks like a fucking muppet - a muppet voiced by a man or woman who made their puppeteering bones by smoking black cuban fatties at Frank Oz's sock-puppet speakeasy and swallowing scotch-slathered cocks behind dark, drippy puppet stages.

*yes, I realize that the carpet may not match the pubes and that many of these ladies may or may not be blonde from time to time, but I'm just going from the pics in the list.

Posted by: laredo at October 20, 2009 1:28 PM

Completely agreed. I know these girls vaguely, but couldn't name a single one to save my life. They just look like they'll never have a major film career--they'll get jobs, but they'll never break out.

I was going to say Leighton Meester might stand out a bit, but the truth is that once Gossip Girl is canceled, she'll likely fade away completely. Maybe show up in a horror movie or two, try and fail in a romantic comedy, and then she'll just disappear into Lifetime movies. But, knowing the CW that show will stay on forever.

Posted by: figgy at October 20, 2009 1:37 PM

Wow. Dead-on with the list there, Cap'n D.

Seriously - all ten of those actresses could cover my front lawn with tarp slathered in baby oil and have at each other with a wheelbarrow full of flippity-floppity silicone phalluses, whilst prancing about with suction-cupped Fist Of Adonis' stuck to their foreheads and I'd not have a clue who they were.

At no point during their four-hour carnal endeavor - while I'd be sitting comfortably on my roof-stool enjoying four fingers of Jameson and shouting out via bullhorn instructions on how to work the straps to the Sodomy Swing - would it even cross my mind to call a friend and say something along the lines of "Hey, you'll never guess who's handcuffed and writhing in an inflatable pool full of boysenberry preserves in my yard right now - it's So-&-So from that hit television show Whatsitsfuck."

Again, just to be perfectly clear: ALL TEN OF YOU ACTRESSES ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO COVER MY LAWN WITH A SLIPPERY TARP AND HAVE AT EACH OTHER WITH BATTERY-POWERED WANGDOODLES AND SLOSH AROUND FOR HOURS IN A DORA THE EXPLORER KIDDIE POOL FILLED WITH BERRY JAM BECAUSE IN NO WAY COULD I EVER CALL THE PAPARAZZI AND INFORM THEM THAT YOU'RE AT MY HOUSE HOG-TIED TO THE STRUTS OF A SEX SWING BECAUSE I HONESTLY HAVE NO IDEA WHO ANY OF YOU ARE OR WHAT MOVIES YOU MAY HAVE STARRED IN.

Please contact the publisher of this site for my home address.

Thank you,

Posted by: George at October 20, 2009 1:40 PM

I don't find amber heard attractive, even when she was naked in that one movie. I did like her dirty and bloody and mudcaked in Mandy Lane though...

Posted by: arrrghzi at October 20, 2009 1:41 PM

Also, let's be honest, her name is Leighton Meester. "You know that Meester Meester lady? ...I think I just killed her."

Ling, I totally think of that line every time I hear her name.

And, for some reason, Leighton Meester has always been memorable to me, even though she totally reminds me of Minka Kelly.

Rachel Nichols, I will always remember you for playing "Boobs McPhee" on "Alias". Because that was when I stopped watching "Alias".

Posted by: Jelinas at October 20, 2009 1:42 PM

I have not seen
A
single
1
of these shows/movies.

I have no idea who any of these ladies are.

How about a random list of the best naked male tushies in Hollywood.
That would be a fun contest to judge.

Posted by: Lindsey with an 'e' at October 20, 2009 1:43 PM

I'd take Meester off this list. Insufferable? Sure. Generic? Sweet crickets, no. If you can't see that hers is a uniquely pleasant face, I don't know what to tell you.

Otherwise, well done.

Posted by: Martin at October 20, 2009 1:44 PM

My only quarrel is that Lynn Collins looked very distinct, and attractive, as Portia in The Merchant of Venice.

I always thought Mischa Barton looked like a mayonnaise sandwich.

Posted by: Benny at October 20, 2009 1:52 PM

I know she's too old for this list, but Jennifer Aniston is the most generic A-lister, hands down.

I only know 2 names on this list, Meester's & Nichol's.
I have no idea who those other girls are.

That picture of Lynn Collins actually frightens me. Either that's an oil painting, or she's about to sneeze.

Posted by: Brie at October 20, 2009 2:05 PM

I didn't recognize any of them, which proves your point exactly.

Posted by: Peter Lynn at October 20, 2009 2:11 PM

First off: Skitz, well said sir, well said. The only matter upon which I can comment is your choice of refreshment. Were I in your place (which obviously isn't likely to happen since you wouldn't call me to tell me what's happening because you do NOT know who these women are) I would choose six nicely brewed IPAs.

Lindsey, wouldn't this site's bias sway that contest in favor of Nathan Fillion upon the conclusion of Trash?

Posted by: Lubeg at October 20, 2009 2:20 PM

Leighton Meester has both too unique a face and too unique a name to be really indistinct. I've never had a problem recognizing her, and I've never seen a second of Gossip Girl.

I would also disagree with Isabel Lucas and Rachel Nichols. I don't find Rachel Nichols forgettable at all... She's always pretty recognizable in her roles and she's got this kind of wide face that I think makes her much more recognizable than most of the girls here.

Isabel Lucas, well... She looks like a cross-dressing boy with scary eyebrows. Ugh.

Amber Heard's presence on this list makes me sad, though I can't really argue with it. A few times now I've watched a movie and thought "Hey, who was that hot blonde?" Then I catch her name in the closing credits. This has happened to me like three or four times now.

Posted by: spideychris at October 20, 2009 2:27 PM

I have no idea who a single one of these women are. Not their names or their faces.

And I demand the same list for men.

Posted by: Snuggiepants the Deathbringer at October 20, 2009 2:29 PM

Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do and do.

"Lindsey, wouldn't this site's bias sway that contest in favor of Nathan Fillion upon the conclusion of Trash?"

Perhaps, perhaps. I say we find out.
In the name of science, man!

Posted by: Lindsey with an 'e' at October 20, 2009 2:36 PM

I would really love to see Emma Stone replaced with any one of these actors. Though this may not have been her call, the entire time i was watching Zombieland, I was distracted by an overwhelming urge to scrub all that black shit off her face (that and the fact I was wearing her movie outfit by accident.) I could not tell what she looked like underneath all that makeup. No time to shower, but loads of time to reapply heavy eyeliner? Pfft, not buying it.

Posted by: Kate at October 20, 2009 2:38 PM

I think I'm gonna have to punch B-slim in the face, with a large meat cleaver, for including Alyson Hannigan in this list.

Posted by: The Kilted Yaksman at October 20, 2009 2:43 PM

Rachel Nichols looks exactly like a cross between Kelli Williams from The Practice and Bridget Fonda, two actresses who haven't exactly been swamped with work for the past couple of years. Allow me to kill two birds with one stone: Both of you are cordially invited to Skitty's Lawn of Passion, where you can tussle with ten women - WITH WHOM I HAVEN'T THE SLIGHTEST IDEA WHO THEY ARE AND ARE THEREFORE FREE TO FROLIC NEKKID IN MY SAPHIC SAFARI - thereby garnering the attention of some carefully selected media outlets and resulting in the possibility of minor roles in independent releases.

There you have Bird One. Bird Two?

"Were I in your place - which obviously isn't likely to happen since you wouldn't call me to tell me what's happening because you do NOT know who these women are..." - Lubeg

Should Kelli Williams or Bridget Fonda take me up on my offer, and provided you know who either of them are, consider a sixer of IPAs waiting for you. Bring your own roof-stool.

There you go: two birds, one stone...

Posted by: Skitz at October 20, 2009 2:52 PM

Emma Stone bugs the shit out of me. She reminds me of Justine Bateman (strike one) her comic timing in HOUSE BUNNY was worse than Rumer Willis (strike two) and she has a horrible lisp (strike three).

Posted by: andrew at October 20, 2009 3:00 PM

Yea... the first thing I thought when I looked through this list was "Wow, Dustin really does not like brunettes huh." I don't know any of these girls (except for Leighton Meester) so this is what I think based on just looking at them.

that first one = yes, very generic
Lynn Collins = not at all generic. She's just had shitty movies to her name (like most of these actresses)
Jessica Stroup, Brianna, and Scott hyphenated-last-name = yup. generic.
Amber heard = ugly.
Leighton Meester = not generic at all. The girl was in House, and I recognized her immediately when she got on Gossip Girl, even though she was a blonde in House. She has those bedroom eyes.
Isabel Lucas = meh. that's a bad picture of her.
Rachel Nichols = strangely alluring, not at all forgettable think.
Odette = this woman is definitely not generic-looking.

I don't think it's quite fair to do this list on girls who are in shitty movies that most people never heard of. In fact, I think a much more interesting list would be A-Listers who are generic-looking, but perhaps their meh-looks is overshadowed by their acting abilities.

I'll start it: Halle Berry and Naomi Watts (yea. I went there. Also, I'm a little shaky on how I feel about Halle's acting.)

You need a list for men.

Posted by: dene at October 20, 2009 3:01 PM

Leighton Meester? Hell, no. Blair Waldorf is my all time number 1 girl-crush and must therefore be stricken from this list instantly.

Posted by: Bumwee McGee at October 20, 2009 3:10 PM

Emma Stone (who I have liked in everything I have seen her in) looks like a female version of the guy who plays Dwight Schrute. I forget his name and I'm too lazy to look it up.
Seriously though. I think she's cute as a button but I can't help thinking they look like siblings.

Posted by: Whorish Mouth at October 20, 2009 3:20 PM

MrNadine loves LOVES Scout Taylor Compton.
He'll defend her, Rowles.
He'll come for your blood to do it.

Posted by: Nadine at October 20, 2009 3:29 PM

Leighton Meester has no business being on this list. Take her off immediately!

She has incredible brown eyes and unusual bone structure. Her body is insane, and she knows it, taking all kinds of fashion risks (some of them bomb, but at least she's interesting). And regardless of whether or not you like the shows she's on, she is a talented actress.

And she was born in a prison!

Posted by: lucy at October 20, 2009 3:54 PM

Huh, I was just thinking about how there are too many blondes- see Malin Ackerman, Kristin Bell, Anna Faris, Amy Smart, anyone on Entourage- and you seed this list with non-descript brunettes. (I do think Anna Faris is hilarious though.)

Rachel Nichols was AWFUL in Alias. I'd rather not see her in anything else.

Posted by: amanda47 at October 20, 2009 4:33 PM

Aw, Jelinas, I liked Boobs McPhee! Yeah, I'd have liked her a lot more if they hadn't swiftly de-gayed her character and given her a boring romantic subplot with Balthazar Getty, but at least she got to be all badass towards Evil Fred. I do think she's somewhat generic though - I followed Alias pretty seriously and I still didn't recognise her in the promo shots for GI Joe. Didn't even know she was in Star Trek...

Also, Isabel Lucas isn't generic, she's Crazy Naked Jungle Girl from Home & Away! Don't you people keep up to date on your Australian soaps?

Posted by: Shay at October 20, 2009 4:43 PM

Skitty's Lawn of Passion

HA! That made me laugh really hard. But iff'n it's yer lawn of passion, then how come yer the one up on tha roof?

Posted by: MM at October 20, 2009 5:10 PM

I take issue with Lynn Collins on this list. She is anything but generic. Although that picture is not flattering. Also, this list does lean to the darker side, Dustin? Is there something we should know? Cause I would take issue with that, too!

Posted by: Eyvi at October 20, 2009 5:30 PM

This is a good list, it's all the nobodies you see on the gossip sites.

Emily Blunt
Anyone on the CW

That Rachel Nichols photo is so weird, it's like Laura Palmer.

Posted by: lawnjart at October 20, 2009 6:19 PM

when this list with male actors?

Posted by: carrie at October 20, 2009 6:24 PM

I don't think Rachel Nichols deserves to be on this list...mostly due to two very special assets of hers (and I don't necessarily mean stuff like acting chops and indie cred *wink* *wink* here come the seizures again). The first time I knew of her was from watching some crappy horror movie set in an underground parking lot, called "D-19" or something like that, and I guess the simple fact that I remember this movie AT ALL speaks oodles about Ms. Nichols memorability. Maybe it had a tiny smidge to do with the fact that she spent 90% of the movie just running around in a skimpy, uber-cleavaged see-through wet dress...

P.S.: I find it funny that she once portrayed a character named "Boobs McPhee"...if I was to induct her into my lusty harem (current membership: 0) that's the EXACT first thing that'd spring to mind while rechristening her in a "Flavor of Love" type ceremony.

Posted by: Pancho at October 20, 2009 6:33 PM

While I find Rachel Nichols attractive (Honestly she was one of the few redeeming qualities in GIJoe), I gotta admit that I wouldn't pull her out of a line-up like this one. Same with Odette Yusman. I'd have go to imdb to remind myself that she was the girl in Cloverfield.

Oh and as for all the Meester defenders, I got two words for you: Mischa Barton. Ok, ok, two more words:....DAMN, what was that other girl's name...

....go to imdb....
...look up The OC...

...Rachel Bilson! That's her name!

All cute, all generic.

OH and B-Slim, I'd say that if you want to pick generic, don't pick Alysson Hannigan. Pick Buffy herself, Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Posted by: Fredo at October 20, 2009 6:43 PM

Are you people out of your Goddamn minds? No way is Emma Stone generic looking and how in the name of donkey fuck does she look like Dwight Schrute. Plus she has excellent comic timing, the best in that crappy movie.

Posted by: jimmy at October 20, 2009 7:00 PM

Damnit, I love Amanda Crew.
No real reason.
But she's totally captivated me in everything she's been in. I think it's the fact that she delivers some terrible lines and breaks the illusion of the film/show at pivotal moments, and then just when you're about to criticise her for it she starts getting good again.
She's a little trooper.

Posted by: mj88 at October 20, 2009 7:22 PM

Amber Heard and Odette Yustman are really hot but I agree that for some reason they just don't stand out to me. I can't figure it out.

Leighton Meester is adorably hot and sexy as hell and her inclusion is ridiculous.

The other girls are definitely boring.

Posted by: becks at October 20, 2009 7:30 PM

Um, you guys, Dustin said that Emma Stone was NOT generic.

The most memorable young actresses in Hollywood today are memorable because they have unusual features, e.g. Amanda Seyfried has big eyes; Megan Fox has pronounced lips; Emma Stone has red hair and a smoker’s voice.

And Meester shouldn't be compared to Mischa Barton because unlike Barton, she isn't carved out of wood.

Posted by: lucy at October 20, 2009 7:37 PM

First of all, I think Rowles' inclusion of that Nichols person on here pretty much signals a shift on Pajiba "star trek" policy. i.e. I was right all along MEANING: WORST MOVIE EVER MADE and the raping of Gene Roddenbery. THAT much is clear, at least to me.

SECOND! anytime, anywhere...douchebags, I'll be waiting, wearing my battle thong.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at October 20, 2009 8:48 PM

I am proud to state that I would not recognize any of these actresses even if I walked into them on the street--and I watched Star Trek too (what role did this Nichols play?).

However, I dispute inclusion of Leighton Meester on this list. Not that I have ever seen her on TV or movie or anything, but she does not have a standard Hollywood "look". Her face is too roundish, her hair is not bleached, and she seems to have kept away from fake tan (at least in the photo above).

I nominate Diane Kruger to replace her--the generic skinny blonde who played Helen of Troy a while back (I had to look up her name in the IMDb--that's how memorable she is). When I saw the trailer, I couldn't imagine anyone fighting 9 years to get _this_ chick back--now, if it had been for Monica Belluci, I would understand.

Posted by: True_Blue at October 20, 2009 9:34 PM

B-Slim: all Nichols played was "hot, green alien chick" in Star Trek.

Her inclusion on this list has nothing to do with what clearly was THE BEST STAR TREK MOVIE EVER! EVEN BETTER THAN RODDENBERRY'S!!!

...did Nichols play Kirk? If so, she did a good job.

Posted by: Daniel Hall at October 20, 2009 9:58 PM

Leighton Meester kind of has a younger Julianne Moore thing going on. None of these women really wow me in the acting department- so yeah, generic indeed.

Briana Evigan was not forgettable for me in step up 2. Quite the contrary - she was SMOKING. Has a pretty Hayden Panetierre (won't check spelling) face, a rocking muscly bod, a deep voice and could dance her ass off.

It would appear as though MichMuko totally disagrees with Leighton and Jessica Stroup...

I question your nerdosity, friend. As a matter of fact, I question your parentage.

I was just yanking your chain. While I didn't find it that bad, I do recognize that Abrams' Star Trek was generic. Then again, that's what the man does. M:I-3? Cloverfield? Everything he makes is derivative of something else, but nice and slick and palatable.

There I was, ready to lob in Mischa Barton, when I ran across Benny's post: "I always thought Mischa Barton looked like a mayonnaise sandwich." I just about fell out of my chair laughing! Right on, B, and on Wonder Bread, too!
The problem with all these generic, derivative girls is they are designed to fit those generic, derivative vehicles that are, as Fredo points out, supposed to be nice and slick and palatable. Oh, no, don't give us any Michelle Pfeiffers or Meryl Streeps for the next generation. No, we just want to spoon feed you these unmemorable, completely forgettable girl in unmemorable completely forgettable roles in unmemorable, completely forgettable movies.

I'm sorry, what were talking about?

Pancho, regrettably, Rachel Nichols wasn't actually playing a character named Boobs McPhee on Alias. It was a TWoP nickname she picked up in her first episode or two, where all she really did was mooch around and act with her boobs. She didn't even get a first name until episode 3 of the 5th season, despite being a regular.

I don't care what anyone says: Rachel McAdams. She could pass as Elizabeth Banks, Melissa George, or Dana Falconberry. It's weird.

Wow, in spite of seeing some of these movies/shows, I don't know any of these chicks. How about taking these ladies, the generic dudes (from that list), the writers of Epic/Date-Movie/Meet the Spartans and making a movie called, "Stuff That May or May Not Be Happening"?

WHO?!?!??

Who cares!!! My boyfriend also agrees with me. He is 10 years older than me, lol. We met online at age-gap club -- http://AgelessOnly.COM/. Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends.

Big no on Leighton Meester-she's the best thing on GG, and stands out in your crowd.
Also, love Rachel Nichols, don't know why, ever since Samantha knocked her out of bed on SATC, plus she was on Alias!

I'd do it with Leighton :) and I would never forget it (neither would she)

I have no idea who any of these women are.
