<p>Any one see that photo in the 2nd article, her in a purple dress and her husband in camo?</p>
<p>She really opened herself up to the barrage of negative publicity, I think a 9 or a 10 could write that article, but not a 5-6-7! If you knew her, you would probably think she was attractive, a nice looking woman, for her age, etc. But not remarkably pretty & I have trouble believing she is so amazing as to have attracted all the freebies she claims!</p>
<p>I do agree with those who say that beautiful women can often be treated very badly by other women, due to jealousy. At the same time, beautiful people benefit from their looks in so many ways that it probably evens out over time.</p>
<p>The most popular females seem to be those who are just pretty enough that others are happy to be seen with them, but not so pretty that they are threatening.</p>
<p>It’s funny. Being so beautiful and all, you’d think she could have done better than the fat tub of lard husband she landed. Doesn’t look like he’s spending much time on the elliptical. The baggy cargo pants and cinchin’ up that belt under that big ol’ belly aren’t hiding anything, fella.</p>
<p>That’s exactly what I meant by people being rude when they don’t like what they hear: </p>
<p>“It’s funny. Being so beautiful and all, you’d think she could have done better than the fat tub of lard husband she landed. Doesn’t look like he’s spending much time on the elliptical.”</p>
<p>Have you ever thought that not every attractive woman is so superficial that she chooses her husband based on looks?</p>
<p>Maybe I lived and worked in Hollywood for far too long. But, I have known (and know) A LOT of drop dead gorgeous people, but have yet to encounter someone who considered their good looks inordinately burdensome. The “burden of beauty” is a crock. Annoying self centered ugly people are just as unlikable as annoying self centered beautiful people.</p>
<p>
Thanks for the laugh! I needed that.</p>
<p>I think it’s all for ratings and that the author and the paper intended this to get the response that it did. Guess it worked.</p>
<p>Um, her forehead is too high, she has stringy hair. Her smile looks like a grimace & she doesn’t hold her body well. But she is white & blond, & that’s all some people are looking for-but I think she has had her 15 minutes.</p>
<p>Clearly my life is no longer worth living as I’ll either be mobbed by tons of unwanted attention from men and shunned by other women, or I’ll be so insanely jealous (because I’m not being mobbed/shunned) that I will make life a living nightmare for some poor unsuspecting beautiful person by not asking her to be my bridesmaid. I might as well just end it now. And I certainly don’t want to go to college in LA anymore – I might have to compete with Victoria Beckham, who is clearly there only to get away from all the attention in the UK.</p>

<p>I was gonna say something catty about her like, “honey, you may think you’re hot, but the Spanx ain’t hidding that pooch any more. Time to cut back on the carbs there sweetie…”</p>
<p>But, that would have been mean, so I decided to go after that big ol’ fatboy husband of hers. I know that belly. The man needs to put down the potato chips and start doing some burpees. He’s gotta have bruises from trying to cinch in that belly with his belt. 10 to 1 those are the cargo pants with the elastic “expandable” waist “for all day comfort”. If he got on an execise bike, his belly would be bouncin’ off his knees. And, is that a camoflauge hunting outfit he’s wearing, or a family tent?</p>
<p>Oh, and no… you don’t look “muscular”. You look fat.</p>
<p>Oh, ek, that made me laugh so hard! I love Jenna! Did you know that character originally was written for Rachel Dratch?</p>
<p>Also, I agree that beauty can have it’s downsides. I just don’t think this woman is that beautiful. And, no, I’m not jealous. And in that last photo in the first story she really does look like the John Edwards mistress!</p>
<p>That third link is interesting</p>

<p>Michelle Pfeiffer, who I’ve always liked, makes to be what I would consider some interesting points and whoever is writing the article won’t even listen to what she is saying.</p>
<p>In short, she is pointing out that there were times when her beauty made it hard for her to get parts. She isn’t complaining or feeling sorry for herself, she is just stating something that I find believable. As another example it was hard for Andie MacDowell to be taken seriously as an actress because coming from modeling people assumed she couldn’t act.</p>
<p>Michelle Pfeiffer is worth listening to and doesn’t grant many interviews. It’s too bad the magazine writer didn’t think so.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>In the new internet era of social media I think we now need at least a 1 week cooling off period after April 1 to get through all the recycled stories that were initially launched as April fool’s jokes.</p>
<p>I think the people who assumed Andie MacDowell couldn’t act were right. Meoooowwww!</p>
<p>I like hubby. I think he’s cute.</p>
<p>“In short, she is pointing out that there were times when her beauty made it hard for her to get parts.”</p>
<p>ha, ha ,aahah ha ha ha ha</p>
<p>Michelle Pheiffer is so,so,so funny.</p>
<p>Not only does she want all the beautiful roles, she wants Kathy Bate’s roles as well! </p>
<p>It all reminds me of another 30 Rock…“The Bubble”</p>

<p>Speaking as the hetero male that I am, I’ll say the pics of her are attractive, especially the one in grey dress and black hose. But she’s sure no great beauty in my mind. I thought this woman would rival Scarlett Johansson for physical beauty. Ha!
She is attractive to be sure, but not a head turner as someone said earlier.</p>
<p>P.S. my post refers only to my opinion on the physical beauty of the woman in the article since that is the heart of the article.</p>
<p>Well, she IS British.</p>
<p>Perhaps they have a different standard? I mean, all brits look the same to me. LOLOL</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I agree with you that what Michelle is saying has truth to it, and the way she is saying it isn’t offensive like Samantha Brick. I did raise an eyebrow, however, when she suggested it’s harder on the self-esteem for beautiful people because so much of their self-worth is in their body image… while I’m sure that’s true, I think that’s a universal problem, not a pretty-person problem. To think otherwise seems naive and self-important.</p>
<p>Quite frankly, I think there’s truth to what Samantha was saying too, she just said it in the most repulsive way possible and made a farce of herself.</p>
