[Lavender Brown]

1. Blah

[Phillycat]

2. Yes. She is...beige.

Perhaps ecru.

[212demop]

3. expand? n/t

[Lavender Brown]

6. She is a moderately talented actress with OK looks

made out to be a genius actress of unprecedented beauty. In my opinion only. :shrug:

[Cadence]

4. She is the mother of an apple.

[DrWeird]

5. I think she's an actress

or something.

[212demop]

9. Any good, over, over-hyped, ever good, jumped the shark, turned Yoko?

[DrWeird]

11. I really don't pay attention to hype. She could be over hyped.

I thought she was perfectly cast as the Narrator and Galadriel in the Lord of the Rings movies.

[billyskank]

13. That was Cate Blanchett, dude!

Playing Galadriel. They are very similar looking though.

[DrWeird]

16. No, man...

You're thinking of Cate Mulgrew. She played Captain Ryker on Star Trek: SG-1.

[billyskank]

20. Oh yeah!

I'm always getting those mixed up. Her and Columbo, the man with the dirty mac who discovered America.

[Phillycat]

18. Dr Weird is f**king with you.

Because that's the sort of thing he's into. :)

[Debbi801]

7. I am happily married, but...

I thought she was so hot in Shakespeare In Love. Unfortunately, she's turned blah'er than blah since then. And who in their right mind names her child after a fruit?

Debbi

[212demop]

10. Clementine is a nice fruit name, no?

[Kire]

27. I thought they named the fruit after a girl named Clementine,

not the other way around. Am I wrong?

[Pacifist Patriot]

8. A spoiled truffle owner?

[DrWeird]

12. Is that: an owner of spoiled truffles?

Or spoiled owner of spoiled truffles?

[billyskank]

14. Or a spoiled owner of perfectly unspoiled truffles?

[DrWeird]

19. Well, we know the truffles spoiled.

Nothing worse than a spoiled truffle.

[Pacifist Patriot]

22. Hmmmm. that is the question, isn't it?

[barb162]

15. I thought she was an excellent actress in Emma & Shakespeare

in Love

[Sanity Claws]

17. But she seems like a real person

I agree that she is not as beautiful as many in the press would have us believe. I think she is actually quite talented. What I like about her though is that she seems genuinely nice, with a strong relationship with her parents (her father died a year or two ago) and a loving relationship with her husband and child.
In Hollywood, that's rare

[StClone]

21. Exactly

She a decent person with an agreeable persona and a nice body. Her breaking the bench scene in "Shallow Hal" surprised the hell out of me.

[Danger Duck]

23. Isn't she

one of the Hilton sisters?

[StClone]

26. No that's

Kate Hudson.

[skypilot]

24. She is an eerie reincarnation...

...of a young Peggy Lipton. I've always like Paltrow but could never put my finger on what the "wow factor" was for me. Then I saw some photos of Peggy Lipton from the sixties and early seventies and the resemblance between Lipton then and Paltow now is spooky. I had a HUGE crush on Peggy Lipton when I was a kid.

[Bridget Burke]

25. Daughter of rich & famous actress & producer...

Educated expensively. Steven Spielberg--a pal of her parents--put her in her first movie without a screen test.

A few years back, Vogue magazine canonized her as a fashion heroine in a cloying cover article; when Vogue gets cloying, it's really cloying! Then, she showed up at the Oscars looking like this:
