Alainn or Appalling: Susan Sarandon

Mar 2nd, 2010 | By HAL | Category: Alainn or Appalling

You know you’ve enjoyed a good year if Susan Sarandon is in there, she’s never been bad in anything, from romcom to drama, the woman can do anything. Recently she’s been busy dragging bad writing up into come classy roles. She’s at that stage in her life where Hollywood has no idea what to do with her.




Alainn or Appalling: Anne Hathaway

Feb 16th, 2010 | By HAL | Category: Alainn or Appalling

Anne Hathaway is one of those movie stars who seem as normal as is possible when you’re a movie star. She comes across as down-to-earth, good craic and lacking in diva overtones. If this is the product of PR, I don’t really care to be honest; she’s a cutie.




Alainn or Appalling: Mariska Hargitay

Jan 29th, 2010 | By HAL | Category: Alainn or Appalling

It must be pretty sweet for Mariska these days; finally she’s known for her work and not her mother. Jayne Mansfield, right, was a sex-bomb actress in the 1950’s and 1960’s. She was only 34 when she died in a car crash in 1967, with her three kids in the back seat. Mariska was just three so probably has no memory of the woman who would over-shadow her early acting career.




Alainn or Appalling: Lucy Lawless

Jan 17th, 2010 | By HAL | Category: Alainn or Appalling

Lucille Frances Ryan was born back in 1968 in Auckland, New Zealand, the fifth of seven children. With five brothers, she was always going to be a bot of a tom-boy and Lucy was always up to her neck in it with them; riding horses, climbing trees and enjoying the Kiwi outdoors.




Alainn or Appalling: Rachel Maddow

Jan 4th, 2010 | By CanuckJacq | Category: Alainn or Appalling

Rachel Maddow may not think she’ll ever be an anchor-babe, but from the reaction to her since she appeared on US television in 2008, it seems she’s just the eye (and brain) candy we’ve all be waiting for.
A Stanford and Oxford educated former Rhodes Scholar, Rachel spent her early years as an activist for HIV [...]




Alainn or Appalling: Tina Fey

The AfterEllen one is flattering. I think those girls take more of a 3-D picture before they decide they like somebody.




Cheryl Cole

Dec 6th, 2009 | By Gooner | Category: Alainn or Appalling

Now that The X Factor is almost at its conclusion, it’s time to take a look at one of the judges, none other than Cheryl Cole. She’s a lot more than a wag you know. Cheryl has more than held her own on The X Factor, even going toe to toe with the ever-vocal Simon Cowell and held her own. Her exploits have lead the media to christian her “the nation’s new sweetheart”




Alainn or Appalling: Kristen Stewart

Nov 28th, 2009 | By HAL | Category: Alainn or Appalling

krisI never thought I’d be doing an AorA about someone whose nickname is K-Stew, but she’s difficult not to notice. Twilight has pushed a rather embarrassed Kristen into the limelight. As a California girl, you’d think she’s love it, but this is a shy, serious young woman who doesn’t want to be famous, she wants to be a good actor. Weird these days eh?

It’s amazing how we all still know who she is, I mean, even I was a kid when she hit to peak of her fame. Top page 3 girl for the Sun newspapers turned pop star turned reality TV regular.




Alainn or Appalling: Jane Lynch

Nov 5th, 2009 | By HAL | Category: Alainn or Appalling

Anyone who, like me, has an heroic big sister who would readily go into battle to for you, can completely understand why everyone loves Jane Lynch. She is, like that big sis, smart, scathingly sarcastic, sassy as all hell and, underneath, soft as a kitten.
