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: Tina Fey

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




Alainn or Appalling: Charlize Theron

Oct 25th, 2009 | By HAL | Category: Alainn or Appalling

There are very few female movie stars who are known by their first names; Meryl, Angelina, Jodie, Julia and Charlize are just a few. All but one of these ladies are also considered box-office gold, guaranteed bums-on-seats no matter what the film. Charlize is on her way though and she’s doing it the hard way – in spite of, not because of, her looks.




Alainn or Appalling: Emily Blunt

Emily Blunt is not perfect. Oh she has perfectly pout, peckable lips, a body to die for and eyes you could lose yourself in, but ladies she dated the one and thank god the only Michael Buble. Now, I’m not saying the crooner is as boring as an auditor’s Christmas Party, but he ain’t winning any personality prizes.




Alainn or Appalling: Meryl Streep

Sep 23rd, 2009 | By HAL | Category: Alainn or Appalling

Meryl Streep can do anything, be anyone and become anything and we’ll believe her. She is, undoubtedly, one of (if not the) best actress working in Hollywood and she rocks those blue glasses she wears.




Alainn or Appalling: Shakira

Sep 7th, 2009 | By HAL | Category: Alainn or Appalling

Columbia’s second-biggest export Shakira just as addictive as the first, and has amassed a huge fortune over a lifetime of performing. She’s not just a pretty face and impossible abs, though, this is one serious lady.




Alainn or Appalling: Lisa Hannigan

Aug 31st, 2009 | By HAL | Category: Alainn or Appalling

Lisa Hannigan is one of those love-her or hate-her musicians. Depending on your outlook she either has the voice of a siren, stroking your heart-strings and evoking a sigh. Or she sounds like a banshee.




Alainn or Appalling: Milla Jovovich

Aug 21st, 2009 | By HAL | Category: Alainn or Appalling

Milla Jovovich may have been a model (she started modelling at the tender ags of 9) but, when she decided to make the leap to the big screen, she shirked the usual glamour roles. Instead she opted to play one outcast after another.




Alainn or Appalling: Tori Amos

Aug 7th, 2009 | By HAL | Category: Alainn or Appalling

Wizard of weird, queen of quirk, princess of the peculiar, Tori Amos could not be more diametrically opposed to the modern female music ‘artist’. She has an embarrassment of talent, couldn’t give a fiddler’s fart about celebrity and wouldn’t be seen dead on a reality TV show. Actually maybe dead…she might get a kick out of that.




Alainn or Appalling: Eliza Dushku

Jul 31st, 2009 | By HAL | Category: Alainn or Appalling

Eliza has been simmering under the radar for years now, chewing the scenery in anything by Joss Whedon she can get her hands on. Over the past couple of years, however, her stars seems to have been on the rise with the success of Doll House in the US.
