And Renee Zellweger famously had to gain weight to become Bridget Jones (because why, they couldn't find an actress who doesn't weigh 12 pounds who wanted a job?). <BR/><BR/>Which means that there are no roles for leading ladies shaped like me, and that the men who are kind of shaped like me (even if they have great personalities and sparkling wits) are now going to expect that they "deserve" someone like Katharine Heigl. I don't mind these kinds of guys--for me the personality makes attraction. But many men don't feel the same. <BR/><BR/>Want a witness?

Of course, I think Tina Fey is totally sexy, so that might comparison might not work. But she is more of the traditional funny girl than a love interest lead. Too bad the hunky dude turned out to be her third cousin. <BR/><BR/>The chubby-schlubby guy/hot girl TV pairing has always gotten under my skin, although I do see it occasionally in real life (prime example being Sarah Silverman and Jimmy Kimmel -- what on earth?).WordNerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635980493012912685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-29013738218644110992007-08-03T01:50:00.000-07:002007-08-03T01:50:00.000-07:00how about bridget jones? or perhaps she's all that...how about bridget jones? or perhaps she's all that? okay perhaps not the latter. but they're something i guess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-52547124908690377262007-08-03T00:36:00.000-07:002007-08-03T00:36:00.000-07:00I totally agree with you in theory, that it would ...I totally agree with you in theory, that it would be nice if the trend were more balanced, but I think it's in some way a reflection of our society.<BR/><BR/>I do think women are attracted to more than just looks, whereas a lot of men don't see beauty without the physical. i think a lot of women (not me!) can find these guys attractive because of their personalities. So I have to say, as annoying as it is, I think the trend is somewhat realistic, as art imitates life. <BR/><BR/>I don't think filmmakers should create characters or movies with hot guys with schlumpy, ugly girls just on principle alone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-52626341084051701942007-08-02T14:36:00.000-07:002007-08-02T14:36:00.000-07:00Yuck- if these guys are the new leading man, I'm g...Yuck- if these guys are the new leading man, I'm glad I'm a lesbian.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-40738182039405048892007-08-02T14:26:00.000-07:002007-08-02T14:26:00.000-07:00i can't vouch for the blokes(to me there all plugu...i can't vouch for the blokes(to me there all plugugly but the chicks in a tv show in oz called rockwiz go there http://www20.sbs.com.au/rockwiz/<BR/>aintAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-27401142146826733792007-08-02T07:34:00.000-07:002007-08-02T07:34:00.000-07:00There was a show on TV for a while w/Joan Cusak an...There was a show on TV for a while w/Joan Cusak and her boyfriend was some hunky guy.
