Proving that you don’t need to talent to make in the “Business,” these ten women have shot to the top of heap relying on little more than being a pretty face. Most have one or two hits that have made them look good, but their true face peeks out more often than not with one horrible film after another. Just because you have big boobies and pretty face doesn’t mean you can act. These women prove the rule.
10. Halle Berry – But Halle Berry won and Oscar…yeah so did Marisa Tomei and Angelina Jolie and nobody thought they deserved it. Big deal you sleep with a white guy and suddenly your Oscar worthy? Well I’ve seen BAPS, Swordfish and Catwoman. She’s consistent on many levels…consistently sucky.
Best Movie: Bulworth
Worst Movie: Catwoman, Gothika
9. Jennifer Lopez – No woman has gone as quickly to the top of the Hollywood world as quickly as Jennifer Lopez by just sleeping with the right people. From P. Diddy to Ben Affleck, Lopez has been able to mask her lack of acting talent by sleeping with the right people. Jumping from one forgettable film to the next, Lopez should stick to singing at least then she would only ruin one form of entertainment.
Best Movie: Out of Sight
Worst Movie: Gigli, Enough, Angel Eyes, The Wedding Planner, Shall We Dance, Monster-In-Law…take your pick
8. Lindsay Lohan – How do you go from one of the most promising stars working today to the joke of Hollywood? I don’t know but Lindsay Lohan has figured it out. Working hard to become the next Tara Reid (How did she not make this list?), Lohan has fallen hard from her high of Mean Girls. Making such forgettable films as Herbie: Fully Loaded and Just My Luck, Lohan has sucked her way though Hollywood by partying and doing copious amounts of drugs. It will be interesting to see when she sobers up if she’ll still have a career. Who are we kidding, she’ll do a nude scene and everyone will forget all the bad crap before.
Best Movie: Mean Girls
Worst Movie: Herbie Fully Loaded or Just My Luck
7. Amy Smart – Amy has been coasting under most people’s radar by starring in a number of middle of the road instantly forgettable comedies. Maybe you missed her as the girlfriend in Road Trip, The Butterfly Effect, Just Friends and Crank. Well don’t feel bad, everyone else did too. Her one note acting will have you thinking, “What have I seen her in before?” as she effortlessly blends from one mundane role to the next.
Best Movie: Road Trip
Worst Movie: Rat Race
6. Kate Bosworth – How do you kill Superman? Try casting a wooden actress as Lois Lane. It might not kill him but it won’t make people rush to see the sequels. Kate was able to impress people when she out acted her swimsuit in Blue Crush. Sadly the swim suit was phoning it in.
Best Movie: Bee Season
Worst Movie: The Rules of Attraction
5. Hilary Duff – Sure the “look at me I’m so cute” look may have worked when you were fifteen and people expect you to grow as an actress. Hilary is still working that fifteen year-old angle and it’s wearing very thin. Don’t believe me, watch Material Girls or The Perfect Man. Also drink lots of coffee before hand, the two films are visual Ambien.
Best Movie: Cheaper by the Dozen
Worst Movie: The Perfect Man
4. Carmen Electra – What’s that? You don’t think Carmen Electra is an actress? Well don’t worry, she’s not. She’s been in lots of movies but no one has ever accused her of being an actress. Remember just because you’re incredibly beautiful and the object of many peoples desire, it does not make you an actress.
Best Movie: Scary Movie
Worst Movie: Date Movie
3. Pamela Anderson – I know, no one considers Pamela Anderson to be an actress either but she’s done enough movies and television to qualify. Best known for her daring role in her best selling home movie, Pamela shows she can be more than just a pretty face. She is also a snake wrangler.
Best Movie: Scary Movie 3
Worst Move: Barb Wire
2. Jessica Simpson – Jessica’s breakout role in The Dukes of Hazzard was real stretch for any actress. She had to look hot in tight clothes. Somehow she managed to even make that look stupid. Blessed with the ability to make a lamp seem more intelligent, Jessica has expanded her acting chops with even more roles where she plays nothing more than an object to be won.
Best Movie: Still waiting on that one
Worst Movie: The Dukes of Hazzard
1. Jennifer Aniston – If you could win an award for playing glum in a movie, Jennifer Aniston would win every time. She mopes through every role playing the same downtrodden character in every film. With the acting range of dry toast, Jennifer Aniston might be a good actress but then she would have to do something other than mope.
Best Movie: The Good Girl
Worst Movie: Derailed
You’re absolutely right. How does Tara Reid not make this list?
And Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra are better actresses than Jennifer Aniston? You’re insane.
You’re right in that Aniston needs to stop playing mopey movie roles, but I think she did a decent job as the usually chipper Rachel on Friends.
Oh, and how do you put Jennifer Lopez on here but not Sarah Jessica Parker? Talk about bad acting. Just see Failure to Launch for a good example. “Let me get you a floation device!” One of the worst actresses going today.
Jennifer Aniston was passable in Office Space.
Tara Reid isn’t good, but she’s not bad either (or at least not bad enough). She’s got her schtick and she makes no promises beyond that. American Pie, Josie and the Pussycats, that’s range. Right?
Tara Reid hasn’t made a movie in so long, I keep forgetting she’s an actress.
I can’t really argue with any of these, although I do think Lindsay Lohan has a lot of talent, and a great natural appeal. She’s just making the worst possible choices, both in her script selection, and in how she handles her life. But she is basically just a kid, and, after all, kids are stupid.
Aniston was great on FRIENDS, but I’m not convinced she has any kind of long-term chops… being #1 on the list does seem a bit harsh, though…
Ooh! I got one you totally forgot—Katherine Heigl. Her ratio of hotness to lack of acting talent is one of the most dramatic in Hollywood. She’s pathetic. But gorgeous.
Come to think of it, that lead actress on GREY’S ANATOMY is pretty bad too.
I still remember the first time I saw the trailer for “Mean Girls.” For the first several seconds I thought Lindsey Lohan was Frankie Muniz in drag. To this day, anytime I see a picture of her, I’m reminded of Muniz.
Ketherine Heigl sucked in Roswell and doesn’t really do much better in Grey’s Anatomy. She’s very pretty but about as talented as a stump.
I put my 2 cents in for Demi Moore.
Her body can take her voice only so far.
I can’t argue with any of this list.
Except Halle Berry is way too low on this list.
Pam Anderson is a Canadian institution. How dare you mock her!!!
Okay maybe you’re right, but as a Canadian I gots to prop her regardless, it’s the law.
The rest of the list is bang on.
Halle Berry & Sharon Stone in Catwoman is a double-whammy! I really wished Hugh Jackman would’ve “accidentally” severed Berry’s head in X-3.
Come on… This list is shenanigans. Carmen Electra doesn’t need to be a good actor.. She’s drop dead gorgeous.
Scarlett Johansson is terrible. There is a difference between subtle and expressionless. She is expressionless. I think people tend to forget that because she is good looking with an ample chest.
Yes, Halle Berry deserves to be at the very top of this list. Her best film is actually THE LAST BOY SCOUT. Why? Because we get to watch her get brutally murdered...and that film rocks. She’s THE worst working actress because she’s still working in incredibly high-profile films AND she has an Oscar. That’s like Cuba Gooding Jr’s Oscar… and he beat out Ed Norton for the best acting debut in the last several years. I don’t know who Halle beat out, and I don’t care. She sucks… has always and will always suck.
And J. Lo started out great with SELENA, OUT OF SIGHT and U-TURN… then everything went to crap with Bennifer…
why isn’t penelope cruz on this? she has been in so many horrible movies. no talent whatsoever!
Hey, where the hell’s Paris Hilton, why ain;t she on the list. That woman is bad.
Julia Roberts is a horsr-face troll who unfortunately has the talent to match...I guess she didn’t make this list because no one considers her good-looking!
You know who’s a HORRIBLE actress? Whoopi Goldberg! Good thing she’s still got her looks… ;D
Roberts didn’t make the list for two reasons, one, she’s not one of the worst actresses working today and two, she’s pretty much retired from acting to focus on raising her children.
What about katie holmes?
