Frigid 50: The Coldest People in Hollywood -- Number One?
On my web site Film Threat we just released our annual list of the Frigid 50: The Coldest People in Hollywood. As usual, it's an entertaining read, and better yet, some of it might even reach the heights of "pee-your-pants" funny... or maybe milk-spraying-out-of-the-nose funny. Either way, it's a must read for anyone who finds those "hottest" lists a bore.
I really enjoy the fact that this list comes on the heels of a parade of media outlets announcing their "most powerful" or "sexiest" lists. These type of stories tend to come out at the end of the year and our Frigid 50 feature has quickly gained ground as one of the "hottest" lists to read as the story gets picked up on the wire service and has even been discussed on CNN. Heck, we might make the crawl at the bottom of the screen on G4's Attack of the Show! (Oh, and as a favor to me, would you mind throwing our story a DIGG? I'd really appreciate it.)
Here's a sample of the 2007 Frigid 50 list which includes some of the following cold candidates:
3. Jim Carrey In "The Number 23," the world got to see a new side of Jim Carrey: the boring side. Whatever possessed the A-list funnyman to star in that tired little B-level thriller? Carrey's miscasting was so obvious that the film's marketing intentionally obscured his participation, burying his name in a busy corner of the movie poster.
12. Jessica Alba/Biel After demonstrating complete ineptitude as either action stars ("Rise of the Silver Surfer," "Next") or comediennes ("Good Luck Chuck," "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry"), it's become painfully obvious the only thing either of these "Jessicas" bring to the table is a nice ass, and at 26/25 years of age respectively, they've got maybe three more years before one of the thousands of wannabe starlets nipping at their heels finally catches up in that category.
20. Perez Hilton It was slightly funny when Perez was posting gossip and embarrassing paparazzi pics of D-List celebrities, but now that Perez is a D-List celebrity himself his site has lost all its outsider credibility. Plus, beyond being cruel with his clever words, what does Perez Hilton contribute? Pics and stories are (allegedly) borrowed and aggregated from other websites... this isn't content, it's commentary.
Plus more that may surprise you such as...
8. Eli Roth / Torture Porn
15. Ben Stiller
23. Children's Fantasy Films Not Beginning with the Words: "Harry Potter and the"
30. Winona Ryder
32. Steve Carell
43. John Travolta
51. Lindsay Lohan
Now I should tell you that the Frigid 50 story is put together as a group project by all the writers and editors of Film Threat, myself included. I don't necessarily agree with all the entries, but what is fun about compiling this annual list is the debate that accompanies not only who appears on the list, but at what number. I'm proud to have contributed to this year's number one entry and to discover who it is, you'll just have to read the Frigid 50 for yourself to see if you agree.
Right now, I'm feeling a bit cold.
