    Am I the only one who is utterly disturbed by his dingy eye brows? I can’t look at this guy one bit. Hot? Where? I must have missed that train. Fugly guy.

  2. kristen says:

    I think he needs to be featured in Hot Guy Friday!!!

  3. aenflex says:

    Dude is not good looking a all. Looks like he will age badly, too. And he sure as hell doesn’t deserve 30 million for anything he’s done, he’s a fucking actor for chrissakes!

  4. mln76 says:

    I love him did anyone see Something New??? What a hottie. But I don’t watch cop shows.

  5. Eleonor says:

    I find him really charming, he is hot in a very old fashion way. I like him!

  6. Susette says:

    Every time Kaiser posts a picture of Simon Baker an angel gets their wings. Every one has different taste, but he definitely runs toward mine.

  7. mimi says:

    That’s not fair to say he got hotter cuz of the money, he’s ALWAYS been hot!

  8. Kiska says:

    Simon has the most amazing curly blonde hair.

  9. Anguishedcorn says:

    Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, that devilish smile, that wavy hair, those down-turned eyes. God that man is hot.

  10. truthSF says:

    I hate Sanaa Lathan. first she stole Denzel Washington from me and had sex with him in “Out of Time”. And then turns around and steals Simon Baker and has sex with him in “Something New”. That B*TCH!!! 🙂

    P.S., just found out that Teena Marie is dead at 54. She died in her sleep on Christmas night and was found the next day by her teenage daughter. I’m all kinds of sad right now 🙁

  11. Jeane says:

    HOT!
    My bf, along with almost every guy I know, has a total man-crush on him.

  12. henriette says:

    Simon has a pretty face but he is a tiny short diminutive elf of a man, which is not hot to me… even with $30 million.

  13. telesma says:

    Those glasses are disturbing. And The Mentalist is a charming bit of fluff, but I’m trying to understand how that’s worth $30 million.

  14. JuliaGuglia says:

    Jenny, you have an eyebrow obsession 😀

    I think he’s lurrrrvley, I really do! Nice way about him he has, and easy on the eye too.

  15. lena80 says:

    TruthSF…it’s sad isn’t it? My mom constantly had Teena Marie on rotation in our house while I was growing up! Too young to die, and I feel horrible her daughter found her like that.

    I’m a little surprised the “Queen of Blue-Eyed Soul” didn’t get an appreciation post. She paved the way for a lot of blue eyed soul artists.

  16. nina says:

    I can see how other people could consider him attractive but he’s never really done it for me (which is weird since my type is scruffy and rugged). When I first saw him in Devil Wears Prada, I recoiled in disgust. His face is … weird. Like, all his features on their own are fine but when put together, they make him look like he’s been hit in the face with a shovel.

  17. I Choose Me says:

    @FatJennyfromtheBurgerBlock – so bad eyebrows = fugly? Wow!

    I’m always interested to see what people’s deal breakers are when it comes to the looks of the opposite sex. Me, I don’t like bad teeth, bad breath or ugly hands, esp ones with nail-bitten fingers. Ugh!

    I have to ask, if his eyebrow situation (according to you) was corrected would you then find him attractive?

  18. Trish says:

    Simon was really hot in ‘Sunset Strip’. He appears to be a really sweet, down to earth guy (by way of ‘The View’ interview I caught).

  19. Jennifer says:

    oh !! he is a love you should have seen him as the young cop in Estreet (Australian production of the late 80’s early 90s) he was devine sigh I could never decide who was hotter, him or Marcus Graham. It was Marcus Graham whom Nicole left for the short one.

  20. lucy2 says:

    He’s not classically handsome like The Hamm, but there’s something attractive and charming about him. I don’t watch his show, but kudos to him for scoring that deal.

  21. guilty pleasures says:

    Too much money. He is VERY cute though!
    How short is he?

  22. Isa says:

    I hate his eyebrows too! Especially in the Devil Wears Prada. I kept staring at them trying to figure out if they filled them in with a waxy pencil and I’m pretty sure they did. Ugh. His face looked like a rubber mask in that movie. I didn’t understand why Anne’s character was interested in him at all.

  23. kitty milk says:

    Lucky Dog!

  24. Susette says:

    @Guilty Pleasures – His official stuff says he’s 5’10”. A friend of mine worked with him a few years ago and said that 5’10” is about right. The description of him being a “tiny short diminutive elf of a man” made me laugh, but he’s really pretty much average height.

  25. craigc says:

    INKS $30 MILLION DEAL?? HE’S NOW HOTTER??
    WHAT A SURPRISE! MONEY = MORE ATTRACTIVE

  26. Bella Mosley says:

    I googled his height and they all say 5’10” which isn’t elflike at all, especially in Hollywood. But who knows if it’s correct.

  27. rerun says:

    there *was* something weird about his face in devil wears prada…i’ve loved him as an actor for a long time and ever time i see that movie i’m puzzled. rest of the time he looks DIVINE. he was on letterman or someone maybe a year ago and acted like he couldn’t be bothered with the whole hollywood thing. i think nicole kidman or naomi watts is his kids’ godmother. they’ve known each other forever. he’s low key, which really peeved letterman and quite frankly, made for a bad interview. he’s sloshed on the edges of hollywood for a while. take the money and run kid.

  28. Jeri says:

    I wasn’t a fan until I started watching the Mentalist, now i am a super fan. He is sexy and has a sense of humor that makes him sexier yet.

  29. Jackie says:

    Simon is sexy, gorgeous and rich.

  30. Crystal says:

    First of all I am a DIEHARD SIMON BAKER FAN!!! Second, you all who think he is ugly is just plain blind. Third, there is NOTHING wrong with his face!! Forth, open your eyes and look at this man, he’s gorgeous. Fifth, he is so sweet, a family man, down to earth. I am very happy for him.

  31. Judy says:

    I first found Simon Baker on ‘The Mentalist’ and I have been addicted to him ever since, especially when I found out what a jewel of a man he is in real life. A very devoted husband and father and the time of man I wish all actors would be to their families. As far as his salary goes….Simon Baker is worth EVERY DIME!!
