Olivia Munn covers FHM, talks sex & video games, because that’s all she’s got

Olivia Munn “got” the cover of the new FHM UK. Because that’s who she is, honestly. She’s a model for men’s magazines – that’s her career pinnacle. The photos aren’t sexy to me, but I’d just like to point out how much I hate this photography style that Terry Richardson has really popularized – where women (and sometimes men) are photographed to look like they’re taking a break from shooting a pr0n. Like, the lighting is too harsh and they’re barely clothed and they look like they’re covered in a mist of baby oil. It’s gross and it’s not sexy. I guess I should mention that Olivia is “showing some skin” – but she’s shown more skin in previous men’s magazine shoots, so meh.

As for the interview – I still don’t understand why people like Jon Stewart and Tina Fey are standing up for Olivia’s career. Why Olivia and not, say, Mindy Kaling? Why not someone who can back up their hype with a lot of talent? Tina Fey would say that I’m being sexist, of course, that I’m judging a “pretty girl” too harshly and that sexy girls can be funny. But just read this and tell me if Olivia really seems as vapid and pandering as I think she is:

She’s not exactly the shyest actress in Hollywood. And Olivia Munn certainly needs little reason to cover up her enviable curves. The confident 31-year-old stripped off for a sexy new photo shoot, exposing her tanned back in a very brief pair of denim hotpants. She showed off her incredible figure for the latest issue of FHM Magazine, also stopping to chat in a revealing interview.

Understandably having recently written an infamously graphic novel, she didn’t mince her words when it came to the subject of sex.

‘When it comes to sex, I think anyone’s an idiot to say they’re an expert on it. I mean, I have sex, but it’s individual for each person,’ Olivia divulged. ‘You know, like, guys always have that one f–king ‘move’, some stupid s–t, like putting his thumb in your mouth. And it’s just like, “What are you doing? Who told you this was hot?’

‘I’d love to date a comedian,’ added the star. ‘Stand-up comedians are really smart, brilliant people. To make someone genuinely laugh is a very hard task. If you have that ability, that means that you have empathy, you can feel things in life. And that’s a very attractive quality in somebody. Those guys are smart.’

Clearly a man’s girl, Olivia also admitted: ‘I get so addicted to Videos games. I get really focused in on it and I cannot live the rest of my life. So If I get into any kind of first person shooter game, I’m done and you won’t see me. I’ll skip meetings and stuff to sit in and work on my video games.’

[From The Mail]

“OMG, I play boy-games and I have sex like all the time and I think nerdy guys are so HOT.” And then she bones Justin Timberlake and leaks it to the press. And then she goes to the opening of an envelope. Well, she’s got hustle, and I guess this shtick is working in some corners – Olivia just worked with Steven Soderbergh in Magic Mike, and I’m sure more film roles are coming.

    Meanwhile, she puts her own thumb in her mouth for the photo shoot…

  2. the original bellaluna says:

    Who is she again?

    (Just another H-Weird over-bronzed, under-talented wanna-be who poses half-naked with finger/thumb in mouth but expects to taken seriously as an “ac-tor.” Got it.)

    Still no clue.

    • Original Tiffany says:

      Oh, Bellaluna-I so agree! Plus she isn’t even curvy. No waist. Meh, over it.

      • Elizabeth says:

        I think she is pretty but not extraordinary. And though I am way past 31, I think that’s a bit old for the ingenue/ starlet thing. What else has she got?

    • Cerulean says:

      I know. I know the name but not really anything else. No face recognition for me.
      Ugh with the self tanning to Oompa Loompa.

  3. Sara says:

    I really don’t see how people think she is that pretty; she is average looking to me.

  4. Happy21 says:

    She is not even pretty to me. I have no idea who she even is but everytime I see her in a mag or on here, I’m like ok who is this unattractive girl and why is she even in these magazines? Sure she has a nice figure but that’s it.

  5. Lisa says:

    Never mind what she’s talking about. A shirt that says Howdy? Good lord.

  6. Scarlett says:

    I don’t know who she is. And I don’t feel like Google her.

  7. Scarlet Vixen says:

    Usually she’s a complete butter face to me, but in these photos her body doesn’t even look that hot. In the cover shot with the white shorts her midsection just looks bloated. I’m completely cool with women who are beautiful and talented/funny–I’m not a ‘jealous hater.’ But this girl is an obnoxious talentless poseur who’s only skill is taking her clothes off for every mag that asks her. Ugh.

  8. ShanKat says:

    As long as she has a mouth, she’ll have a job.

  9. ama says:

    You’re doing your blog a disservice by even reporting about her. No one cares about her and she has no aesthetic appeal.

    • Emily says:

      I disagree. She bugs me, but she’s a celebrity that I love to hate. I don’t want to see too much of her around these parts, but I feel like she serves a purpose in the Celebitchy world.

  10. Maureen says:

    It makes me sad because I remember her from “Attack of the Show” and she was genuinely funny and down for anything. There was a time when she gained weight and when teased, said it was because she was obsessed with pie and couldn’t stop eating it. She seemed honest and at least somewhat real then. Now it feels like shtick.

  11. Denise says:

    Yes….vapid fameho’

  12. Sassy says:

    Did you hear me roll my eyes? I can’t even with this chick. Ick.

  13. EBitch says:

    She’s a soggy bodied pumpkin face.

  14. Melissa says:

    She’s wearing Jorts in the last photo Since when are Jorts sexy?

  15. Ari says:

    She annoys me because I am sure this chick doesn’t play any games except with dudes heads. With that said, I am up to level 18 right now in Skyrim and finally getting around to my first stupid dragon soul because I went all around the map doing other crapola while managing to avoid doing all my lower level questing so now I have to kind of backtrack and all I want to do is go home and kill this dragon! lol

  16. Stacia says:

    FHM = Fame Ho Magazine

    She’s trying too hard to do this “Hollywood” thing.. and its just not working out.

  17. MariPily says:

    I like her comedian comment…that seemed on point. But she does seem kind of fake, and like she’s trying too hard. Like the type of girl that has no female friends because, ” Only guys understand me cuz I’m just one of the guys!” I do think she is very pretty, though.

  18. izzyvalentine says:

    She’s 31?! Jesus, she sounds like a 19-year old university girl. “I can play video games too!! Is that hot?”

  19. Isa says:

    I think what offends me the most is that I’m constantly being told she’s pretty and has a great body and I disagree.
    Now Sofia Vergaga (Never can spell her name!) makes me want to punch myself in the face. Or run until I die.

  20. JuliaDoman says:

    Those photos are terrible.

  21. Rux says:

    She’s f’ing sloppy, dirty and the mom jeans suck. I am done.

  22. geekychic says:

    i really don’t find her body incredible, much less her face. i haven’t seen her act, but judging by the press she’s getting, i don’t think that is the most important thing about her.
    but then, i despise blake lively’s “hustle” and i can’t understand what part of her too small dresses, legs, boobs or the fact that we know she’s boned dicaprio and such makes her a great actress,so….

  23. rmd says:

    That last picture is horrible. Why is her head so big and her torso so short? The proportions are really weird -those shorts are the worst thing ever. I don’t care about this girl at all (and like others, really do love pretty, funny women), but she is not a model and is not funny. I love Jon Steward and found her incredibly annoying on that show.

  24. Jolene says:

    I don’t care for her because she seems like a poseur, like she’s not really a geek/nerd/gamer girl. This is coming from a legit geek/nerd/gamer girl.

  25. trh says:

    She’s a stout woman with a thick torso and strong legs… Tell her to put on her overalls, grab a potato rake and meet me in the garden. And no funny business.

  26. Lotr Dork says:

    Since when was THIS considered curvy?!

  27. Munnkey says:

    If she wants to have a career, she needs to be seen. If FHM is going to pay her to be seen, of course she’s going to accept. (Especially after her experience with another magazine, which you can read about if you care to. At least FHM presumably wouldn’t be relentlessly pressuring her to display her naughty bits, like a teenaged boy who won’t take “No” for an answer.) Two things are undeniable:
    1) There are too many photos of this woman in which she appears truly, stunningly, jaw-droppingly beautiful to be canceled out by one FHM shoot. I blame FHM, not Ms. Munn.
    2) She can hold her own on The Daily Show (and would be even better if she got more practice), and not everyone can say that (e.g., Kristen Schaal often flounders). I never saw Ms. Munn on Attack of the Show, but reports indicate that her performance there was consistent this impression. Vapid? I very much doubt it. FHM selects what it will print, much as it sets up the photos; if the subject comes across as vapid, again I blame FHM in this case, because I have other information about the subject.

      THANK YOU for speaking the truth, brother. Olivia is the smartest most beautiful celebrity on earth right now and all these chicks are just fat and ugly and poor and jealous of her! She is also the funniest comedian that ever lived, better than Stewart or Colbert or Carson or Chaplin or anybody else. She’ll start hosting her own comedy show this year and it will be the highest rated show in all tv history! Then she will invent a warp drive because she is smarter than Einstein was! She is the Perfect Woman. The little sausage in my pants gets stiff when this lovely goddess talks about how much she loves the massively multiplayer second person shooter survival horror platform games and how she misses out on life when she is busy working on (?) these games. I also like it when she says she wants to date nerdy gamers even though she actually doesn’t date nerdy gamers. Sometimes I think what little popularity she has comes exclusively from barely sentient slime molds like you and me that naturally gravitate toward anything that flaunts its chestbags and utters the phrase ‘video games’ but then I realize what a silly notion that is!

  28. danielle says:

    I’ll say something nice about Munn for a change. Her face in the bottom picture is the prettiest I’ve seen it – I like that her freckles show.

  29. Jover says:

    Can’t beat shankat’s comment.

  30. Michelle says:

    Omg that last picture is so weird! Her head and arm are bigger than her torso. It is awful!!
