These are photos of Olivia Munn at the Emmys (in green) and at a pre-Emmy party (in purple). The green is particularly bad, right? I feel like the dress isn’t cut properly, it’s much too neon and “LOOK AT ME!” and then there’s the problem with Olivia’s skin. She’s half-Asian, right? And her normal skin color is probably a pale mocha, a light olive complexion. So why does she consistently fake-bake until her skin looks radioactive orange? Fake-bake fail.
Anyway, remember all of the controversy last year when Olivia was hired as a Daily Show “correspondent” and suddenly Jezebel was all “Dude, The Daily Show is sexist for hiring ‘the hot girl who takes off her clothes’ rather than a genuinely funny comedienne”? And Tina Fey stepped up and claimed that women would like and support Olivia if she wasn’t hot, to which I said, “Really?” If Olivia wasn’t “hot” no one would pay attention to her because she wouldn’t exist as a celebrity, the way that unattractive, untalented, annoying famewhores are generally ignored. Being “hot” is all she has going for her, because she certainly isn’t funny. Anyway, Olivia has a new interview in Deadline where she discusses all of the stuff that’s gone down in the past few years. The full piece is here, and here are some highlights:
On Attack of the Show: “You know how people go on and do something and they want to be somewhere else? I didn’t want to be somewhere else. I wanted to be at G4, doing what I was doing, and also be able to pursue acting and other creative outlets. I just wanted to make some other dreams come true. But I treated the audience like they were my friends, and I pushed the limit with my jokes, but I trusted the audience to be smart enough to know that I was joking and to pick up on what I was saying and what my intention was in telling that kind of joke in that particular moment. So whenever I did those things, it was with 100 percent dedication where the intention was to get a laugh. The only thing I look for when I’m doing something is, if I can make the camera guy laugh, or make the stage manager or the people who have been there all day long and they’ve heard it all and they’re super tired — if I can make that person laugh during a scene, that’s when I know I’m doing a good job.”
How she ended up on The Daily Show: “I never auditioned for The Daily Show. I was on an NBC show at the time, but Jon [Stewart] had just seen something of mine from G4 on TV and thought I had a sense of humor and delivery and whatever it was he thought would fit in with The Daily Show. I brought my same enthusiasm and dedication and follow-through that I did on G4 and then to other projects. But it’s not a traditional package, which is why I think it was hard for people in the beginning.”
Her reaction to the backlash: “They said, ‘Oh, she’s the Maxim cover girl,’ which I get. But I’m just like, I’m sorry — you can put yourself in a box, I just refuse to let you put me in one, too. My thing is, forget what my background is. They’re trying to reduce it to, ‘You can’t be on the cover of Maxim and you can’t be pretty and also be smart and funny. You’re only getting by on your looks.’ Tina Fey, who had her book come out recently and they did a 30 Rock episode about my hiring at The Daily Show, and she defends me on her book tour and says if I was overweight and had a mustache on the cover of Maxim, everybody [would be] saying, you go girl! But when I do it… I am who I am and I’m embracing everything that I am, and I’m not going to put on a turtleneck and hide away if I want to be smart and funny. You can be all of those things.”
She thinks she’s not being criticized anymore: “When that happened, [the critics] had pretty much no comment after The Daily Show put out a statement and rallied together behind Jon and behind me. My real question is, are you telling me that you’re smart, funny, and ugly? Because clearly you can’t be pretty, right? I’m guessing that whoever’s criticizing me, you’re saying that you’re smart and funny but you can’t be all of them. And then they’re like, ‘Well, you’re using that.’ No, I’m just being who I am and I’m actually comfortable with my sexuality, and if you put on a push-up bra or put on lip gloss, do not criticize me at all. Because who are you wearing those things for? Unless you’re at home by yourself with your significant other. Who are you out in the world doing that for, who are you trying to impress? So people can not like me, that’s fine. People can not think I’m funny, that’s fine. But when you’re trying to make a statement for women in general — I’m like, you know what? You don’t speak for a lot of women I know, and you don’t speak for me. It’s just you and your narrow minded friends that can all have this opinion. At least preface it with that. Like, ‘Hi — me and my friends are really narrow-minded and we don’t like Olivia.’ Great. But don’t speak on behalf of all women.
[From Movieline]
Was anyone saying that women can’t be funny, smart and pretty all at once? No, we weren’t. That’s just a hacky straw man argument. We were saying that Olivia Munn is not pretty, smart and funny all at once. Sure, she’s “hot”. But she’s also absolutely terrible and unfunny on The Daily Show, and I don’t really think she’s that bright, honestly. Anyone who sleeps with Justin Timberlake and then leaks details of the affair, all while he’s dating Jessica Biel… that’s not “smart”. My point? Olivia kind of sucks as a celebrity, and I look forward to seeing her continue to branch out in failed television shows and movie flops. Anything that keeps her off of The Daily Show.

Apparently if you are pretty, smart and funny you have no fashion sense. Horrible green tent of a dress.
“Don’t speak on behalf of all women”, she says, but then she says this:
“If you put on a push-up bra or put on lip gloss … who are you wearing those things for? Unless you’re at home by yourself with your significant other. Who are you out in the world doing that for, who are you trying to impress?”
Um, speaking for myself AS A WOMAN, I enjoy my sexuality too and yes, I wear lipgloss and push-up bras, but Olivia, I do it for MYSELF. I’ve spoken about it with a lot of the women I know and then feel the same way.
This may be hard for some people to understand, especially Olivia, who seems to regard her sexuality as being for other people, but when I get dressed up and try to look nice and maybe even sexy, it’s for me. We’re so bombarded with images of impossible beauty that it shreds a lot of people’s confidence, and it’s nice to look in the mirror and think, “Well, I may not be Angelina Jolie but I scrub up pretty damn good”. It’s so I can strut out in confidence feeling like I like my appearance.
And I honestly, honestly do not care about getting a reaction from anyone else, male or female, because I’ve spent too much of my life waiting for validation from others. Now I’m an adult and the only validation I need is my own.
So Olivia, thanks but no thanks. Don’t tell me I’m wearing lipgloss for someone else. You might do that, but that’s your business (figuratively and literally).
Don’t speak on behalf of all women.
I like the way she looks AND I also don’t think she’s funny. I also think Elizabeth Banks looks great AND she’s funny. It’s not because you’re hot, Olivia, it’s because many people think you’re not funny.
I also don’t appreciate the fact that whenever women aren’t impressed by a particular female celebrity, it immediately gets stylized into some sort of “cat fight”.
Men don’t like some male celebrities either, and that seems to be ok.
I’m supportive of women who impress me, but I won’t be supportive just because she’s a woman.
And, YES, John Stewart’s DS IS sexist.
Lisa Kudrow, Kristin Wiig, Christina Applegate, Drew Barrymore, Kristin Olsen… I can probably name tons more women who are pretty, smart, and funny. She’s just annoyed that shes only 1 of the 3.
I hate when people say “I’m sorry, but…”
I always take it as they aren’t really sorry, just don’t have the guts to say what they really mean.
Olivia Munn defends herself: “You can be pretty, smart and funny!”
Olivia, my dear…in my opinion you’re none of the three.
Out of that list of talented actresses, only OM has sex with Harvey Weinstein (mallegedly).
And I’m sorry Olivia, but…(lol Dana)
…you’re .5 out of 3. Keep practicing.
I defended her at the time of the Daily Show controversy, mainly because I’ve never found that show funny at all and the hysteria at Munn’s hiring annoyed me more than she ever could.
But she has done nothing at all to warrant even a little fame. She just shows up at every single party and red carpet. I’d rather she did real work and, like, threw it in peoples’ faces.
Oh, and her dress does not fit and her tan is way too deep.
@Lenore: I’m actually on Munn’s side on this. A huge part of feeling good about your looks is knowing that other people agree. There’s nothing wrong with that but it is a simple fact of life.
I have to ask, if you liked your overall look but absolutely everyone else thought it was hideous, would you continue to wear it? I’m guessing no.
Also, do you sit at home alone watching TV in a pushup bra and lipgloss? If not, you are looking for other peoples’ validation.
It’s fine, and your body and sexuality are still your own, but it is impossible to separate your opinion of how you look from everyone elses’ opinions.
Ugh. I have no problem admitting when a woman is pretty, smart and funny. However I just don’t feel after watching Munn on The Daily Show that she fits in any of those categories.
Yes, but humility is a trait that should always go along with pretty, smart and funny. NOT having a certain amount of humility can negate all those other oh so wonderful things you are.
Also, a real star need not point out to others just how bright they are…
Olivia Munn = not so pretty, ain’t that smart, and is not funny at all.
agree with most of you…she’s pretty, but not particularly smart, and DEF not funny.
you want pretty, smart, and funny?
Jane Lynch FTW!
She’s not funny at all & some of the criticism is warranted but I don’t get how people dislike her so much. I knew her work (or lack of) would speak for itself. Look at the shows & movies that she’s starred in flopped but people intensely root for her to fail. It’s very mean because it almost becomes personal. As far as the Daily Show goes, they can hire whoever they want especially if it’s coming from Jon Stewert, himself. There will always be untalented fame chasers but Olivia doesn’t quite rub me the wrong way as much as the others. I guess I know her time is tick’n.
Pretty, smart and funny. Too bad she’s none of those things.
I think the “my sh*t don’t stink” face she has in the 2nd photo down tells us all we need to know. You know she’s the kind of girl who thinks every other woman is her direct rival. Except for Tina Fey, who she’ll name drop until the end of time.
If she came across less as a victim and rampant famewhore (leaking deets of the JT hookup, posing for Maxim, etc.), she’d be a little bit likeable. But she still wouldn’t be funny or smart. Or pretty. There’s more to pretty than spray on tan and a Maxim body.
@lenore
i dont even understand that quote! what is she saying, that we do it just for men?
I hate Olivia Munn, and not like I hate Lindsay, because crackheahd sociopath or not, she sure knows how to entertain. This chick shoudn’t be getting wirtten about. I only clicked this post because Im SO bored and its early otherwise I sure would’ve skipped it. I would even have read a post on KK before this one, and that says a lot.
The Elizabeth Banks example given above is a great one in that she isn’t separated from her comedic peers because she is pretty because she is actually talented as an actress and doesn’t try to exploit her sexuality for additional attention. Yes, one can be theoretically attractive, smart and pretty, but one cannot force those qualities unto oneself, one is described that way if one merits it.
I only know her from the blogs, and everytime she is featured she talks about how she is funny, smart and pretty and that people dont acknowledge her for it. I’ve never seen her crack one single joke. Right now, all I see is a girl who plays victim. yawn, girl needs a better pr stategy. She should convince people by being funny, not saying that she is funny. Doesnt matter how often she says that, it doesnt make it true. I need receipts!
I don’t even find her remotely attractive and her personality seems very blah to me.
I don’t get the Olivia hate. I watch Jon Stewart regularly and she isn’t on it much but when she is she imo she is very funny. I remember when Olivia got her first full package on the show. It had to do with that book, Tiger mom or something where the Asian mom was really strict with her children. Olivia had her mother, Olivia is half Asian, on the show and it was hilarious because Olivia says her mother was just like that. It was funny. I really think the dislike of her doesn’t make any sense…clearly her being very attractive is a problem to people because she has never said a word to offend anyone. I have never seen her stand-up or anything. Jon Stewart a man I love hired for a show I love. Olivia must be funny.
not pretty.
I didn’t really have an opinion about her. I’ve watched a couple of episodes of G4 and she looks slightly awkward, and kind of a dumbass actually. But she seemed innocuous, now i just dislike her. I think the worst part of this interview is that she comes off completely conceited.
But she’s not funny.
that is the MOST unflattering dress. it makes her look pregnant and she clearly is not (unless she is having a lil timberlake baby?). it’s just a horrible cut for her figure.
I get tired of people who frame themselves as the misunderstood victims of the bad bad thinking that the rest of the world indulges in. I have seen O. M. in several things; not too impressed. She’s just mediocre as an actress and I find her comic timing to be lousy, but she’s no worse/better than a lot of folks who get hired. I’m not sure what someone like Tina Fey sees in Olivia; I respect Tina but just don’t see much talent in OM. She is pretty though.
I don’t hate her, but I wouldn’t necessarily call her “smart.”
I get wanting to promote women in comedy, but I’m not sure why she feels she’s the poster child for it (or if Tina’s support was as specific as she thinks, I never thought the female writer 30 Rock episode was about her at all).
Her DS appearances fall very flat for me, as has any talk show appearance I’ve seen her make. Plus her “acting” on that short lived, terrible sitcom was pretty bad too.
I don’t find her all that attractive, but I know others do. It’s not about not appreciating her comedy because she’s “pretty”, but because she’s just not that funny or talented. And on a show like TDS, where everyone else is fantastic, she’s going to get called on it. Sorry, but that’s the way it is. 😀
Omg, she needs to get over herself…. she’s not really that funny… and she’s not all that pretty… she’s average… great body though.
stop talking about how pretty, smart, and funny you are! show us! so far, you’re batting 0 – 3.
She’s not funny. The end
I find this woman to be completely forgettable. Every time I see a photo of her, I have to look at the capture to see who she is. Yawn,
Yeah! You tell them, Olivia! All we ever see are ugly, dumb, unfunny women on TV, like that Tina Fey girl, ew!
@ Liz 9:
“@Lenore: I’m actually on Munn’s side on this. A huge part of feeling good about your looks is knowing that other people agree. There’s nothing wrong with that but it is a simple fact of life.”
It’s SOMETIMES a fact of life for SOME people. (‘Scuse the caps – I’m not yelling, I just don’t know how to do italics for emphasis!) As I said, I had a lot of issues with seeking validation from others when I was younger and I’m past that now.
“I have to ask, if you liked your overall look but absolutely everyone else thought it was hideous, would you continue to wear it? I’m guessing no.”
You don’t see what I wear to the office everyday! 😀 The answer is yes, I do continue to wear things other people think are dumb, hideous, downright unflattering. I continue to wear things that other people openly sneer at, or make jokes at. I’ve had “Did you mug a snooker player for that waistcoat?”, “Are you jaundiced or something?” (of yellow tights), “Jesus Christ, don’t bend down in that, will you?” (of a short skirt worn with leggings underneath). I still wear all those things happily because I bought ’em and I like ’em.
Sometimes a friend will offer a different perspective – literally, as in, that skirt with that blouse makes my arse look square and I didn’t realise because I can’t see my arse from that angle, so maybe I’ll have another look and reconsider. But if I like it and I’m happy in it, I’ll carry on wearing it.
“Also, do you sit at home alone watching TV in a pushup bra and lipgloss? If not, you are looking for other peoples’ validation.”
Did you just not even read what I said earlier?
I’m a grown woman. I’m not looking for anyone’s validation. I don’t need it and I’m past caring – and yes, I wear my sexy underwear even when my S.O. is away and I’m just cleaning up after the cats, because I like how it makes me look, I like how it feels, I paid for it and I’m gonna wear it!
The more you wait for validation from others, the more you give them power over you. If they can make you feel good, they can make you feel bad too, and I’d rather they did neither. I’m happy that I’m happy with how I look.
“It’s fine, and your body and sexuality are still your own, but it is impossible to separate your opinion of how you look from everyone elses’ opinions.”
Depends what you mean by that, exactly. Do other people’s opinions of me affect me? Sure, I guess. I’m not saying I don’t get hurt or flattered by comments. Do I hope to impress my S.O. wearing sexy lingerie? Of course. But do I wear things that I (humbly) think make me look good and feel sexy because I want to have people TELL me I look good? No. Absolutely not.
It’s been a hard-won thing, to have enough confidence to say “screw you” to the world and be happy in my own skin. If I look in the mirror and I like what I see, I’m happy. I don’t then go out waiting for sneaky appraising glances or wolf-whistles, waiting for people to validate me. I’m happy that the fifteen-year-old girl who used to wish she was dead because the other girls picked on her clothes and her hair and her puppy fat, is now an adult free from giving a sh*t what other people think.
And no offence, I don’t need you or Olivia Munn speaking for me and telling me it’s not the case.
Peace and love and have a good day (no, seriously, I hate if this comes across nasty – definitely NOT my intention!) x
Christ on a cracker! This woman is everywhere…..I have never seen her in anything, but she wins the award for try hard of the year. She is trying to make herself happen, but no one is behind her effort except her.
She apparently stole my sister’s ‘special occasion’ striped silk bed sheets and turned them into an ill-fitting dress. My sister will not be pleased.
I agree about her skin. When I saw this post, my first thought was “why on earth does she mess with her skin?” However, I am one of those rare girls who does like Olivia Munn. I like her on Jon Stewart, and I thought her role on “Perfect Couples” was perfect for her. I do find her pretty and funny. Maybe not worthy of the adoration the blind items would have you believe she feels entitled to, but at least interesting.
@Denise: LMAO!! My husband says that all the time… “Christ on a cracker.” The visual it conjures!
After the article on the awesome Anna Faris who actually is attractive, smart and funny, Olivia Munn fails at all 3.
Agree with just about everyone; even though she’s innocuous, she stirs strong feelings because her people struggle and push so hard to make her happen, and the public pushes back; if chicks like this want to make it “happen” why doesn’t she take acting lessons and study the great commedianes to learn how to do it – but that goes to her apparently conceited attitude.
Pretty, smart and funny. Too bad Munn is none of those!
I agree with Taksi, she does sound conceited ugh..
Although I do find her pretty, theres something about her eyes that are not cute…kind of stoned with a hint of ceiling eyes.
I think Jezebel can be too hard on women sometimes that are attractive. I think some of the writers and commenters there act like if a woman is pretty then she has to try twice as hard to prove to them that she can be funny and smart, too. There seems to be a built in defensiveness to an attractive, thin woman. In that sense, I agree with Munn.
BUT…I also think Munn is drinking her own Kool-Aid way too much. Yes, I agree that a woman can be smart, sexy and funny. Absolutely. And perhaps some people are a little reluctant to believe that for whatever reason.
However, that doesn’t mean SHE is all of those things. She is attractive. She may be smart. I don’t know. But I do know from watching her on the Daily Show and whatever sitcom she was on for a half-minute that she is not funny.
oh come on. She’s kind of funny. The Daily show has had worse. I mean they have writers who supplement the comedians material as well, so even the funny ones aren’t as funny as you think.
Remember the show during the writers strike.
I’m a Daily Show devotee, and I actually thought Olivia Munn was funny on the Daily Show. I really didn’t understand the venomous backlash. When I saw her, I thought “kudos to Jon for giving a young comedienne a chance.” I didn’t know about her Maxim cover, etc. I don’t know her work from anywhere else, so I’m only judging from what I saw in the skits, but her delivery is VERY understated, compared with the other somewhat over-the-top comedic actors on the show. I’m thinking part of why she bombed on the show is due to her particular brand of humor being several notches more subdued than the other actors (i.e., you have to pay attention, she doesn’t do the overt facial expressions and head-nodding that Samantha Bee does, etc.) I LOVE the other “correspondents” on the show too, don’t get me wrong. Maybe the Daily Show isn’t the right place for her. I agree that viewers probably didn’t give her a chance and critics attacked her looks immediately when they decided they didn’t accept her as a comedienne. ‘Cuz it’s just easy to do that when you’re looking to be snarky and the pretty girl is the one who’s struggling. Now I’ll go watch her other work and see whether I’m wrong. LOL And at the risk of being a complete party-pooper, I thought the green dress was lovely…
She is a master of marketing herself. She can be funny but it is in this awkward self-aware way that could be endearing if she weren’t so fame thirsty. Damn that green dress! I wore one like that at my friends wedding and it flatters no one.
“You can be pretty, smart and funny!”
You can. But she is not.
My man watches Attack of the Show and knows more about her than I do. He said she’s an idiot and he didnt like her. You have to truly be a gamer and he said you could tell she wasn’t, it was just a job for her.
Yes, you can. Tina Fey, take a bow. Olivia Munn, shut up and sit down.
The problem with Olivia Munn is that as hard as she (they?) is trying to make herself happen, people aren’t into it. I don’t think she’s the most unfunny person I’ve ever seen, but she drags down The Daily Show for me. As for smart, well, I don’t think she’s an idiot. So I guess I’ll give her that. But pretty? Maybe if she demonstrated a better sense of style. Maybe if she wasn’t fake-baked into oblivion. As it is, I can’t get past the fugly clothes and the nuclear tan.
People just are not buying into Olivia Munn. You know who they do buy into? Aubrey Plaza. Elizabeth Banks. Kristen Wiig. Tina Fey. Kat Dennings. Emma Stone. It’s not that we don’t think women can pretty, smart and funny, Olivia, it’s that we don’t think YOU can be those things.
She is right – she just doesnt happen to be all those things.
She’s 0 for 3.
This post perfectly captures my feelings about this situation. As do lots of the comments. Bravo!
Great list, Crimson and Clover! Emma Stone alone is a perfect example. Olivia’s just a whiner who needs to get over herself, and do decent work if she wants people to appreciate her.
Thank you for also mentioning Aubrey Plaza, I love her on Parks & Rec, and did you see her at the Emmys? She looked beautiful!
I actually don’t think she’s all that pretty, either, so I’m a bit confused here.
Yikes! What is this doggerel? If she wants to come off as smart, her manner of speaking sure doesn’t indicate intelligence. I can barely understand what she’s trying to say.
I agree that one should be able to express oneself in many ways, but I don’t think anyone decided that funny women couldn’t be beautiful. The fact is that she put herself on a men’s magazine cover to sell her body, so that men could imagine having sex with her body, not with her sense of humor. It’s her right to do so, but it doesn’t mean I have to think it’s admirable or interesting.
It’s hard to not judge a woman who seeks attention for her body, though I do think we — men and women — should be able to use a beautiful body to help us out in life. But she should understand that it’s very tiring for the rest of us to look at women being valued mainly for their appearance. In fact, the pressure for women to look a certain way is more extreme now than ever. Tina Fey said that twenty years ago, if you weren’t conventionally attractive and a woman, it wasn’t a big deal. You weren’t able to be a model, no, but you could go into any profession that you had talent in, and if you worked hard, you would be valued. Now if you’re an overweight woman with a mustache (which I am, and which can also be attractive — see Frida Kahlo), you are some weird and awful aberration, no matter what kind of work you do. It’s like being a woman is equated with beauty, and to not have the quality of beauty as a woman means you have no value as a person. Munn just contributes to the media’s sexist messages to young girls that their appearance is the main source of their value.
Maybe one day when she’s old and wrinkly and people will discriminate against her for it, she’ll get it.
Olivia has her head in the clouds. When she was on G4 she was the pretty girl because their audience were men who spend all day playing World Of Warcraft and have no lives. Now that she’s trying to break into Hollywood she doesn’t stand a chance. Next to all these Hollywood girls she’s old, saggy looking and just over all not up to par. She’s not funny at all and as far as being smart i doubt it because if you want to be liked so people see your movies and shows a smart person wouldn’t go around talking the way you talk.
Can’t wait till she disappears!
That green dress is awful!
I don’t know about the funny and smart part but pretty she isn’t, and that green dress is really ill fitting.
@Liz, @Lenore, I don’t think dressing “sexy” is for other people at all. Women’s bodies are a miracle of engineering, LOL, and there are certain fabrics and shapes that really make the most of what we’ve got. Frankly, I’m the only person I dress for, and if I feel like admiring my legs in a short skirt, I go for it!
How is it possible to be that orange and greasy?
It’s entirely possible for a woman to be smart, funny, and pretty. It’s just that Olivia Munn is none of those. I saw her just once on the Daily Show and I was stunned by how un-funny she really was. It was back when those Chilean miners were freed, and she was some fake corresponder, whining about something shallow like how she couldn’t watch her shows because all the TV stations were talking about the Chilean miners. Her delivery is awful. And I’ve always felt that those who insist the loudest (in Olivia’s case, that she’s smart or funny) are often the most guilty of behaving otherwise. If you were smart and funny, Olivia, you wouldn’t have to announce it to the world because everyone in the viewing audience would understand that without you pointing it out.
You can tell that Olivia surrounds herself with vapid idiots if she believes she’s an example of a smart, witty woman. I do think she’s beautiful. I also think it’s possible to be smart, funny, and beautiful at once. But Olivia is only one of those.
She’s just as dilusional as Biel
I don’t know if she is smart or funny. I’ve never heard the woman speak but she is not pretty. She looks like man. That body is way too muscular. She has no waist, she is overly tan (and I bake).
I never thought wearing make up at work had anything to do with my sexuality. I thought it had to do with social norms – like them or not. If I wore my 5 inch Valentino stilettos* to work then I would be advertising my so-called sexuality, I guess. I wear them for me. What guy knows if I spent $500 on sexy shoes or not.
*(and I mean 5 inch no platform, those suckers are tall that heel is THIN)
Man, this chick is DELUSIONAL if she thinks she is pretty, smart or funny. Even remotely.
Lenore: I totally got what you are saying. When I dress up nice it’s always for myself … I do it sometimes when I’m home alone … and sometimes I do it out in public. Do I enjoy getting a compliment, yeah of course, but half the time I just like looking in the mirror and thinking something nice about myself.
The world does a hell of a job to try and beat you down in one way or another so yeah when I wear my sexy underwear it almost always for myself to give myself a little boost. Not everything is about other people.
As for Olivia I never judged her for being in Maxim cause up until this post I didn’t know she had been. Every time I saw her in anything I just thought she wasn’t that funny and I could only guess that she had been hired because of her looks.
Well golly, thankfully I don’t wear lip gloss (don’t like the way my crazy hair sticks to it) or a push-up bra (big ol’ gozangas have enough to worry about on their own), so I guess I can insult Olivia Munn enough for the rest of us ladies. You suck and you make zero sense in your ramblings. ‘Nuff said.
Lenore: September 20th, 2011 at 8:45 am
AMEN
Lenore:September 20th, 2011 at 12:02 pm
Ok, I should have posted about this comment (rebuttal?) rather than your initial one.
If I could ‘like’ or ‘promote’ a comment on CB 1000 times over, I would do so for this post. Brilliant.
Get that dress tailored, lady. She is pretty…she reminds me of Minnie Driver. She interviews horribly, though. I’ve seen her on the Daily Show and I’ve only laughed at the spot with her mother. And her mother was the funny one.
Whatever.. She is not even the one.
I’ve asked Olivia for an autograph at some AoTS event. She was nice and v approachable, nothing hateable about her. When she learned I was part Asian like her, she began to swear in my language. She thought that was adorable. I don’t find it offensive, thought it was cool, but it only proved Christopher Hitchen’s point that women aren’t funny and they need to do guy things in order to be funny.
Is she hot? For a Cauc-Asian, she looks very regular. Not fug, but not striking either.
Personally, I think Tina Fey is all 3 of those things (funny, smart, and pretty). Does a woman have to be on the cover of Maxim to be considered pretty in Hollywood?? Plus, I don’t care where you are, Olivia is not funny. And leaking details of sleeping with JT probably didn’t win her any friends and made her look like someone willing to sleep her way to the top. I really hope she didn’t sleep with Jon S. to get on the DS…I would be so disappointed in him.
@Lenore, Right on sister, I bet you look way more beautiful than Angelina Jolie!
You can be smart, funny and pretty. Just not in that dress.
I didn’t see her name in the writing credits for TDS. Does she write or just act?
I’m sorry. I’m still scratching my head at the part where’s she’s supposed to be ‘hot.’ Her body’s pretty nice but nothing to write home about, I don’t find her very attractive in the face and I don’t think she’s funny or smart.
They keep trying to make her happen but she will never happen for me. So much budget and try-hard. I can’t even…ugh!
yep her time is ticking and her career will be over when that soderbergh movie which is a man version of showgirls bombs.
People just get wildly jealous when they see someone who does well and doesn’t limit themselves and doesn’t just sit in a rut their whole life.
Most of the commenters here seem like that.
Just was catching up on my Daily Shows, and wanted to mention how funny Kristen Schaal’s HPV vaccine bit with Jon was. I wasn’t sure about her at first, but have come to really enjoy her segments and delivery. If people want to champion a female on that show, it should be her or Samantha, not the whiny unfunny one.
