I really don't know what the big fuss is about. I don't find her particularly gorgeous-in fact I think DD married down And I find her a so-so actress, although I am not in the totally hate her camp either.
My wife actually likes Pamela Anderson. I still think she's hot, but the whole Kid Rock/hepatitis deal is a turn-off.
I thought Tea Leoni looked really good in Family Man. Her boobs looked big for some reason.
And Jessica Alba, who cares if she can't act?
Though I don't think Tea is beautiful by any stretch (but I wouldn't put her in the 'ugly' category, either), she is a good actress and deserves a better rep than she has.
