paltrow has lizard lips.

I vote #6: Sex em all and let bloggers sort it out.

The reviewer clearly has some issues s/he needs to work though. Yikes.

"lets be more specific paltrow is hot in the stereotypical way which means she would not date a guy that looks like ruffalo, you are welcome to think that ruffalo is hot , but someone that looks like paltrow would not date him, for one thing he is too short, which is fine for more open minded types but not for paltrow look alikes, thus my point"

So now the complainer gets to tell "typically hot women" who they are allowed to be attracted to and date? WTF? People are attracted to many types of people for many reasons, including "typically hot women".

this person needs to get over themselves and possibly get some therapy.

Whenever you read this kind of celebrity trash talk about some actor or sports star, they always say things like "Gweneth Paltrow doesn't deserve love" or "A-Rod is worse than Hitler" or whatever, but they never tell you what everyone's supposed beef is with the celebrity. You're just supposed to know.

If you don't even know what the fuck an "A-Rod" is, Wikipedia can tell you. But finding out why "everyone" supposedly hates him or that actress or whatever is not that easy. You look around on message boards and see various people spewing hateful rants, but they're always about different things, so it's not clear at all what the reason is. There's a lot of contradictory reasons.

The point being, if you're going to dis Gweneth Paltrow you really have to say what your problem is with her. There's so many people on the Internet who say they hate her for reasons you probably don't agree with at all.

@5 Reference any post linked here to understand humanity's unease with Gwyneth Paltrow: http://www.goop.com/journal/

I can't like him since the first role I saw him in was in The Kids Are All Right and I thought he was an absolute scumbag. Unfair? Yes. I can put my feelings aside though and acknowledge the Ruffalovin' of others.
8
Also relevant is last night's Conan where Louis C.K. talked about asking Gwyneth out.
9
I read dlisted religiously, and what Michael K. has taught us is that IRL Gwyneth Paltrow would ALWAYS choose to be the hotter-of-the-two.
10
Paltrow is not a classic beauty. I'd blow Ruffalo in a heartbeat, but really, he's only average looking. They make a nice looking couple.
12
Paltrow has "off beat good looks". Ruffalo has classic "he man" good looks (not my cup of tea but saying he's not hot is just weird). Chris Martin is an order of magnitude less attractive than either of them. Only Leonardo DiCaprio (who basically looks like an embryo) is less attractive than Chris Martin.
13
I am clearly in the minority on this one. Yeah, that Details cover is attractive, but when I looked at multiple photos of Ruffalo on IMDB, I saw a muscled body with kind of a goofy face. Perpetual duck lips, almost. I guess he's hot for Seattle, maybe?
14
Dear everyone who chooses poll option 5: Please forward your personal reasons for doing so to Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.
15
I have never understood why people think Paltrow is pretty or beautiful or hot or whatever. To me she's just skinny and pale and plain, unlike her mother. Ruffalo on the other hand, although he's not the type I usually fall for, is seriously hot and it wouldn't take the whole martini for me to agree to a weekend in a cheap motel with him. Just sayin'.
16
I'm annoyed that I couldn't vote for both Ruffalo being hot AND that Gwyneth Paltrow doesn't deserve love.
17
IT'S GONNA BE A GOOP STORM IN HERE PRETTY QUICK. A GOOPNADO, A GOOPERCOPTER, A GOOPIGATOR
18
Definitely Hot. Like, "In my top 5" hot, when that was a thing... But I'd say that he is in the "quirky hot" category vs. the "stereotypically hot" category. I prefer the former, but YMMV.

Also, I'll acknowledge that in real life, the height thing might be an issue with me (I'm pretty tall for a lady -- shorter-than-me is not a deal-breaker, but it doesn't help). This does not detract from his undeniable hotness.
19
Always funny when you see a group of liberals judging a woman's looks and deciding based on that what she deserves or wants in life.
20
Or a man's for that matter.
21
Am I the only one who thinks Paltrow is completely plain-jane and not "hot" I mean she's "attractive" in a sterile kind of way i that she has a nice body and an unoffensive face, but she's not some great beauty. She's no Selma Heyek.
22
For what it's worth, Belushi DID actually date Carrie Fischer in the late '70s and she was pretty hot then. So the "Fat Ugly Funny Guy/Skinny Hot Girl" archetype has something of a precedence.
23
Misread that... Obviously Princess Leia dated JOHN Belushi, not his horrible brother. Sorry, nobody hot or not in their right mind would date Jim Belushi! My Bad.
24
@19, we're not a "group of liberals", we're a GOOP of Gwyberals.
25
Introverts have an opinion on Mark Ruffalo:

http://www.theonion.com/articles/9-thing…
26
There should be a "Who Cares?" Full stop.
27
@24: Fair enough.
28
@22,

Obviously it does happen in real life, but probably not as often as in crappy romcoms.
29
Apparently no one got the memo that hotness does not equal traditional attractiveness. You don't have to have a symmetrical face to be hot. Hotness is more of an attitude, body language, physique, expression, personality, and all these other highly subjective things. Having classical beauty has nothing to do with hotness. Beauty is its own thing.

I hate Gwenyth Paltrow with the fire of a thousand suns, and it's primarily because I've never seen her do anything I could call "acting". To make matters worse, she won an *oscar* for acting over the much-more-deserving Cate Blachett ("Elizabeth"), Emily Watson ("Hilary and Jackie") and Fernanda Montenegro ("Central Station") and fucking Meryl STREEP, for fuck's sake. Gwenyth can't act her way out of a wet paper bag, and cruises along through Hollywood entirely (I suppose?!) on her bland, boring-as-hell-"pretty" attractiveness. She's a perfect example of an pretty, empty-headed person, and anyone concerned with the advancement of the human race would wish for her to sink immediately into obscurity.

Mark Ruffalo, on the other hand, is a fine-looking human being who is also a terrific actor (see "You Can Count on Me" if you haven't).
31
I find it curious that the commenter would take issue with Ruffalo's height given that many Hollywood actors are really short. It's not just Tom Cruise.
32
@30,

Welcome to the Oscars. The lowest common denominator frequently wins that statuette because competition was too fierce among the real talent. See also: Marisa Tomei.
33
@32 GP should have run to the stage in tears, apologizing for her shitty performance and vowing to have the statuette sliced into fourths, so that actual actresses could receive their due.
34
Oh my goodness you guys, how about the notion that attraction and 'hotness' is subjective, because it is! Sure there is the mainstream, cultural accepted idea of 'hot' but beyond that the notion of 'hotness' is totally up to the perception of the person in question. Gwyneth is the apex of gorgeous to some, and bland/ugly to others.

Also, I am sick of hearing about the idea that some people are 'too hot' for others, remember the whole Lena Dunham thing from the last season of Girls? Everyone has different taste, for goodness sake. Sometime it is taste for the conventionally attractive, sometimes it is not. How tiresome this 'debate' is.
35
I think Mark Ruffalo is one of the hottest men alive, I'd pick him over pretty much anyone else in movies today. But that's just the type I go for. He's MUCH sexier than the dork Gwyneth Paltrow married in real life, so what is this reviewer even talking about? Do all tall skinny blonde women have to go for the same sort of guy? This is all just bullshit. Bah!
36
Everytime I think of Mark Ruffalo, I think of David Meinert. So, if you think Ruffalo is hot, perhaps you should just swing by Lost Lake Cafe and hope for a chance encounter.
37
Every time someone says someone else isn't hot I want to see a list of people they consider hot. Why not just say "not my type" and move on. Just because you don't find someone else attractive doesn't mean they're ugly. Good luck if your idea of beauty is entirely reliant on the physical aspects of a person.
39
When they are ripe and in season, nothing beats a tomato salad, no matter how many times we have made them.

My god. This woman is a monster! You have opened my eyes, sir. Why isn't there a law?
40
mark ruffalo is, for me, about as hot as it gets. i pretty much think everything about him, his posture, his voice, everything, is sexy as hell.
41
@37,

What really gets my goat is when people get *angry* about it. Like, how does it affect you in any way if people think ___ person is sexy but you disagree?
42
@5, it's the hair.

Now, her mother, Blythe Danner, was the very epitome of hotness once upon a time. Then the 80s happened to her. But even then, she apparently never felt the need to prattle on endlessly about how good it is to be rich. She never wrote a cookbook.

I don't hate Ms. Paltrow, and I thought she was very funny in her turn on "Glee". But she has the the kind of glib, un-self-aware sense of entitlement that drives a lot of people batty. As for whether she's too hot or not hot enough to play in a romance with Mark Ruffalo, I deny that the question is answerable or even has meaning.
43
he ain't no djimon hounsou or idris elba . neither is she , so whatevs
44
"Hot" is a completely subjective and individual matter.

Personally, I don't find Ruffalo hot. He's just not my type. I can sorta see why others might find him hot if that's your thing, but he just doesn't do anything for me.

But if you think he's hot, more power to you. Enjoy.
45
Isn't "piling on," whether it's to love or hate someone, a pleasure all by itself? Check out Gawker's incredibly bitchy campaign against GP, which looks much like their foam-at-the-mouth hatred of Jennifer Aniston. Perhaps it's part jealousy, part outrage ("I could act/write/sing better than THAT!"), and partly just the pleasure derived from being mean. See Louis C.K.'s excellent comments on why he hates smart phones. Check out Jennifer Aniston in "Friends with Money" -- an awesome ensemble cast.

Maybe it all goes back to South Park and Cartman singing "Kyle's Mom is a Big Fat Bitch (in the key of B)." Maybe if we actually met Gwyneth Paltrow or Mark Ruffalo in person we'd think they were cool. Or maybe we'd think they're jerks. Who knows.

I don't have any interest in meeting GP because she doesn't do anything for me. Nada. Zip.

Mark Ruffalo, on the other hand.... the dude is sex on skates.
46
mark ruffalo is a scientologist. so he is gross.
47
i'd take Kevin James over Mark Ruffalo any day of the week.
48
"Not hot" has nothing to do with the shlub trope, as I see it. It's more about a general beer-swilling do-nothing sort of "everyman" who has his hot wife long-suffering for all her husband's annoying/disgusting/distant-from-her habits.

He's not a commercial or sitcom sort of person, I don't see any similarities.
49
Is he really a scientologist? Please be wrong, @46! Please be wrong.
50
@43, While I think that Ruffalo is hot, I will gladly concede that he's no Djimon Hounsou or Idris Elba.
51
@30: The Oscar fiasco (Blanchett and Watson were robbed ) is what sparked my beef with the "hip", "estimable" nature of Paltrow's celebrity (World-class actress! [Not really.] Married to a politically active rock musician! [Who cares?] Cookbook author! [Pretension claiming humility.] Hip-hop fan! [White people into black music are neither novel nor special])- not with Paltrow herself. I don't know her so I take pains to separate the person from the persona- but the persona is definitely a ruling class migriane.

@43, 50: I think Ruffalo is quirky hot- hotter when you factor in his considerable talent. But yeah, Hounsou and Elba are banging out of control.
52
The problem with Gwyneth Paltrow is that every third sentence that comes out of her mouth is a humble-brag. Sure, she's pretty, but she's not too hot for Mark Ruffalo.

The fact that Mark Ruffalo is a scientoligist is fucking tragic.
53
They are both attractive people who are Hollywood average.
54
Can't find any evidence of this Scientology claim online...
55
@46 wins. Debate settled.
56
@ 46 Prove it.
57
Just watched Thanks for Sharing. I think Mark Ruffalo is hot. Something about his lips are sexy. Its like they say so much even when he's not talking. Hot Lips.
58
His demeanor is sexy. Yum. So hot I googled him.
59
Mark Ruffalo is an ENVIRONMENTALIST NOT a SCIENTOLOGIST.

Big Difference. I have been following him on Twitter for about a year. Please get your facts straight before you post! As for his hotness, well for me its a no brainier. I'm not usually in to comics, but consider me a convert to Hulkism. Green is the new hot for me. OMG!

Please wait...
