And who would you describe as pretty? We were chatting about this at work today and I'm interested to see what everyone else thinks. My nominations are Brad Pitt and Cheryl Cole for 'pretty' and Jonny Depp and Penelope Cruz for beautiful. We also got onto the subject of supposedly pretty people who we think aren't - I'd put Victoria beckham in this category - she's vile!!

First ones that come to mind are Halle Berry and denzel Washington, with Johnny Depp in there too. Also love Tyra Bank's face, and Annie Lennox

DOes noone care that Rachel Weisz bought me a saucepan? It was a casserole actually. It makes very good risotto.

Good. Only Penelope Cruz to fend off now and then he's all mine.

I can't stand Annie Lennox so I'm blinded to any beauty she may or may not have

I used to think CZJ was a beauty but something happened when she got married

I will probably be slated for suggesting this, but is she that woman who had the first face transplant?? that chin has an existence of its own.

Pretty men? I've forgotten my fopophilia. Rupert Graves as Freddy Honeychurch. Utterly ravishing.

Tinker · 15/03/2008 00:13

It's Emily Maitlis of course, how could you all not know that???

Is she that newsreader??

her name is Emily Maitlis
she is on Newsnight and stuff and she is like a journalist type who flashes her legs and tits a lot
though in fairness she does have great legs
at least she is still the same age as me, unlike Rachel Weisz who lost a couple of years off her age a few years back

Ooh yes Rupert Graves. And Rupert Everitt in, what was it, Another Country?? Very foppishly pretty.

How old is she? Because I think she looks about...

harpsichordcarrier · 15/03/2008 00:15

god I really fancy Hugh Grant
I have fancied him in everything I have ever seen him in
even that appalling Sirens film
honestly, he could have my pants off in a trice
