    Why are there only young girls on that top-40 list? Where’s Naoami Watts and Penelope Cruz, to name a few?

    Yeah, that list makes me feel awfully old. I’ve barely heard of half the girls on it.

    I didn’t know most of those girls either.

    The Twilight girl really made me shudder though. Awful.

    I’m going to guess that Ebert gives Funny People 3 1/2 or 4 stars.

    That Premiere list gets a big Fail from me for not having Charlize Theron #1 although they do get points for not making it a 40 page slideshow.
