today's celeb jackassery: people hate me because i'm beautiful
Jessica Biel: Being Hot 'Really Is a Problem'

Although Jessica Biel is probably most well known for her beautiful bod and being Justin Timberlake's girlfriend, there is much more to the 27-year-old actress than meets the eye. That's why Biel is so frustrated when she misses out on plum roles that go to Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman because directors find her look to be too modern.

"I just want an opportunity," she states in Allure's June issue. "If you don't like the audition, then don't hire me! But if you don't want to even see me -- that's hurtful." Find out what else Jessica has to say about her looks, marriage, and living life under a microscope.

Is being too good-looking really a problem for an actress?
"Yeah, it really is a problem. I have to be blunt."

On dating a superstar like Justin Timberlake:
"I mean, you love who you love! It's not like you meet somebody one day and say, 'OK, I'm not going to put up with his fame!' or 'Yes, I am going to put up with his celebrity.' You can't choose that. It just happens to you."

1. Maybe she's not getting those roles because..... she can't act her way out of a wet paper sack.
Her "I'm too hot" defense is just her way of protecting her own (admittedly very healthy) ego.

11. that's my view as well
and I'm not too high on Johansson's acting skills, either...Then again Jessica Alba keeps getting fat roles and she's worse than any of the other three...

2. Life's a bitch
I'm sure all those plum roles will fall into Ms. Biel's lap when she's 40, won't they?

:rofl:

4. Damn, she keeps losing out on jobs to all those uggos like Scarlet Johansson
She played a non-modern woman well enough in The Illusionist.

5. She is pretty, but she isn't ALL that.
Scarlett is pretty too. I don't find either one of them overly attractive though. Just pretty. And if you can act, then you get the roles. I don't hear Angelina complaining.

8. She chose some pretty bad examples to make her case - both Portman and
Johansson are better looking and more talented than Biel...

9. Portman, yes.
But Biel/Johansson is a horserace.

13. Getting roles means either being super-hot or a super actress.
Perhaps she's not enough of either one?

16. If only Hollywood would start employing young beautiful actresses
What IS their obsession with average looking women over 45 anyway?

:sarcasm:

19. Maybe she's too expensive to hire...
what with her needing one trailer for herself and another for her massive ego.

22. She was in Blade: Trinity
But, she is most famous for being on the show 7th Heaven for like 10 years... she's pretty, but she's not all that. Certainly no ScarJo or Natalie Portman. I think she grew up in Glastonbury, CT, which also is famous for producing Laura Ingraham.
