Today, Nerve published a list of the 20 Sexiest Ugly People, a group whose homeliness in no way precludes their hotness. Huh? You know, like Woody Allen. Ooooh. They promised to follow up with the other side of the contrarian coin, but we thought we’d get a jump on things with the following list of people that are technically good-looking, but for various reasons, completely repulsive.
1. Zac Efron – We suspect that Disney engineers designed him using an algorithm based on teen- and tween-age girls’ sweat glands. Good-looking, definitely, but we most certainly do not want a piece of that.
2. The entire U.S. Men’s Olympic Swimming team – Man, these guys always looked so hot, glistening poolside. Until they opened their mouths.
3. Jessica Biel – This actress’s main talent is wearing clothes that make her butt look good and complaining about not being taken seriously. We think her butt will win an acting award before she does.
4. Tom Cruise – America used to be nuts for this golden boy. From Top Gun to Mission Impossible, he could do no wrong. Then, in the span of a few months, he went crazy on Oprah, called a Today Show host “glib,” started dating the half-his-age Katie Holmes… and yeah, we lost that loving feeling. He still looks good, but we can’t get past his obnoxious personality.
5. Speidi – Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag aren’t bad-looking, per se. If you catch Spencer on a day when he’s shaved, he’s actually kind of cute. And under all that silicon, so is Heidi. Too bad they bring out the ugliest in each other.
6. Julie Andrews – She’s aged remarkably well. But we wouldn’t call her sexy — even circa Mary Poppins.
7. Jessica Simpson – And no, not because she got “fat.” We’ve just never found her half as comely as her father Joe seems to.
OK, so we’re still a little shy of Nerve’s 20. Help us out and chime in with your own nominations in the comments.

Anne Hathaway!
Kirsten Bell!
Ryan Seacrest, Julia Roberts, Justin Timberlake
I'm down with Ryan Seacrest, but Jessica Simpson and Biel? C'mon!!!
@cindy Kristen Bell is sexy. I nominate Brad Pitt. He leaves me cold. Also: Natalie Portman.
@caroline Kristen Bell is sexy: seconded. Also fond of Natalie Portman (cf. Natalie Portman Gangsta Rap and Zach Galfianakis' Between Two Ferns). My wife claims Chris Pine is good looking but she's not interested, and my vote goes for Fergie.
Jessica Alba, Matt Damon
Is it too late (speaking in terms of decades) to nominate Loni Anderson?
Miss California USA, Kate Jackson (when she was an angel) and of course Kelly Ripa. For men, I'd have to go with Rick Schroder, and Michael J. Fox. Not sure why I went with them, maybe because I always thought they were cute, but not sexy.
People who I think are good looking and sexy: Jared Leto, and Angelina Jolie hands down
McDreamy from Greys Anatomy (don't know his real name and don't care) – John Corbett – and for some reason Matthew McConighey (sp) skeeves me out!
…hit the nail on the head with those nominations!
Tom Cruise is the epitome. Sooo not sexy. I can't visualize him sexually with anyone– man, woman, even his own wife. He must look like plastic Ken doll naked.
Madonna– pretty, but she always seems to be thinking "Here's me trying to be sexy!" Her book "Sex" was about as sexy as a dishwasher repair manual.
jennifer aniston. so-not-sexy. ditto aishwarya rai. decent looking until they open their mouths, act sexy, or just act at all.
