For some weird reason, Adrien Brody decided he wanted to be a sex-symbol, matinee idol, so after winning the oscar for The Pianist, he dumped the character actor roles he was known for and made him what he was and chose stud muffin parts. You’d have a gratuitous shirtless scene or him having an explicit sex scene and all these hard-boiled macho man parts and I kept wondering, does Adrien Brody realize he’s making a fool of himself? I couldn’t take him seriously in Hollywoodland, doing those brooding poses. It was like seeing Urkel doing a Right Said Fred impersonation. It nearly wrecked his career. Thank god he’s back to doing character parts but that shirtless mag cover he just did has me worried that he still hasn’t learned from his mistakes

Barbra Streisand in “Nuts” was a fright. It wasn’t meant to be a sexy movie but the concept that 50 year old Babs is this high class call girl whom men are dying to be with is pretty comical. And Bawba always looked awkward in trying to be sexy, especially when she insists on wearing Donna Karan.
