There are a lot of Spanish actresses who run rings around her - Maribel Verdu, Belen Rueda, Silvia Abascal & Blanca Portillo to name just a few. Blame the stupidity of not dubbing in to English. She who moves to Hollywood & sleeps with the most famous gringos wins.

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> I was appalled at some of the pictures, especially the 90s ones. The use of airbrush to make people look skinnier is so horrifying. The women look unnaturally skinny in some pics. Pay special attention to Sarah Jessica in the 1995 issue. Ack talk about giving women complexes.

how can you watch Banditas and not love Penelope Cruz. I would kill to be the meat between the Cruz/Hyack love sandwich

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> It's sad that Penelope Cruz, an internationally known and respected actress, gets lumped in with a bunch of pretty faced Hollywood losers. Apparently you aren't famous until some corn chip munching rube from Nebraska knows who you're sleeping with.

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> We could play the Six-Degrees-of-Separation with Penelope Cruz and Chris Klein ... The common denominator in all of that mess being Major Tom (Cruise). Who knew where it would all end up?!

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> @sundaeg1rl: She's sort of pretty, until she shows her teeth. They look like they're trying to escape her head.

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> Okay, here's something I've been wondering for years: is anyone else as deeply disturbed as I am by Selma Blair's hairline?

You can't see it when she's wearing bangs, but when it's long/pulled back, it looks like her hair is advancing on her forehead from both sides like the Allied and Russian armies converging on Berlin. It would seem that, in giving Christina Ricci extra forehead, the hairline gods took an equal amount away from Selma to keep the universe in balance.

Seriously, is it just me?

She lost me back in 2000 when she put in an utterly charmless guest appearance on the Daily Show, so I suppose I'm biased.

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> I may be wrong, but didn't Brewster come out in a movie where she was in love with Faith from "Buffy"?

Jaguares

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> Oh, to be the 13-year-old boy in the movie theater during "She's All That" and having to sit through all the Paul Walker shirtlessness without embarrassing yourself. Of course, seeing "She's All That" in the theater was probably embarrassing enough.

I remember Jordana from ATWT too, but she'll always be the bitchy girl in "The Faculty" to me.

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> Hollywood, if you're listening, the conclusion here is: Kill Blair. Replace her with Brewster. Thanks much!

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> Selma Blair is like Paris Hilton without the family money, famous for being famous (but is she REALLY famous?). She really must have something on Graydon Carter, because she is ubiquitous in that magazine and invisible everywhere else. I gossip blog for a living and trust me, Jessica Simpson's dog gets more coverage.

Jordana Brewster is both startlingly beautiful and a pretty damn good comedienne, and why she hasn't had a nice romcom breakthrough is beyond me. D.E.B.S. doesn't really count.

raincoaster

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> @CrankYank: I think it's because Paul Walker is "not right." @brechtgirl: Yeah, Cruz came with stats. Although I do remember Brewster as Hal's daughter on As the World Turns. She was very good. Still don't know who Shelton and Wynter are...

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> Jordana Brewster will always be the prissy JAP who irons her hair straight in NBC's "The 60s" miniseries. Much in the same way Selma Blair will be Zoe from the Dubba-dubba-WB's "Zoe, Duncan, Jack, and Jane"... hey, wasn't that show supposed to make her a star?

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> @capncalamity: Yep, the greek system existed, albeit in small numbers. Actually, crazy underground NYU frat party soon to be seen on upcoming episode of "Under the Arch." At this point half of these people are reduced to starring in it.

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> I never got the appeal of Selma Blair. She's too skinny, skinny.

pumpkinsoup

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> Penelope is the only "star" on there, Selma the only one who really gets a lot of better work.

It's really too bad about Jordana.

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> I just read Selma Blair is playing Kim in a US Kath & Kim show (Australian original is hilarious). WTF were they thinking casting her. I predict a lead balloon.

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> Hasn't Mena Suvari been a "star of tomorrow" since American Beauty? Without ever fulfilling this promise?

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> @jupiterspaw: "Fraternity guys from NYU?" I matriculated there and can recall no one who would admit they were in a fraternity...it was refreshing, actually!

CapnCalamity

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> @Benovite: She was also Wendy in The Sandlot! And Sin City, Bubble Boy, and for this thing, Sugar & Spice probably was the film they were thinking. Remember, the one with cheerleading bankrobbers? They had to rob a bank because she (Diane) got knocked up by her boyfriend (Jack).

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> Two of these women married fraternity guys from NYU - I don't know if that makes things better or worse.

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> Lots of Selma Blair and Jordanna Brewster love. Can't forget Wes Bentley though. Sucks that after Marky Mark dumped Jordanna Brewster because she was too smart she really didn't get many other roles.

aspiringexpatriate

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> I think Marley Shelton was the doctor with the hypodermic needle fetish in Grindhouse's Planet Terror; Josh Brolin's characters wife.

If that makes any sense..

Benovite

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> @secretagentman: she's wendy peppercorn!

Also, Brewster was cast in Angelina Jolie role in the Mr. And Mrs. Smith pilot. When I mentioned it to my friends they all said "who?" and all I could come up with was "Fast and the Furious?" and I was at a loss as to why I knew who she was. Thank you, vanity fair.

brechtgirl

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> @jasonelias: Yeah, Penelope was a bona fide star in Spain acting in award winning films, the others, not so much.

As for being older, Sarah Wynter, Paul Walker and Selma Blair are older (granted only a year or two) and Marley Shelton the same year.

brechtgirl

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> @jasonelias: Agreed. And why, amongst all those sexy pouts, is Paul Walker is channeling Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farms?

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> Paul Walker is doing Fast & Furious 4. Seriously. NBC thinks Selma Blair can be funny, ruining Kath & Kim. Sarah was on 24, but I really have no idea who Marley is? This is the best/worst Vanity Fair photospread since Gretchen Mol. Ellen Page better run for her fricken life!

Benovite

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> Question is what was Penelope Cruz doing with that pack of mostly mediocre people anyway. Wasn't she always a bit better than all of them? I know she's older at least..

jasonelias

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> I would still do an assortment of dirty things with Paul Walker.

And, as long as she sticks with Almodovar, Cruz is cool with me.

Victor Ward

]]> <![CDATA[Revisting Vanity Fair's Doomed Class Of 2000]]> And just three years later, Cruz was featured on VF's "Legends" cover.

I can't believe we ever let Tom Cruise have that much power.
