Sex Appeal and Hollywood

Who doesn’t like movie stars. They are famous, they are good looking and more importantly we all want to have sex with them. Now there are a few character actors like Linda Hunt , Wilford Brimley or that one desperate housewife that we could pass on but for the most part Hollywood is all about looking good and personal branding. You have to ask yourself, Why are some movie stars famous? What makes them likable to the public?

To answer that you have to ask that simple question; Would you have sex with them? Take Anna Nicole Smith. If she wasn’t a Playboy playmate at one time with her nice curves and big breasts could she be famous? Her acting ability is nil ( Have you seen Skyscraper? Droning through her lines like someone with Down’s Syndrome. If half of the cast didn’t have her naked and bent over the set through half the movie I wouldn’t have even have watched it…twice!!) And yet she is famous. Why? because she plays to the male urges of sex. She is very sexual and the fact that she nailed a 98 year old oil barron gave average Joe’s a inkling of hope that maybe she would want to sleep with them as well. Of course she branded the fact she was a moron as well as sexual from her show that was on E! .

On the female end you have Arnold schwarzenegger. A face only an Austrian mother could love. An acting career that is a study in novelty rather than serious theater BUT he is built like a russian tank and gives off the gentle giant feel. Now that he is in power he is all that more attractive to women now. He branded himself into the Kennedy family and a state governorship, how good is that?? He branded off the fact numerous women wanted to have sex with him and guys wanted to emulate him to get that result as well.

There are so many examples in Hollywood of this it isn’t funny. Hollywood stars know the average person want to have sex with their stars. How cool would it be for a person to get the chance to have sex with Nikki Cox or any one of the other desperate housewives or any of the cast of Freinds. Why do you think “personal” sex tapes get released. Paris Hilton, Chyna, and the very lame stunt by Fred Durst. All attempts to get back into the public eye. There is even an Eve sex tape as well as a Collin Farrell one. But that wasn’t for Colin that was for the hottie Nicole Nerian I’m sure. Career in a slump, nail a famous person on cam and let it leak out onto the Web.

The basic equation is this; Hollywood = Sex. And stars brand toward that all the time.
