I think the Olson twins would smell bad too.
Chuck on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 10:04 am
Tom Sizemore
Avril Lavigne
Rona on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 10:18 am
Orlando Bloom
freakgirl on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 10:19 am
Yes! to all of you!
Maggie on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 10:26 am
Oh, that’s funny. From now on while I’m watching tv or movies, I’ll be mentally adding to the list.
Kandis on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 10:41 am
No Colin Farrell? He tops my list. But good call on Sevigny. She probably smells like Vincent Gallo. Oh ick. Now I just grossed myself out.
freakgirl on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 10:44 am
Colin probably smells like Guinness and cigarettes.
In other words, HEAVEN.
Bluebunny on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 10:44 am
Without a doubt Courtney Love
Camille on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 10:51 am
For some reason, I think John Mayer probably smells bad. And Christina Aguilera… but I think she would just smell like really, really heavy perfume. So maybe that doesn’t count.
freakgirl on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 10:53 am
John Mayer probably smells like patchouli, armpits, and earnest sensitivity.
Chuck on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 10:57 am
Courtney Love probably smells like a combo of sulfur, gin, and old cottage cheese.
Megan on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 11:07 am
They talked about this on the radio the other day and someone mentioned how bad Jessica Simpson smells. My theory is that she’s so damn lazy on her “off” time, it’s probably true.
sandra on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 11:08 am
without a doubt:
PETER DOHERTY
John on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 11:10 am
Thank you for going where most of us fear to tread. The list is dead-on accurate, but it’s like that song you hear on the radio that you can’t get off your mind… I suspect I’ll have a hard time thinking of anything else.
krup on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 11:44 am
Ethan Hawke. Definitely Stinky.
Chuck on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 11:52 am
Ooooh, good one. I’m a fan, but yes, The Hawke most definitely stinks.
Chuck on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 11:52 am
Harry Dean Stanton
Michael on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 12:37 pm
I hate to state the obvious, but Whitney. Smoke and gorgonzola with a topnote of musty wig.
And while I’m sure you’re right that McConaughey stinks, I’d line up to smell his pits.
Jen in OH! on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 12:47 pm
I’ve always figured McConaughey would smell like pot, which would not be a problem for me.
How many rungs down the “celebrity” ladder are we going? I don’t know if this counts, but that kid Theo from the MTV shows looks to me as though he’d smell like dirt and stale socks.
freakgirl on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 12:56 pm
Oh SNAP, Jen, you are so right! He looks like the missing link.
And Michael, “musty wig” is so fucking funny.
chuck on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 1:29 pm
I won’t be so obvious as to say Anna Nicole, so I’ll say anyone that’s ever been within 10 feet of Anna Nicole.
freakgirl on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 1:39 pm
Ha! Poor Anna Nicole.
I must say, though, that my whole worldview was turned upside-down when Becky Buckwild said that Flavor Flav always smells really good.
rebecca on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 2:35 pm
Brad Pitt is rumored to be particularly smelly.
chuck on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 2:57 pm
Michael Stipe is smelly - I was muscled up next to him at a bar in college one night and had to excuse myself. Baaaaaaaad B.O. I’m sure he was all anti deoderant and probably rubbed a crystal under his armpits, but really.
emily on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 3:18 pm
HAHAHAHAHAHH, chuck.
Agreed with Colin Farrell topping my list, as he looks like has hasn’t showered since the 80s.
But another one on my list, though she’s been off the scene and I love her, is Faruza Balk.
Greater Czarina on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 3:45 pm
Winona Ryder. Unless she’s recently shoplifted some Degree.
Soosan on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 3:52 pm
What about nice smelling celebs?
I think Kate Winslet would top the list. That girl is just classy! (And I saw her at the Toronto Film Fest!)
As for smelly…
FABIO
Kyla on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 3:52 pm
I humbly submit Andy Dick. I’m not sure what coke-fueled mania smells like, but he’d definitely be the poster child.
Julie on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 4:54 pm
my picks
Brandon Davis (though not really a celebrity so much)
Tara Reid
Micha Barton
The entire cast of Lost
Soosan on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 4:57 pm
hmmm… Lindsay Lohan must reek too.
Max on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 5:12 pm
Great lists! I think this sort of thing all the time, about both celebs and people I see in real life. Glad I’m not crazy. Um, right?
freakgirl on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 5:33 pm
“The entire cast of Lost”
So funny.
Yeah, Max, we’re not crazy.
Laroo on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 6:34 pm
Benicio Del Toro
Mickey Rourke
Michael on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 7:13 pm
Mickey Rourke! I imagine when you hang out with him, at first you keep looking around for what’s causing that whiff of decay, until you finally realize.
Snagging one from the headlines, can you imagine the smell that comes off Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert? I’m guessing some permutation of butt.
freakgirl on Thursday, October 05, 2006 at 7:26 pm
Shannon B on Friday, October 06, 2006 at 3:16 pm
I’m going with Leonard Decaprio. I bet he’s pretty funkdafied.
Lauren on Friday, October 06, 2006 at 4:21 pm
A day later…
I was in an elevator with Dee Snyder a few years ago and was surprised that he smelled really good!
KellyLove on Friday, October 06, 2006 at 4:32 pm
I would have thought Flavor Flav was a stinky one too.
I imagine that Tony Soprano (in character, not James Gandolfini) might smell like deli meats and English Leather.
I don’t know why everyone is all over Anna Nicole! I always thought she’d smell like sugar donuts. Or cake frosting.
freakgirl on Friday, October 06, 2006 at 10:26 pm
KellyLove makes a good point. Anna Nicole probably smells like cupcakes and TrimSpa.
Soosan on Saturday, October 07, 2006 at 7:39 pm
Cupcakes with Trimspa sprinkles
