We were floored when someone sent in this photo – so much so, that we won’t post her name here (look for it after a few guesses in the comments). She’s had a kid or two, is in her 30s and married to a musician. Best she’s ever looked? It’s possible.

dude, it’s gwyneth paltrow, and it’s a skirt. take a walk outside man. you’ll bump into 10 more attractive girls with 50 percent less cellulite before you cross a street.
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:27 PM
Gwyneth.
she’s going to look smokin’ in the new Iron Man movie. I’m there May 2nd.
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:27 PM
I can’t see the image but I know who it is.

Gwyneth has NEVER looked this good. Looks like she decided to eat more than a bowl of corn flakes per day.
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:32 PM
dude, surf the net for candids and don’t just look at some promotional photo for a movie. she looks every bit like a 35-year-old mother that she is. she’s a shade less ugly than kirsten dunst.
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:32 PM
I didn’t know it was Gwyneth, but a simple right click, then clicking properties told me so.
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:33 PM

I’ve done this joke before but, c’mon, it’s funny.
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:35 PM
I’m new to the homeowner thing, and I’ve been looking for a house for two years now (renting now), and I applied for a home loan. They showed me the options, including the ARM, and it didn’t take me 2 minutes to realize that that was a load of crap and that I wouldn’t be able to afford the payments in a couple of years when the rates went up. Who the hell went for those and didn’t figure out that the payments were going to skyrocket in years? And should these people be allowed to vote? No offense intended.
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:35 PM
The NFL Draft Lottery is an interesting proprosal but teams still tank even in the NBA. If the NFL wants to take anything away from the NBA they should take their salary restrictions on draft picks.
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:36 PM
I thought she was extremely hot in Royal Tenenbaums. I’ve always been a big fan.
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:36 PM
“Who the hell went for those and didn’t figure out that the payments were going to skyrocket in years?” Jay
Wannabe yuppies and gullible poor folks. The yuppies thought their future income would rise with the ARM’s. Gullible poor folks just wanted to own a home.
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:37 PM
Jay, you ask a valid question and I absolutely agree with you. Want to hear something that blew my mind? Out of all of Countrywide’s subprime mortgages that have defaulted so far, 17% never even made a SINGLE payment!!! 1 out of 6 never paid a thing!!!
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:38 PM

April 23rd, 2008 at 3:38 PM
Yeah, KC, I kinda feel bad for the suckers. But screw the people who knew they could only afford a $200,000 home and tried to buy a $400,000 home.

I never thought Paltrow was hot, but it is nice to see she is eating solid foods again. Oh, and Coldplay is a really horrible band.

Sarah Chalke or Gwyneth Paltrow: Who’s hotter?
Discuss amongst yourselves.

April 23rd, 2008 at 3:49 PM
Sarah Chalke – no contest
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:49 PM
Cous-
Not sure what a rick roll is but I have always liked gwyneth and when I found out she can jamn with the man that made back to the future the movie it was, I find her that much hotter.
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:50 PM

This is why I despise 99% of Hollywood.

I’ll go Chalke as well.
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:51 PM
Chalke. She’s come a long way from (yes I know it’s overplayed) jump the shark mainstay (the other Becky from Roseanne) to babe. Good for her.
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:51 PM
Did you guys ever see Proof? That movie sucked.

I like Coldplay. I won’t apologize for this.
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:53 PM
Gonzo, i would say Gwenyth based solely on the Royal Tennenbaums. I can’t stand Sarah Chalke.

What’s next CRM–are you going to name your barber shop quartet The Be Sharps? Sinner.
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:56 PM
@Hef – not even cyber-friends?
I’m sure there are others on here who like Coldplay too, but they’re too scared to say anything. We all have a CD or two that, when a buddy comes across it, makes you say “Uh, wow–how did the wife’s CD get in there? Geez…I hate that band.” The difference is, I admit I like that band.
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:56 PM
You guys and your world of warcraft lingo, I am just so entertained
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:56 PM
ATL, you have lost all credibility.
What would the word be for that… uncredible, incredible, probably not incredible.
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:56 PM
At least CRM didn’t say Pin Pals.
Also, can we get a ruling on the correct Cousins of Ron Mexico acronym? Is it CRM or CoRM or CORM?
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:57 PM
@Roeth – I don’t think that picture is Sarah Chalke. I could be wrong, but she’s not quite that curvaceous/tanned/big-titted.
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:58 PM
That is definitely no Sarah Chalke
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:58 PM
nice pic roeth. Love me some boobies
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:59 PM
If that were Sarah Chalke, I would watch scrubs.
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:59 PM
Benji – I’m flattered to know I had any credibility to begin with. Why is Coldplay so wrong? Seriously – I’m honestly asking. Seems like guys always hate them just because they’re not a macho band. As a musician/songwriter, I appreciate their stuff from a lyrical perspective. Good melodies. Should I just stop now? Probably.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:00 PM
Good God. When did Sarah Chalke get that wicked hot? What the fuck happened??? Good lord. She was always cute, but…sigh.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:00 PM
@atl: Why listen to Coldplay when you could listen to Radiohead. Or, if you want something girlier…Sigur Ros.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:01 PM
Band of Horses is what Coldplay would sound like without the musical sodomy.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:01 PM
I knew that couldn’t be her.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:01 PM
When I was a single man and I had some chick over, I would go with a nice bottle of wine (preferably red) some Coldplay and was almost guaranteed to get laid.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:02 PM
i really don’t think that is Sarah Chalke. if so, that pic is so airbrushed, it shouldn’t really count as her.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:02 PM
I’ve never quite gotten into Radiohead. I appreciate them for their talent, just not something I’m into. I’ve never heard Sigur Ros. Heard of them, just not ever listened to them.
No one has told me why Coldplay sucks so much, yet.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:02 PM
@pki: Using music to get laid doesn’t mean it’s good. Hell, if that were the case, Dave Matthews would be the greatest white musician ever.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:02 PM
Benji, not afraid of Bush tonight. Are you afraid of Hamels? nah, I didn’t think so. Chase and the Babe are on fuckin FIRE. Fire in the Bush tonight.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:03 PM
I saw Band of Horses with Modest Mouse this past summer, one of the three best concerts of my life. Made everybody completely forget about the incredibly shitty weather at an outdoor concert.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:04 PM
Coldplay goes too hard for me. I need me some Michael Buble or Harry Connick Jr.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:05 PM
@Gonzo: Does it make you feel bad that I’m benefiting so much from Utely and Pat the Bat when I don’t even care about the Phillies? I’m becoming a fan real quick though.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:05 PM
Rarely does a Band make as crucial of a jump in quality as BOH did between album 1 and 2… I hated that first one, but love Cease…
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:05 PM
-not creative
-every song is at the same tempo
-no musical substance, only a vapid, soulless track to croon over
-singer likes radiohead WAY too much
-music isn’t about anything
-lyrics aren’t about anything
-music is almost all in the same key
enough?
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:05 PM
That most definitely is not Sarah Chalke but it still doesn’t matter cause she is easily the choice over Paltrow
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:05 PM
@Hef: I don’t know if it was the music, but you don’t change something if it works. Have you ever heard a woman say that they don’t like Coldplay? I think their music would at least “set the mood”.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:07 PM
i have banged many chicks to DAve Mathews music. 2 live crew gets em going though for sure
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:07 PM
Liking Coldplay is fine. If you have a vagina.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:07 PM
ATL, i’m sitting here in my office racking my brain trying to think why Coldplay sucks. and all i could come up with is, they just do. i guess i can’t really explain it. i know Vag Rock when i hear it, and that is Coldplays. I’m not sure what Band of Horses is, but Modest Mouse is a great band.
Gonzo, i’m much more afraid of Dave Bush fucking it up for the Brewers than I am of Cole Hamels. Hamels is an awesome pitcher who i have on my fantasy team. I’m pretty much conceding a loss on this one for the Crew. The bullpen has been overused the last few games, so Bush is going 7 no matter how bad he pitches.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:07 PM
Yeah, I didn’t even know who Band of Horses was walking into the concert. All of the sudden, I’m like “This is fucking good! Who is this again?” Forgot who the other band was. Impressive display.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:08 PM
Sorry, I couldn’t resist adding my favorite Back to the Future reference here. I’ve edited it slightly for Hef’s enjoyment.
Last night, CRM came down from his high horse and told me that if I didn’t refer to him as CoRM more than he’d take my commenting privileges away.

April 23rd, 2008 at 4:09 PM
Spencer – lets not play the music snob card here. I’m not saying they’re the second coming of the fucking Beatles. Just saying I like them. Saying they’re not creative – that’s terribly subjective, unless they steal songs from other people. Most of your other points are all subjective, and you’re more than welcome to your opinion. I’m not trying to push Coldplay on someone. They’re probably not even in my top 50 favorite bands…just saying I like them.
I will concede that a lot of their music is in the same key, though.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:10 PM

April 23rd, 2008 at 4:10 PM
CRM: you like CoRM? instead? Because CoRM is much harder to type and takes at least .001 miliseconds longer.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:10 PM
I like CRM because CoRM makes me think of corn, but then again I kind of like corn on the cobb because its so delicious….
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:10 PM
Gun to my head, I’m going Coldplay over DMB.
Both suck major cock obviously.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:11 PM
Hef, I would surely rather have a last place fantasy team as long as the Phils keep slugging and winning. I hope The Babe and Chase go 1-2 in the MVP voting. This could be the first year The Babe makes the All-Star team.
Benjii, what;’s with the Brewers carrying 14 pitchers? And with 14 pitchers, they are still short handed? That means only 3 bench players. That’s disgusting.

atl…i cant NOT play the music snob card. for the last 8 years ive listened to music with a musician’s ear, and snobbish or not (definitely snobbish), that’s the stuff i notice right off the bat.
as for not being creative? i dont think that’s too subjective. they sound like a 2nd rate knock off of radiohead, from the singer to the ambient instrumentals, only they don’t have the same artistic (ric) flair (WHOOO).
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:12 PM
atlantasportsfan, I think you’re running that grey area of bands you like more than respect (i.e. would defend in public)… I have a ton of bands I respect, but don’t like. Your case is just kinda the opposite.

pretty much concert parking lot is going to be awesome. the reason DMB lots seem like more fun is because its filled with 17-22 year old girls. and 20 square miles is probably larger than the town you live in so easy on the exaggeration.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:13 PM
I’ve got to go with DMB over Coldplay only because at least DMB has more than just a guitar to give some variety (violin and sax).

ATL, i meant no disrespect. just having a healthy argument.
Gonzo, i’m not quite sure why they’re carrying 14 pitchers. they needed to call up another lefty vs. the Cards. Then sheets might is missing a start, maybe 2, so they figured they would need a spot start that wouldn’t go very deep. thus, the extra relievers. Hopefully, Sheets can be back vs the cubs and all will be well again.

Nick: When I was growing up there was no D1 school in my state, so I kinda had to pick and choose. I’m a huge Jayhawks fan, but to tell the truth me liking Michigan is pretty much cause I can’t stand Ohio St. Mostly because I have a couple friends who are huge Buckeye fans and they’re just assholes about it.

@atl…
Wasn’t knocking you. I find it, again, overly pretentious when people make personality decisions based on the type of music people like. You like Coldplay (noth that there’s anything wrong with that).
I just hate coldplay with a passion so I get overly worked up when people talk about them. Music’s music, and it’s a personal choice.

i know her name was Jody Sweetin and she doesnt look half bad now…for a meth addict.
oh and the oldest Tanner sister is SMOKIN these days.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:27 PM
Man I’m just getting attacked on two fronts today. It must be attack a new commenter day. But seriously for some reason other than baseball I’ve always liked college sports more. And I suppose Wisconsin would have been the better choice, since I hate the Gophers too. And Chief Wahoo has nothin on our old school logo actually I have no idea why it was hated as much as it was, somethin about it being very cartoonish or something.

Spence, based on your music responses, I’m pretty sure I would have banged you in college. Although I’m not into pot heads, so we probably would have only done it once or twice.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:30 PM
Spence is gay sportsgal. I thought it was obvious from his posts.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:30 PM
@fetch9:
I thought it was because everyone wanted to change the logo (fighting Sioux) but North Dakota’s biggest donor, who basically controls the College Hockey lease and all of N.Dakota Athletics, is basically a borderline racist and wants to keep the logo and name so everyone’s bitter about it.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:32 PM
Hef…id respond, but it was funny.
sportsgal…youre not into potheads now, but until ive wooed you with some AK-47 while detailing a Bach violin concerto or explaining the historical impact of Marvin Gaye…i dont know how to finish this sentence.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:33 PM
Let your boyfriend do it for you.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:34 PM
Jibble: Yeah that’s definitely part of it. He WAS a racist, cause he’s 6 feet under now, but there’s some type of clause that if the logo gets changed no more money gets donated from his estate and the arena may have to get torn down, and it’s pretty much the nicest hockey arena in the country, so naturally people aren’t happy. I really should know more than I do considering I attend the school.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:34 PM
That last one might have been overkill. Damn. I appreciate Spence because he has a sense of humor. Unlike the rest of the bitches on the TBL Baseball league.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:35 PM
Oh and also Jibble, fun fact: He had a bunch of Nazi memorabilia and celebrated Hitler’s birthday.

April 23rd, 2008 at 4:40 PM
Pki Guy: The Gophers are bitches, end of story. No rationale I know, it’s like how Auburn and Alabama hate eachother. And as far as the number of Native American students, I think it’s not so much the fact that they go here, it’s that they get large amounts of grants and stuff. But I seriously don’t think I’ve seen more than 20-25 Native American students in the 2 years I’ve been here.

April 23rd, 2008 at 4:42 PM
@fetch: I grew up there and I know what you mean. I was just quoting what I read in the Pioneer and Star Trib.
The hockey has been poor lately on both sides so I understand your distaste.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:43 PM
@ Jibble: A lot of people don’t like our team, for various reasons. This year I could give people a pass, since they basically played bush league hockey, if I may borrow a baseball phrase and insert it into hockey talk.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:43 PM
Damn fetch, that’s brutal. How can you hate a team that hasn’t won jack in years. I’m pretty sure the one Final Four that they have even got taken off the books, thank you very much Clem Haskins.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:44 PM
Yeah Minnesota has been pretty awful in most of the major sports.

Interesting thread, this.
musings … Paltrow looks better than ever here … not a fan of Coldplay … had Corn on the Cobb last night, so tasty … Shallow Hal was slightly overrated, and for that matter, all things Jack Black are overrated (except King King was OK) …
April 23rd, 2008 at 5:00 PM
Slightly??? It was easily one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. The brunette was banging though.
April 23rd, 2008 at 5:00 PM

April 23rd, 2008 at 5:02 PM
High Fidelity is the only Jack Black movie that is even watchable.

April 23rd, 2008 at 5:02 PM
Jack Black was great in…what was that movie with the dude from American Pie and Amanda Peet? well, he was funny in that.
Tenacious D may suck 75% of the time, but 25% of the time theyre funny.
April 23rd, 2008 at 5:05 PM
@spence: Saving Silverman. Yes, funny.

Amanda Peet can go one way or the other in my book. Sometimes she looks great, sometimes she just looks mediocre at best.

What was that movie she was in where she showed full frontal? Whole nine yards?

April 23rd, 2008 at 5:17 PM
Oh dear lord. Another TBL Music thread. Let me add my 2 cents.
Coldplay was a good band. Now they aren’t so much. Parachutes was a great great album. A modern classic. Seriously. Put your machismo in the drawer and listen to it if you haven’t before. It was an album that spawned an entire genre of British music for about 5-6 years. And the Radiohead comparisons are very shallow and unwarranted. Other than the fact that both singers sing Falsetto at times, there is no similarity in the two bands’ styles. That’s unfair to both Coldplay and Radiohead. I’ve never understood this comparison.
As for Band of Horses: Great band, but anyone who thinks Cease to Begin is better than Everything All the Time (Album 2 vs Album 1) needs to get their head checked. Cease to Begin is pretty average, while EATT was one of the albums of that year. A key contributor and founder of the band left between albums 1 and 2, and it shows, as the songs aren’t nearly as interesting or good as they are on the first album.
Also, let me jump on the hate Paltrow bandwagon. She’s a freakish looking bird lady (a la Kirsten Dunst) who is pretentious as fuck and consistently badmouths America like a snobbish cunt. Can’t stand her.
April 23rd, 2008 at 5:18 PM
And Jack Black rules all, as does the D.
April 23rd, 2008 at 5:25 PM
I didn;t know it was uncool to like Dave Matthews Band. I learned something today.
April 23rd, 2008 at 5:25 PM
Sean Jean…ive heard Parachutes and saw a lot of similarities between it and radiohead’s more modern output. my comparisons weren’t based on the singers’ occasional falsetto, just the eerie, ambient insturmentals that radiohead had explored majestically on Kid A that had been reduced to a forumlaic endeavor by coldplay.
it has nothing to do with machismo, rather, an objective ear. it probably doesn’t help that i hold radiohead in such high regard, but i just don’t see much musical value in coldplay, not as an active or passive listen. i hear a hook and then 4 minutes of exploiting that hook and basing songs around sappy music.
theyre just not my bag.
April 23rd, 2008 at 5:26 PM
I’ve been in this meeting all day. They brought in lunch. I hate everything right now.
April 23rd, 2008 at 5:29 PM
Yeah, people seem to get bashed for liking DMB at alarming rates, myself included. To each his own.

I still don’t really see the Radiohead comparison though. The subject matter of the two bands’ music is wildy different, radiohead uses all kinds of strange timings and song structures while coldplay is pretty much straightforward contemporary rock with guitars and pianos, etc. I feel like it’s convenient comparison for a lot of people because they were both British bands that made it big in the US and both had dudes who had higher voices, and it just kind of caught on. I just don’t really see it. Comparing Kid A to a Coldplay album is like comparing Frank Zappa to Counting Crows or something. Just two wildly different styles and levels of music.
That being said, I like Parachutes a lot for what it is: A very well done pop rock album. They aren’t trying to rewrite the books on rock like Radiohead. It’s a beautiful album, in my opinion, with really good songwriting and a really fresh sound (at the time). That being said, their past albums have all been regurgitated and watered down versions of that that have gotten more and more uninteresting with each new release.
And yeah, I can understand if they aren’t someone’s bag. Just my two cents.
April 23rd, 2008 at 5:32 PM
Exactly.
April 23rd, 2008 at 5:32 PM
As for DMB: They are wildly talented and a great great band. They just were overexposed with the whole college scene and faced the subsequent backlash. Personally, I’m very tired of them, but that’s just because I’ve heard them too often and seen them live a handful of times. That doesn’t mean I think they suck. They were great.
April 23rd, 2008 at 5:37 PM
Sean Jean…see i do see the parallels between coldplay and radiohead. i view coldplay as radiohead for dummies, and it is partially due to the vocals and LACK of vocal substance. but whatever.
i agree with you 100% on DMB, great assessment. in terms of musicianship, they’re out of this world good. im not the biggest fan of dave matthews himself, but the band is first-rate. im just tired of their stuff, as many are, just from oversaturation.
April 23rd, 2008 at 5:37 PM
DMB used to be really good, IMO. I’m sure like most bands their popularity increased and they felt the need to mass produce albums every couple years, and the overall quality of the music was greatly reduced. the first 3 or 4 albums they did were pretty damn good. Anything after the Dave and Tim album at Luther College is pretty subpar.
April 23rd, 2008 at 5:40 PM
oh, and speaking of Radiohead and their new album…great marketing idea, only wish the music was half as good as their method for selling it.
April 23rd, 2008 at 5:43 PM
You’re high. That new album is amazing.
