Olivia Munn, the hot-button nerd-baiter turned “Daily Show” correspondent, is featured in the newest GQ, and she looks absolutely terrific. People are making fun of the banner picture because she’s making an angry face with her hands in front of her crotch, but I like to think that she’s dancing to Salt-N-Pepa’s “Push It.” At least, that’s what I look like when I dance to “Push It.” With the exposed bra and everything.
Anyway, you can read the article here. It’s barely more than a blurb, but it talks about her ascent from “Attack of the Show!” to “The Daily Show” and NBC’s new sitcom “Perfect Couples,” as well as some of the ire she’s gotten because of it. And frankly, I’m tired of the Olivia Munn backlash. No, she isn’t the hottest woman on the planet, but she’s still very attractive. She may not be the greatest actress, but she’s better than a lot of other actresses who get plenty of work. And yeah, some of her antics on G4 may have been annoying. But she’s a hot girl with a sense of humor who isn’t afraid to wear a Slave Leia costume, and people bitch about her. This is why we can’t have nice things, Internet.
SEXY UPDATE: Because I asked them so nicely, the people at GQ shared some high-resolution images with Warming Glow (thumbnails 3 and 4). To see full size, click the thumbs, then right-click and select “view image.” Photo credit: Alexei Hay/GQ.
Pssst, don’t tell Jezebel, but I think the next image might be Photoshopped…
queefs aren’t funny
I’m done with Munn.
Ugh, sorry for that awful comment above, I’ve been watching “The Simpsons” Season 13 on DVD, and all the crappy puns are seeping into my lexicon now. I’m much funnier when I’m watching Seasons 3 to 10.
Seriously fuck Jezebel- the number of comments left by “womyn” bitching about her Daily show stint is directly proportional the number of cats in apartment of said women and inversely proportional to the number of times they’ve been laid.
That sitcom sounds like the television equivalent of tripe but she’s funny and quick on her feet on G4 and has been fine so far on the daily show.
On one hand, her persistent nerd pandering bothers me to no end. On the other hand… is lotion.
She’s hot and I always thought she was reasonably likable. Then I read her book. I recommend not doing that.
Miss any hackneyed, bitter stereotypes there, Chazz?
I like Olivia Munn. She likes to have fun with her good looks in a way that’s cute yet realistic for all of us non-famous women who actually work out and don’t eat Hot Pockets as a goddamned snack.
Don’t worry Matt, the broads at Jezebel are too concerned with gossiping about their tits to cause you any trouble.
I would gladly take a blumpkin from her severed fucking head. She’s annoying but I guess she can be cool and doesn’t afraid of anything.
Seriously, everybody. Can we please stop the war of the sexes and talk about how great my comment was?
Whatever. I think she’s incredible and it’s better than being a Lindsay Lohan/Megan Fox/Paris Hilton “Like, my role model was like, totally Marilyn Monroe” type of girl. She seems normal for a woman of her hotness.
@Rebecca – can you believe guys like Chazz? I mean really…. here in MY mom’s basement we NEVER generalize about the women we stalk, er, uh date. His parents even let him stay up to watch Leno.
Mmmmm, hot pockets.
@Rebecca- I could probably think of a few more.
@Danger- The real victim here was you, because your comment was superb and it deserved recognition. +1?
Indeed, DG. +1 for lulz (that’s how cats talk, according to the internet).
*does sweet, goofy validation dance*
Meh. She may do something for nerds like you, but for guys like me that have actually touched a girl once, she’s no big deal.
Now if you excuse me, I have a World of Warcraft battle scene to re-enact.
Speaking of doing that dance to “Push It” I believe the chick in “Grandma’s Boy” did the same one….
@Danger – That comment was good but misguided. Because that isn’t lotion in your hand.
*Snickers*
@DG – having a woman in the locker room always f***s up the male bonding dynamics. ‘course I’m too old to go divin in some locker. Well done.
/hope you wiped the lotion off before the dance….
*takes bow, splits pants*
Also, I love when we have ladies in the comments (Rebecca, Patty, Chino, etc.). Otherwise it starts devolving into some sort of Spike show down here.
@DG? Spike show? I have no idea what you’re talking about sir.
/goes back to creating an axe body spray cloud in which to dwell before hitting happy hour.
/fedexes bottle of smirnoff ice to a “bro.”
DG, that comment made me LOL.
It’s too bad you won’t be able to read that comment since you’ve probably gone blind by now.
Oh damn it! I got lotion on my hot-pocket. Wait, what were we talking about?
THGAnkssssd Chginooooooooooooooooo
(That’s not me typing blind. The keys were just sticky.)
Olivia Munn’s only talent is her body. Her Face, Humor, and Acting only appeal to the Spike TV crowd
Even as a woman that reads Jezebel, but avoids the comments/commenters, I agree whole-heartedly with @Rebecca.
DG, typing with one hand is difficult.
I seriously don’t get it with her; kudos to you guys seeing something in her that I don’t, but I see way hotter girls at the mall, and I live in Cincinnati for Chrissakes.
Can we please stop talking about DG’s big Friday night and concentrate on how cat’s talk?
Much more girls are there to be hot than her, she’s looking wild but not so HOT.
If we had COTW, I would nominate the everloving shit out of Varun.
I’m guessing DG ran out of lotion.
I’m trying to decide which accent is the funniest to use when reading Varun’s comment. So far its eastern european- but that’s too obvious right?
Whatever. If I’m looking to bone a geek, give me Lisa Loeb circa 1995.
@CHAZZ_GOODTIMES For me it’s a tossup between Indian or Brazilian. Though Eastern European works as well.
