Well, there was no way the Irish could lose, and they now have Gabriel Byrne as their champion.  He managed to beat his fellow countryman Bono by an impressive forty percent margin.  Bono and his glasses (which I had a devil of a time finding a picture of him without them) will have to console themselves by singing for me in concert in June. Well, not personally for me, but close enough.

I’m sort of digging the international vibe I’ve got going here, so my next challenger is from France.  He was married for a time to Juliet Binoche, and he is quite easy on the eyes, if I do say so myself.

VERSUS

Irish eyes are indeed similing, since Gabriel Byrne managed to win out over our be-kilted Scotsman Ewan MacGregor. However, Mr. Byrne was given an assist by one of his fansites.  But, that just means that Ewan MacGregor fans shouldn’t have been asleep at the wheel.

Let’s make it an all-Irish showdown in honor of St. Patrick’s day, shall we?

Our next contender seems to elicit two reactions from people.  They either think he’s a fantastic musician and a great guy, or they think he’s a douchebag.  There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of in between.

VERSUS

Colin Farrell’s Irish eyes were not enough to pull you away from Ewan and his kilt, although he did put up a bit of a fight with forty-two percent of the vote.

With the impending Irish holiday, I’m sticking with an Irishman in the hopes that it will distract  you from Ewan.

VERSUS

Is this really news? That Shiloh Jolie-Pitt has a short, cropped hairstyle and favors jeans over dresses?

Again I say, rilly?

And who are the idiots claiming that Brad and Angelina are purposely dressing her like a boy to be “politically correct?”

Do any of these people actually have children?

Because if they did, they would know that by age three, most children have distinct likes and dislikes about the clothing that they wear.  Perhaps B&A simply don’t feel like fighting her sartorial choices every time they walk out the damn door just to prove to everyone else she is a girl.  I’ve been in the trenches in the getting dressed wars, and it can be ugly.  Parents have to pick their battles, and as long as the kid is decently covered, all should be considered well.

As for Shiloh’s hair, it looks to be very fine and a short haircut probably gives it a bit more bounce.  Not to mention it’s easier to deal with, especially if she has what is clinically known as a “tender head.”  OK, maybe that’s not the official term, but we all know girls who hated having their hair brushed.

So she is a tomboy? Big deal. 

I happen to think she looks freakin’ adorable.

Jude Law is apparently too much of a lout for you, because he got an embarassingly low vote count of only twenty-one percent.  Either that, or a man in a kilt is too much for you to resist.  But is it just me, or does Ewan’s face look sort of Photoshopped?

Our next contender is someone who was also considered loutish, but then he had a son born with a disability, and the pictures with him and interviews he’s done have truly made my heart melt.  AND he has the soulful Irish eyes thing going for him.

VERSUS

Oh Clive, you came close.  Oh so very close, but lost by nine percentage points in the last few days of voting.

I hereby declare Hugh Laurie a permanent resident of the Celebrity Dad Faceoff Hall of Fame, which is graced by many a man I wouldn’t mind meeting up for drinks.  Uh, if I wasn’t married, of course.

I’m going to carry on with my British theme today, because really, it makes it so much easier when I have a theme of some kind.  Easier for me, anyway.

So today I’m throwing one known cad, and one guy who only recently is rumored to be cad-ish, although I surely hope it was all some sort of misunderstanding.

VERSUS

And for some extra fun, take this quiz: Which hot British actor fits you?

Well, it was a a bit of a squeaker, but Hugh Laurie managed to beat Colin Firth by thirteen percentage points, which is the closest anyone has come so far to knocking him out.

I’ve got another Brit for you today, and I think Mr. Laurie might enter the CDF Hall of Fame if he beats this guy.
