British Women Think David Schwimmer Is One Sexy Jew

schwimmer...which elicited a sonorous "Ewwww!" from all the single women in the j. newsroom.

Rachel F. was particularly upset: "I don't care how nice he is! He's just not cute."

He's never done much for me, either � he always seems so needy, like the kind of guy who asks if his hair looks okay twenty times before he can go get a cup of coffee and who has more shoes than you � but compared to the rest of the guys on the list of Jewish celebs that British Jews would most like to date (with the exception of Sacha Baron Cohen), he's a sexpot. Woody Allen?? Paul Kaye?? Yo, ladies across the pond, what are you putting in your tea?

At least the men voted for some hotties, including Rachel Stevens and Caprice Bourret. And it's fabulous that Jewish mothers Gwyneth Paltrow and Rachel Weisz are objects of British male affection, but really fellows, they are married.

Hell, If It Weren't for the Stretchmarks, I'd Consider It

cindyCindy Margolis, the self-proclaimed "Most Downloaded Woman On the Internet" (I'm sure her mother is very proud), has announced her latest gig: posing nude in Playboy at the age of 40.

Whereas displaying her wares in the glossy men's magazine "would have been for gratuitous reasons" in the past, now is the perfect time for Cindy to get nakey: "It will be fun to go up against the 20-year-olds and show them that they don't have anything on me," she said.

She adds: "You're not dead just because you are married and have children." Huzzah, sista.

Now, I'm not a fan of nudie mags or of Cindy's (as I am unclear as to what her actual talents are � celebrity poker and cooking shows aside) but I like her spunk. There aren't many models (would you believe there's a wikipedia entry for Jewish American models?) who can push their career past 21, and any woman with three kids who can work it for Playboy ought to be lauded.

Sure, it's all about airbrushing and good plastic surgery. That's right � Cindy wasn't always the blonde, tiny-nosed bombshell you see before you; she was once just another Jewish girl trying to stand out in L.A.

Personally, I think she was cuter before her nose job, although the eyebrow-scaping is definitely a good call.
