I believe that she doesn't realize, because it hasn't penetrated her ego, that she has benefited from a pernicious trend in the Hollywood milieu - "defining prettiness down."

That has to be it because her looks just does not cut the Hollywood PR around her. Any of the so-called super models blow her away in the looks category. And Roberts has a coarseness about her that detracts even more from what little beauty she has. Perhaps as America has become a more coarse crude culture Roberts perfectly reflects this trend. A lady she is not.

Roger that. The best is, model looks plus heart. IMO someone like Roberts should be, at best, a character actress - maybe she could be the maid if there's ever a remake of "The Brady Bunch."
