“The frequently body-shamed “Girls” maverick is scientifically better looking than “conventional” beauties Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, Jessica Chastain, and even Jessica Biel.” [HP]
Not sure if this one really tickles our fancy or if it just made us wonder what kind of bizarre combination of education and priorities could compel a working scientist to come up with such a thing, but there is now a scientific way to measure the physical attractiveness of our favorite celebrities.
Dr. Kendra Schmid, assistant professor of biostatistics at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, has devised a formula that measures 29 points on the face, measuring everything from fullness of the lips to the space between the eyes and even nose length. The final score is on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being perfect.
Per the Schmid beauty formula, Lena Dunham is more beautiful than Scarlett Johansson, Taylor Swift, and even Jennifer Lopez. Wrap your heads around that one.
Check the link to see who is regarded as Scientifically Beautiful and who is not (ahem, ahem Steve Buscemi). And just FYI, the average person ranks a respectable 4 on the scale, while the average celebrity is rarely lower than a 6.

I have a simple scale for measuring the attractiveness of Jessica Biel. I would walk further over hot coals to experience her ass than I would any other woman.
Dr. Kendra Schmid is probably fat, homely, and lonely... that's the only explanation to her findings....
Aha! Aha! Aha!!!! NO.
Lena Dunham irritates me, she's not pretty or cute, she actually grosses me out. She looks like she smells and has bad breath.
What do you want to bet that Dr. Kendra Schmid is a plain fatty?
science is WAY wrong this time
well then, FUCK SCIENCE.
"the average person ranks a respectable 4 on the scale" - 4 is below average to me, 6 would be average, 7 cute with some nice features like beautiful hair or eyes or great legs, 8 very pretty with small flaws, 9 gorgeous, 10 does not exist without photoshop.
Lena is 3/10 imo
@Bozz well even though I'm a scientist I will go along with you on that one!
@Bozz She blinded me with SCIENCE!
@lenilovesfeet
The only way you're a 3 is on a scale of 10 where 10 is the lowest. By the way, saw that picture of your little girl and damn that kid has some good genes!
You're sweet, I meant Lena Duhham, not Leni though. Leni would rate herself 6.5/10 on a good day (clear skin, good hair day, weight below 130lbs haha!)
Aww thanks, always makes me smile when people say I have a cute kid.
