The Universal Cynic

I'm the biggest nerd evah, but truthfully, it was bugging me that he hadn't referenced it yet. This is from Simmons' SportsNation chat this aft:

Antar, Thunder Bay, Canada: When the hell are you going to drop the Katie Holmes v. Michelle Williams corollary on us? Seriously, did anyone see this coming? When Dawson's Creek wrapped, Holmes all but had the "America's Sweetheart" title wrapped up in a neat little bow. Michelle Williams was a fringe actor who was two steps away from Cinemax. The whole thing got turned on its head. The former is now an unmarried pregnant Catholic girl, linked to the craziest man in Hollywood. She's not damaged goods -- she's destroyed. The latter bagged Heath Ledger and an Oscar nom. Scoreboard much?

Bill Simmons: (2:00 PM ET ) I've been thinking about this one for awhile... the weird thing is that she's HOTTER than Katie Holmes now. Who would have seen that one coming? it's like Jimmy King turning out to be the best NBA player out of the Fab Five - the odds had to be 1 million to one.
