In this month’s issue of Elle magazine, People.com reports that Jessica Biel opens up about the struggles of being hot in today’s Hollywood. Gag me.

In the article, Jessica says, “Parts that I want aren’t going to me. Like “The Other Boleyn Girl” with Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman. I don’t want to say there’s nothing I love that I can’t have. But there’s still the occasional script that the director doesn’t want to see you for. They want that top tier of girls.”

Biel was named “Sexiest Woman Alive” by Esquire magazine and said, “I thought the Esquire cover was going to be really positive for my career. But it wasn’t, really. [One director told me] ‘I’m not looking for the sexiest woman; I’m looking for the girl next door.’”

Here is the photograph that appears next to the new Elle article. Is it just me, or does this scream contradiction?

I really feel for you, Jess. You’re more than just the pretty face and killer body everyone associates with you as an actress. By the way, here she is, not exploiting her sexiness. And here she is again. And again.

You need to realize that not only is it possible to be sexy and have a respected career as an actress, but that it’s completely obnoxious to talk about just how sexy you are and complain about it at the same time. You’re the one posing for these pictures! Don’t blame other young actresses like Scarlett and Natalie – they are sex symbols, too. Maybe it’s your agents and publicists who aren’t getting you the roles you want, and maybe when it comes down to the auditions that you get, you need to make sure your acting skills are top-knotch before making excuses. Obviously actresses like Charlize Theron could handle parts that required acting over looks.

I’m not same-sex oriented, but Jessica Biel is smoking. There’s no denying it. Apparently she’s not denying it, either. But you know what would make her even sexier? Being humble and appreciative of everything that comes with her lavish, million-dollar, coverpage career.

But, Jessica…I have to ask. Do you really want to go back to this?

Yeah. I didn’t think so.
