It was bound to happen someday. And with the passing of Evan Rachel Wood’s 18th birthday a few days ago, now none of the girls pictured at the top of the site are jailbait anymore. Well… maybe except for Raven Simone. Is she still even jailbait? How old is she anyway? Does anybody even care? I know George Bush doesn’t (oh snap!).
Anyway, with the current state of Lindsay, Hilary and the Olsen twins these days, it’s nice to look back at the full picture and remember how all they used to be back in their prime (actually to be precise, that pic was taken slightly before their prime, in 2003. I think they all hit it around 2004. And then crashed and burned in 2005). And it’s good to know Amanda Bynes and Mandy Moore are still doing okay. Unlike some of their other peers.
So what should i do about that top banner? Replace it? Wait for Vanity Fair to do another teen/tween cover? Make a new one with Stephanie from LazyTown in it? Do nothing at all? I vote for the last option because i’m lazy.
Raven hasn’t been jailbait for a couple of years now. She’s 21 this year.

stupid hilary duff! oh well, then i guess in 17 days, the picture will finally be obsolete. i could have sworn she was already 18. what with stupid pedo joel madden dating her and all.
i hear he’s popping the question on the day she turns 18.

Remove the Olsen twins and Gollum (Duff), and replace them with Chobot and Jessica Alba.

the mandies are the hottest by far

Leave it up for posterity. In my mind, that pic and your site have become entwined.

i concur

I, for one, would like to put forth the idea of a tasteful Emma Watson collage. Perhaps she can be flanked by LazyTown Stephanie and maybe some Hayden thrown in for good measure… Make it happen Justin, you artist!

The entire top banner should be a close-up of Lohan’s exposed nipple from the glory days.

Change is good, but not when it’s forced. You’ll find somethign to replace it with eventually.

Leave it,
But crop a picture of Anne Hathaway’s lips over Linsay Lohan.
That will give it 5 more years. O_o

I say, for fun, try a contest. from your many viewers of who is the next generation of future candidates. like the old pic, the next top 9.
Probably Photoshop a pic with the “Next Gen 9” and have it as the new heading.
Doesn’t hurt to hear from the people on their ideas. In the end, they help make this site last.

I like the contest idea there. If someone can come up with a picture of a similar size and quality, with new jailbait material, then you can consider replacing it. Otherwise, don’t change it to something else because it’s still perfect the way it is.
Is Vanity Fair planning on having another jailbait get together? That would be cool.

“Make a new one with Stephanie from LazyTown in it?”
indubitably.
#16 | Comment by supher — September 10, 2005 @ 1:40 pm
She’s far from jailbait, but I don’t think Alexis Bleidel has peaked yet…
#17 | Comment by al k holik — September 10, 2005 @ 2:50 pm
Everytime I see this banner/picture I always say to myself “Mandy Moore sure has one really long arm”.
#18 | Comment by puzzlehead — September 10, 2005 @ 3:31 pm
#14, the idea of a contest is interesting, but everyone knows that hardcore photo editors use Paint.
I agree that the banner is what I associate with fubar and Justin, so I think it should stay.
If you were to replace it, you should have a picture of Amanda from the really good days like the What A Girl Wants premiere, X-Men 2 premiere, or Matrix Reloaded premiere, Mandy from 2003 Cosmo because her boobies look nice ^_^, Hayden the picture where she’s in the white dress sitting in the car because people seem to like and feel dirty for that, Evan from that series of HQs you posted earlier this year, or maybe it was late last year, where she was wearing the light green tank top (she also looked pretty good in the pictures from Cannes this year), and even though she’s not as young, pretty much any Rachel McAdams pictures will work because everyone thinks she’s cute. If I had to choose dark haired Rachel pics it would be from Wedding Crashers or The Notebook, blonde Rachel would be Mean Girls or from MTV’s TRL. No one really likes the Olsens or Raven Simone, and most have turned on Lohan so they can all go. Finally, I think Aleixs Bledel is only average looking, so she can probably go as well.
Yes, I’ve obviously thought way too much about this. I will either end up with a prize for my idea, or more likely, a visit from the FBI.

Angelbaby layout…
#21 | Comment by smash — September 10, 2005 @ 5:50 pm
Emma should be your new subject, she’s still got 2 1/2 years left!
#22 | Comment by Ryan — September 10, 2005 @ 7:17 pm
Man… Alexis Bledel is the hottest in my opinion, whatever you do, don’t take her off!
#23 | Comment by Bronson — September 10, 2005 @ 9:42 pm
#21 I second that.*
#24 | Comment by kiko — September 10, 2005 @ 10:48 pm
Leave it. It’s your site’s branding at this point.
#25 | Comment by stank — September 11, 2005 @ 12:26 am
Hey if all else fails you can never go wrong with some nice Gundams up there.
#26 | Comment by Crackpot Live — September 11, 2005 @ 1:47 am
i think #12 said it best, that picture has become you…but i want to see what everyone would come up with for in a contest, young as I am around these parts.
#27 | Comment by Big Ben — September 11, 2005 @ 10:31 am
I think you need a new one. You should put up a poll or something. One of all the girls you think should go up there and let us vote/pick 2-3 and Justin pick the rest.
Don’t forget Emily Browning on that list.
#28 | Comment by sammy — September 14, 2005 @ 3:28 pm
if i do change the top pic, i’m probably gonna have to change all the colors on the site too. which i’m not too keen on doing!
maybe SOMEday
