Mick Jagger
Some girls like jocks and others like preppies. We've always been fans of skinny musicians. Singers, drummers, pop idols — we're not picky, as long as they are lean and lanky. Luckily for us, there never seems to be a shortage of undernourished stars. Here are our picks for runt of the litter.

On Bitter Celebrity Custody Battles...Alpha said "To Cybersleuth. What makes Denise Richards any better than Charlie Sheen??? She didn't go to college either. And two minutes after her good friend separated from her husband Denise started dating him. (Bon Jovi) She has obvioulsy made some really far out remarks to slam Sheen of which many could never be proven. She lost her temper at some photographers and threw laptops off a balcony at a theater. They hit two women below. One in her 80's and one in her 90's. Fortunately they were not harmed. There are two sides to every story. "

Alpha said "What on earth is Cybersleuth talking about??? Charlie Sheen has been clean for over ten frickin years for cripes sake. And he is happily married with twins. He's been clean since the late 90's. What year are you living in Cybersleuth??? Get with it."

On Bitter Celebrity Custody Battles...Cybersleuth said "Charlie Sheen and Denise need to suck it up and do what's best for the child they jointly brought into this world. However, since Denise has been and still is the main caregiver of the children (like most moms), her priority is with the children's best care and support, as it should be. Why all the fighting? For custody? No way should Charlie get any custody. He has serious addictive issues that need professional counseling. And, he will likely never get past these issues that make him feel somehow happier. Charlie, it's all a quick fix scheme to bolster your ego and self-esteem that never works in the long run. Has Charlie been to college or developed his brain and emotional boundaries beyond the next eye-candy woman in his life? He doesn't seem like a happy man at all. And what woman in her right frame of mind would marry a man while he's fighting for custody? Who needs the stress of that scenario? Pass."

Cybersleuth said "Katie must not be as together as she sometimes portrays. How she's stayed with him this long is unimaginable. Frankly, Tom Cruise is not what Hollywood is paid to make him look like. He's so NOT handsome and his antics are embarrassing and suspiciously phony. He creeps me out. Suri is a beautiful child but I have my doubts about her paternity. Regardless, I am so through with hearing about how much her clothing costs (enough to feed many hungry people, if these two were the least bit altruistic)and the bratty behaviors she is developing as the little princess complex takes over. She's going to be a mess when she gets older, thinking people are in her life to cater to her every whim. Personally, I can't until the day Katie tells Tom the marriage is over and she's done with him."

On Oprah's Love Couch Confessionals...Cybersleuth said "How does one keep a family of five in a NYC apartment? I can't imagine not being able to go out my back door to walk on the beach or play with the dogs on the grassy lawn. Or, walk to a friends house next door. Do they have a house somewhere else in NY that is not in the city?"

On Oprah's Love Couch Confessionals...
Cybersleuth said "Time away from each other is what's likely needed for Angelina and Brad. Angelina is on the mommy track and Brad is on the making money for his growing family track. Jen is really an instigator of problems in this marriage with her continued texting during his time away from Angelina. Shame on Jen for being a home wrecker. However, it takes two to play that game and Brad is just as guilty for becoming further involved with Jen, even if she's just a friend. We all know how those kinds of relationships develop. Brad needs to do some soul searching and growing up. Angelina is strong enough to survive on her own and I hope she gets involved in the Foster Parenting Program in her state. She could be a great spokesperson once she sets her mind to it. And Angelina, eat a hamburger, girl. If you are too thin and wasting away yourself, those kids will suffer, too. A healthy, happy mommy is so much better than an emaciated, stressed out mommy. Let Brad go if he needs to. You can't hold on to someone who's intent on self destruction. "

Cybersleuth said "Angelina is a strong-willed woman who knows what she wants and goes after it, regardless of the repercussions to her marriage partner. I don't see a happy. long marriage for them but then, she doesn't really need Brad as she is totally capable of surviving on her own. Brad, on the other hand, seems to be stressed out from all the mayhem in his life. For refusing to put his foot down and demand limiting their family size, there will be more children to come. I see Angeline involved in the Foster Parenting Program, which would be wonderful, if she can provide adequately for each child. Let Brad go. Jen is not the best person for him, either but more soul searching is in the future for Brad. He's bound to Angelina through their natural children and that will never change."

Zac Effron can barely act lit alone be on this list with some of the best musicians of our time. Please he is a token on the list and not a very good one.

Zac Effron isn't a musician. He is an actor who happens to sing (sort of well) in a musical that is famous. He doesn't make music for a living, and therefore shouldn't be on a list of skinny musicians. IMHO. Otherwise, great list.
