Q: Who really is the fairest one of all? — Donald, Lake Placid, NY
A: Does the All-Knowing Fantasy-Question-Answering Oracle look like a magic mirror to you? Do I? Do I?!
Nonetheless, I will deign to answer this question:
For women, the fairest of them all is, of course, Snow White — although when Snow White has a “bad hair” day, the title shifts to Angelina Jolie.
For men, the fairest of them all is Star Trek hottie Chris Pine, but only because the entire cast of Supernatural was recently disqualified due to an unfortunate set-wide outbreak of nose hair. The Oracle suspects it has something to do with the cold Canadian climate, where the show is filmed.
The “official” fairest of the them all
Q: With the hype machine gearing up for the release of Tron Legacy (the Tron sequel) and with Jeff Bridges being hotter than ever as a result of last Sunday’s Oscar win, is there any chance they’ll now do a Starman sequel? — Mary, Monterrey, CA
A: There is an ongoing internet campaign for a sequel to the movie, about the romance between a lonely woman (Karen Allen) and an alien who takes the form of her dead husband (Jeff Bridges), but nothing official has yet been announced.
The once and future Starman
Incidentally, The Oracle is convinced that the reason why Tron Legacy is a “sequel” and not a “remake” is the continuing hipster cred of the Big Lebowski himself, Jeff Bridges (the original star of Tron).
This says to The Oracle that if Tron Legacy is successful, a Starman sequel is a very definite possibility — and it’s more likely to be a sequel, so they’ll be a part for Bridges, and not merely a remake.
Q: I know wizards have “familiars,” or faithful animal companions who do their masters’ bidding in magic and other things. I have a cat, Whitepaws, to whom I am particularly close. Am I wrong to think of him as a familiar? — Marcia, Houston, TX
A: Yes. Whitepaws is not your familiar.
However, you’re not entirely wrong, in that there is a being in your household with a familiar. It’s just not you — it’s Whitepaws. A familiar does its master’s bidding, right? Face it: you are Whitepaws’ familiar.

Oi. Just because it gets a little chilly up here doesn’t mean that we deliberately grow out the hair in our noses. :P
I will say though, that Chris Pine is a very, very pretty man. Methinks it’s the eyes. I also think that Jeff Bridges, although not *pretty* also has very nice eyes.
