Remember that 'No Women on Top Gear' thing? Forget it. Hammond wants Angelina
Last month, Jeremy Clarkson said that introducing a female host to Top Gear "would be a disaster." The relative youngster among the Top Gear crew, Richard Hammond, isn't so sure he'd call it a disaster, depending on the female in question. Hammond's opinion is that old fogies Clarkson and May are simply out of it, and "If we had to have a female co-host, I think we'd all choose Angelina Jolie," because she "has a Land Rover and guns."
It doesn't hurt that a fair bit of the population finds Jolie rather attractive, and Hammond is no different. And there is where Hammond might have just proved Clarkson's point about a female host being a catastrophe. Calling Jolie "utterly, utterly gorgeous," Hammond says with her on the crew "I'd just keep fainting." And how good could TG be with Clarkson, Captain Slow, Jolie, and a comatose Hamster?

It'd never happen... but In all honesty even if it did, I doubt I'd complain too much. Angelina Jolie is hot!

If I were the producer, in the first episode with Jolie I would have one of those TG epic races, and the teams would be as follows:
-Clarkson
-Hammond
-May
-Jolie and The Stig

Maybe ten years and two-three kids ago. Meat's a little too close to the bone today.

She does not even know how to drive a car.
Ridiculous.

Yeah, Angelina introducing special guests.
"Everyone. Today's celebrity driver is Nicole Richie!!!!"
Oh hell.....

Did you see the Samsung phone review that FOUND Brad Pitt in window of his Amsterdam house? youtube - funny.
Anyway, I for one do not find Angelina interesting. She looks like this boy my sons know, who just happens to be in the next room. Big fishy lips. Odd looking.
Her Dad kicks butt. Shouting down socialist BHO! He rocks. My F-I-L met him last year.
And what do Brits need with GUNS? They can't figure out what to do with them. I got moderated just for mentioning I carry two guns, off of a BBC forum this week. Geesh. Perfectly legal. They are nuts. Plus, just watched the 8:30 am BBC news broadcast from 9/1/01. Their commentary made them sounds like 6th graders! "I think emergency services will have a difficult time getting to the top ten floors". Duh, YA THINK SO??? Genius.
Anyway, Top Gear is funny to laugh AT.

I'd communicate with you but I'd have to learn a whole new language.
How about this for starters? "Howdy howdy? Guns. Patriot. Bombs. Terrorists. TERRORISTS? WHAR?"
FThorn 7:39PM (9/11/2009)
LOL (Is that a good language for you?) ;)

FThorn: It is because of people like you that the British laugh at us.

They get accused of being sexist whatever they do.
1. change nothing -- sexist because women like cars too
2. get a "babe" presenter -- sexist because everyone knows if you're beautiful you can't drive (either can't physically, or can't not permitted -- see above photograph)
3. get a homely presenter -- sexist because she's obviously a lesbian, who are just men in disguise
So why go to all that effort to be slated if you're going to be slated anyway?

"3. get a homely presenter -- sexist because she's obviously a lesbian, who are just men in disguise"
I think you are confusing lesbians with F-to-M transgenders. I know lots of femme lesbians. Gaydars can't detect them and they've almost no whiff of manliness. Sexual preference/orientation is not dictated by gender or wish to be the other gender.
Anyways, semantics aside :)
I think TG's unbeatable chemistry is totally at stake when deciding whether to satisfy the faux-feminists about this non-issue. Changing the lineup, no matter if it's man/woman/lgbt/black for the sake of appeasing Harriet Harman or Ofcom is ridiculous.
As for Angelina Jolie: exceedingly beautiful but not a petrolhead (she doesn't even drive the 7 in the picture. The 7's a driver's limo, FFS.)
I remember Clarkson writing in the Sunday Times about how STI and Evo drivers only look sexy when they're female, citing Emma Parker-Bowles and Jodie Kidd as the perfect drivers of said car. If there has to be a female replacement/inclusion, she has to be that type. Even if she doesn't perfect the rapport with the men, male audiences will love the sight!

Eww Jolie is nasty.

Angelina Jolie is one of those women that looks beautiful only when make-up is involved. Personally I'm not impressed now, nor ever.
And let's be real, how many of us know a significant number of women who know a crankshaft from a camshaft? I can count on my hands the number of women I know that know what the pesky lamp looking light means...

Do my eyes decieve me? Or is she opening her OWN door? Chivalry is dead. =)

I'm probably in the minority when I say this but...............I never found her that attractive. Was she kind of cute? Maybe 10-12 years ago but even then.......only with the right lighting & a professional makeup artist on 24hr. standby.

Agree. Over. Rated.
Not sure WTF is up with Jennifer, but she was a hotter score. I would have definitely spent a lot of cash on counseling to make that relationship work.
She's smokin.
