Since we looked at the nominees for the Best Actress Oscars earlier in the week, it's only fair that we flip the coin and end the week by looking at the handful of actresses that the Razzies have deemed to be the very worst of the year.
There's a whole variety of actresses up for the Worst Actress Razzie award this year – from perennial underperformers to hot young newcomers who couldn't suck any harder if you replaced their guts with a Dyson – so the least you can do is try to make some money from them. Oh, and one last thing – if you have seen more than one of these films voluntarily, you must go to bed without your dinner tonight.
So here are the Razzies betting odds for the worst actress – for Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Simpson, Kristanna Loken, Hilary Duff & Haylie Duff and Sharon Stone – with help from Paddy Power…
Lindsay Lohan, Just My Luck – Perfect timing. Just as Lindsay Lohan tries to torch every aspect of her old image by making serious grown-up films and going to rehab to appear more respectable and trustworthy, The Razzies slap her with a reminder that she was the star of Just My Luck – one of the worst films in living memory. In Just My Luck, Lindsay Lohan managed to make the least convincing luckiest girl in the world and the least convincing unluckiest girl in the world – a rare feat. Seriously though, let's hope Lindsay Lohan doesn't win the Worst Actress Razzie – it'd save her writing a borderline illiterate email to Al Gore about unfairly she's treated. Current Worst Actress betting odds – 8/1
Jessica Simpson, Employee Of The Month – The story of Robert The Bruce and the spider is a classic story – Robert was inspired to beat the English by watching a spider keep trying to spin a web in the face of great adversity – but if Robert The Bruce was trapped in a cave watching Jessica Simpson try to build a film career he'd have realised all is lost, given up and gone home. Jessica Simpson is a terrible actress who would chop her arms off to even be considered mediocre. But in Employee Of The Month, Jessica Simpson proves that she's nothing more than a walking cleavage so conclusively that The Razzies should just give her a Lifetime Achievement award now and be done with it. Current Worst Actress Razzies betting odds – 6/1
Kristanna Loken, Bloodrayne – A few years ago people saw Kristanna Loken in Terminator 3 and exclaimed "You're not as hopelessly wooden as Arnold Schwarzenegger! You've got a big future, young lady." And Loken took that faint praise and pissed all over it by starring in a Uwe Boll film. A Uwe Boll film based on a computer game. A Uwe Boll film based on a computer game containing the world's most cack-handed sex scene. Seriously, Kristanna Loken in Bloodrayne makes Jennifer Garner in Elektra look good, and without resorting to extreme acts of violence that's the worst blow we can deal. Current Worst Actress Razzies betting odds – 6/1
Hilary Duff & Haylie Duff, Material Girls – Usually a film with just one Duff girl in it would be enough to send us screaming for the woods, yanking at our hair and biting on our tongue. But both Duff girls – Hilary and Haylie? In one film? Together? Originally meant for the Olsen twins? Produced by Madonna's production company? Named after a Madonna song? That was never released in the UK? We can only imagine how bad Hilary Duff and Haylie Duff are in Material Girls. And just imagining it has stopped us sleeping for the last 38 days. Current Worst Actress Razzies betting odds – 4/1
Sharon Stone, Basic Instinct 2 – Just as Helen Mirren in The Queen has cast a huge shadow over the Best Actress Oscar category, Sharon Stone's bewildering turn in Basic Instinct 2 looks almost unbeatable in the Worst Actress Razzies category. Some people that all the horrific finger-sucking, boob-exposing and old-lady-reading-a-menu-without-her-glasses-delivery was deliberate on Sharon Stone's part, and that Basic Instinct 2 was a spoof on the genre, but we say "You shut up! Sharon Stone was even worse in Basic Instinct 2 than she was in Catwoman, and we thought that was a physical impossibility." Current Worst Actress Razzies betting odds – 8/13

Amy says
Oh, a tricky one. Stone’s the obvious choice, but the Duff twofer might just prove to be an irresistable option. I’m so excited

I’ll go with the Duffs. Watching their movie actually causes physical pain.
