I think part of it is that people mentally have separate categories for famous people you hear of on TV and in the news and enterainment and normal people. Famous people are held to a much higher standard, so you'll find people talking about them as if they're objectively ugly on a worldwide scale but what they mean is not as stunning as everyone else in Hollywood

TV ugly, so to speak

It's not a good thing but it happens

Yeah I agree with this. I think people see celebrities as people who have put themselves out there for criticism, and to some extent they are (criticising actors who aren't good at acting or writers who could work on their writing, for example, is fine). It's unfortunate that people rag on looks so much, but I think when people criticise a celebrity's looks, they do it in comparison with other celebrities, not themselves or people around them.

Absolutely. We're so used to seeing extremely attractive people on TV that we expect actors to be that attractive. And if they look slightly less attractive, people find them 'ugly'. They wouldn't find the same person ugly if they were their neighbour or their coworker or someone they might go out on a date with. But on a movie screen, on fancy photo shoots, compared to other gorgeous actors? They suddenly look ugly.
