Why is Sandra Bullock always touted as "milk and cookies"

I do not understand, and will never understand, why everyone seems to play the human-adjective-mandatory-association game. Why is Jen Aniston paired with "unlucky," or ScarJo as "sexy" or Lohan as "talented yet lost." Do people not have eyes nor brains to think for themselves?

Aniston = divorced. Who even knows if she's looking to remarry!

ScarJo = pigeon toed and cannot even walk! Since when was hobbling sexy?

Lohan = CANNOT ACT! Sighing before and after delivering every line is not a "dramatic delivery." It's shitty acting at its finest and overusing a theatrical crutch!

The latest one to bother me is Bullock. She has that "girl next door" quality to herself: decent looking, decent shape, not hot and not ugly. Because of her "play it safe" appearance people glaze over glaringly obvious empirical information.

#1 She married a BIKER. "Nice girls" don't marry bikers! They marry accountants and teachers.

#2 She's all about the dirty between the sheets. Sex with double barreled guns? Yes, what "girl next door" behaviour, right?

#3 The latest evidence: KISSING A GIRL. I don't know what kind of neighbourhood people live in when kissing a girl is "normal" behaviour when you're looking for shock effect. Yes, what take home-to-mom, milk and cookies wholesomeness.

Can people please STOP conflating the characters she portrays in cinema for her actual persona? PLEASE?
