Just say yes with as much charm and confidence as you can muster without even thinking about it. If you hesitate, she'll think you're thinking about the woman she is comparing herself to (and let's be honest, you probably are). Plus, women just like guys with a lot of confidence.
I'm just happy guys never ask "Am I as hot as Chris Hemsworth/Jason Momoa/other attractive celebrity?". The answer may surprise you...
I asked my wife one time after she admitted to thinking Johnny Depp was hot if she imagines I'm him in bed. That pretty much put an end to these types of conversations.
We're secure enough to joke about it. She doesn't compare, but she wants to know what I like. (So when I told her I thought (actress with) short dark red hair was hot and she wanted that look anyway she had no problem getting me to cough up the $100 to get it done).
I brought home a Taylor Laughtner movie for valentines day. I told her the last 3 rom com's we watched sucked and at least this way I'd get an action movie and she'd at least get some eye candy. Worked for her.
Edit: Bitsy I had to google Jason Momoa. I think women are funny. Like they are totally all over the long haired guys like that on TV, but she'd never want to be a with a guy who wasn't clean cut. I know that's a generalization based on my experience so your milage may vary.
When Titanic first came out I had my hair long and layered like Leo DiCaprio and I could have passed for him. Girls liked that, but he was like Bieber back then.
Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
EVERYONE looks better than Kristen Stewart. I'm not saying she's ugly but she has a paralyzed gargoyle ***** face. Girls think she's pretty though so what seems like common sense to guys is a high complement to women.

Um, no.
I'm a straight guy, and I think Kristen Stewart is gorgeous and extremely beautiful.

She's ok in the whole "Blue Steel" sort of way. I prefer women who looks like a regular person. Rosario Dawson, Katy Perry, Gina Torres, and Alyson Hannigan for example. Kristen Stewart kinda reminds me of a moving mannequin.

Please don't assume your opinion is that of other guys. I'm male, and to me, Kristen Stewart is smoking, smoking hot.

- Chuck Norris counted to infinity twice—because he was trying to count how much damage Jon Finkel deals in an average game.
- Jon Finkel believes in maintaining a healthy, balanced diet. He gets all his fiber from eating Magic cards for breakfast, and all his protein from eating Magic players for lunch.
I just roll my eyes and refuse - and if pursued on the matter - always state my intelligence thing to her (she considers me amongst the smartest people on the planet, foolishly, as I tell her often) in that with so many people on the planet, even being very beautiful or bright there's always going to be people that beat you out.
Being #1 in a field of BILLIONS is a stupid standard for anyone to work towards.
And as a sidenote: You could point out how much make-up work some celebs use to get to their "normal", more than a few celebs are 80-90% paint.
[As an example Kristin Stewart above uses an obscene amount of make-up that's a turnoff to me - I will say that she's quite attractive the few times she's been caught without - but she doesn't make a habit of it]

All of those are way hotter than K Stewart.

I'd say "She is more beautiful but in an artificial sense. Who knows what she would look like without the designer clothing, expertly applied makeup, airbrushing, and Bob only knows what else. You're beautiful in a more tangible sense because you are lovely without all the fakeness or frippery. Looks only make up so much of a person's beauty and you can't judge a person's character from a movie screen or a magazine.". Women want to know that a man see's her looks yet doesn't dwell on them as her most valuable asset. Coveting a famous woman based on her looks tells your gf or friend that you care more about looks than about the other qualities that make a woman beautiful.
This is pretty damn close to my actual (and true) response to this sort of thing. My logic is that a woman I love fresh out of the shower is vastly sexier than the celeb *****es, even based on looks alone, because I KNOW they're sexy as **** in their candid state whereas the celebs are not only indeterminate, but pay very well to dress up as sexy and therefore VERY likely not to be hotter in their candid state than my woman.
Edit/corollary: the women I chase, if dressed up in a manner similar to that of a VS model, would outperform a VS model, in my eyes.
How should you answer when a woman you're dating or trying to date (actually, for that matter, when any woman asks this, even if you're not dating her and she's just a friend/sister/cousin/etc.) asks you, "Do you think I'm prettier / more beautiful than [insert random beautiful female celebrity's name]?"
"I see how others might find her attractive but I myself don't think she's beautiful, and she's not my type anyway." This would be satisfactory for nights not spent alone.
If I say "No," even when I'm doing my best to be nice about saying so, then she gets mad for my honesty, that I don't think she's more beautiful. The answer doesn't work whether I leave it as a simple "No" or even if I try to qualify it with a truthful addendum like "No, but I love you anyway."
If you were to say "no; [but], I love you [anyway]" or "no; [...] I love you" or "no; [...] I love you", I'd feel weirded-out, angry, or suspicious, and you'd probably get the silent/suss treatment.
If I say "Yes," then she thinks I'm lying (which I probably am) and still gets mad at me.
Seriously, how are you supposed to answer this question? I'd be grateful for insight from other people (any men who've found a good answer to this, or any women who can explain just what it is you want to hear when you ask this).
There's no easy answer for all situations and all people.
Play them as you see them, but just don't be an idiot or silly and you'll be completely golden. Be honest and sincere but also be considerate and kind.
In this scenario (this forum) the word 'deflect' is pretty accurate for some answers.
Speaking about a <celebrity>, I could say:
-She has not a sensual voice like yours.
-She has not that beautiful smile that you grant me every morning (yeah, a special smile only for me).
-She has not that shining that lies in your eyes and made fall in love with you.
But I think that we are skipping the possibility of your GF being truly more pretty.
Any of you have a beautiful GF?
Sometimes the girls, even the beauties, want a compliment about their physic.
That's remember me when my actual GF asked me (when we started dating) what was that I liked more about her (physically speaking).
After a great and sincere discourse explaining that I'm not a stereotype hunter, and I admire many different things in each different person, even if I have some fetish-like as high-heels sounds and nude shoulders, and bla, bla, bla, she told me that my answer wasn't fulfilling.
The next day I told her directly: Girl, you have such a wonderful, beautiful, magnificent ASS (which is true). And, guess what? That's was the answer she was waiting (well, she was not waiting I used the word Ass).
I used to hang around paparazzis a lot. I've seen pics they've taken and I've been to NYC with them.
Most female celebrities are average looking, to be honest. They aren't any better looking than most women out there. They just have experts that can give them make-up, clothing, computer effects to make them look better looking.
I once answered the question in regards to an actual person. Who I had dated. I answered incorrectly. I was acting in an incredibly foolish manner.
The correct answer is "You're more attractive". Implying that they are a more attractive person overall, because you are more attracted to them than a celebrity (hopefully), since you know nothing of that person's personality. It would probably be inferred as "you're prettier than", which is what you were going for anyway...
My go-to response is always something akin to "You're more intellectually attractive, which means more to me."

Other times it depends on the celebrity she picks. You could get lucky and have to compare her to --or the girl you're dating has an inferiority complex and thinks she's better looking than . No girl I've seen is prettier than Olivia Wilde.

"Stewart is Keanu Reeves with boobs." Or something similar is how she was described on this forum. I tend to agree.
Ambition must be made to counteract ambition.
Individualities may form communities, but it is institutions alone that can create a nation.
Nothing succeeds like the appearance of success.
Here is my principle: Taxes shall be levied according to ability to pay. That is the only American principle.
