Lovely Erika Badu

Somebody find a picture of those little troll dolls we had in the late 60s and early 70s.

Pop music sensation Britney Spears

Bastard! How dare you!

Who's the cutie in the back? He has great hands.

Is she singing "Tyrone" again?

My lovely lady Liza!

She needs you, Rancho, she needs you.

Eeeek.

Wow, they're actually human.

not so sure, that top photo looks like a lot like:

Gierbolini airbrushed shock.

Fat people are so funny looking, right? Ha ha.

Do let's always remember that women who are not young, pert, perfect and beautifully made up at all times are fair game for ridicule... and do let's teach this to our kids so that this grand tradition can be perpetuated...

There is a good lesson in this though: never, ever wear velvet sweatpants in public, not matter what you look like.

I think more than anything it's a tribute to modern makeup.

I've stopped wearing foundation all together. Just a little concealer and blush.

Yes, and another lesson might be not to feel bad about yourself or depressed because you cannot attain the beauty and physical perfection that we all routinely attribute to celebs.

Because that level of beauty is usually only achieved through artifice. And in fact, THEY don't look that good, either.

not really, but the scowl she is wearing in that photograph looks a helluva lot like Jabba. sorry, it does.

oh, for fuck's sake, I just re-read this thread. These people are celebrities for crying out loud. They made a career choice to be in the public eye. I'm not going to feel guilty about making fun of them when they get caught going out looking like shit. Besides, Kirstie Alley is laughing all the way to the bank over this whole thing.

i think that's the more important lesson: Ugly happens. Get over it.
That's why I'm still try to understand how someone with hair on their back is considered "grosser" than picking your nose or a dirty toilet on that DNA test.

It was her neck (or lack of) that really made me think of Jabba.

Nor speedos, likewise.

Of course the problem is not the celebrities being hurt per se, it's what we are perpetuating to kids about what's important. And what is still most important about being a girl apparently is being pretty, trim and young. We can't tell kids that's not important, it's what inside that counts, yadda yadda, and then every day manifestly demonstrate that this is in fact bollocks.

great minds . . .

Of course it's bollocks. But to be fair, what people choose to wear often says a good deal about what's inside.

Rancho is right. Miracles of makeup. AND technology. Bet Doris Day wouldn't need the fuzzy focus today to cover up her freckles. They can all be PhotoShopped out. Airbrushed. I would think it might be fun to have your kids scan in their own photos and then play around with the erasers and tans and hair colorants. Then they would understand, too, they could be on the cover of Cosmo. My daughter was going for a photo shoot when she tripped and fell down some stairs. After the fabulous makeup artist did her thing, you would never know she had two black eyes and a big gash in her cheek.

Well, yeah. As always. Seriously. Was there ever any doubt?

You are giving me nightmares about what might be found inside Wilfrid.

Too bad. That's the Peter Pan dude, right? What a freak.

I just always picture Wilfrid as more playful than Goth. Maybe not THIS playful though...

Aw, c'mon, Fly. Don't leave everyone hanging.

When you scroll to the bottom of the photos there's a tab that says "Go Back." Ahhh, if only you could.

Wow: that's freakin' DEEP.

How that guy manages to frolic in the forest in that get-up and not get shot is beyond me...

Sanjaya?

I'll loan you a shovel.

Holy shit! What the fuck is that thing?

That's a 65 year-old Cabbage Patch doll.

They tried to make me got to rehab and I said "no, no, no!"

On the upside, she says her man saved her from offing herself.
