Post hideous pictures of beautiful people

It matters not whether the person in question is a rooster or a hen, living or dead. It only matters that the person be famous and ordinarily considered hot, and that the picture makes him or her look positively ghastly.

I’ll begin with this Vogue magazine cover featuring Anne Hathaway.I can only explain the rictus on display here by assuming that Ms. Hathaway once ran over the photo editor’s dog.

Christian Bale playing crack addict Dickie Englund in the upcoming The Fighter.

Arnold Schwarzneggar. I was reading the Predator thread earlier. It’s sad.

Do mug shots count? If soMatthew McConaughey and Heather Locklear look like they were hauled in during a truckstop prostitution bust.

I don’t think Locklear, McConaughey, or Arnold look *hideous *in those shots–just average. Bale, contrariwise, looks like he should be shot as a zombie.

Madonna looking like the Crypt Keeper:

Well… I can’t quite agree with this. He looks like and older man with a paunch - and a damn sight better than many men his age. That photo also cuts off his arms, which makes him look even more ungainly. It’s unattractive, but it’s the photo and age and not the man.

I just looked at the Bale pic; damn but that’s a pretty high beam to jump for.

Dammit, I just finished regenerating my eyeballs. Now I have to gouge them out AGAIN!

For the record, do post-mortem pictures count?

'Cause I’ve seen one of Marilyn Monroe that pretty much wins, hands down.

I’d say not. No one looks good in such circumstances. I agree with whoever said the Bale pic was the exemplar of the type. (I would give proper credit but I do not know how to scroll up.)

Simon LeBon

It’s funny what people consider hideous. That mug shot of Heather Locklear still looks better than most people’s Facebook pictures.

Really? Cos he’s in makeup and wardrobe on the set of a movie in which he plays a crack addict, so that opens it up to any actor who has every played ugly.

Ugh, he still has that smug grin on his face. Is that thing permanent?

All right all right.

Anne Hathaway is made-up in the picture I posted as well, though admittedly I doubt she thought she’d be made to look ready to hold Gotham City hostage.

I’m not sure what it is about Anne Hathaway. Sometimes she looks absolutely gorgeous and sometimes she’s just all nose.

Kristin Stewart

Renee Zellweger.

Maggy Gylllenhaal.

Looks like it’s been 5 years since he’s pumped the iron.

If by “iron” you mean steroids, then it’s probably been longer.
