Post hideous pictures of beautiful people

Skald, you might find you enjoy the regular feature “Fug The Cover” over at Go Fug Yourself which is littered with choice examples.

Like Kate Hudson.

ETA: I’ll add that I’d happily look as ‘bad’ as Kate does here but she can look about a million times nicer than this. How bad can the other pics from this shoot have been that THIS made the cover?

This is the second or third photo you’ve posted that doesn’t even come close to hideous.

Not her best picture? Yes. Hideous? Give me a break.
ETA: 5-4-Fighting has some excellent examples of hideous photos in his/her link.

Hence the title of the OP:

“Post hideous pictures of beautiful people.”

Bolding mine.

It is downright scary how much she can look like Natalie Portman.

We SPECIFICALLY disallowed post-mortem pictures upthread, and that includes vampires.

Take that back!

Yeah, that’s a bad hairdo in that picture of Keira, and she’s wearing too much eye makeup, but I’ve seen a lot worse.

Heh! That’s an interesting choice. I was expecting more of a actors without photoshop sort of thing, but this is a whole other beast.

That one’s less “Keira looking awful”, and more “Keira, what are you wearing?” Her face looks fine, but that shirt needs to be converted into armchair upholstery.

In all fairness, no one looks good with thier hand shoved down thier speedos.

Lindsay Lohan. TWENTY THREE YEARS OLD. :: shudder ::
(if you scroll down on each link, there are multiple pics)

Huh. There are some truly atrocious pictures in there, but there are a lot of really cute photos. The catty bitchiness that some of those fashion sites display is sad. Of that list, I think the following look really cute:

Anna Kournikova
Gisele Bundchen (seriously, how snarky do you have to be to suggest Gisele doesn’t look good?)
Halle Berry
Jennifer Love Hewitt (friggin’ adorable pic)
J-Lo (she may be giving an evil glare to someone off set, but she looks good)
Jessica Biel (so she doesn’t have makeup on - oh noes!)
Julia Roberts (I’ve seen bad photos of Julia - this is not one of them)
Kate Hudson (adorable)
Katherine Heigl (hot)
Katie Holmes (in fact, the “ugly” picture is better than the “hot” picture)
Uma Thurman (hotter there than 100% of the people I’ve seen in real life this entire week)

I agree. Jennifer Lopez and Julia Roberts both look first-rate here. Some beauties definitely survive the journey off the set.

Ordinarily I save this remark for Mellophant chat, but…

HOLY ZEUS!

In this case however, it’s a hideous picture of someone who USED to be beautiful.

I sat next to Lindsay Lohan and her family on a flight once, when she was 18. She was a legitimately beautiful young woman. Believe me, they weren’t playing tricks with the camera in her early movies; she was actually prettier in person than on screen. She’d have been the most beautiful girl in a randomly chosen group of 100 young women 99 times in a hundred.

How someone could have gone that far downhill in five years is just baffling. Well, I guess it’s not all that baffling; booze, cocaine, and meth explain a lot.

I agree with all the cute, normal ones you listed.

I never agreed with topsocialite that all of the pictures were atrocious and even said I thought some of them were just people shown in normal (non-glamorous) situations. I included the whole site because I just couldn’t figure out how to get the individual links to go to the ones I thought were the worst.

Refreshingly, the comments on that “celebs without makeup” page seem to mostly be sane: About half of them are pointing out that most of them are wearing makeup, just less than they would on set, and a lot of them are in the “Oh, so you never have a bad hair day?” vein.

Obligatory Kramer-in-his-cigar-smoking-phase reference.

How the effin hey do you get forehead creases at her age?

Well, if you pass out face first on the sewer gratings enough times…

I have had forehead creases since I was 17! Fair skin + trying to tan.
