Don't compare yourself with celebrities...

    That 2nd picture of Michael is just scary. Geesh, he was a good-looking guy to begin with, why the hell did he feel the need to do all that crazy plastic surgery? He looks like a forkin' freak!

    The queen of smoke and mirrors attractiveness is Madonna. I've seen some pics of her without makeup, not a pretty sight.

    I think someone else also posted these same pics about a year ago, or so. I've seen a number of celebrities close up. Most of them look just like regular people and some of them don't even rate THAT. Three hours in hair and make-up, along with some nice airbrushing, does wonders.

    It's not even their faces anymore. Waists and thighs get a nice trimming via computer "enhancement". So, in many instances, young women, and some of us old women, aren't even comparing ourselves to something that is real. In actuality, it's merely an illusion created by an ad agency.

    nilfun, that was cool - I feel so much better now LOL.

    Actually I saw these step by step images of a make over session especially for photo shoots. The make up is applied according to the lighting and some things are taped up inside their clothing etc...what you see is NOT what you get.

    That pic of Michael Jackon is really hideous - the rich and famous can be so eccentric.

    What has Michael done to him self...ohhhh myy!!!!!!I knew he looked odd,but that is sad.I have to say,I thought Micheal was a nice looking young man before he started all that foolishness.

    I don't think any of them are ugly.Wonders what make up can do.They even get air brushed to look smaller and get rid of zits and every human nature flaw.

    I like me for me.... well.....most of the time

    Hi y'all,

    ...I hesitate to call others ugly...it's more what you do that makes you so.

    Yeah, how futile is that, for one to compare themself to an illusion...

    Um, the pic of Michael is disturbing...I'm sorry he got addicted to plastic surgery...

    ...and Prisca, your pic looks far from plain...

    Thanks Nilfun,

    I enjoyed seeing the "reality" of these celeb faces. There is no doubt about it, they are more artificial than real. And touch-ups on photos do wonders.

    They "act" for god's sake. They get paid millions to "act". Go figure. It makes no sense for these people to make more than the President! No wonder the world looks at this behavior and shakes their head. And, we pay the tickets to see the movies, and we support these folks in all their trips to the beauty parlor, fat farms, plastic surgeons, dental surgeons. And, no wonder they are screwed up in the head because they don't recognize themselves in the mirror!

    I'll just take me as I am and not feel any envy for these people. If I had millions, no doubt, I'd look glamorous too! Wouldn't we all? They have to try to look good even when they go to the grocery store, or the dentist, for fear someone will run up and snap their picture. I wouldn't like that kind of life at all.

    I believe make up does a world of good on anyone. I know I look 100 times better with make up.

    Pamela still looked pretty good. And she doesn't need makeup on those plastic melons of hers.

    I think that photo of applegate was of her jogging.

    Hmmm, I'm thinking some heavy makeup, special lighting and lenses, and I'd be da stud.
