Hoping to bring celebrities down to size, this 'Celebrity Close-Up' [Tumblr](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tumblr-campaign) is a hilarious gathering of unflattering snapshots featuring the rich and famous.

Sure to pique the interest of many tabloid-crazed fans, this site is the perfect counteraction to the [airbrushed photos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photo-to-caricature-pictures) viewers are exposed to on a daily basis. Featuring stars from all industries, from Nicki Minaj to Jim Carrey, it seems that no one is safe from the wrath of this blog. Though admittedly a bit mean-spirited, there are likely more than 100 perfect photos for each [unflattering close-up capture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonnas-cam).

Likely to grow in size because of the mass availability of celebrity images, this is a Tumblr on the rise that's bound to get more than a few guiltily pleasurable hits.
