(To reflect monstrous egos?) Celebrities are generally so preened and styled, it is really refreshing to see what they look like when designed to look terrible. This is hardcore photoshop action, but it's still very effective.... yet it's annoying that the female celebs still manage to look gorgeous, even as monsters.
