If you consider yourself squeamish then you might not want to check out Skinless Celebrities by The Onion. The Internet's No. 1 satire site has created a photo gallery filled with celebrities who are sans epidermis. It's a macabre spoof on the tabloid magazines that ravenously document the style of celebrities. It's safe to say that these portraits would never appear in a magazine's "Just Like Us!" section.
Some of the stars profiled in Skinless Celebrities by The Onion include Eva Mendes, Mila Kunis and Liev Schreiber. The other celebrities will take a keen eye, and then some, to spot. The Onion is known for spoofing just about everything and anything around, and while these skinless celebs are a bit gross, there's no denying the site's cleverness.
