Washington, D.C. (November 17, 2007) -- The High-Definition TV picture is so clear that viewers can see Hollywood's biggest stars as they look in real-life.

Which can be a real eye-opener for the viewer.

Some celebrities who are named to 'Most Beautiful People' lists actually don't look very good in High-Definition.

Unable to hide behind fuzzy cameras and trick lighting, the stars' facial imperfections, aging signs and, sometimes, excessive plastic surgery, can be easily detected by the unforgiving lens of high-def.

However, stars who are naturally beautiful look even better in high-def.

With that in mind, Phillip Swann, president of TVPredictions.com, has just named his 4th annual "Best & Worst-Looking Celebrities in HDTV!"

And who's number two on the Worst List?


Actor Brad Pitt!

Here's what Swanni has to say about how Mr. Pitt looks in high-def:

"Pitt will turn 44 a week before this Christmas. But in high-def, he’s no gift to women. With those pockmarked cheeks, you half expect a space capsule to land on his face. Pitt was the star of Ocean’s 13, but in HD, he looks like he should be the star of Apollo 13 -- playing the part of the Moon!," Swanni says.

"And let me tell you, in high-def, you can see that his age has finally caught up with him. The star of Fight Club looks like he’s taken a few shots to the chops."
