Swanni's 10 Stars With Bad Skin in HDTV!
When seen on the
tube in
crystal-clear
high-def, these 10 celebs need a tube of
Clearasil.

--
Do you think you know which Hollywood stars have
beautiful skin?
Well, you may be wrong.
High-Definition TV, which offers a picture up to six
times clearer than regular TV, allows you to see the
stars as they look in real-life. And because the
picture offers such incredible detail, you soon
notice that some "beautiful" celebrities have
terrible skin problems.
Acne. Pockmarks. Rosacea. Blackheads. Whiteheads.
Some Hollywood stars have them in abundance but have
been able to shield them from the public with
everything from flattering lighting to airbrushed
photos to on-screen digital effects.
Yes, just because Hollywood says a star is flawless
doesn't make it so. Or, at least, not as
flawless as his or her agent want us to
believe. In HDTV, the ultimate reality television,
the truth is revealed -- whether they like it or
not.
So, here are the 10 stars who have the worst skin,
as seen in High-Definition TV:
1. Brad Pitt
America's favorite male heartthrob would give some
females a heart attack if they saw him in real-life.
The Oceans 11 star has deep pockmarks in his
cheeks, the result of a long-time acne problem. His
name may be Pitt, but his face is a crater.
I saw that a skin specialist recently said that his
new squeeze Angelina Jolie has a skin problem. This
guy obviously doesn't have high-def. Jolie's skin is
beautiful except for that large mole over her right
eyebrow. In high-def, it looks like Mt. Everest.
2. Jennifer Aniston
If there were ever two people in Hollywood made for
each other, it's Jen and Brad. Like her ex-husband,
Ms. Aniston's cheeks are filled with pockmarks. They
say married people start to look like each other
after several years. Perhaps if he stays with
Angelina, Brad will eventually lose the pockmarks
and gain a mole over his right eyebrow.
3. Cameron Diaz
The actress has had a terrible acne problem since
high school; her cheeks and forehead are littered
with pockmarks and other blemishes. And it doesn't
seem to get better. Now in her 30s, Ms. Diaz's face
still has more breakouts than six episodes of Fox's
Prison Break.
4. Maria Sharapova
The 19-year-old tennis star is
very cute, but she's 19, an age at which the
Almighty wants us to suffer a little. (It's the
price you have to pay for being 19.) In high-def,
Ms. Sharapova's face is covered with small, red
pimples. (Of course, you never see them in fashion
and advertising photos, such as the one above. The
Great Almighty's work is erased by the Great
Airbrush.) Hopefully, she will conquer the teenage
affliction just as she conquers her opponents on the
court.
5. Madonna
The Material Girl should reinvent herself as the
Moisturizing Girl. Her face is dried up as if she
hasn't had a glass of water in years.
6. Renee Zellweger
Like Ms. Sharapova, the Chicago star is a cutie but
she looks like
she has a bad Rosacea problem; it's very visible in
high-def. There are large red spots on her cheeks
and forehead.
7. Kurt Russell
The Miracle
star would need a miracle surgeon to fix the sun
damage on his face. There are more rough patches
than in a typical Hollywood marriage.
8. Ray Liotta
Okay, even in
non-HDTV, you can tell that the veteran actor
doesn't exactly have the smoothest skin in town.
His cheeks even have more holes than the plot of his
latest movie.
9. Frankie Muniz
For the last few
years, the Malcolm in the Middle star has had
to suffer his teen acne on national television.
10.. Tommy Lee Jones
He's got it all.
Blackheads. Whiteheads. Acne scarring. The Coal
Miner Daughter star looks like he's been in a
coal mine ever since he made that 1980 film.
