JESSICA SIMPSON – OR A HEAD TRANSPLANT?

Photo Credit: Buzz Foto

Does anyone else think this photo looks like someone transplanted Jessica Simpson’s pretty head onto a librarian’s body? That was our first guess. From the neck down she looks like another person. It turns out this is not the result of photoshop- it’s actually a dress Jessica wore on TV this week. NOT terribly flattering.

WHICH ADAM LAMBERT DO YOU PREFER?

adam2

Details magazine saw something in American Idol’s Adam Lambert that we never noticed before. We knew he was cute, but he’s really sexy when he’s done up as a 50’s kind of rockabilly rebel James Dean type. In fact, he’s a knockout. Which way do YOU like him best?

DON'T ASK ANGELINE TO SMILE FOR THE CAMERA

Here’s a rare photo of Los Angeles billboard queen Angelyne, and we’ll tell you why it’s rare. Because Angelyne refuses to pose for photos unless a Polaroid camera is used! She thinks polaroids are more flattering but, of course, nobody has Polaroid cameras anymore, so Angelyne won’t cooperate with photographers. She’s pictured here having coffee with a young man wearing an Angelyne T shirt.

SPORTS ILLUSTRATED DIDN'T DO MICHAEL PHELPS ANY FAVORS

Michael Phelps is everybody’s hero, but are we the only ones who admit that we think he looks like a supergeek on this Sports Illustrated cover? How could they do this to him? This photo will follow him for the rest of his life. To put it politely, it minimizes his attributes. The magazine bends over backwards to make sure their swimsuit models look good. They couldn’t give our Olympic paragon a break? We could take a better photo in our backyard.

WOULD YOU ASK THIS MAN FOR AN AUTOGRAPH?

A reader sent us this photo of Richard Grieco and remarked that he resembled Richard Ramirez, the Night Stalker. We don’t think it looks like Ramirez OR Grieco, but when we checked it out, we found out this demented looking guy really IS Richard Grieco. He’s changed a lot since “21 Jump Street.” Of course, anybody can take a bad picture.

WHILE THE REST OF US GAG, HEIDI AND SPENCER ARE LAUGHING ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK

These incredibly corny photo set-ups that Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag arrange, continue to be a significant source of income. SOMEBODY is actually buying them! On Valentines day they “shared” their tender moments when Spencer gave Heidi a pair of platform shoes as a gift (?) and they smooched on a yacht. Seriously, these arranged photo-ops pull in an average of $10,000 a week for the couple to split! (Spencer used to take ALL the money until Heidi found out they were getting paid.) Nauseating, isn’t it?

A CLASSIC DAVID SPADE ENCOUNTER

David Spade parked in the Taco Bell lot yesterday on Beverly Blvd and walked past a homeless man on his way into the restaurant. Suddenly his noticed a photographer aiming at him and stopped in his tracks. He slyly announced “Oh, I guess this is where I give the homeless guy some money. I’ll pretend I don’t see the camera – just like George Clooney does.” He pulled out a wad of money and peeled off a ten dollar bill for the grateful guy. Mission accomplished: the photographer was happy, the raggedy guy was happy, and David looks like Mr Nice Guy.

KEIRA KNIGHTLEY: DIGITAL PERFECTION

PIRATESCUT.jpg
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End is in the final days of post production, but they had a last minute expense. Keira Knightley’s complexion wasn’t up to snuff, so they called in special effects experts to smooth it out. Keira, 22, was said to have had a bad reaction to make-up, and she broke out with acne during filming. Despite the best lighting efforts, the bumps still showed so they were digitally removed in every close-up. Now she looks as beautiful as Johnny Depp.

CAMERON DIAZ: WATCH YOUR HEAD!

Was Cameron Diaz inspired by Steve Martin’s old “arrow in the head” comedy routine into wearing this headgear? Or is this a nice way of saying “fork you” to photographers? Actually, she doesn’t have a fork in her head – Cameron happened to be right in front of a restaurant sign as she leaves her gym. But it IS a funny picture, isn’t it?

GUESS WHO?!

Above you have a still-famous member of a notorious U.K. punk band that RULED in the 70’s. Now he’s famous for something else. Here he’s lounging by the pool at 999 North Doheny Drive in his new Speedo – trying to get rid of tan lines. Surprised to see no tattoos?

Okay, maybe you guessed that the wet Brit is Steve Jones of the Sex pistols. Now he’s a famous DJ on Jonesy’s Jukebox at Indie 103.1. This is a recent picture of Jonesy with 70’s rock photographer Brad Elterman who took the original shot years ago. We both lived at 999 Doheny in those days – Brad invited Steve over for a photo shoot in the pool. Back then, Steve was delighted to be invited to swim in a pool. Brad says Steve was “really sweet with a cockney accent.” Brad is having a retrospective of some of his rockin’ photos this week in Beverly Hills sponsored by Next Models Management.
