Rosacea Common Among Hollywood Stars

 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.
