Celebrities are real human beings? Really?
This is just gross. Somebody decided it would be amusing to point out that celebrities might have yellow teeth, and (gasp!) hair on their bodies!
Even worse is the fact that they zoom into parts of their bodies not normally looked at in order to point out the "problems." I don't even need to go into the reasons why shaming people, especially women, about their friggin' body hair is messed up.
Feel free to leave a comment of disapproval.

That is disgusting. Quite a few of the pictures I looked at and thought "If you zoomed in there on me, that's what you'd see!" They are shaming the celebrites and anyone who has ever looked like that (most of the celebrities live in L.A., it's HOT--of course they are going to sweat!) The one of Alicia Key's 'cleavage hair' is especially ridiculous. Don't all people have hair there (and all over their bodies?)
We're not supposed to have so much as ONE hair on our bodies, or have sweat glands, or eat/drink anything (it might stain our delicate lady-teefs!). That seems perfectly reasonable-- if we dedicate several hours each day and dangerous medical procedures to this pursuit.

Argh, the one of Nicole Kidman's hands really bothered me. For me its a circulation thing.. medical issues are in a whole different category than pit stains, imo. Shall we make fun of people who are bald from chemo, too? gosh.
Didn't Tara Reid have plastic surgery that left her disfigured?
i thought so. :(
yes she did
That ripply effect (for lack of a better term) can be caused by a mishandled liposuction.
this just really pisses me off. who the hell has this kind of audacity? is this where we really are - making fun of celebrities for not looking like their $1000 photo touch-ups?
if anything, we should be praising these people: "ok whew they ARE normal like everyone -- SEE? now stop freaking out!!"

The captions are horrible.
But I actually kind of like seeing pictures like these, because it reminds me that yes, celebrities ARE human beings.
Maybe slide shows like this could be positive if the commentary was positive?
Oh, and also, no zoom-ins.

I think it was borderline funny how much they had to stretch for criticism in some of the pictures - "if we zoom 100x you can see three stray eyebrow hairs on Beyonce - gross!" "this victoria Secret model, spank candy for millions of men, actually SWEATS! yea GODS!" almost like an onion post.
I agree Jamie Marr, it would've been better to do one of those US magazine spreads: "stars! they're just like us! so don't worry so much about shaving or pit stains! sexy women clearly sweat!"
I wish body hair was in style. Frankly, I'm sick of explaining my need for pubic hair.
How do those celebrities LIVE with themselves?!?!
For godsakes, NBC, stop showing pictures like this! If I see un-photoshopped celebrities too often I might start to feel better about MY appearance and god knows we can't have that!
Wow, if these things make these womyn sub-human I'd hate to think what they'd do if they saw pictures of me.
