Goofy Beauties: Even Stunning Women Look Silly Sometimes

Deep within the human psyche lies an innate desire to gawk at photos of celebrities looking just as unglamorous as regular people.

It's even rumored that an early draft of Darwin's "The Origin of Species" included a shot of a hungover Mary Todd Lincoln wearing sweatpants coming out of the Starbucks on Melrose.

In keeping with this instinct, Asylum presents a gallery of beauties looking goofy. Like Darwin's editor, we also decided to cut the first lady out.

It's very seldom that Angelina Jolie doesn't ooze sexuality. This is one of those times.

It's not entirely clear whether Rachel Bilson is puckering up or smelling her upper lip. It's probably a little of both.

Amy Adams may have played a princess in "Enchanted," but here she looks like the village lunatic.

I'm a 69 year old male. Want to see a beautiful woman? This has been my standard for over 55 years. Go to the beach/ocean. Spend a day in the water, on the sandy beach, with the wind and sun. See how the girl/woman looks around 6 PM. If she looks great, no makeup, wet hair, no heels, paddle panties or bra. Then she is a beautiful.

So some photogs caught some women off guard, big deal. Not hard to do when one has a camera that takes mega amount of photos in a minute! The one of Lindsey Lohan looks as if she is raising her eyebrows at the photographers, not "Us."

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, not what someone else tells you it is.

Think you're wrong on these ones:

Angelina Jolie, Lindsey Lohan (1st pic), Beyonce, Halle Berry, Milla Jovovich, Penelope Cruz, Eva Mendes, Adriana Lima, Madonna, and Scarlet Johansson.

Even with those faces, they still look good. In fact some of the faces are even a bit more sexy than a normal look.

I'm telling you...you reporters make up stuff when you have nothing to do....the women in these pics are just being normal and goofy which is extremely sexy. they are showing there normal side and all you do is bash them...thank goodness I can beat the crap out of ANY paparatzzi alive. Why don't you come this way and try your stuff with me? Leave these women alone!!!

What is the problem with you media types? These women are not wax figures, no matter how famouns they are. Can't they frown, joke, and be caught in the middle of a facial gesture, and simply be seen as human? These do not change their beauty...

Wow. Seriously those comments were so cheesy and lame. Did you have a 5th grader write them? So filled with "fart humor" and moronic cracks.

You know, one of the reasons people are so obsessed with celebrities is because the media makes them appear to be more than human...and unfortunately, there are poor souls who fall for this bullsh*t. Whatever happened to paying attention to celebrities because of how and what they do in their CAREERS...you know, whether or not they are good actors/actresses, singers, dancers, comedians, writers, etc.? People tend to get so caught up in these people's personal lives (why, I do not know), that they tend to forget that these are the same people who wanted to become famous via their WORK. That whole "even stunning women look goofy sometimes" is just nonsense. Stunning women, you say? As if these actresses roll out of bed looking like that. Let's see, they have professional make-up artists/teams and reps who decide which photos can be shown to the public in order to maintain the image of everlasting beauty they portray. And if some of these celebrities had any kind of MORALS, they would let their work speak for itself instead of getting paid for having their pictures plastered everywhere or getting paid ridiculous amounts of money by pimping out their children's baby pictures. That's in addition to those who get paid by talking bad about others...I believe the industry term is a "tell-all", isn't it? Look, I'm a man and I think many female celebrities are beautiful, but personally I find just as many, if not more, beautiful NON-FAMOUS women every day in the city. Time for many celebs and people boosting their egos to dismount their high horses.

Jesus God I can't believe that you publish this crap in the news. Leave it for the idiot magnets like tabloids and brain-melting magazines. You see this shit? People are so distracted by the bad moment candid photos of celebrities and the next crazy thing that Britney Spears is going to do to realize what's actually going on in society, government, and economy. I wish people would wake up and get a clue: This is merely a distraction from the REAL news that they DON'T report.
