(List includes hot pictures too, you know, for context's sake.) Often times for beautiful actresses, ugly-ing it up can be the ticket to Oscar gold. Not in the case of these chicks, who've had the following photos taken of them at just the wrong moment. Inquiring minds (I) investigate the ugly photos below.
The whole looking ugly thing does do pretty well in movies, though. Who could forget glamorous former model Charlize Theron rendering herself unrecognizable behind make-up to portray serial killer Aileen Wuornos, and Christina Ricci, rendering herself... um, okay, still pretty recognizable as Wuornos' lover and companion, Selby Wall? Or Gwyneth Paltrow in Steven Soderbergh's "Contagion," leaving aside the typical Hollywood glamor in order to portray a woman dying of a deadly virus?
But the following actresses didn't go fug for a role. In fact, their decision to leave the house looking this way may very well cut their careers short rather than extend them via awards and recognition.
In many cases, these ladies made a bad impression in these photographs simply because we're used to seeing them in more make-up (or more professionally-applied make-up, at least.) In others, an exuberance towards plastic surgery is to blame. Regardless, these are the hottest celebrities who have taken the ugliest photos. Enjoy?

Adriana Lima
Lima is a Brazilian Victoria's Secret model, so there's really no good excuse for this.
This isn't some "oh, we caught this celebrity without make-up" kind of incident. She looks lost and confused in this picture, like she's smiling at the cameraman in hopes that they'll read the note pinned to her chest and tell her how to get home. She looks more like this Disney character than she does this unbelievable bombshell of a woman.
So, why is this, ultimately, okay?
Because she's brought us a lot of great times and we've all had our experiences with images of her. And the fact that she came to her own in the days where some people still spent Friday nights alone with a Victoria's Secret catalog (just a few years ago) proves her staying power.
Not only that, but in almost every other picture she's managed to hold her own against all the other Victoria's Secret models, which is insane. I mean, she's the type of girl that can be the hottest person in a picture of three insanely hot girls. I mean, look.
Pictures like this one and this picture of her lady lumps don't hurt either.
Either way, she's still okay in my book.
But dear lord. This is the derpiest a famously hot girl has ever looked. Ever.
Angelina Jolie
I imagine she's doing a Butthead impression in this picture. She's laughing like him and doing it very accurately.
Not only does the normally super-hot Jolie look monstrous here, but I'm not even sure a human being should be able to turn their neck at that angle. It looks like she's about to spin it all the way around and throw up pea soup on me. It's really saying something when Jon Voight in the same outfit and position would probably be hotter.
And yes, sure, people age and all that, but it's not like she still doesn't have it going on. Check her out at the Kung Fu Panda 2 premiere. She looks slammin.
And remember this picture of her? She's always been insanely cute.
And look at her in this recent picture in a long black gown, doing for black gowns what she used to do for tiny black dresses (proof of this).
She's still good and the signs of aging aren't that obvious yet, but this picture of her belongs in a clown-horror movie.
Britney Spears
It's Britney, b*tch! And she's either about the throw up after a night of hard partying, or this is actually just a wax figure of her that has been left out in the hot summer sun for a few weeks. Your call.
Sure, she's seen better days (Exhibit A, Exhibit B, Exhibit C), but she still looks like this today.
So this picture must be an anomaly, because she's looked a little chunkier lately (and c'mon, she's had a few kids and you try being super rich and not gaining a few), but this picture is just... ugh... especially considering The Hottest "Vintage" Britney Spears pictures out there.
Cameron Diaz
Nope, this ISN'T footage of Diaz's little-seen screen test for the role of "The Scarecrow." It's just a candid photo of her in her hipster-iest hat.
Now, there may be some among you that dislike this selection, arguing that Cameron Diaz is not a "hot celebrity" to begin with. Certainly, she's famously been plagued by bad acne. To those people, I submit her appearance in the 1994 film "The Mask." Sssssssssssmokin'! (I'm sorry. I'm truly, truly sorry.) Also, check out these hot pics of her and see if you don't change your mind.
Gwyneth Paltrow
This photo was either taken of Gwyneth immediately following a 10-day coke binge, or right as she was about to sneeze. I'd suggest that it may have been intended as a tie-in to her role in the Steven Soderbergh film "Contagion," in which she's dying of a killer virus, but she looks better in the shots from that film I've seen. That film in which she's playing a woman who's dying.
Jennifer Lopez
Here is the full-size picture of this eyesore of a JLo picture.
And click here for a close-up of the infamous "Spanx debacle".
Gah! What's even going on in this photo? Is this a case of us just catching JLo's thigh at the WORST POSSIBLE ANGLE? Or does she always look like this and just weird some kind of crazy Spanx to cover that mound of cottage cheese up?
Perhaps someone should lay off the tacos y burritos. (Hey, that's not racist! It's a quote from an episode of "South Park" in which Cartman was being racist. So I think I'm on solid ground here...)
But, this is alright because she's brought us a lot of great eye candy in the past. But she's definitely on my watchlist as we, as a society, haven't really seen her look like this, this or this in a very, very long time.
Katie Holmes
I knew Katie had sort of turned a bit strange after the whole conversion to Scientology. But I didn't realize they actually had turned her into a zombie. Is that even legal?
She looks like Bruce Willis at the end of a Die Hard movie.
Kristen Stewart
Kristen Stewart is, by any objective analysis, a very attractive woman. Her looks get undermined, however, by 2 phenomenon: (1) She appears in the most hateful book-and-film series of our era, the "Twilight" juggernaut and (2) she has the fashion sense of a forgetful disinterested vagrant.
But for press lines and promotion, she always dolls up and looks adorable. here she is in a bra in a still from the new Twilight movie (so that you don't have to waste time looking for it). She also fills out a dress really well when she wants to and even looks pretty hot from the front.
So all hope isn't lost due to this picture, but hopefully she does all kinds of raunchy movies after the Twilight series of "films" (*stress shiver*) usually finally comes to an end.
Meg Ryan
Yes, this is actually a photo of former highly adorable romantic comedy mainstay Meg Ryan. She looks like the stoner best friend from a low-budget '70s teen movie. The MALE stoner best friend. If this person faked an orgasm in a crowded restaurant, it wouldn't be an iconic and endearingly hilarious classic film moment. It would be a multiple felony.
Katy Perry
Let this be the final word on the subject, ladies.. enabling the "Flash" function on your camera phones, webcams and digital cameras are not doing you any favors. Ever.
It's really a shame that so much Internet pornography has come to revolve around them, as it's just not really a flattering look. And the pervert community weeps for these sings.
Normally, Katy Perry could do anything and look hot. I'm pretty sure I could look at a photograph of her chainsawing puppies to death and still get at least a partial going. But put her on a webcam and BLAMMO!, she looks like some emo dude who needs a haircut and some Clearasil (they still make Clearasil, right?).
Be sure, she is totally hot: Top 20 Hottest Pics of Katy Perry
But not to worry, her boob-teasing hotness isn't going anywhere, because as recently as the Smurfs movie premiere, she looked awesome in her Smurfette dress: Katy Perry wearing a Smurfette dress.
And just last year she gave us this amazing topless picture of her wearing a handbra that is probably too small for her.
And here's a picture of her bending over and exposing quite a bit of cleavage while putting something in her mouth. Trust me. It proves the ugly picture wrong.
Just don't catch her without any makeup on.
