I think these pictures are amazing!

Most of them look like corpses with their eyes open.

strangely, they remind me of those silly dog pictures…you know, the ones with the stretched out heads and stuff…

btw, i heart bon jovi. far away and up close, but especially up close and preferably in my bed.

I like the way the photos poke holes in the facade of Hollywood glamour.

So AA, you're saying you'll take Jon-Bon "Dead or Alive"?

yeah, and we'll just be "livin' on a prayer"

lol, there were so many, it was hard to choose.

It looks like they're deliberately badly lit and the people are told to have no expression or emotion at all. There's a huge difference between a tight close-up of someone with an animated face and one who looks dead.

Oddly, Bill Clinton looks better here than he ever has.

Maybe you can "Make a memory".

Ok. Sorry. Thats enough out of me.

I disagree. Most of these people look incredible up close - much less plastic and fake than typical photoshoots where they are wearing pounds of makeup and have been heavily photoshopped. I can see the real people here.

The eyes in some of the pictures freak me out. Dark-sided! Dark-sided!

I can see your point with some of the pics, kpod. Rosario Dawson and Brandy look so beautiful in their closeups.

I like faces with character, so while not beauty shots, I like them. To a point. Homeboy needs to put down the ring-light*. They all (especially Sting) look like snakes. Ssssssssss. Brandy, well, she just needs fluffier hair.

*and perhaps the slighly fish-eyed lenss?

A straight-ahead facing close-up is the most unflattering angle to photograph someone, generally, so the face that these people look at all presentable is some sort of miracle. Nars did that with his first make-up book, except he used models, who already look alien, and they were wearing no make-up. Check that book out for some disturbing photographs. Those types of photos can make the most beautiful person ugly.

Mmm, I love Bon Jovi too. I'm a bit disappointed he is not flashing his dazzling smile.

Yeah but they are still wearing makeup. I like the photos; they do show off more of the subjects' natural beauty. Namely Missy Elliott and Adrien Brody look beautiful… albeit everyone is a bit "off."

Doesn't Britney look like she was Photoshopped anyway? I like Rosario's. She looks pained.

This is why, I think, when humans flirt we advert our eyes.

Looks like John had a taste of some "bad medicine".

Just had to get in on that one! On another note, how hot is Joseph Fiennes?!?! Those eyes…

Brandy looks like a Hammer Head Shark - EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
