Scarier by the minute

A little bit more concealer please

Everytime one of these ultra-scary photos of Heath Ledger as the Joker crops up, I think to myself maybe the Joker renounced humanity because nobody bothered to do a colour analysis for him.  Not knowing how to find the right clothes and cosmetics to complement one’s colouring can easily turn one into a psychotic, schizophrenic mass-murderer with zero empathy. 

But leaving aside whether he’s a cool summer or a clear spring or even a light winter, it may surprise you to know that not many celebrities realise the Joker ended up that way by plummeting into a vat of chemicals.  If they had known it was as easy as that, actresses like Joan Van Ark could have saved a lot of money and time in order to achieve her end goal, whatever that may be.

I like to go au naturale

    Is she ill? Seriously. Is she?

    That’s either a five o’clock shadow or someone forgot to excuse themselves after a particularly messy meal to respackle one’s face…

    Did she order brains at the afterparty? You can call her “Hollywood Survivor” if you want, but that look just screams “Zombie MILF” to me.

    What horrible cosmetic surgery. So much for aging gracefully.

    I’m with Cat. Seriously, is she ill?

    I think it’s mostly the zombie makeup of death, not surgery.

    That’s got to be a photoshop hack job. Seriously – do you check your sources? No one would go out in public looking like that.

    It’s not a photoshop hack job. Check the London Daily Mail.

    I was never a huge fan of the 80′s nighttime soaps like “Falcon Crest” or “Dallas,” but I did do a couple of years of “Dynasty” (the early years) and a few years of “Knot’s Landing” (the mid-to-late years, when Julie Harris, Ava Gardner and the young Alec Baldwin were all frolicking together). In the latter show, you could always tell what mental condition Joan van Ark’s character was supposed to be by just looking at her hairdo, and I’m so glad nothing has changed. Twins kidnapped? Not just split ends but split hairdo levels. Ignore the plastic surgery, it’s the hair that tells the story.

    Honestly, she should have stayed in the house few more days until she recovered from the facial peel.

    annon, it is not an altered photo. There are multiple photos all over the web of her at the same event, and she looks like that in all of them. Besides, when you say “no one would go out in public looking like that,” you’re not taking into account that Hollywood is full of crazy people. Have you seen the way Britney Spears looks every day when she goes out in public?
