Even with the boatloads of time, money and attention that go into photo shoots, sometimes they just don’t turn out well. (I mean, have you ever seen a less-attractive shot of Ryan Gosling than the one above?) Here’s a gallery of 14 shots (mostly from the 90s, surprise surprise) that could have been executed better. Hindsight is always 20/20, but in the case of these photos, couldn’t someone have seen they were disastrous ideas from the start?
So bad. But so good. These definitely gave me some belly laughs, and I wish I’d had them around on Monday morning to get me out of my funk! Check out even more shots over at the source. [via Buzzfeed]
What do you think of these photos?

So male celebs never take awful pics?
WTF?
Google Jack Nicholson at the beach…and it tops ANY of these.

@galadrial@xanga - he just takes bad pictures because he’s overweight, where most of the celebrities she posted normally take good photos, but had a mishap with the photos above. she probably could have included more guys though.
most of these are just indicative of the year they were taken. they are pretty bad, but so were many of the photos, hairstyles and clothes of that time. we’ll look back in ten or twenty years and ask ourselves why we were caught dead in a certain top. the madonna one scared the crap out of me, though. why are you eating fish with your legs spread like that? and on a diving board? i don’t follow the logic.

The 90′s were the worst for everything.

ohh the 90s. let’s never look back.

@x0_electric_kiss@xanga - ”More guys”? When I looked, there was ONE.
And you think the fact that he’s 70 doesn’t have bearing? Because I think the oldest of these is MAYBE 30….

Can you guys quit it with the photo gallery bullshit? It’s such a royal pain in the ass.

@FuhkAwf@xanga - Not to mention, some captions would help. Come on, Lovelyish, don’t half-ass this stuff.

Ew, Jennifer Lopez jelly.

@galadrial@xanga - if you read what i wrote, i said she COULD HAVE included more guys, which means she didn’t include as many as i think she should have. i didn’t say she DID include more guys. and i realize he’s older. i don’t think he should be included in the conversation because these are photo shoots that went badly, while the photos you’re talking about are paparazzi shots that make a lot of people look bad.

@FuhkAwf@xanga - Yes! WHY does it have to be a photo gallery???

@skinny_biitch_xo@xanga - @blackspiders@xanga - @FuhkAwf@xanga - Right?!

I actually kind of like a few of them.

Ugh… Jennifer Lopez as the oil slick angel. When would you ever want to meet an angel that looks like it just came out of the womb? I find it hysterical that her face isnt shiny…I expect her angel wings should be dripping too. Bleh!
