• 48. This is the rudest thing I have ever seen. Do you think this funny? I have suffered from acne all my life, and it sucks. It is not funny at all. Think before you make fun of a medical condition, it is not cute and it is hurtful. This is soooooooooooooo distasteful.

• 49. !#$?@ YOU TMZ, I used to think it was all so funny, but your so ignorant, delete this stupid bunch or pictures and hopefully even you entire site. Why dont you ask your "viewers" and once upon a time "fans" what they think of these kinds of posts, and hell, even of your whole faculty. Ask em if they approve of most of your $?#@! of these rude posts, and of the people behind em. Bet you wont like the results.

• 50. As a 17 year old female, who lives in AZ, hot, dry, dirty climates, I know acne, I have acne and sometimes I have bad breakouts, painful, nasty breakouts, but I take comfort in the fact that, hey, so does everyone else, I mean kids in middle school and high school telling other kids their gross because they have acne is one thing. there dumb kids who are very insecure and mislead on the truth about acne. But TMZ, not that your really respectable, but I thought you stood up to all the dumb bullies in the world, but I have been stupid, you are not. Your just DUMB, MEAN, BULLIES to the rich and famous. Wanna know why? Cause you all WISH you could be them! You are just a room full of insecure kids with a TV show and a website and a bunch of creepy ruthless camera jerks.

• 51. OMG! TMZ, are you freaggin SERIOUS??!!! WTF are you even thinking making fun of ACNE? EVERYONE, at one time or another, has DEFINITELY suffered a pimple, or two or even some serious, and PAINFUL, mind you, Acne breakouts. I mean, ok, they are real, they are not perfect as some think, good maybe this will stop people from trying to be perfect, no one can possibly be. And no matter age, hygienic routine or habits, you cant prevent nor control acne, ever. I mean and seriously, the majority of those people you put up there are under thirty, some even still teenagers!!!!!

• 56. too much make up can produce skin problems, so acne in a batch of people who wear it constantly isn't much of a surprise. Even models have been known to have jacked up skin. Where's the news?

• 57. I honestly don't think there is a person on the planet that hasn't suffered with a pimple or to in their lifetime!! The only difference is that for 85% of us we are not photographed incessantly and heaven forbid they should look less than perfect!!. As for Red Buttons I think indeed he should get that spot checked, being an Aussie and living in a country that has the unfortunate title of "The Melanoma Capital of the world" (which is skin cancer) he certainly looks like he has one, if left untreated can and will kill.

• 58. I have Rosacea, and develop a tolerance to the constant topical lotions I have to put on my face religiously. I can't tolerate certain antibiotics, either. It's no fun having zits or rosacea, it's not funny, either. Tell me none of the scum at TMZ have ever had acne of some degree and I'll show you a group of liars! It's good to know that celebrities are not perfect. I think they look great, anyway. We all have bad days, but to celebrate in someone else's just tells how insecure some people feel about themselves. I think they look great au naturale as well as in make up.

• 59. TMZ, You are sooo rude and crude. People get acne, SO WHAT! You think celebs arent like normal people. Acne isnt always that easy to get "rid of". Geez, stop picking on people!

• 60. I just love how some people think that any and every case of acne "can be controlled", that if you just "take care of your skin", then you'll have little or no acne. This just shows some people's total ignorance on the matter. Hormones, genetics, food sensitivities/allergies, sensitivity to environmental contaminants, can all (individually, or in some more unfortunate cases, combined) cause and/or aggravate acne. And not all of these are within a person's control, or even predictable for that matter. And it's definitely not something that everyone "grows out of". On the one hand, it *is* somewhat heartening to see that even celebrities who are often portrayed as "perfect" have some of the same problems as the rest of us, but on the other hand, seeing a bunch of uninformed morons on a message board make juvenile jokes about a condition that ruins many people's social lives and self-esteem just makes me wish the same problem upon all of them.
