Pale Stars

Reader Comments

• 76. Every time I see Priscilla Presley these days, I cringe. I wonder what she sees when she looks in the mirror because she certainly looks freakish on this side of the screen. I feel bad that any woman would feel she would have to go to such lengths...and look where it got her. She went from beautiful to absolutely hideous. I wonder what Elvis would think...

• 77. I have red hair and I absolutely, 100% cannot tan. Even wearing SPF 50 in the shade I get burnt. My burns don't fade to tan, they just go back to white. I think it's lame to pick on people with fair skin for being white. But whatever, we will look amazing and young as we get older while our sun worshiping contemporaries will look like my leather purse.

• 78. Julianne Moore? Um...surely you jest! I am also a NATURAL redhead, and a few hours in the sun gives us nothing but burnt skin. You mean you are not smart enough to figure THAT much out? Wow. Sad. And, when all these lovely "tanned" people are looking like a horse saddle, we will still have our smoother looking faces. Tanned does not necessarily mean better by any means.

• 79. I love how Marilyn is molding Evan into Dita. Best thing she did was kick him to the curb and keep on burlesquin'.

• 81. I find it funny that not only Marilyn Manson is on this list, but 3 of his exs. Dita Von Teese, Rose McGowen, and Evan Rachel Wood. He is turning them to the light side!

• 82. I'm loving all of the praise for pale skin, but I regret to inform all of you that redheads do indeed tan if the conditions are right. I am a redhead and if I put on a ton of sunscreen I won't burn, but I will get a light tan. My arms, which have been bare for most of the Summer currently have a medium tan. That being said, there is nothing wrong with pale skin, I think tanned redheads like Lilo look horrible! Your skin shouldn't match your hair...and I'll be laughing in 30 years when my skin still looks nice while theirs is all spotty and gross ;)

• 83. Someone should tell Marilyn that he's too old for that.

• 84. All of the people cited are English, Irish, Scandinavian origin; they are supposed to be pale!! I love being myself, and I am happy to say that as a 38 year-old after little years of tanning, that I have fewer wrinkles than many other people my age. I do not know why in this country, people are expected to tan themselves to death or to paint themselves a ghastly orange. It's ludicrous!

• 85. Fair is beautiful, not everybody likes to look like burnt toast. Or worse, orange Oompa Loompa. I'm proud of the paleness of my skin and stay away from the Sun as much as I can. It's healthier too!

• 87. Yeah, this is a pretty sad post. Marilyn Manson is the only one I would think of as being TOO pale. The rest of these people are beautifully comfortable in their natural skin. No fake tans needed! We're having a skin cancer epidemic. Do you think this helps things, TMZ?

• 88. Ripping on people's skin colour is technically racist you know. I'm pale and i look a hell of a lot better than all those over tanned leathery faced freaks in hollywood! Leave pale people alone you a holes.

• 89. My boyfriend just had surgery for skin cancer from sun exposure. Now he will start 3 months of chemo. I would think its pretty irresponsible on your part to convey that anyone should be tanning unless its a spray on tan. Seems to me these stars are the smart ones!

• 90. Mocking people's natural skin color is stupid and offensive. Would you do the same to naturally dark complexioned people?
