Scary Celebrity Beards

Ah, facial hair. While a bit of laid-back scruff - or even a full-blown beard - can be ultra-sexy on the right man, there are some who just shouldn't rock the beard. Like these guys...

PLUS: Check out these hotties, with and without their whiskers.





Conan O'Brien: "The Unemployment Beard"

On the one hand, we adore Coco's "I-don't-care" scruff. On the other, we're pumped for the fall debut of his new late-night show-which he's hinted at buzzing the beard for. Just so his pompadour remains intact!

Spencer Pratt: "The Creepy Flesh-Colored Beard"


Sure, it's as platinum-blond and tragic as Hulk Hogan's handlebar mustache. But the CF-CB is the least of this fame w----'s worries, what with his inflatable estranged wife and that whole magic crystals thing.

Zach Galifiniakis: "The Chewbacca"


We got a glimpse of him beardless when he hosted Saturday Night Live…and to be honest, it was kinda like seeing him naked. Maybe he should stay furry.

Carey Hart: "The Speck of Stray Food"
We just want to lick our thumb, grab Carey's face, make sure Pink's not looking, and wipe off that silly smudge under his bottom lip. (Thanks, Mom.)

Jason Reitman: "The Cover-Up"


Yikes. Just trust us on this one: There is a good-looking Oscar nominee underneath that forest of scruff. (We get just as frustrated when David Beckham wears a shirt.)

Emile Hirsch: "The Mutton Chops"


Dear Emile,
What is your address? We want to mail you some stuff you don't currently own but definitely should: an Oscar for your fearless performance in Into the Wild, the cell number of every girl on staff, and-oh! Um, a razor. We still think you're one of the hottest guys around, though.

Love,
Cosmo

Jayson Werth: "The Blotchy Beard"

Have you ever bought an at-home bikini-wax kit, given up after ripping off only two incredibly painful strips, and prayed that no one would see the hilarious bald patches until they grew in (do this for a flawless bikini line)? We've concluded that this Phillies All-Star did that to his face.

A.J. McLean: "The Recession Beard"
Thanks to the global female population, this smooth Backstreet Boy has been working steadily since 1993. So we know he can afford maintenance on an entire beard, not just chunks of it

Nicolas Cage: "Please Let This Be for a Role"
Jay Baruchel plays Nicolas' young protégé in their new flick, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, but could actually school Nic on the art of the subtle five o'clock shadow. (PS: How sexy does Jay-one of the red-eyed Knocked Up stoners-look with a skinny tie and some scruff?!)
