i dunno i think they are real. these are paparazzi taken photos, catching them out in public with no make up. i know matter of fact that most of them are real, if u ever watch before they were stars, or e! true hollywood story, they show these pics of these people before they became famous and that is the exact look! i was thinking today to show a picture of myself with no make up and then with make up to show how dfferent it looks. just cuz they are stars dont mean they are beautiful, thats why they have PROFESSIONALS to put their make up on and make them beautiful.... thats wat i think anyway.
