We’re fairly sure that Brad Pitt is a little embarrassed by the haircut he had when he was fourteen. He’s pictured above with his high school basketball team “The Rejects.” He does share a resemblance with his little girl Shiloh, who might want this haircut and outfit if she sees this photo. Shiloh recently asked to have her bedrooms in New Orleans and LA painted blue – no more yellow for her.

This should be a consolation to all high school girls who assume they will never grow up to be glamorous. In 2002, Gossip Girl star Blake Lively attended Burbank High School and she had not yet blossomed into the leading lady she was to become. However, she WAS a cheerleader so the spark was there. With the help of her orthodontist, she went on to become not only a TV and movie star, but the face of Chanel – perhaps the most envied accomplishment of all.

Yikes! Kathy Griffin wasn’t exaggerating when she said she’s had tons of plastic surgery! We just saw these photos of Kathy from her 1976 yearbook and we wouldn’t have recognized her in a million years! Teenage Kathy was a cheerleader in high school and we’re betting she was loads of fun, but she was no beauty queen. When she was 26 she got her first nose job and started the self – improvement ball rolling. We have to give her credit for making herself over – at 51 she looks much better than she did as a teen!

It turns out two highly newsworthy celebrities happened to go to high school together. Chaz Bono and Jennifer Aniston. This photo was taken in 1987 in the locker room at New York’s High School of Performing Arts. We doubt that Jennifer was ever a “mean girl” so maybe the two were friends at that time.
We love to look at high school pictures of celebrities to see if they revealed “star quality” early on – or if they were late bloomers. Kirstie Alley was already quite beautiful when she was 16 (she looked a bit like Meg Ryan) but obviously didn’t know what to do with her very thick wavy hair so she cut it in a bowl cut. Or maybe she was aiming at the unfortunately popular “Dorothy Hamill wedge” cut. Either way it was a waste of Kirstie’s abundant hair.
Mary J Blige was a high school drop out, but recently a New York high school showed respect for her accomplishments by presenting her with an honorary high school diploma. Mary was flattered and immediately announced that she would be attending Howard University this fall in pursuit of a bachelors degree. Apparently she naively thinks that getting an education is simple and uncomplicated when you’re a celebrity! No cramming for tests or worry about grades is necessary. When the news was checked out with Howard University, school officials were embarrassed to admit that she had NOT been accepted as a student and in fact had not even applied for admission. Details! Details! Somehow we doubt that an “honorary high school diploma” would be enough to get into ANY college. Being a celebrity DOES open a lot of doors – does that include doors to a university?
We just can’t figure out how Halle Berry could look so much OLDER in her high school yearbook picture than she does now. She looked pretty, but SO mature. Was she heavier? Or is it just her hairstyle? Make up? This is a beauty secret the world would like to know.

American Idol finalist Adam Lambert must have felt like a million bucks when he went back to his high school for homecoming weekend. There was a parade and all kinds of festivities when Adam returned to his alma mater, Mount Carmel High School, in San Diego. The mayor even presented him with a plaque that said “Adam Lambert Day.” Adam was dazzled by the attention. We wonder if Adam was anywhere NEAR as popular in high school as he is now.
We’ve never been able to resist old high school yearbook photos- especially when they involve celebrities. Ryan Seacrest says he was a chubby kid and around fifty pounds overweight when he was 13. This is his class photo from Peach Tree Junior High School in Dunwoody, Georgia.

We are sick and tired of hearing beautiful actresses and models claim they were geeky and unpopular in high school. We’re not buying it. Anybody who went to high school with Angelina Jolie or Michelle Pfeiffer will probably tell you everyone was in awe of their beauty early on. If Eva Mendes ever tries to claim she was an average looking nerd in high school we intend to shut her up by showing this high school photo from Herbert Hoover High in Glendale, California. Pretty hot, don’t you think?
