Ah, how often we forget that celebrities are actually “real” people, much like we are, and how grafitying it can be to see them doing normal things like going to the gym, buying coffee, and wearing hats to try and disguise just how normal they are.

Here’re the 5 Best Celebrities Without Makeup of 2011:

#5 – Sammi Giancola

So, right, I realize that she’s not technically without makeup, but compared to what she *usually* looks like, this is as bare-faced as it gets, guys.

#4 – Miranda Kerr

This one is kind of a given, because if you’re a Victoria’s Secret supermodel, you’re contractually obligated to look like this. OF COURSE she’s going to show up on the “good” side of this list somewhere.

#3 – Khloe Kardashian

Some of you probably think that it’s a joke, or a mistake, that Khloe ended up on this side of the post, but compared to her older drama queen sisters, Khloe-sans-makeup is refreshing enough to make you forget that she doesn’t look all that great in comparison to what she looks like with makeup. So in the paradox world of the Kardashians, that makes her look AMAZING in the real world.

#2 – Kirstie Alley

Here’s another one that might have you scratching at your head, but Kirstie here is included on the ‘Best’ list because she looks her AGE. And she goes out in public not really giving a f-ck about what people think about her face, and that’s probably more attractive than most of the plasticky people we talk about overall.

#1 – Jennifer Love Hewitt

Bitch please. Did you think you were going to escape 2011 without at least one more “I LOVE JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT” post?

Jump in for the worst!

Woo! Don’t you bet she’s just so excited? What, with that loser extortionist ex-fiance of hers being all locked up in jail for the rest of his life or something (I mean, wasn’t he stealing from the Vatican? How does one even pull that off?). She’s got to be completely thrilled that more options have opened up to her, and really, why not? Why not Anne? She’s as good as six Kardashians put together, and look how excited everyone got when Kim recycled her self-bought “engagement ring” from Reggie Bush! I don’t know about you guys, but Anne’s had a big, big year – and I think she’s got this whole A-list thing on lockdown.

Congrats, girl!

Yay! Anne Hathaway is engaged! Can you believe it?

She has been dating her now-fiancé, actor Adam Shulman, for three years. I know! It’s nuts! It’s like everyone totally forgot about him while he was busy being all supportive and loyal and steadfast or whatever. (Meanwhile, Hathaway’s jerk ex Raffaello Follieri has been stewing in prison.)

Hathaway describes this Shulman character as “mellow,” adding, “Mellow doesn’t always make for a good story, but it makes for a good life.”

And I have to agree with Anne, here: “mellow” does not make for a good story. I was excited for Miss Hathaway two paragraphs ago, and now I am falling asleep. Zzz. Of course, Emily was briefly convinced that Hathaway’s boyfriend is a Satanist. We can only hope! Cross your fingers!

Look who we found in New York, rocking the nude face! It’s Anne Hathaway, and she doesn’t exactly look all that happy to have her photo snapped! Why? Search me. Anne here has a perfectly lovely non-makeup’d face, and it’s nothing to hide. Maybe it has more to do with the whole “invasion of privacy” thing, but hey. What do I know about personal privacy anyway?

The bottom line is that it’s nice – really nice – to see a celebrity who’s not orange. And who’s not wearing dresses from defunct 90′s mall stores, too.

Hey girl! Long time no see! It’s good to see you out of that damned Catwoman costume, and in some real clothes, but this? This is what you’re choosing to siege our eyes with? Come on now. You could do so much better. That little one-piece bathing suit? LOVE. The couture dresses and the poofy hair? You rock it. This 5-7-9 dress, though, eh. Stick it back in Blossom‘s closet, wherever she may be, OK?

(I’d have that face, too, girl, if I had to talk to Chelsea Handler for more than thirty seconds. I feel your pain.)

From Interview:

CHELSEA HANDLER: Where are you?

ANNE HATHAWAY: I’m in Italy.

HANDLER: I just came from Venice. I just got back to L.A. yesterday.

HATHAWAY: Really? I’m in Positano.

HANDLER: Oh, you’re so lucky. Are you on vacation?

HATHAWAY: I am. I managed to steal a few days.

HANDLER: With your lover?

HATHAWAY: With my man, yes. This is one of my favorite places in the world.

HANDLER: Isn’t Positano ridiculous?

HATHAWAY: It’s ridiculous. It kind of reminds me of Southern California, but without strip malls and a bit more charm.

HANDLER: You can get a good strip mall put in there if it means that much to you.

HATHAWAY: I’m fighting for it actually. I’m petitioning. I’m like, “Here’s how you get Hollywood in Positano: You need a nail salon and a yogurt place . . . ”

HANDLER: Speaking of which, let’s talk about Jersey. I want to know your thoughts on being from New Jersey, and Jersey Shore, and how you think that show has helped our reputation as Jersey girls.

HATHAWAY: I think that Jersey Shore is awesome. I’ve gone to Cape May every summer of my life.

HANDLER: I’m talking about the show, Anne.
