I swear I didn’t coordinate this list with the Maxim “Hot 100” list, they just happened to be stories I saw within a few minutes of each other. Apparently, in the UK, people actually conduct polls to see who has the “worst face” according to the British people. The people spoke, and they chose none other than Iggy Pop, above. He looks like a corpse, doesn’t he? Don’t get me wrong, he’s talented and crazy and authentic. And he’s so obviously never had anything done to his face, so that’s one thing to applaud, I suppose. The rest of the list is pretty obvious:
Iggy Pop, the punk rock star, is the celebrity with the ‘worst face’, according to a poll. The Stooges singer, 63, has landed the dubious honour thanks to his craggy visage, testament to his hard-living rock and roll lifestyle.
Pop – the face of Swiftcover insurance in recent months – finished just ahead of glamour model Jodie Marsh in a poll for The Good Surgeon Guide. Donatella Versace, the fashion designer, was placed third in the survey of more than 1,300 people across the UK who were asked which celebrity they thought had the ”worst face”.
The poll also found that many placed looks over achievements. Almost two-fifths of those questioned (39 per cent) admitted they respected beautiful celebrities more than successful celebrities.
Christiana Clogg, founder of The Good Surgeon Guide, said: ”It is sad to think that some people value appearance more so than talents and achievements.”
Top 10 worst faces according to the Good Surgeon Guide poll:
1. Iggy Pop
2. Jodie Marsh
3. Donatella Versace
4. David Gest
5. Cher
6. Pete Burns
7. Mickey Rourke
8. Jackie Stallone
9. Janice Dickinson
10. Melanie Griffith

I’m not quite sure who Jodie Marsh is (I think she’s some celebu-moron famous for nothing), but I agree with the rest of the list. One notable omission that I can think of is Priscilla Presley. How did her frozen, corpsey face not make the list? Meg Ryan could have made it too, although lately she looks like she’s been keeping the injections/Botox/fillers to a minimum.

GAH!
Iggy is scary……
I didn’t realize Melanie Griffith was looking that rough! What happened to her? I think Versace should of been at the top of the list.
omg !!!! bwahahahahahahahahh !!!
I am in stiches ! What a face and a body ! What kind of creature is this ? LOL
What about Jocelyn Wild? How did she not make this list???
Move Donatella Versace up higher on that list !! Saw her in person a couple years ago on a beach in the islands and … DAMN, she is the shit nightmares are made of!
Jocelyne Wildenstein should definitely be there at number one or at least a tie with Iggy !
Yuck! Why does he need to take his shirt off?
I said he was the ugliest thing alive YEARS ago! His body is just so… saggy!
This list is hilarious. Just the mention of David Gest’s name makes me burst out laughing. Those brows!
63??!!?? He’s looking ROUGH for 63…
Jennifer Aniston looks really bad these days.
Ahh poor Iggy!
Leave the man alone, he has earned that face and is living life!
Iggy looks like his face caught on fire and someone put it out with a chain.
Iggy could add worst body to that too.
Only one i disagree with would Be Cher, but then I adore her.
wtf happened to Melanie Griffith? She could be the poster image for reasons NOT to alter your lips, my word she looks awful.
worst EVERYTHING if you ask me. double dose of yuck.
LOL Leek, true!
Yikes.
I would have thought Shane Macgowan would have easily been #1. Definitely much uglier than Iggy. I know Shane’s not a big celebrity in the US but he’s well known in England.
@Paige – I just googled Shane Macgowan. YIKES!!!!! WTF happened to his teefs?
This is a British list. They don’t know who Jocelyne Wildenstein is.
@ Leek: LOL!! Accurate description.
Iggy’s been fugly for years, bless his rockin old heart.
I disagree with Cher being on the list, I don’t think she’s that bad. And Priscilla Presley SHOULD have been on there, her face is a WRECK!! I didn’t realize Melanie Griffith had gotten that bad. She was never a great beauty, but DAY-UM, she looks like someone punched her (HARD) in the upper lip – why is it all puffy and swollen like that? Yikes.
Cher? Seriously? I admit I wish she hadn’t had plastic surgery or her teeth straightened as she was much prettier naturally. However, she is not ugly and in no way does she fit in with this group!
I do agree that Jocelyn W (the cat lady) should be included in the group that would discourage people from so much face altering. Dear Carol Burnett and others have had way to much plastic surgery and have altered their faces when they no longer look like themselves, don’t look natural or even look scary. I wish we would all agree to age naturally and with grace. Then no one would feel the need to go under the knife.
I don’t see the need in making a list of ugly people as that is just mean. However, it proves that we are so consumed with our looks that people go to such lengths they end up making growing old worse than it would have been.
Can you image what Heidi Montag could do to herself by the time she reaches 40? I pity these poor girls that believe they are only worth their looks and I wish the people that make them feel this way and the ones that perpetuate the notion will look bad enough to take the top spot onn this list.
ugh .. i just threw up, hmmm .. looks just like his body (lol)
Doesn’t he play in “Legend of the Seeker”?
He looks like Nosferatu. That movie scared the sh*t out of me when I saw it. The vampire in that movie would eat Robert Pattinson’s Edward for lunch.
Hey hey HEY! Iggy Pop earned that face! It’s a miracle he’s even alive with the stuff he’s taken. (Of course, the only reason so many people are aware of him in the UK is because he fronts adverts for Swiftcover Insurance. So, you know, the rebel shills for an insurance company. Bah.)
And THIS is Jodie Marsh: http://www.awfulplasticsurgery.com/category/jodie-marsh/
She’s basically a lower-budget version of Jordan/Katie Price, with whom she has a long-running feud in which they both call each other cheap sluts and so forth.
Yeah, we’re proud of our girls.
Iggy does not belong on the list with the people who willingly turned themselves into hatchet-faces. Ig is natural and rocks.
Tom Cruise’s Lestat could eat Robert Pattinson’s Edward for lunch.
@Bella Mosley, I also don’t think Cher belongs on the list. She does look like a wax figure from Madame Tussaud’s. But, she’s a pretty wax figure.
#18
Everyone knows who Jocelyne Wildenstein is, including the British people.
She is a European citizen. She is Swiss, born and raised and is francophone just like her former husband Wildenstein a wealthy French Jewish.
The Wildenstein family are art amateurs and have been selling art for centuries. They began to put some of their collection in art gallery in new-York and London during the last century but they are very much Europeans and many family members are still raised in Europe (mainly London or Paris), getting college education at the famous Sorbonne, ect.
Jocelyne still often goes to London and Paris for parties and fashion shows. She has housing there.
Honestly, I can tolerate Iggy’s face – but that rotisserie chicken body – ICK! NAST! LOL
@Meme it’s so true! The vampire brothers of “The Vampire Diaries” as well as all the vamps on “True Blood” could also make a nice meal out of sparkles.
@bee – sparkles sucks.
meme: I think it was a case of too much alcohol & drugs combined with a complete absence of oral hygiene of any kind. The stuff of nightmares…..
@Paige – then i guess KEEF richards took care of his teefs because NO ONE has done more drugs and alcohol than KEEF and his teefs look ok (though they are probably fake)
LAY OFF IGGY!
Despite the copious amounts of chemicals he’s ingested over the years, the man is all natural and doesn’t deserve to be lumped in with the rest of those plastic freaks. (All due respect, Cher.)
Ugly as sin, sure, but au natural.
And charismatic as hell.
And probably smarter than 90% of this board (myself included).
Doesn’t that count for something?!
(On a completely superficial level – rumor on the street is he’s packing a giant . . . “friend”. It’s hard to get friendly with just a face. . .)
I love you, Iggs. No matter what the haters say. . .
iggy’s looked like that forever and every wrinkle that graces his body he’s earned the hard way — not paying some knife-happy doctor tens of thousands to hack away.
rock on, iggy.
At least he did something culturally significant–being a huge influence on both the early American and British punks.
I am more offended by the flesh of Heidi Montag and the others on the list–and of course Jocelyn Wildenstein, MJ and FF who all destroyed their face in the pursuit of eternal youthful looks.
And he is still rocking!
You know, this list is just cruel. Enough said.
I have loved Iggy forever. He’s smart and outrageous. I don’t really think he belongs on the list. He doesn’t have the worst face, just a wrinkled face.
Good LORD I can’t believe Iggy is only in his early 60’s. If that face doesn’t send a message about staying away from drugs, I don’t know what does.
I can’t care how talented Iggy Pop is, he’s fucking disgusting.
how about the catwoman? i dont know the name but one who looked like a scarred donatella versace?
also shauna sand should be in the list too.
Wait, has Iggy had surgery at all? If not, atleast he kept it natural, he looks alright for an old dude, he just needs to keep his shirt on. It’s the faces he’s making, are just silly, lol. I agree with lots of people about MJ and Priscilla Presley. I WAS about to say Mickey Rourke, but he’s there, lol. I think Cher looks pretty normal. You never know, Madonna might be on this list soon, she looks too puffy on the face. :/ But you know, that’s the damn pressure of being supposedly “hot and beautiful” in Hollywood and sadly, not everyone ends up with the result of beauty, it only looks bad and worse.
He looks like a “stereotypical” wizard from a movie. He looks great & active rocking & fit! Good for him…Really
I couldn’t place the face, it looked so familiar, and then I realized: it’s the Grinch from Dr. Suess!
at least Iggy is the real thing and looks this way due to the natural process of ageing (plus a few drugs thrown in). the others have no excuse. poor donatella. why did she ever do that to herself. sad sad sad. where is jocelyn wildenstein and joan rivers. Sly stallone and william shatner look pretty weird too.
First saw Iggy and the Stooges back in the late 70s. Love, love, love him! And especially the fact he doesn’t give a d*mn what people think about his wrinkles. I’m sick of the botoxed and tucked rock stars.
@Lenore – Wow, that link should come with a health warning! I’m from the UK too so am unfortunately familiar with the horror that is Jodie Marsh…but jeez, attention whore or not, what possesses someone to go out in public wearing just a belt around their boobs?
He’s an old school rocker. Do you think he gives a shit? PS: I love this guy! He’s classic.
Iggy’s the only person on that list who hasn’t had extensive cosmetic surgery (he’s had some corrective work done)…other than that, all the other names have had, IMHO, TOO much work done…
might as well (pun intended) face it, no-one (except the late and lovely Lena Horne and the still alive Betty White) stays cute forever…
No Steven Tyler or Mick Jagger?? And, the Catwoman, Jocelyn Wildenstein, is the worst face on the planet.
OMG…!!!
Thebutlerdidit – LUCKY!
For those in the know – Iggy always has, and always will perform shitless. It’s been his MO since the very beginning. I’ve read/heard interviews that Jim/Iggs was inspired by Egyptian Pharaohs who emulated Amun-Ra by addressing their subjects shirtless. The man is nothing if not intelligent.
So Iggy’s wrinkled and old and shirtless. How offensive!
Get used to it. You will be too, one day. (We should all be so lucky. . .)
i love Iggy and would do ’em if i could, but can someone please tell him to put his shirt on.
First place: Donatella Versace!!
His face just looks kinda old. Not like these other plastic freaks. Whatever, I’d do him.
