Celeb Statues Weirder Than That Lucille Ball One
This may sound like an awful thing to say, but "eek!" is the first thought that comes to my mind when looking at this recently erected celebrity statue of Lucille Ball. No disrespect to the artist, but this odd rendition is not at all how I recall the raucously funny red-headed comedienne's appearance. Apparently, I'm not alone in my assessment of the statue — one, Gawker referred to as drunk and leering, and two, town's residents want it gone ASAP, which is completely understandable. But I wonder if they've aware that, on a scale of 1 to 10, the Lucille Ball statue actually isn't the strangest celebrity statue on the planet. Take for example the completely nude statue of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez, which in my opinion, represents the height of a celebrity statue creepiness. And Ball's statue is nowhere near as strange as the nude statue of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie that supposedly "inspires sexual healing."
Anyway, I totally get how fans would get more than prickly over their favorite celebrities being maimed in the name of artistic remembrance, but these 9 other insane celebrity statues totally prove that this Lucille Ball sculpture is far from the weirdest:
Lady Gaga
This statue's a bit strange, even for Gaga.
Steve Jobs
One person's artistic interpretation is another person's total befuddlement.
Aaaand, this one's pretty strange too.
Colin Firth
Oof. This is one huge fiberglass faux pas.
Michael Jackson
I thought it was strange to construct a Michael Jackson statue in a McDonald's parking lot, however that was nothing compared to this odd MJ statue that was apparently so hated that the owner had it removed. Yikes.
Marilyn Monroe
The pose is iconic, but for obvious reasons it just doesn't work on a 26-foot statue.
Johnny Depp
Who's this strange-looking fellow? Certainly not Johnny Depp.
Pete Doherty
Doherty's not the first rock star to be compared to a god, but this one's downright weird.
