Beards of the red carpet: Seth Rogen

It's hard not to like a comic mind as sharp as Seth Rogen. He gave some of the funniest performances of 2007, excelling in such roles as accidental father/stoner and slacker cop. Wait -- he was acting in those movies right? Or will he wake up this afternoon with a post-Oscars hangover and hit the bong as he dines on a breakfast of goldfish crackers?

While he probably doesn't care -- since I think his slacker look is somewhat genuine -- he's dangerously close to having a Bob Ross attack. As we've seen with Adrian Grenier, the combination of curly hair plus a beard can get our of control really fast. The and glasses help make him look a bit more respectable -- far better than Jonah Hill's bow tie. If he would trim back that fro, I think the beard would look good -- but as it stands, were on beard alert level 3 (of 5).

I know Seth is kind of building a brand here. Still, it's never a great idea to advertise yourself as a one dimensional pot-head in front of a group of potential employers. So, it would probably be a good idea to clean up nice for a prestigious award show like the Oscars, right? Not for Seth, he's a rebel. Or he's showing Canadian lumberjack pride. Take your pick.
