\"Queen<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all been there. There\u2019s a big fat booger entrenched inside one of your nostrils, and if you don\u2019t shift it you\u2019re not even sure if you\u2019ll be able to breathe much longer. And let\u2019s be honest, if there isn\u2019t a handkerchief or a tissue to spare, there\u2019s only one option: like a call to action in a strike \u2013 pick it. The only thing is, in the glossier-than-glossy world of the celebrity, something at once so commonplace and taboo is funnier and more disgusting than ever. It doesn\u2019t matter that most of the population picks its collective sniffer. For a celebrity to do it, and worse to be caught doing it in public, amounts to a scandal as juicy as \u2013 well now let\u2019s see…<\/p>\n

Penelope Cruz<\/h3>\n

\"Penelope<\/p>\n

It\u2019s always even more embarrassing when the celebrity caught scratching at their snout is a lady \u2013 in this case Hispanic cinema diva Pen\u00e9lope Cruz. The multiple award-winning actress was here caught mid-scrape as she cruised for a booger clinging to her right nostril while at a 2004 movie premiere in Cannes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jake Gyllenhaal<\/h3>\n

\"Jake<\/p>\n

Star of critically acclaimed gay cowboy movie Brokeback Mountain<\/em> and other serious films, Jake Gyllenhaal is used to dealing with difficult issues \u2013 and he seems to be taking the one inside his left nostril in his stride here in 2005. We wonder whether he\u2019s giving the person on the other end of the line a running commentary.<\/p>\n

Pamela Anderson<\/h3>\n

\"Pam<\/p>\n

Pam Anderson is no stranger to allowing things normally left behind closed doors out into the public arena. But while there\u2019s certainly a massive market for stolen sex tapes, we\u2019re not sure the same can be said for photos of former Baywatch <\/em>stars cum Playboy<\/em> models picking their noses. Then again, if they dive in with the gusto of Pammy \u2013 snapped here in Malibu in 2006 \u2013 we might stand corrected.<\/p>\n

Tom Cruise<\/h3>\n

\"Tom<\/p>\n

Looks like everyone\u2019s favourite Hollywood scientologist was trying to charm the lovely Cameron Diaz by giving her the thumbs up… up his snout. Now we know the vertically challenged A-list star has had his moments, but this one from 2009 should count among them. At least Cameron \u2013 co-star of Wichita <\/em>, the movie they\u2019re currently filming \u2013 seemed impressed by whatever it was he was digging; shame it doesn’t appear to have been her.<\/p>\n

Hillary Clinton<\/h3>\n

\"Hilat<\/p>\n

It\u2019s comforting to know that the US Secretary of State has such a firm and penetrating grasp on the state of her nostril, in a television image from 2007. If it\u2019s any reflection on her knowledge of home affairs, the American people are in safe hands.<\/p>\n

Ethan Hawke<\/h3>\n

\"Ethan<\/p>\n

Hollywood big-hitter and ex-husband of Uma Thurman Ethan Hawke has certainly been round the block in the movie industry. Even so, here in 2005, the star of Gattaca <\/em>and Alive <\/em>can look as shifty as he likes beneath his baseball cap \u2013 he isn\u2019t going to get away with that surreptitious thumb pick with the prying eyes of the paparazzi taking pictures of him with a mystery blonde.<\/p>\n

Katie Price<\/h3>\n

\"jordan<\/p>\n

Ex-glamour model and mainstay of the British gossip magazines Katie Price is usually making the headlines for one reason or another, but with the stories usually focused on the gunk coming out of her mouth, and the cameras trained on other parts of her anatomy, it\u2019s almost a surprise that this covert little thumb pick got picked up.<\/p>\n

Kate Hudson<\/h3>\n

\"Kate<\/p>\n

Star of films such as Almost Famous<\/em> and You, Me and Dupree<\/em>, Kate Hudson was here spotted picking her way through the aisles of a clothing shop in Santa Monica back in 2006. We sure hope what the daughter of Goldie Hawn dug out was to the consumer\u2019s taste.<\/p>\n

Nicky Hilton<\/h3>\n

\"Nicky<\/p>\n

Nicky Hilton is more often getting upstaged by older sister Paris when it comes to shaming her family name though outrageous public displays of indecency, but the younger fashion model, socialite and heiress \u2013 shown here at a drugstore in Beverley Hills in 2005 \u2013 can also prove that money can\u2019t buy class.<\/p>\n

Ed Westwick<\/h3>\n

\"Ed<\/p>\n

Best known for his role in the American TV series Gossip Girl<\/em>, English actor and musician Ed Westwick was here caught in the act doing some heavy duty gold mining. We just hope he managed to excavate a 24-karat clingenberry. He deserves it after the effort he put in. Just look at that concentration!<\/p>\n

Michael Keaton<\/h3>\n

\"Michael<\/p>\n

Although his star seems to have long since fallen, Beetlejuice <\/em>and Batman <\/em>star Michael Keaton could probably have done without being snapped in Santa Monica plunging his pinkie into his proboscis \u2013 and at the table too! Manners, Michael!<\/p>\n

Lindsay Lohan<\/h3>\n

\"Lindsay<\/p>\n

Lindsey Lohan seems to have a habit of battling with her resident boogers, with other shots around of her doing the same. The paparazzi-pursued actress, model and pop singer is no stranger to controversy, but more often makes the headlines for what she puts up her nose than what she pulls out of it (now maybe there\u2019s a connection…). Here she was caught taking a plunge in Malibu sometime in 2006.<\/p>\n

Wilmer Valderrama<\/h3>\n

\"Wilmer<\/p>\n

Wilmer Valderrama once dated Lindsay Lohan, so maybe there was something in their mutual predilection for morsels from the muzzle that brought them together. Here, the star of That ’70s Show<\/em> and host of MTV series Yo Momma<\/em> is clearly enjoying himself as he gets stuck in with an index finger while sat an LA cafe back in 2004. Look at those eyes rolling. Sheer bloody ecstasy!<\/p>\n

Kelly Brook<\/h3>\n

\"Kelly<\/p>\n

English model, ‘actress’, sometime TV presenter and lads mag favourite Kelly Brook is well known for her stunning good looks and killer figure, but her beautiful veneer was besmirched somewhat when she was snapped making a decisive lunge for her nose with a well varnished finger while walking in LA in 2005.<\/p>\n

Matthew McConaughey<\/h3>\n

\"Matthew<\/p>\n

Hollywood actor Matthew McConaughey scored hits with movies like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days<\/em> and The Wedding Planner<\/em>, but the only thing the sportily dressed star looks likely to score in this photo \u2013 taken in Malibu in 2006 \u2013 is first prize in a booger picking contest. We’re routing for you Matthew!<\/p>\n

Mischa Barton<\/h3>\n

\"Mischa<\/p>\n

A successful actress Mischa Barton may be, but the Anglo-American star of US television series The O.C.<\/em> is not averse to showing off her skills in mining the dried mucus lining the inside of her nose, once again in public. Barton takes the lady-like approach, plumbing for a pinkie while out in West Hollywood in 2004. Let\u2019s hope she didn\u2019t get any booger in her burger. That\u2019s a relish we wouldn\u2019t relish.<\/p>\n

Steve Coogan<\/h3>\n

\"Steve<\/p>\n

The actor and comedian known to American audiences as that English guy from some movie or another is here more reminiscent of the alter ego for whom British audiences know him best \u2013 the un-PC and socially inept local media personality Allen Partridge. Here old Steve was caught well and truly green handed while making a point in LA in 2007.<\/p>\n

The Queen<\/h3>\n

\"Queen<\/p>\n

This one\u2019s from way back, but it\u2019s clearly a classic: Elizabeth II, the Queen of England, caught white-gloving her nostrils at a ceremony in 1996. Her Royal Highness has understandably kept mum about this public indiscretion, but it just goes to show \u2013 it doesn\u2019t matter how much money you\u2019ve got, you\u2019re never too rich to go digging for gold. How about that Queen ladies and gentlemen!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
