I think Ryan looks really good. Jared looks like he's trying to be "Urban Amish" and goth at the same time. I would leave the eyeliner alone without the goth fashion to go with it. Paul....poor Paul. I guess we all can't look effortlessly good in everything like Ryan.

American Idol judge Simon Cowell may not have liked self-described "Urban Amish" singer Troy Benham, but it appears that Hollywood did, and wants to look just like him.
Recently spotted at Sundance, soon after the auditioner's performance on AI, the unshaven old timey religious look made a glorious comeback, as seen by such trend followers as Ryan Reynolds, Jared Leto, and Paul Rudd. The key to spotting this new trend: look for a young actor who hasn't shaved in about 20 days and is wearing really expensive clothes.
While the stars were not heard humming the Idol reject's made-up song that he performed for the judges (including the catchy lyrics "you can be mean to me...spit drips into my face"), we may look forward to more stars growing it out even further, rocking the curly sideburns, and barn-raising.
