Still up there more than a week after the Oscars. Theories?

2. Poor Eddie looks like he just stumbled out of the gutter.
Photos can do that to you at the wrong moment.

3. Tell me that isn't EDDIE! OMG! Is that his dentures he's holding?
He hasn't aged gracefully. My favorite 80s guitarist (well, except for SRV). Certainly a heart throb to us girls of the 80s.

:cry:

5. Because Eddie Van Halen, in that photo,
looks like he is about to bite into someone's skull while muttering, "Brains...brains...brains..."

Jesus. He looks like something that attacked Tokyo in a movie I saw once.
