Since Klein is the second of three children, you'd think his older sister might have had a say in his styling. Unfortunately for this American Pie star, this unforgivable center part was captured on film in his senior year photo at Millard West High School in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1997. Since then, he's cleaned up nicely.

Before he was a honky-tonkin' American country music star, Georgia native Alan Jackson made a bad bowl cut look good. This gospel-inspired crooner had enough talent and good looks to overshadow a goofy 'do. Or maybe it's the hat.

Ann, we've got you now! This over-the-ear shag may have been a functional fad at her high school in New Canaan, Connecticut, but it's definitely a cringe-worthy cut looking back. While this conservative political commentator and author can't deny her faux pas hair, she still manages to deny her birthdate as being 1961 (as stated on a past driver's license). Whether you're one, two, or even three years older, Ann, you certainly don't look it!

Before Guns N' Roses, Axl Rose, a.k.a. William Bailey, rocked a sleek and shiny bowl cut. In Indiana back in 1978, he had a lot less to head-bang than he does now. Rose just had to keep his locks in line for the Guns N' Roses induction ceremony into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April 2012.

Brad Pitt in a bowl cut! Who would have thought this A-list hottie could sport some seriously androgynous hair? But then again, here he is in 2012 with another unisex look.... Luckily for Pitt, he looks good in anything.

Back in 1984, Schwimmer had one flat-looking bowl cut. While it may have been appropriate for his square personality on the hit TV show Friends, his hair seems to have found some lift since then.

We know this guy must have a sense of humor about this bowl cut blunder. Here's Fallon in his senior year at Saugerties High School in Saugerties, New York, in 1992, before he hit it big on Saturday Night Live. Funnyman Fallon had some seriously funny hair back in the day, but his comedy earnings have clearly bought him a better look.

Judging by his senior year high school photo, Heder's role as a goofy-looking and -acting high school student in Napoleon Dynamite might not have been a stretch. Here in 2012, Heder's hair is more closely cropped and he looks a lot less Napoleon, a lot more Dynamite!

As an awkward freshman at Wasilla High School, Palin looked disheveled and dowdy, with a questionable haircut. By 1984, Palin had cleaned up her cut and won the Miss Wasilla beauty pageant and then went on to place third in the Miss Alaska pageant! She won Miss Congeniality and a college scholarship, proving that she had beauty and brains, or maybe it was the perfectly coifed blowout.
