David Beckham was looking distinctly silly recently at the BBC Personality of the Year award ceremony.

No, ladies, unfortunately you're not seeing things. David Beckham is bringing the butt cut back -- a look I'd hoped to never again see on the heads of ... well, anyone, let alone David. It didn't look good on him in the '90s ... and it certainly doesn't look good on him now.

But since it's the holidays, let's take a look back at the baddest butt cuts of yore, shall we?

My vote for Worst Butt Cut of all time goes to Jared Padalecki, who played Dean on Gilmore Girls. His butt cut was so bad, in fact, that my stepdaughters and I used to scream in horror each time he appeared with it on the scream.


Then there was Gary Cole in the movie Office Space. Ewwwwww.

Of course, we all knew guys in junior high and high school with butt cuts ... HATED IT.

But David Beckham isn't the only celeb sporting the butt cut these days. Another celebrity sports hero has made the look his own ...

That's right. Tom Brady. He and David Beckham really are like two peas in a pod, aren't they? In a ... butt-cut pod. Gross.

So what do you think of the return of the butt cut? Are you loving it or loathing it? Need I even ask?
