Ah, sunburn -- that great, go-to plot device of lazy screenwriters. With good reason, too: In comedy, there's little funnier than a fat guy -- say, John Candy -- turning lobster-red after falling asleep at the beach, or a drunk party hound frying on a roof in the blazing Vegas sun, a la The Hangover. In honor of midsummer, break out the Bain de Soleil and feast your eyes on this photo gallery, which calls out the top ten stars who've burned a bit too brightly on the big screen.
