Obviously, it's not a surprise that celebrities have plastic surgery on a hourly basis.
It doesn't matter whether you're in LA or the quiet English suburbs, there is no escaping the horrors of Botox and facelifts that so many of our favorite celebrities have voluntarily endured.
This past week has been particularly bad on the celebrity plastic surgery front, as, most noteably, Rupert Everett revealed his brand new face. And, Jesus Almighty, what the fuck did he do to it?!?
I mean, SERIOUSLY. Yes, he had some wrinkles before, but Rupert is
(was) a very, very attractive man. I love seeing men with crow-lines
and salt and pepper hair. It's natural. Men look fantastic as they age
(as long as they're not being unhealthy and, well, are Mel Gibson) so it absolutley breaks my heart that Rupert would do this to
himself.
If you watch him talking on The Martha Stewart Show, it doesn't look quite as bad. But there are certain angles and especially still photos of him where it looks like someone else.
Someone like...Trey McDougal.
Before The Daily Mail kindly posted photos this week of a 20-year-old nude Madonna, I didn't really believe that Madonna and her daughter Lourdes were related. But, 20-year-old Madonna is totes a spitting image of 14-year-old Lourdes, which makes you wonder just how much surgery Madge has had.
The Guardian posted numerous photos of "stars that never age", including Jennifer Aniston (nose job, "doesn't like Botox") Kylie Minogue (smoothest forehead on earth, "doesn't like Botox" either) and then Madonna. They showed the differences between 1985 Madge and 2009 Madge, and it's just really depressing. Like, Meg Ryan Trout Pout depressing.
The tabloids this week are aflame with news that Katie Price has had more plastic surgery as her face looked blotchy, or fuller or something, and she's flat-out denied it.
Jessica Simpson is also rumoured to have had her lips done. (Again.)
It's just ridiculous and out of control, isn't it? Our plastic surgery culture has always been horrific and distasteful, but when well known actors like Meg Ryan and Rupert Everett completley change their face, things are completely out of control.
What is so wrong with showing your age?? Even a little? I don't care if you have Botox every once and a while, but for fuck sake, Rupert, you look like a different person, not even a younger version of yourself.
