Wrinkle Wrinkle Little Star

Welcome to the second installment of Wrinkle Wrinkle Little Star: When Bad Things Happen To Probably Perfectly Nice Albeit a Little Vain People.

Let us focus on Botox this week, shall we? Because, well, is that plastic in your head or are you just happy to see me?

Hmm, I think I may smell an eye lift as well here.

More after the jump! Plus, an extra special Bonus Feature. Because I'm feeling generous...

Catherine Zeta Jones

Marcia Cross and Sharon Stone

Nicole Kidman and Cher (as if that's a surprise)

Rose McGowan (something else is wonky too. Perhaps a face lift?)

BONUS FEATURE!

John Travolta's hair transplant:

That's gotta hurt.

Next week... FACE LIFTS! You will never believe who was outed.

Sharon Stone's eyes scare me.

[Liana]

I think Rose McGowan was SO MUCH prettier before!!

Also, the whole concept of an eye lift scares me. So much can go wrong...once on TV I saw this documentary about a woman who got an eye lift (and other work done) and after that she couldn't close her eyes the whole way! She had to get MORE work done to fix it. Yikes.

Oh and Botox? IS JELLYFISH POISON. Seriously. People are willingly having POISON injected into their faces, just to avoid wrinkles. Something is very, VERY WRONG.

Botox is actually botulism toxin - a bacteria which paralyzes facial muscles. I remember when my mom used to tell me not to pick dented cans at the grocery store or I'd get botulism. Hunh.

I am not sure if Catherine Zeta Jones had Botox or if it's just the lighting in that second pic that makes her forehead look smoother...but Courtney Thorne-Smith and Rose McGowan have both DEFINITELY had work done and it doesn't look right on either of them. Thorne-Smith's eyes are a completely different shape than they used to be, and Rose McGowan honestly looks like she had a stroke. She ruined her face. And what is she, like 31? 32? Shame.

John Travolta's hair is ewwwy. Maybe it's a wig for a movie?? please??

[Mindy]

That's wig tape showing on the close-up of Travolta's scalp... seen it before on Tyra Banks' head.

Botulism toxin IS from jellyfish. And TOXIN means POISON, either way.

[Maxine Dangerous]

My dad had Botox for an eye condition (something about not being able to keep one of them open involuntarily) and now his eyes look creepy. Less creepy than they did when he first had it done a couple months ago, but still effin' scary. I kind of want to run around in my best "Soylent Green is people!" voice and yell about Botox being poison. AND IT'S IN MY DAD'S HEAD.

[Lena]

It is true: John Travolta did not have hair transplanted. No, he is actually wearing a WIG instead.

*shudder*

I think Rose McGowan had a car accident where her glasses sliced open the area around one of her eyes. I think that's why they look a little wonky.

[Tamara]

I think J is right, I think I read that on Go Fug Yourself that she had kind of a traumatic car accident.

[Amanda]

Huh? Jellyfish?? Botox is made from botulinum toxin, a toxic bacteria, not from jellyfish toxins. It has nothing to do with jellyfish.

It looks like Courtney also got her teeth done, which adds to her new plastic appearance.

[The Muse]

Yeah, I think that CZJ is in professional photo-shoot lighting versus a press-conference style lighting in her photos. That's not to say that she hasn't had work done, but it's not nearly as obvious as some of the others (*cough* Sharon Stone *cough*).

And I heard that with Rose McGowan, the "car accident" was a cover-up for her botched face-lift. I think the lift was a result of her losing too much weight too quickly (check the fullness around her jawline and neck area from the 1st photo), so she wanted to go in and touch-up. But it was too severe, so her PR fabricated a car accident to give it merit... but who knows?

And as far as where the Botulism Toxin comes from, it is indeed a bacteria that is often found in poorly-handled meat products. (Which is how it got its name -- "botulism" comes from the Latin word "botulus" which means "sausage" so botulism toxin = sausage poison.) (Yes, I took Latin in high school and love etymology.)
