“Help I can’t move my face!” … that was the headline that caught my eye.
Radar Magazine recently published an article on Hollywood celebs who were taking cosmetic rejuvenation and plastic surgery to extremes.
The cover features a Nicole Kidman-like Barbie doll in a couture evening gown with a frozen expression on her face. For years now, there has been debate over the fact that perhaps Nicole’s perfect alabaster skin might not be simply attributed to her Irish ancestors, but to a few trips to her favourite cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon. It’s obvious that Nicole has denied that she’s had any work done … leaving the door wide open for public interpretation (i.e.: she’s lucky to be aging so well).
For this revealing interview, Radar Magazine got the scoop from Hollywood insiders like casting directors and A-list doctors.
A few other celebs that appear on the list of “did they do it?” includes Meg Ryan, Demi Moore, Angelina Jolie, Jessica Simpson, Kenny Rodgers, Cher, Kate Jackson (original Charlie Angel) and Mickey Rourke.
One of the most interesting angles about this article is the fact it explores the cost of seeking perfection in Hollywood. They highlight the fact that Meg Ryan’s career took a serious nosedive after she had some lip enhancement. Really, Meg Ryan was one of the top actresses in Hollywood a decade ago and we’ve not seen her at all in any recent successful flicks.
One of the worst career moves has got to be Jennifer Grey going under the knife. Grey played Baby in “Dirty Dancing”. She hated her nose so much that she got an operation that radically transformed her face … to the point where no one recognized her and casting directors turned her away because they WANTED to see the same woman who helped make that movie such a smashing hit.
Parting notes: It’s true that most of us don’t rub shoulders with the Hollywood celebs and might not have the type of pressures they do to look perfect all the time. That said, I’ve noticed a number of women who sometimes get too much injections instead of looking “younger”. It’s really hard not to miss it because there’s something very unnatural about the way they look.
From my numerous interviews and discussions with some of the top cosmetic dermatologists and plastic surgeons, the key is to look like a “fresher” version of yourself and not like someone else. To achieve that … it’s a fine balance in the art of not giving into excess.
Welcome to the Dollhouse is a fascinating three-page article that’s well worth the time for anyone who has ever considered cosmetic enhancement.
Here’s something a lot of us will get a kick out of: the before and after pictures of a lot of Hollywood celebs who seemingly look perfect today.
