Here's a great video tutorial on how to get the Megan Fox makeup look. In terms of Megan's beautiful appearance, the two most popular questions revolve around how to get her eyebrow look and also whether or not she's had a nose job.

Michael Jackson: Before and After

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 22:10:33 -0600

We've been reading a lot about Michael Jackson over the past day and this article at Slate.com is the best we've seen. They basically say Michael Jackson was committing suicide, albeit a slow suicide over many years. They talk about his painful childhood years and his rise to fame. They also mention his physical transformation;

... an entirely transfigured physical appearance, morphing from an engaging and handsome African-American man into a misshapen Eurasian woman; his skin bleached, his face re-sculpted; his nose, finally, needing to be practically taped onto his face. He left his race behind and, in a sense, his family too. (The nose, which seemed to have borne the brunt of his obsession with plastic surgery, was his father's.)

Check out their story of his life.

Celebrity Plastic Surgery via the National Enquirer

Wed, 27 May 2009 16:20:54 -0600

This week's issue of the National Enquirer has some very unflattering photos of several celebrities who are alleged to have had too much plastic surgery.

Two big surprises are Daryl Hannah, who looks as though she may have severly overdone the use of dermal filler in her cheeks and Kellie Pickler who looks as though she's had a very extreme brow lift.

Susan Boyle's Beautiful Makeup

Sun, 24 May 2009 15:40:28 -0600

Here's a video of Susan Boyle singing Memory in the semi final performance for Britain's Got Talent today, May 24th.

No Makeover for Susan Boyle Please

Sat, 18 Apr 2009 17:26:54 -0600

Susan Boyle, age 47, has wowed everyone with her beautiful voice and dramatic stage presence. And now that fame is imminent, people are asking if she is likely to get a makeover to look more like a star. Watch her sing here.

Amy Odell at The Cut says what if she didn't?

What if we accepted that not all famous people have to be stuffed into Spanx and plucked and whitened and highlighted and buffed and blinged and laden with makeup? What if we didn't try to turn her into Madonna? Can we let her remain famous just as she is?

The beautiful lyrics;

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high,
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.

Then I was young and unafraid

Octuplet Mom's Plastic Surgery

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 11:26:53 -0700

Octuplet mom, Nadya Suleman, is an Angelina Jolie look-alike and has almost surely had a nose job and lip augmentation.

This is the opinion of plastic surgeon Dr. Tony Youn . He writes;

I think she looks like a combination of Angelina Jolie and Alanis Morissette. Her lips are huge and may be the result of aggressive fat grafting. It's possible that people who have a large amount of fat grafted into their lips find their lips become excessively large when they become pregnant. Their tummy is not the only thing that grows! Her nose may also have had some work done, making it smaller and thinner than it was before. Without any "pre-surgical" photos, it's difficult to say for sure, but I think she's had both a lip augmentation and a rhinoplasty.

Mon, 09 Feb 2009 13:41:24 -0700

Congrats to Katie at Before and After TV. Her video tutorial on how to wave your hair to get the Britney Spears look was featured on the official Britney Spears channel.

Katie tells us she's had thousands of views since last night when her video was posted on Britney's official website.

A Girdle 'Secret' by Jessica Alba

Thu, 05 Feb 2009 09:40:25 -0700

Jessica Alba, age 27, has been wearing a girdle since giving birth.

“I wore a girdle,” Alba told Elle magazine for its March issue, when asked about how she looked slim after childbirth.

“Eight weeks after my girlfriend had her baby, you could see her six-pack,” Alba said. “She told me to put an elastic band around my waist — any kind of band or girdle works. She was like, ‘I slept in it.’ I didn’t recover as fast as she did. I don’t have a six-pack — that’s just not my body at all.”

Alba, 27, also talked about working out for a photo shoot for Club Campari’s annual calendar.

The workouts “were horrible,” she told Elle. “I cried. And I haven’t worked out since.”
