Debbie Harry Looks Amazing!

That's what I call plastic surgery done right!

Guess Who #42

Litzi got it!

Here's an Apple that Rolled Far from the Tree

Although, the expression is the same.

Ruprick Swims!

Patrick Swayze (who will always be Darrel Curtis to me) has been admitted to the hospital with pneumonia. This is very sad news for all of us 80's babies.

Our thoughts are with you Patrick!

Quote of the Weak ~ Lisa Rinna

My cheeks. I had Juvederm put in my cheeks. That's what I overdid -- big time,"

"I tried it because my girlfriends did it," she says. "I thought, 'I'll do it! I saw a photo and I was like, 'Oh Jesus. That's no good. That's NOT good.'
"When you change your face, you don't look like yourself," she goes on. "Looking fresher is one thing. I look like a freak! I always said I wouldn't change my face, but I did it.
"I can't not be honest about it. I'd look like a fool. It's so obvious," she goes on. "But when this happened, I realized I couldn't hide it."

I do think the lips are way more of an issue than the cheeks but it's refreshing to hear a celebrity admit they overdid it nonetheless.

Courtney Love's First Hideous Outfit of 2009

Retro Reel

Many people have contacted me asking why I haven't posted anything about the death of John Tavolta's son. The whole situation is incredibly sad and my heart goes out to any family who loses a child.

I do think there's more to this story and I'm going to wait to see what transpires.
