After the Red Carpet, Plastic Surgery Stars and Duds at the Oscars
As always following a major Hollywood event, the blogosphere and entertainment TV were steaming with Oscar reviews. Nothing and no one was spared. Reviewers eviscerated the stars' dresses, jewelry, hair styles, makeup and acceptance speeches. Plastic surgery – real or suspected – received its share of pans and praise.
Actor Neil Patrick Harris joked about Hollywood's love affair with plastic surgery, proclaiming the Oscar audience and Botox the perfect couple. In Hollywood, where youthful looks and body shape seem to be synonymous with success, plastic surgery is viewed by many as a normal adjunct to personal grooming. But the excesses to which some stars have chosen to take cosmetic surgery and the sometimes disastrous results of ill-considered or poorly executed procedures have made for some fairly catty comments from celebrity watchers.
Best actress Oscar winner Sandra Bullock garnered both positive and negative comments on her appearance. Fabulous in a body-hugging gold gown, Sandra, now in her mid 40s, has joked about using liposuction to keep her trim figure. But some entertainment writers questioned her use of Botox, calling Sandra's Oscar-winning smile "wooden." Of course, the thing to remember about Hollywood gossip-mongers is that most of the time they're just guessing. Only a few celebrities like cosmetic surgery fans Melanie Griffin, Joan Rivers and Heidi Montag are outspoken about embracing the benefits of cosmetic surgery. Most celebrities prefer to keep their fans guessing, Does she or doesn't she?
