WTF is up with Priscilla Presley's face?

[IntravenousDemilo]

It looks like a death mask or something. The skin's been pulled back so tightly that if she were to pop a chin zit, her entire face would roll up under her hair like a blind, flapflapflapflapflap. She'd better not smile or she'll yank something loose.

The same can't be said for her tell-tale turkey neck. You know, she's a very very very very very rich woman, so you'd think she could afford a competent plastic surgeon.

1. I posed the same question last night

and was informed that she got scammed by some fake "surgeon" who injected her with... I dunno... motor oil or something.

Yes, she's a wealthy woman with connections. If she got Pennzoiled at some Bolivian house party, it's her own damned fault.

2. I was going to as well, but I never got around to it till now.

You know how quickly these threads sink out of sight. :)

I missed most of Dancing with the Stars tonight. Who went home?

Motor oil... Yuck...

3. I don't know

I was busy watching Idol.

Now I'm proud to be an American, but you wouldn't understand that, ya Canadian commie.


Edit: I just looked it up: Penn Jillette and Monica Seles went home. That's a shame... Penn was fun.

4. Funny, so was I.

David Cook rocks.

Greenwood wrote a version called God Bless Canada -- or rather, he didn't write a new version so much as cross out "the USA" and put "Canada" in. It doesn't really scan very well, because there's one too few syllables. Personally, I hate both versions, because they smack of phony, dime-store patriotism, you know, like making a point of wearing a flag pin in your lapel, or making a point of someone's not wearing one. I was hoping Simon would say "Oh, God, I hate that song! You're just playing for votes!" because I think he has the best taste on the panel, but I was disappointed. Oh well.

If there are interesting enough comments in it, could you link me to your Priscilla thread from last night? Merci.


ETA: Yeah, Penn was lots of fun. I thought Adam would go home. Monica, well, yeah, sure...

5. I know!

I expected Simon to slap her down, but he didn't. I guess everybody's afraid to openly support Al Qaeda.

Last night's thread went nowhere:

6. Thanks, MonkeyFunk

I also followed the TMZ link and looked at some of the other photos. Oy, Donatella Versace! :puke: Mickey Rourke! :puke: :puke:

I'll have bad dreams tonight.

7. ugh!

It's amazing that these ppl have so much money and can yet look so bad. (I went to Monkey Funk's link... scary... and has nothing to do with some scam artist... has to do with reality.) They all make a case for aging gracefully... or at least aging naturally...no way I could ever have plastic surgery (...not to mention I couldn't afford it, thankfully, after seeing what happens to those who can.)

movie stars as everyday folk.

Hollyweirders are the most visible, but when I think of Presley and Michael Jackson and his family and on and on... they all make a good argument for a 98% income tax after, oh, say, 5 million. I know, I know, an undue hardship, but someone always gets treated like crap, don't they? Poor folk trying to get by on 5 mil a year.. :eyes:
