Above, see all the stars as they appeared then...and as they appear now!

At the most recent Hollywood Show, held at the Westin Los Angeles Airport, I was discussing with one of my A-hound (that's "autograph") buddies just how long we could continue coming to these shows, considering so many of the attendees are people we've already met, and other potential guests are dropping like flies.

Not even kidding—this hearse was in front of the hotel as I first drove up!

Don told me, "Oh, I'll be here in 20 years in my Rascal, scooting around for Lindsay Lohan's autograph." He was joking, though. He couldn't care less about LiLo or most modern stars. For him it's Jane Withers through about Dallas, Don and most of the others who attend these shows can't be bothered. When does it end? I guess, as with life, it ends when it ends, so have fun while it lasts.

This was my shortest show. I only spent part of the first day and a few minutes on the second, since I had the GLAAD event and other stuff to do. But I couldn't not come, not with Angie Dickinson, Earl Holliman and Mamie Van Doren in the mix.

Here are my interactions, in order as they occurred:

The man who is said to be Madonna's plastic surgeon, Dr. Fredric Brandt, is pictured above. This work is from a series of portraits of extreme plastic surgery addicts by Phillip Toledano called "A New Kind of Beauty." It may be new, but it doesn't look like what these people have had done to themselves is all that kind.

This picture should be on Madonna's refrigerator as a warning to not indulge as aggressively as she did in late 2008 (and on through the Sticky & Sweet Tour). She looks good now and should be cautious about new tweaks. There is a fine line between tweaks and freaks.

True enough, people have a right to look how they please. But I find it very hard to look at a portrait like this and not feel there are other issues beyond the understandable need to repair the physical wear of aging.

See more of Toledano's work here.

Christians have to believe in miracles if they believe Mother Mary was in her fifties and had Botox. Jesus Christ, Roma Downey looks ridiculous in that godawful hit The Bible.

At age 73, Tina Turner has landed on the cover of German Vogue (April 2013). Figuring out whether you're an optimist or a pessimist is as simple as deciding whether you think it more appropriate to call this her first Vogue cover or her last. Lookin' good, Tina.

BEFORE & AFTER:

For starters, she's had at least one nose job, her eyes and brows done, uses fillers and probably a facelift at some point. This isn't the best shot of her on the right, but it is candid and shows what is happening. I think she looks good overall, but the notion (in the comments) that she hasn't had plastic surgery is not something I can just nod at. Then again, I can't think of any entertainers I feel confident haven't had procedures...can you? P.S. I wonder how much slimming Vogue's retouchers applied? I haven't seen TT lately so am not sure.

Via Star (March 18, 2013): The latest face-transplant recipient has finally been unveiled. I mean, I always thought Adrienne Maloof looked bizarrely like a lioness, but to see how far afield her face is from its starting point is shocking.

A pic like this raises questions

Here is what I'm not saying:

I'm not saying it means Madonna is a bad person if she has had "work done." I'm not saying Madonna isn't gorgeous. I'm not saying she isn't in killer shape. I'm not saying she doesn't work hard. I'm not saying she hasn't always had a great butt.

Whose butt is that, girl?

Here is what I am saying:

Via National Enquirer (December 10, 2012): Suddenly gigantic butt aside, I almost don't recognize Christina Aguilera facially. It's like she's trying to become a black hip-hop video hussy. That spray-tan is about one shade away from triggering blackface outrage. She looks absurd.

Ran across the so-called "human Ken Doll" Justin from a recent post. I don't get this type of body modification, but to each his own.
