Celebs Not Being Celebs

This is what they call "Obsession"

2008-12-12T04:06:00.000-08:00

What happens when you spend tons of time in the gym and your whole life starts to revolve around looking and staying young and fit and athletic?

................

The answer is:

Madonna.

What on earth has she done to her arms?!?!?!

Guess who with son???

I know, I couldn't believe it was Christina Aguilera too! She looks so different! (In a good way of course.) I think we just aren't used to seeing her so... covered up...... and normal-looking. And with those schoolgirl bangs!!!

Is this who I think it is?!

2008-12-03T03:27:00.000-08:00

It's Britney Spears! Looking good! (Except for the dress, which is way too tight and low around the bosom!)

What a change from the time she went bald and mental and all that. Perhaps she's finally managed to pick herself up?

America's Next Top Model: Then & Now

2008-11-20T22:50:00.000-08:00

America's Next Top Model has run so many seasons it's a little hard to keep track of who won which season and all that. So here's a short recap on the first 5 seasons' winners and pictures of them back then compared to now.

Cycle 1: Adrienne Curry

(Click on image to view bigger)

Cycle 2: Yoanna House

(Click on image to view bigger)

Cycle 3: Eva Marcille (formerly "Pigford")

(Click on image to view bigger)

Cycle 4: Naima Mora

(Click on image to view bigger)

Cycle 5: Nicole Linkletter

Looks like they haven't changed much - maybe a different hair colour or hairstyle, but all still as gorgeous as ever! I think Adrienne from Cycle 1 has aged somewhat though.

Age catches up with all of us

Is it just me or is Alicia Keys looking a little more "worn" these days?

(Click on image to view bigger)

Compare with back then:

(Click on image to view bigger)

She's lost some of that "cuteness" and vibrancy she had when she first started out, but nevertheless still remains pretty because of her good features. And quite obviously from how she always smiles in her photos, is still the same vivacious, bubbly girl deep down inside.

Someone's back with a new album...

2008-11-01T15:03:00.000-07:00

...And I really can't tell who she is from this photo, which is the album cover, incidentally:

(Click on image to view bigger)

Well, it's supposed to be Britney Spears. But of course, this looks nothing like how we recognize her to be. And there's something not quite alright with her eyes, have you noticed?

I wonder if this really was the best frame out of all the shots for the album cover. If you ask me, the photo is really flat, and she's totally lost her "oomph" and "sparkle" factor here.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

2008-10-25T10:35:00.000-07:00

Compare:

(Click on images to view bigger)

Donatella Versace in 1997 (top) and today (bottom).

What's different?

1) She's darker.
2) Her lips are fuller.

I have absolutely no idea why she thinks she looks better with a tan, nor why she feels her lips are too thin and need to be plumped up.

If you ask me, she looked wayyyyy more attractive back then in '97, when everything was au naturel - or at least looked that way.

But obviously she mustn't think so, right.

Whatever it is, I hope at least she's happy with the result.

Long-lost sisters?

2008-10-18T11:35:00.000-07:00

Well maybe not, but don't you agree Isabella Scorupco (who was in Goldeneye) and Charlize Theron look seriously alike?

(Click on images to view bigger)

Except Charlize is younger and Isabella is much more ample-bosomed. Both are beautiful though. Who do you prefer?

Airbrush magic strikes again

2008-10-06T10:02:00.000-07:00

She has a new album due for release in November. Can you tell who she is from the album pix?

(Click on images to view bigger)

It's a tough call isn't it. I couldn't tell either.

Answer...............

.....It's none other than Sarah Brightman!

And here's what she looked like in the '80s, and in more recent times:

(Click on images to view bigger)

Compare the above with how she looks in her new album:

(Click on image to view bigger)

I know they want to make her look good and all, but I mean, I can't even recognise her anymore! If you ask me, 48-year-old Sarah already looks fabulous and glowing for her age; she doesn't need such drastic Photoshop work!

Ever wondered what you'd get if you merged Demi Moore and Jamie Lynn Spears?

Answer:

Pippa Middleton! (She's Kate Middleton's younger sister. Kate Middleton is Prince William's current squeeze.)

You do see the resemblance, don't you?

Keira Knightley? Keely Hawes? Who's who?

(Click on images to view bigger)

Correct answer: The left image is of Keely Hawes preparing for a scene in a new show, while the image on the right is of Keira Knightley. But when I first saw Keely Hawes here, the first thought that popped into my mind was - hey, that's Keira! And both their names start with "K"!

Better with age???

2008-09-22T12:22:00.000-07:00

Guess who - back in the '70s?

...And here she is today:

(Click on image to view bigger)

I think it's safe to say that Helen Mirren, at 63 years of age, is one of those rare women who age like wine - they just become more delectable! Don't you agree?

The tragedy of Allegra Versace

2008-09-19T13:46:00.000-07:00

This is what Donatella Versace's daughter Allegra could look like if she eats:

(Click on images to view bigger)

Beautiful isn't she? I bet many people would give anything just to look like her.

Unfortunately, Allegra has been suffering from anorexia:

(Click on images to view bigger)

Last year it was reported that she was undergoing treatment for it. But from the looks of the picture below (taken very recently), it would seem that the so-called "treatment" has not been very helpful:

(Click on image to view bigger)

I hope Allegra wisens up somehow. She is naturally beautiful and looks her best when she is eating healthily, not starving herself!

The best Sarah Palin

Of some of the actresses that could play vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin in a movie or TV show:

(Click on image to view bigger)

...I must say I'm rooting for Annette Bening (bottom left). I think she's a fantastic, experienced actress who would do a good job.

They would all look like Ms Palin though, with a power hairdo and specs!

Too much airbrushing!

2008-09-04T18:08:00.000-07:00

I think they overdid the Photoshop! Daniel Radcliffe doesn't usually look this hot!

Compare:

(Click on image to view bigger)

To these pics, perhaps closer to how he really looks:

(Click on images to view bigger)

I'm ok with celebs being photoshopped a little, but that's overdoing it, don't you think? I get kind of disappointed when I see pics of what he actually looks like without all that airbrush magic!

Magazine cover... who the heck is that?

2008-08-23T17:41:00.000-07:00

Why ask a celeb to be on the front cover of your magazine if you're not going to make that celeb look like who he/she is?!

I wouldn't buy Sep 2008's "Allure". Why?

(Click on photo to view bigger)

I don't know who this is!

If you're going to ask her to grace the cover, at least make sure people can tell it's her!

She's..................

.....

.....Carrie Underwood!

Looking...not so good...

2008-08-23T13:52:00.000-07:00

She doesn't look her usual perky, young self.

Maybe it's cos she just got out of rehab. Poor thing.

(Click on photo to view bigger)

Who is she?

.....Answer below..........

.....

.....Kirsten Dunst!

(And she's only 26, mind you!)

Who does this look like to you?

2008-08-23T12:42:00.000-07:00

I guess the camera really does lie.

(Click on photo to view bigger)

Do you know who this is? No? Neither did I.

.....Answer below..............

.....

.....It's Ryan Seacrest!
