High Def Makeover Meets Fear Factor: Kathy Griffin

So, this right here is why you shouldn't turn to the scalpel. Right here. I love Kathy's humor like your dog loves humping your boss's leg, but at some point, you just have to wonder how much of your actual self you've cut away. The cool thing is that Kathy is very open about her extensive alterations and she's admitted to having ten freaking procedures. Ten! Double digits! And she's had lipo twice, even though the first time, it almost killed her. The nose job...whatevs, but man, the Botox and the chemical peels have rendered her with a kind of freaky rictus grin. Did she go to Teri Hatcher's guy? Big mistake. If she's not careful, she'll get as unrecognizable as Roseanne Barr (yes, that's her).

Certainly, she's not showing any wrinkles other than around her eyes, where I doubt the surgeon can pull any tighter without giving her a ten-inch-wide smile. I wonder if she's ever tried Relastin Eye Silk? It's the major rage for tightening and spackling in those peeper lines and it just won a Best of Allure in the anti-wrinkle category (and whoa, Erin just reviewed it today...that was totally not preplanned, y'all, I swear). And she could have saved major bucks on the chemical peeling by just doing one at home, like with another Allure winner, Avon's Anew Advanced Retexturizing Peel or my personal favorite, Skyn Iceland's Nordic Skin peel. Heck, for what she probably paid for a single procedure in L.A., she could have gone to Sephora, searched for "peel" and just bought one of every single thing she found and still not spent half as much money as she did for her Kabuki mask. It's just a sad thing, because seriously, she's got such a unique beauty and has worked very hard at turning herself into a caricature that will likely have unfortunate things happen as she ages, a la Janice Dickinson or Meg Ryan. Step away from the light, Kathy! Save yourself before it's too late!
