What the hell has she had done? Just watching her on Jonathan Ross show - is it her lips? She looks so plastic!!

Lady Gaga looks weird? On A Star is Born she looks amazing and completely natural so I am not so sure any plastic surgery makes her look odd

I agree! I don't think Gaga has had anything done.

She can make herself look different with make up, but I doubt she's had anything done.

blackchina · 11/11/2018 00:49

Lady gaga looked ok in 'a star is born,' but she has had work done and it stands out a mile.

It's nothing to do with 'make up.' Here's a 'before' and 'after' pic...

Melanie C's face?!
Whatsnewpussyhat · 11/11/2018 01:10

The advert for their tour is worse. Mel C's face looks distorted.
Mel B starting to get the Joan Rivers eyes.

Kylie looked great though. Clearly has a better surgeon!

Just a shame they think they have to do it. Famous women just aren't allowed to get older at all.
Especially someone like Cheryl who was stunning anyway.

Some of my friends think we don't need feminism anymore. I'm going to direct them to this thread.

snapped1234 · 11/11/2018 02:55

@PikaPikaTink oh come on! Lighten up - watch the program & tell me her mouth doesn't look weird!! Get off your soapbox and don't take life so seriously

I have a few friends who have started down the filler and botox path. They all look older. Maybe the point isn't looking young though, maybe they are after a certain look and I just don't get it. Just like I don't get the trend for giant fake eyebrows.

longwayoff · 11/11/2018 07:00

Ha ha. Remember Cher on Wogan, donks ago when botox was newish like watching a ventriloquists dummy being interviewed. Her replies were coming from somewhere but not a bit of her face moved. Spookily funny.

TheKitchenWitch · 11/11/2018 07:14

I think they look fine tbh. Older.
If I look at photos of myself from 10 or more years ago and compare to now, I also look very different, and I've certainly not had any work done.

I think Lady Gaga does masses with makeup. She looks completely natural in A Star Is Born.

Muminho · 11/11/2018 07:15

pikapikatink I'm with you

snapped1234 you seriously think it's ok that women do this crap to themselves while men age naturally with little comment?

Rachelover40 · 11/11/2018 07:19

I was far more disappointed to think Cheryl had had work done on her face. Such a beautiful young woman, she really didn't need it.

Shockers · 11/11/2018 07:23

I didn’t see it, but heard DH laughing from the sitting room. When I asked him what was so funny, he replied, “Geri Halliwell- she’s just DIM!”

LizzieSiddal · 11/11/2018 07:39

All that success, all that money and they do this to themselves. It’s bloody sad.

malificent7 · 11/11/2018 07:39

Scary looks gorgeous...her hair is amazing!
Mel c looks different but attractive.
Geri attractive but too thin.
Baby looks pretty.
Posh should have given this a blast...spoil sport!

LizzieSiddal · 11/11/2018 07:41

And if you can’t see that Lady Gaga has had work done, you need to go to SoecSavers. Her lips looked like they belong to another person.

malificent7 · 11/11/2018 07:41

Simon Cowell has gone down the BOTOX route....so it's not just women.
John Bishop looks great. Age gracefully people! I wish society would celebrate wrinkles and wise older women...young men love older women deep down.

Roussette · 11/11/2018 07:59

Are these 4 gonna make it on tour, given just like 25 years ago or whenever, Geri just dominates everything and appoints herself spokesperson for them? She is sooo annoying. I have not missed them.

MelC the sensible one
Emma the peacekeeper
Geri Bossy, loud, talks over anyone, irritating
MelB big mouth says the wrong thing

Nothing's changed.

Muminho · 11/11/2018 08:13

malificent7 Maybe so but Cowell is very much in the minority. Most men go grey/ bald and wrinkled and remain successful in the public eye and nobody thinks a thing of it.

Name me one famous woman in her 30s/40s even 50s who allows her natural grey to show and remains successful?

snapped1234 · 11/11/2018 08:13

@Muminho no - I didn't say it was anything about women specifically - I made a comment about Mel C not the entirety of the female species.
I also don't think it's okay or not okay for men or women to do it to themselves - each to their own. What I was commenting on was the dramatic change In her face. Nothing to do with the fact that she also happens to have a vagina. I would have posted the same if it was a male celebrity to had changed substantially.

I will never understand why so many (mainly) women have things done to their faces. They never ever seem to look any better for it. They usually look worse and often strange.

I don't watch X Factor and so have not seen Simon Cowell for ages (thank goodness). Last night turned tv over and it was on. I could not believe his face. He looks so different and not good at all.

I assume Kylie has had work done but I thought she looked good, certainly much much better than the Spice Girls and she is quite a bit older than them

herecomesthsun · 11/11/2018 08:30

If this is Cheryl-that-was-Cole didn't she have a lot of cosmetic work done before she even started out? I'm really not surprised that she would want to update it, I think she has a lifetime career commitment to work now.

herecomesthsun · 11/11/2018 08:33

As for ageing gracefully, him off Spandex Ballet (as he put in on It Takes Two) looks very chipper, I wouldn't be at all surprised if he has had a bit of enhancement, done well.

TeddybearBaby · 11/11/2018 08:53

I had to see what you were all talking about!!

redzebra10 · 11/11/2018 08:54

i saw jamie leigh curtis and sally field on graham norton and they both looked great, they did look old but then they are old and why should they pretend to be anything else.
i was really interested in what they had to say, it was nice to see two woman who knew they had more about them then just looking good
cher on the other hand.......... deluled

lazymare · 11/11/2018 08:55

Emma's face did not move. You could see her forehead straining to move against the Botox.

derxa · 11/11/2018 08:57

I generally like Mel C but I wish the rest of them would bugger off.
