FACEBOOKWhy are we so hooked on our looks or the looks of others!? If we keep our butts out of the tanning beds and sun, eat balanced meals and drink water and better yet, lay off the smokes we might age gracefully as our matriarch ancestors did. My mother is in her mid-50s and although she may not have the "super star" body or perfectly smooth face that almost everyone dreams of having, she is a beautiful woman...inside and out! And with 3 adult children she doesn't have any wrinkles! If we take care of ourselves by eating right and exercising and skip the tanning beds, sun bathing and other elements that damage our bodies maybe we won't have to worry about looking old when we're old!!!!!!!!!!!

Vanessa Williams has come clean: She's gets Botox – and she loves it.
"I certainly do Botox, which I definitely think that almost every woman that I know has imbibed," she admits on The Barbara Walters Special, airing at 7 p.m. (ET) Sunday before the Oscars.
"And it's a miracle drug — no cutting, nothing — and I love it!" Williams, 44, says.
Walters also sits down with teen queen Miley Cyrus, who talks about the pressures of being young and famous.
"I've been put in the position where, you know, there's cameras around all the time and ... it's like you can't escape, you know, the press," Cyrus says. "And you can't escape the world that you live in.
"It's hard because I'm young, you know, to be out with my friends and just be like, 'Oh, you know, there's someone snapping pictures,' she adds. "And I can't just, you know, be stupid and just run around and just act like a kid, you know, and go around and, you know, eat pizza and just be silly."

It's funny that most people responding to the Botox article are young. When your in your mid forties or older then comment how you feel about it. By the way, Venessa is in her fifties. So I guess the Botox is working. I see nothing false about her face which to me proves the importants of having a good Dr. do the job. Remember we wouldnt be looking at the stars unless they were good to look at and they know that.

If these women weren't so interested in little boys, they wouldn't have to worry about trying to look their little lover boys age, they need to grow-up and grow older gracefully and naturally which inlcudes mind,body and soul.

I want to know something about you girl. Like did Arnold put the moves on you in that lame movie Eraser or was it called Eraserhead? Whatever.
Who cares two craps about your botox. U old and all the Botox in the universe will not make you look young again. By the way, where are those nude pics of you from when you were Miss Something or Another for two minutes? Dish me some dirt baby....ain't you doing anything besides shooting up Botox 24/7??

OMG what is up with "you know" every 2 seconds? I love Miley Cyrus, but she needs some coaching on speech. Man, J. Lo says it nonstop and now her! It must be contagious. And EXTREMELY ANNOYING TO LISTEN TO!!!

stop saying "You know" ignoramous
5:29 PM
Good for her to admit it. So many deny or won't comment when it is so obvious.
I don't think it's a big deal. It's something used medically as well for overactive sweat glands and tension headaches. We've always been looking to find something for aging. The story of the Fountain of Youth ring any bells?
It looks weird when people overdo it for sure. That's when you see them and they can't move their face. Watching Ugly Betty, Vanessa doesn't have a problem conveying emotion. And the idea is not always to not have wrinkles. It's to lessen them.

I used to be against plastic surgery & Bo-tox but the more research I do on Bo-tox, the more it stands up as an effective, inevasive (yet costly) anti-aging tool. As some long term effects are coming to light, they're not really significant and I am hard pressed to find horror stories on the internet about it. I'm continually seeing the results are almost magical in terms of looking years younger. While detractors have a point about the "frozen emotional face" I think they confuse that just "wrong looking" plastic surgery face with "bo-tox" face. There is a major difference! While it is something I would have never considered before, (and still would never have plastic surgery) the more I look into Botox, the more I can't see anything wrong with it.

Those Hollyweird women crack me up.They're all afraid of giving birth "naturally" (which I wasn't), yet they'll stick that crap in their face/bodies and get tugged and pulled all over Hell's half acre (which scares me half to death). Good Lord.

You know, Miley Cirus is, like, you know, young, you know. You guys should, you know, give her a break, you know. Young people, you know, like Miley, you know, don't have great, you know, speaking abilities.

Um what does eating pizza have to do with someone taking a picture? You can't teach common sense.

I hate to see the reaction when all these botox users start experiencing the long term effects of putting that toxin/poison into their face.
4:19 PM
Vanessa wants to be younger, Miley want to be older. ACT YOUR AGE PLEASE!!!!
4:18 PM
omg! i did NOT know miley said 'you know' sooo many times.
at least she doesn't say 'like' as many times as george clooney does..
4:10 PM
I love Miley to death. I think she is a wonderful supermodel for kids, especially my 8 year old sister.
The girls just needs to stop saying "you know" after every other word. She should work on learning to give interviews and speak eloquently and then I think she would be capable of projecting the image of an even better rolemodel than she already is!!!
Love you Miley!

Miley Cyrus & Vanessa Williams are grest people, lay off of them. Vanessa Williams doesn't look too bad at all for someone who uses botox and is in her 40s!
3:56 PM
I work with a girl that gets free botox shots all the time. She's only 32. She looks like a freak. Regardless of what emotion she's going through, her facial expression always looks the same.
3:46 PM
you can still see her wrinkles. she should get a refund on the botox.
3:40 PM
Finally, someone is being honest about it...You know everyone does it. Go Vanessa!
3:38 PM
I tried botox once. It made me look like a freak.
3:26 PM
wow..i like vanessa but that's not cool that she's a supporter for botox. that's silly. She should age gracefully. I'm 17 and I know that.
3:13 PM
No thank-you. I prefer to look like a normal woman, not a plastic faced robot.
3:13 PM
How many times can Miley say "you know" in one sentence? You know??
