I agree that the collagen trend is a confounding one, yeah I like big lucious lips, but only when they're real. It's a shame when girls like Fox feel insecure enough to want to alter their appearance even when they're already considered bombshells, in Transformers and Jennifer's Body she looked great.
 
Personally I thought the first Transformers was ok, or at least the closest thing to half decency Michael Bay will ever get. Havent seen the sequel but I am aware of the jive talking minstrel robots. LOL

Not a problem.  Part of my court ordered public service.  LOL

Actually my Fiancée works for Allergen the makers of Botox.  She is a promotional material reviewer Manager.  Her job is take sure all advertising is compliant with FDA regulations.

Well, my girlfriend likes Lady Gaga so I have to listen to her music... much more that I would like.

Anyway, I've always thought that it is possible to make a nice rock-cover of Bad Romance.  Really, no joke, it can be a really powerful song with heavy guitar riffs.

I kinda agree, Fox is technically gorgeous (or she was before the surgery at least) but she doesn't have a whole lot of personality. And I tend to be more into chicks who are a bit less generic and more unique looking, and Gaga certainly has that going for her.

Collagen, T, not Botox.  Botox is a toxin that freezes nerves usually used on the forehead above the bridge of the nose.  Once treated people cannot move the muscles in their forehead hence no wrinkles. Collagen is a filler that is used in cosmetic surgery. 



Collagen then it is. Tongue Anyway, I don't understand why they think it makes them look better (the same with botox... those cardboard-looking faces can't be any less atractive)

The prog metal team has rejected her so crossover is our only hope....

I've heard a few bars of her songs here and there and as this is music that just doesn't appeal to me, I say: Why bother?

It might be catchy, ok she writes her own material, but ultimately there's been so much of that sort of stuff around for years that I'm just not interested. Ultimately it's just the stuff caught in contemporary musical restrictions.

Just another singer being set up as the next Madonna. Who cares? It's naff.

Meanwhile Gaga is still going strong.

So why would a less "pretty" singer be so popular? Surely there's something that makes her so appealing to people.
 
Madonna is a parody of herself at this point, but I still defend her 80s material as genuinely good pop music. As for Britney, at first it was because she was hot jailbait, now I just think people feel sorry for her.


Nicely put. All of it.
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

Wasn't my point.  My point was Perry isn't the washed up girl you said she was in terms of fame.

As for me, I'm as heterosexual as they come, and I do not find most of the women they least even remotely appealing.
