I fully believe the rumors that Ashlee Simpson got Botox. Why not? That's just how effed the whole Hollywood aesthetic has become. I mean, look at Britney: even in the midst of a slow-fueling nervous breakdown, this 20-something manages to stop by her derm's office for a quick pick me up in the form of collagen lips. (Yeah, because, um, that's exactly what she needs right now, duh! As Chris Crocker would say, "Leave Britney Alone!" or um, the new Chris, Catherine Hilton, who'd like us all to pray for her.) I mean, does that bring this phenom into perspective or what!?

And where are these young 'uns getting the idea in the first place? From their role models. That's right, because all the older, "respectable" actresses in the business have gone ahead and given in to the pressure to freeze their faces in time. I'm tempted to criticize the whole mess, but honestly, whose fault is this? Uh, casting directors? Yeah, casting directors! Let's lynch 'em! No, better idea, let's attack 'em with Botox and Restylane-filled needles until they're rendered unable to smile, and see how they like it. Aw fuck, I don't know, what do you think?
