New Nose or Same Schnoz?
A few weeks ago, I snarked about Disney cutie Ashley Tisdale getting deviated septum surgery. I didn't buy her "health reasons" excuse for a second. A nose job is a career-killer, I lamented, pointing out Ashlee Simpson and Jennifer Grey as examples. Tisdale, who's the legal age of 22, is popular because of her flaws, lousy singing voice included. She's different from the other princesses.
Well, the post-op pix courtesy of US are now coming in. (Here's another one.) If you'll please consult the before and after snaps on the left, you'll see her shooter has indeed decreased in size. Same basic shape, mind you, just a little smaller. But what's really disturbing is that she looks like she also had an eye job -- and a lousy one at that. One eye looks droopier than the other, like she was left in the microwave too long.
Something went down, and it wasn't good. I can already feel my stalker urges subsiding. That's too bad. I really had a good time being obsessed with Ashley.


Sean Daly is the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times. His CD collection -- from Journey to Dylan, Prince to U2, Public Enemy to Stan Getz -- is much bigger and better than yours.
I actually have the same problem its so hard to breathe out of my right nostril, and god does allergys, sinuses, and colds suck..give her a break ill be getting to opperation soon as well, i dont need a nose job im pretty without it but its part of the proceedure.

Back off. I witnessed the medical issue first hand. It's true. And why do you care what she does in her personal life. It's her life. If you obbsess about her this much you must obviously be a wanna be tisdale. You need to stop gonig on just your assumtions and get the facts and stroy strait before you spread stuff. And she didn't get an eye job by the way. Her makeups different. I know because I do that for a living.

OMG! This whole Jamie Lynn Spears thing is so jam-packed with craziness I don't know where to begin. Let me start with a couple of quotes:
"Jamie Lynn's always been so conscientious. She's never late for her curfew." - Mother-of-the-year Lynne Spears, expressing her shock that conception can occur before Leno.
"I plan to raise the baby in Louisiana, so it can have a normal family life." - Jamie Lynn, obviously unaware that the key to a normal family life isn't a normal ZIP code, but rather, having a normal family.
It's more clear than ever that the Spears have become the white-trash Kennedys. I fear we will all spend the rest of our lives constantly bombarded with their every doom-struck move.
I need a drink.

Sean, I'm oddly drawn to this show. I don't know what it is, but there ya have it. Kendra isn't even delightfully ignorant.
Bridget, from what I understand, receives the most amount of hate mail. It's rumored that she is or was married at the time she and Hef hooked up. However, she's the most real (including her boobalas). Thanks for not making fun of me for watching it lol

First of all, don't knock "The Girls Next Door." I'm fascinated by Bridget, who's obviously barely tethered to sanity. She's always crying and breaking down. Her self-image is disastrous. You know she's sneaking Hostess cupcakes from under her bed. Good stuff.
As for the young one, Kendra, she's so annoying and stupid -- ugh, and that donkey laugh -- it's impossible to be attracted to her. And that's saying something coming from someone as shallow as myself.

I was watching The Girls Next Door on E! (Don't ask) and they broke in to announce the breaking news, Al. Clearly Britney taught her all about birth control and/or abstinence.
Posted by: Marissa | December 19, 2007 at 07:54 AM
Jeff, you're hilarious! Well done.
BREAKING NEWS: Britney's sister is pregnant!
Sigh, why does CBC News think this is important......

As nose-jobs go it's relatively harmless, but remember, rhinoplasty is a "gateway procedure". Next thing you know she'll be having her rack re-worked, then her buns done, tummy tucked, on and on down the slippery slope.
By the time she's 30 everything will have been lifted so much that her ears will touch in the back of her head and she'll be sporting a goatee.

She looks like a cast member from "The Real Housewives of Orange County."

Oh Al! You're really putting yourself out there for scrutiny by the tainted old farts, aren't ya?
All the same, that's sweet.

On a serious note......I've never understood why these babes need to get surgery (if she didn't actually need it).
I get it, they're pressured and all, but it's still their life.
She's gorgeous enough before the surgery, in my humble opinion.
She should have come up to my place and let me cook a wonderful breakfast, pause for a cry break about the paparazzi, etc., bake some cookies in the afternoon, go skating, see a movie and so on.
Jeez, my dreams are really G-Rated! Yet adorable.

Another one bites the dust.....on my list of:

Darn you Daly!

Jo Jo the Idiot Circus boy ... just the name gave me a hellacious hearty laugh.
Posted by: Marissa | December 18, 2007 at 12:36 PM
She is WAY too young to be looking like Katherine Helmond in "Brazil". Sad. I guess I'm back to pining for Christy Carlson Romano's braces days...

Sean, I understand the Tisdale crushin, but don't you think you need some kind of tribute to Dan Fogelberg on your blog, for cripessake?
Posted by: The Mouth | December 18, 2007 at 12:29 PM
Yeah, that's it. She looks like she's inhaling very deeply and it's pulling her nostrils in ... causing a cavernous dip on the sides of her nose.
Like I said before, what's next? Deviated Sternum; excuse for augmentation of the basooms
Posted by: Marissa | December 18, 2007 at 12:18 PM
Ugh! This nose job looks terrible!! It looks so skinny and pinched, like it might be harder to breathe through now than before (if you buy that whole "deviated septum" nonsense)! And suddenly she's lost her California tan and highlights. And she looks so....SAD...like she knows they did a lousy job!
HSM fans and Sean Daly will be crying themselves to sleep tonight!

Nose looks the same to me, she just got rid of all the crappy black eyeliner.

There are lusty shards all over the floor. Much sadness too.
Posted by: Sean Daly | December 18, 2007 at 12:07 PM
Uh, something ain't right. She looks older, first of all. She is reminding me of Jennifer Coolidge (Legally Blonde) at that isn't a good thing
Sorry Sean. I know this must break your lusty heart.
