Rocky Balbotox

Some of you may have caught Sylvester Stallone getting back in the ring in the latest installment of Rocky. If you were around in the 80s, Stallone was the go-to-action hero of the day. The Gossip Squad is split on how we feel about Rambo's new look. Some of us feel that Sly's new face is decidedly overbotoxified (did we just invent this word) and that his facelift is poorly executed because he barely looks like himself anymore. One of our co-horts thinks that we should give Sly a bit of a break because he looks more like 40-ish than 60ish. But we all agree that with the cosmetic enhancements, Sly simply doesn't look like himself anymore. Suffice to say, we didn't fork out $11 to see the latest Rocky (and we saw I - IV).

And here's a Twilight Zone moment that we picked up from the Daily Mirror: Stallone and his mother Jacqueline (pictured here) are looking more and more like one another every day. While looking like one's mom is not an offense that raises a a plastic surgery red flag, Sly and his mom Jacqueline have admitted to sharing the same plastic surgeon and believe in taking advantage of all the anti-aging shots (read: Botox) and supplements that medicine can offer. As eloquently put by blogger Janet Charlton in her blog "We're not sure if that's a good thing. At least Sly's pretty wife Jennifer knows what her husband will look like in twenty years."
