GRACE Lee: Too early to say ...
Controversial Personality’s problems never end. After a series of unfortunate events, CP is in trouble again. According to online buzz, bosses are investigating employees’ complaints against CP.
Coworkers suspect CP of bugging their cell phones using a certain computer software. Should Former Lover change phones and passwords now?
CP, who’s been rebuffed by the public for such shenanigans, just never learns.
Natural woman
Pretty Starlet vehemently denies she underwent a series of cosmetic procedures.
But insiders claim that PS, who vanished from the scene for a while, has become slimmer, and her nose perkier.
Supporters insist PS is all-natural, that she just had a minor mishap that resulted in a quick trip to the hospital.
Right. She’s as natural as Nicki Minaj’s hair color.
More artificial beauties
Biz Insider is aghast that three successful singers have gone under the knife, potentially harming their golden pipes.
LOVI Poe: Single and very happy.
Apart from rigorous skin-whitening treatments, Popular Celeb had a nip here and a tuck there, too. PC reportedly had her chin and cheeks enhanced and her nose trimmed as well.
BI asked: Does PC still recognize the stranger in the mirror?
Meanwhile, like Pretty Chanteuse, Upstart Performer obviously gorged on glutathione.
Cautionary tale
These makeover-addicted celebrities should take heed of High-Profile Personality’s harrowing experiences.
In spite of incessant denials, HP seems to have survived a cosmetic surgery gone awry, but one that left her with a distorted face. Poor HP now looks like a melting wax figure, says a source.
In one photo, HP is seen obviously shielding the evidence. Another snapshot seems Photoshopped. A digitally altered family photo is one sure sign of trouble.

Days before the big game, lead singer Isaac Slade said they were in a restaurant with “Glee’s” Matthew Morrison, then another VIP walked by—NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Later, they saw Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
Slade said, “It’s been surreal, it’s kind of an ‘SNL (Saturday Night Live)’ skit.” AP
