You knew it had to happen. Eventually the whole world would be looking at every Hollywood star and trying to figure out the one burning question in the back of their mind, "Did she or didn't she?" or, he as the case may be. We of course are referring to the stars who have gone and gotten themselves a bit of Botox injected into their faces.
While none of the rumors can be confirmed, except by the few stars who have actually admitted to having Botox injections, these rumors are still flying around the Internet and magazines. Some may surprise you. Others, you probably would have bet your life that they were getting pumped up.
We'll start the rumor mill off with probably two of the hottest stars today because of the show "Desperate Housewives". We're of course referring to the very hot Nicolette Sheridan and Teri Hatcher. In an actual interview, Hatcher admits to having had some work done on her face. She said, and I quote, "In the past I've had Botox and collagen". She then went on to deny that she and Nicolette Sheridan have had any plastic surgery and didn't know if Sheridan had had Botox injections. Sheridan herself would not offer any comment but if you take a good look at her face, as many plastic surgery experts have pointed out, and compare it to her days on Knots Landing, it is painfully obvious that she has had work done on her face and most likely has had Botox as well.
Hatcher went on to say that she stopped the Botox injections, not for any health reasons but simply because she finally decided to let herself age naturally. She said that the last time she had an injection was over a year ago.
Another big name in the rumor mill is Cher. She has always publicly admitted to having work done on her face as well as many other parts of her body. However, she admits to some surgeries but when asked about other surgeries she denies them. As for Botox, she has never actually said she has or hasn't. The question probably just never came up.
Of course, one of the most famous names in history for plastic surgery is Joan Rivers. She is one of the few people who has admitted to having so much work done on her face and her body that she incorporates jokes about these procedures into her comedy routine. She has made Botox a running joke in her life and it has paid off.
The men are not exempt from the Botox craze. Ryan Seacrest, it has been reported, has been forbidden by doctors to have anymore Botox treatments for certain undisclosed health reasons. These reports have not been confirmed but they are all over the Internet.
And the list of stars goes on and on. Famous celebrities on the rumor mill also include Sylvester Stallone, Elizabeth Taylor, Madonna and Phyllis Diller.
With millions of people getting these shots each year, according to statistics, somebody is getting them and let's face it, some of these people shouldn't be looking as good as they do.

A quick online search for the term Botox will reveal that there are as many people searching for Botox as there people searching for Botox alternatives. Botox was approved by the FDA in 2002 as a cosmetic procedure to get rid of wrinkles. A simple needle injection was demonstrated to miraculously eliminate nagging lines and wrinkles and the boom was on….until people started to read about what "tox" in Botox really was.
Botox is the trade name used for Botulinum Toxin Type A. Yes, I said toxin as in poison. Botox is in fact a relative of botulism, a kind of food poisoning. This food poisoning occurs when a person eats any kind of food that contains a neurotoxin which is created by the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum.
Botulinum Toxin Type A, which is just one of seven of the neurotoxins that are produced by the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum. Botulinum Toxin Type A causes serious fatal conditions such as paralysis.
When this occurs, the neurotransmitter that is in charge of triggering muscle contractions (acetylcholine) can no longer be released. The Botulinum toxins have attacked the proteins such as SNAP-25 that are supposed to be essential for release of this acetylcholine.
The Botulinum toxins have now accomplished blocking the signals that are supposed to tell the victim's muscles to contract.
By now you're probably wondering why anyone would want to inject these toxins into their body INTENTIALY. The reason is that we want to get results fast and Botox does work. If any area of your body can be prevented from moving, then it can't contract and guess what? It can't wrinkle - that is the phenomenon of Botox!
Botox starts to work within hours but the results will not last permanently. Depending on your body, the effects of Botox can last anywhere from 3 to 8 months.
As for whether Botox is dangerous or not, the dangers remain fairly low.
Botox is definitely not recommended for people with neuromuscular disorders as it would be dangerous for them. It is also not recommended for people with cardiovascular disease. If you don't have either of these problems you should still consult with your physician before considering Botox.
Studies have shown that if you are a person that is a good candidate for Botox injections and the injections are administered by a qualified profession you should not experience any dangerous side effects. If you are searching for a way to look longer, generally Botox is a relatively safe way to combat the aging process.
