Problems With Plastic Alert: Plastic surgery gone wrong!

Publication: National Examiner
Date: 26 Sept. 2011

The low rent Examiner goes with a story about plastic surgery snafus, most of them on women older than I am, some who were famous before I graduated high school. There are pictures of Loni Anderson, Linda Evans (pictured above), Priscilla Presley, Courtney Love and Tanya Tucker, all of them looking a bit too much like Mickey Rourke.

Courtney Love is the odd person out on this list. Everyone else was famous in the 1960s or 1970s, while Love's fame started in the 1990s. Many from the target demographic for the low rent Examiner won't even know who she is.

Fresh trash tomorrow! Last trash of the week... right now!

The Globe mentions a whole lotta people, most of them who were famous before I graduated high school, and does not directly predict that any of them is one step away from the grave, so this is about as positive as they get. Almost all of them are best known from work on old TV shows, with the exception of Margaret O'Brien and Esther Williams. Here is the full list of people on the cover.

June Lockhart, Esther Williams, Adam West, Burt Ward, Loni Anderson, Rose Marie, Gavin MacLeod, Jaleel White, Margaret O'Brien, Johnny Whitaker

Of this list, only Loni Anderson and Jaleel White (Urkel) had their major claim to fame after I left Alameda High School back in the early 1970's.
