Botox rumours put spite into White House race

Hillary Clinton's enemies have long criticised her political -makeover, from the liberal firebrand First Lady to the moderate senator and White House candidate that she is today.


Now, the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination is the subject of a whispering campaign suggesting that she has also undergone a physical makeover - with Botox injections to enhance her appearance.




Sen Clinton's fresh-faced demeanour at last weekend's New Hampshire presidential debate has unleashed a flurry of speculation, among newspaper columnists and on the internet, that she has used artificial means to banish the wrinkles.


The debate has revealed again the importance of appearance in the race for the White House, and the extra scrutiny that falls on Sen Clinton as the first woman with a realistic chance of becoming president.


Botox, derived from a lethal poison that forms in rancid sausages, is injected into the face - at $500 (£260) a shot - to eliminate wrinkles by paralysing the surrounding muscles. In 2004, John Kerry, the Democrat presidential nominee, was accused of using the substance to remove wrinkles from his forehead.

Truth be told, politicians and celebrities are people who need to maintain a positive public image. And we, the spectators, want to look up to these public personalities who can look better than us and not succumb to the daily wear and tear of life. It is a very simple principle. And deep inside, we want to look good too. Why do the people expect public figures to be anymore less concerned about their looks and appeal than ourselves?

George Clooney's new look is to dye for

by RICHARD SIMPSON Last updated at 18:19pm on 24th May 2007


He is one of Hollywood's most eligible bachelors and as such is adored by women the world over.
So it will be reassuring for the rest of mankind to know that George Clooney too has insecurities about the onset of middle age.

Although they are clearly not something a little dieting, sunbathing, surgery and hair dye won't fix.

Promoting his latest movie, Oceans 13, at the Cannes Film Festival yesterday, Clooney, 47, looked to have dyed his trademark greying hair an alarming shade of blond.

He also seemed to have slimmed down considerably and to have over-done it in the French Riviera's unforgiving sun.


Clooney's rejuvenated look comes just a few weeks after he revealed that he had undergone surgery to remove the saggy skin around his eyes.

Back in January Clooney confided in friend Julia Roberts during a TV interview that he had undergone surgery on his eyes.

He told Roberts: "I think it's important to look awake."

Perhaps spending so much time with fresh-faced co-stars like Matt Damon, 36, and Brad Pitt, 43, is behind Clooney's youthful new appearance.

Of course being an actor he will always to be able to excuse bad hair and yo-yo-ing weight by blaming them on his latest film role.

Surely though the sunburn and eye surgery were not required for any forthcoming project.
"He is just a few years short of 50 but is trying to look like a man half his age.
"Earlier this year he admitted to getting his eyes done and now he has dyed his hair and gone on a crash diet.


"Perhaps he's worried about the competition from younger actors such as Matt Damon and Brad Pitt. He is having to work hard to stay looking good" said a source on his latest movie.
Back in 2005 Clooney admitted he was unhappy to put weight on so quickly in preparation for his role as CIA operative Bob Barnes in Syriana.

He says: "I put it on so quickly, I was anxious to get it off. The depressing thing was that I could put on 35 pounds in 30 days."

Get Younger Looking Skin Through Oxygen Therapy

DIAMOND OXY PRO: The NEXT INNOVATION for younger looking skin!

Diamond's unique transdermal delivery system counters the skin's natural resistance using the "Rebound Effect" of air assisted jet pumps to deliver a matrix of bio-available liquid minerals and oxygen deep into the tissues to remineralize and stimulate the skin, to raise energy levels and increase skin vitality.

What is Diamond Oxy Infusion?

A jet stream action delivers a synergistic skin catalyst transdermally bypassing the normal skin resistance. By the age of 30 skin has already lost over 25% of the oxygen it started with. By age 40 almost 50% of the skin's ability to consume and retain oxygen has been impaired. Less Oxygen results in more wrinkles, fine lines and dull looking skin. Diamond Oxy Pro Infusion delivers oxygen and liquid minerals further than other oxygen mist treatments by fusing bio-available trace and essential minerals and delivering them into the tissue by jet stream infusion, remineralizing skin, restoring vibrancy and youthful glowing complexion.
