KEEPING A STIFF UPPER EYEBROW

A Face Mr. Spock Could Love: Kate Gosselin Gets Botox

By Madi S.

Madi S. KATE GOSSELIN WAS GRASPING FOR AIR AFTER HER messy divorce, a house full of kids, a so-so samba with Dancing with the Stars, and the sudden death of her family reality show.

The crusty mommy needed change, a little pick-me-up.

So what does she do? Get a new haircut that will be criticized and analyzed by every cockamame two-bit blogger. No.

Worse: a Botox treatment that makes her look like Mr. Spock's wife.

US magazine reports that Kate was photographed on Monday showing noticeably smoother skin and spiked eyebrows. Comparing pictures of the new Kate to the old Kate, Dr. Michael Olding of George Washington University's division of plastic surgery, concluded:

"She looked much better in the earlier photo: great hair, nice smile and a normal brow position."

And NYC-based Dr. Steven Pearlman explains: "The center of her eyebrows are dropped and spread, which can happen from Botox treatment of the forehead frown lines."

So with all these expertise we feel sorry for Kate going through so much trouble and ending up with a botched face. At only 35, I would recommend that she find other ways to feel good about herself: A night out with the girlfriends, a shopping spree, a mini vacation to Hawaii.

Get a hobby, Kate, write a novel -- but hold the needle!
