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.

They scream in horror saying, “My God! Where is my Botox?” and they head straight for the doctor. Then, after getting the injection, they ask the doctor, “Um, doc, is this stuff safe?”
