in bad form, can you believe it?, crap, plastic surgery, royals
No, that’s not an early Halloween costume, that’s the lovely Duchess of Alba, 85, whose honeymoon was interrupted by the hospitalization of her youngest daughter, Dona Maria Eugenia Martinez de Irujo de Fitz-James Stuart, 12th Duchess of Montoro, who at age 42 has come down with the chicken pox.
As you can see, Eugenia gets her good looks from her mother.
The honeymoon of Cayetana and Alfonso has consisted of walks through the palace grounds. At first, he had hoped to take Cayetana to Thailand, but Eugenia’s pox, which she came down with just a day before her mother’s third wedding, has caused a change of plans.
Cayetana has traveled, alone, to the Ruber Clinic in Madrid, where her daughter is being treated in isolation. It is assumed that Alfonso has not accompanied Cayetana because he has not had chicken pox… and he doesn’t want to be sickened by the duchess.

Joan Rivers, worth an estimated $300 million (she’s been selling her jewelry line on QVC for over 20 years), announced today that she’s hired Susan Lucci to continue performing “All My Children” in her Park Avenue living room, daily at noon.
“I couldn’t stand to see the soap end,” says Rivers, whose daughter Melissa will now play a role in the soap, “And I want to make sure Susan Lucci eats something. Look at her. I have bracelets bigger than she is.”
Lucci added, “It beats ‘Dancing with the Stars’!”

Priscilla Presley with Elvis on their wedding day, May 1, 1967… and on Saturday at a premiere in Hollywood at age 66.
She hasn’t changed a bit in almost 45 years. As a Scientologist, she is vehemently anti-psychiatry.
And it shows.

“You Deserve a Break Today” jingle writer Barry Manilow is well on his way toward his complete transition to becoming actress Illeana Douglas. I figure it’s about four to six more procedures.
Soon, he won’t be able to smile without you.

That’s actress Hedy Lamarr, one of the most gorgeous faces ever captured on celluloid.
You can thank her for your wireless. She co-invented – with composer George Antheil — “an early technique for spread spectrum communications and frequency hopping, necessary to wireless communication from the pre-computer age to the present day.” (Wiki)
A Jewish girl from Vienna, Hedy was a star at age 20, thanks to a naked romp in a film called “Ecstasy.”
Louis B. Mayer brought her to Hollywood, where she starred in 18 films for MGM.
She had six husbands and three children, and retired to Florida, where she eventually looked like this…
She was arrested for shoplifting in 1965 in Los Angeles, and again in 1991 in Florida, where she was popped for allegedly stealing laxatives and eye drops. Charges were dropped in both cases.
She sued Mel Brooks for the use of “Hedley Lamarr” in “Blazing Saddles,” saying it infringed on her right to publicity. They settled for a small sum. She also sued CorelDRAW for using her image on packaging without her permission; they settled for an undisclosed sum.
She died in 2000 at age 86, and in accordance with her wishes, her ashes were scattered in a forest in Austria.

Madonna (I think) as she appeared at a photocall at Venice Film Festival today… and a smiley beanbag chair.
One is fluffed and stuffed with artificial material to make it more comfortable.
