While Kim Kardashian’s face continues to undergo its metamorphosis from attractive Armenian girl to stretched and filled Imelda Marcos wannabe, she has accentuated the chipmunk-cheeked horror by choosing the dreaded fleshtone lipstick — which looks good on no one.
Kim is only 30 years old, but has already achieved the cosmetically enhanced look of a woman more than twice her age.
This is not beauty.

Let’s kick it off with some Dinah Washington…
The Ziegfeld era… when pageantry was king… as interpreted by Valerie Perrine. And when you leave, take those balloons with you!
One of my favorite poets, Arthur Rimbaud, who “invented the color of vowels,” is remembered in this mini-docu with some gorgeous images.
Eighties flashback! The Specials!

That hot sphinx of the bench, Judge Marsha Revel, has recused herself from the Lindsay Lohan case, after the prosecuting attorney was about to bust her ass for allegedly fiddling with persons involved in the case without discussing it with the attorneys, reports TMZ.
She’ll now be able to follow her dream of working the Estee Lauder counter at Macy’s, where she can share her beauty tips with the hoi polloi.
Somewhere, in a lonely rehab in West L.A., a little freckled girl is laughing.

That gorgeousness is the original “It” girl… not some Lohan trash imitation. Bow was the real deal, from Brooklyn too, born on this day in 1905. An abused and impoverished child, she somehow managed to become America’s first sex symbol.
The story about her taking on the entire USC football team was proven false by someone who interviewed members of the alleged dalliance team, and they all denied it. Among her many affairs, however, was Bela Lugosi.
Clara got into pictures by winning a contest and was a top box office star in the waning days of the silents — she exemplified the Flapper era, although she was making $35,000 a week during the Depression.
She made a few sound pictures and quit the business at 26, married cowboy actor Rex Bell and had two kids. She never attempted a comeback.
Bow died in Los Angeles of a heart attack at age 60. Her remains are at Forest Lawn, near those of George Burns and Nat King Cole, and right below Alan Ladd.

It was announced Wednesday that versatile Greg Kinnear and the lovely independent spirit Katie Holmes will play John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy (seen above on a 1963 trip to Dallas) in the History Channel’s 2011 eight-hour mini-series, The Kennedys. Joel Surnow, creator of 24, will produce with already controversial scripts from filmmaker Robert Greenwald, who will reportedly limn Jack as the playboy that he was.
Oh, this is going to be wonderful.
Caroline Kennedy has already said she is outraged because JFK will be portrayed as a “sex maniac.” And who to play Caroline as a child?
Suri Cruise?! Oh, I hope so!
Who will play JFK’s favorite mobster moll girlfriend, Judith Exner?
I vote for Monica Lewinsky! I’m smellin’ Emmys!

From 1934′s “Kid Millions,” here’s one of the earliest Technicolor sequences, starring Ethel Merman and Eddie Cantor. “Get me 16 pigtailed milkmaids!”
Here’s some more early color process, Dufaycolor. From “Radio Parade of 1935″ — here’s American blues singer Alberta Hunter. This really gets good when the drum sequence starts!
More Technicolor fun, from 1950, a film by Chevy. “Miamah!”
Arrrrgh! Pirates! Can’t get enough Technicolor! From MGM in 1935, the Fanchonettes.
