Madonna, as she appeared last night at the NYC premiere of her film, “W.E.” at the Ziegfeld Theatre.
One of the pitfalls of Botox is that you can’t tell how far you’re stretching your facial muscles, because they’ve been deadened, leading to expressions like this when a photog yells, “Big smile, Madonna!”
Speaking of facial immobility, Kim Kardashian co-hosted “Live with Kelly and Not Regis” yesterday, where she was snapped while attempting to smile.

One has atrocious man-made hair, painted eyebrows and plastic lips. Look at her.
Barbara LaMarr (formerly Reatha Watson) was known as “The Girl Who is Too Beautiful,” and you can see why right here with her in this glittery turban.
She wrote at least seven screenplays for UA and Fox, starred with Douglas Fairbanks in 1921′s “The Nut” (that name!), and danced in musical comedies on Broadway, making numerous dance shorts with various partners in NYC, CHI and L.A. She was making $5,000 a week — which would be like making $63,000 a week today.
LaMarr married 5 times and had one child, Marvin Carville LaMarr… all before she was 29, when she died of TB and nephritis (reportedly brought on by drugs and alcohol — possibly the first drug-related death in filmdom).
Her son was adopted by her friends, character actress ZaSu Pitts and her husband, Tom Gallery. Little Marvin became Don Gallery (link is a PDF), an actor who occasionally dated Elizabeth Taylor.
LaMarr’s lovely beach house was blown up for a scene in “Inside Daisy Clover,” starring Natalie Wood. You can see LaMarr’s Hollywood house here.
Her famous quote: “I like my men like I like my roses… by the dozen.”
