First of all, you don't 'imbibe' botox, you have it injected. I still don't get this whole botox fad…do people not realize that botox even stands for Botulism Toxin? Botulism is the bacteria that can grow in food that is poorly packaged, such as vegetables in cans that aren't sealed correctly. Normal botulism leads to paralysis and eventual death when not treated - hence how botox paralyzes muscles in the face to give you that 'young' look. It really makes no sense to me. Why anyone thinks that's a good idea is beyond me…

"Imbibed?" What? She's drinking Botox so her thoat is smooth? Someone should tell Vanessa that the needle going into her face is what is injecting (oh, that's the word) the Botox……. Dingbat.

She's been gorgeous at every age and continues to be now, but botox is used to torture and kill animals so that people like her can brag about how great it is. Boo to that!

I don't understand how actors can do botox.
don't they need their faces to move to express emotion etc?
I guess there are some "actors" who think that speaking lines is enough for the job

Ya, it will look great until you see a tumor growing on the side of your face from injecting botulism.

The reason so many people use botox is because of gossip columns like this- one bad day for a celeb and they're pronounced over the hill and then you go look at yourself in the mirror and think Oh NO she's over the hill and looks so much better than I do! and run to the dermatologist.
That's my story and I'm stickin' with it.

Yall give this old bag a break! She's 45 fuckin years old what do you expect. When women get 40 it's all over for them(mostly) in Hollywood. Men do this shit all the time and don't nobody say squat.

My grandfather played college basketball back in the early '40s. He kept the ball they played with the night they took the state championship in 1943. I found it in his attic a few weeks ago.
Her face looks just like Grampa's basketball.

why does her ear look like that?!
***************** says – reply to this

139

Botox injections have a very bad impact on your skin - it's a deadly bacteria and the effect will show sooner or later. I'd like to see how she gonna look like in 10 years - I prefer getting older like all the normal people do rather than having some shit injected in my skin.
van says – reply to this

140

everyone knows vanessa has always had "crater" skin, she has always admitted it, hence the "proactive" advertisement. She looks good but I always knew she would never age well. Yes, black skin tends to age much better than white skin, but if you have really bad skin to begin with like hers it does not matter what color you are

Hello ***IMBIBED****?????

Did she mean "indulged"?

Imbibe means to drink, usually used when talking about alcohol. Stars shouldn't use words they don't know unless they're publicist tells them to. Cool that she admits to Botox though. Not many people do although everyone uses it.

I just bumped into a middle age woman I know whose been botoxing for at least 5 years and she looks like a cross between a puppet and a blowfish. So keep botoxing Vanessa and you too can enjoy the long term effects of injecting poison into your face.

If it were not for botox I would have no reason to get up in the morning…totally serious here…

144

there are probably some really good anti-aging creams out there that give you good results, you dont need to fuck with botox that shit is lethal! and i agree with jAY BLACK DON'T CRACK. to bad her black genes aren't as prominent as her white genes cause then she wouldn't have to inject that shit into her face.
JEN says – reply to this

Re: I don't believe it - Since when is Vanessa Williams of mixed race??? Both of her parents are Black.
jimjam says – reply to this

150

I think the idiots who are spitefully saying that's she's aged badly are pretty out of line. How you age, unless you've had way too much exposure to the sun or done a lot of drugs, is pretty much based on genetics. Because you have fewer wrinkles than Vannessa Williams doesn't mean that you've worked to make this happen. It's a fucking crapshoot, okay? Also, to all of you who are saying that botox damages the skin–exactly where are you getting your evidence, doctors? Botox has only been shown to have serious consequences in treating patients with cerebal palsy, where the doses are large enough to paralyze the breathing of individuals.
