"I certainly do Botox, which I definitely think that almost every woman that I know has imbibed. And it's a miracle drug — no cutting, nothing — and I love it!

at least she's honest
ahh yes…
… she too is joining the vast throng of the mummified
TO HELL!!!!
Vanessa u were once so beautiful, what happened to u.botox is shite. vanessa, vanessa so sad.
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.
people are so judgemental….who cares..its her own damn face and she can do what she wants with it….
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.
SHE ADMITS TO DOING BOTOX? LOOKS LIKE IT AINT WORKING!
is the botox working cos her skin looks like hell. from the pic, i thought the quote was gonna be about how she doesn't use it.
Vanessa rocks! But seriously what is going on with her ear????
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.
At least she admits using botox unlike other celebrities around her age…like Christie Brinkley!
Love the Honesty !!!!
ummm is Vanessa Williams African American? I remember her in the 90's and I remember her looking a bit darker? or am I thinking of someone else????
SO WHAT?
She's just honest.
Kool!
She is drop dead gorgus!
Re: ed – grow up
Why doesn't it look like she's used Botox then? More like Meth…Daaayum!
Jen, Why are you taking it so personal? Are you family of hers or something? Lighten up…We're entitled to our opinions.
She looks GREAT and she's HONEST. Love me some Vanessa Williams!
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.
i'd still fuck her!!!
Re: Tina Jones – Totally agree!!!
yes putting chemicals in your face to paralyze the muscles just for vanity, yes thats great.
She looks good for someone in their mid-forties.
She must be taking just enough becasue her face still has life to it.
UG Mark taking the left over Botox from Wilhelmina was too funny.
YOU are the dumb mother fuckers who will be sent to fight in this NEVER-ENDING WAR if Obama loses!!!!
And if your disfigured ass is able to return from war in broken pieces, there will be no Veteran's assistance with your medical problems, housing or employment!!!! So continue to rant and rave your ignorance. Wake the fuck up or be prepared to DIE FOR THE RICH AND POWERFUL!!!

And she still manages to look 'real' and not frozen faced. Girl knows how to do it RIGHT! She looks fab!
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.
She is just like Wilhemina. I know it.
Its not a miracle drug!! its a DEADLY bacteria that they inject into your face.. Closteridium Botulium. look it up.
Thank you Vanessa, a real woman.
Dear Vanessa, what about the lines around your eyes and the ones on your neck? Dead giveaway. Besides, we all know how old you are anyway.
She's drinkin Botox? OOOOh-Kaaay…
Her skin always looks dry and
really wrinkly
why does her ear look like that?!
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.
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…
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.
she needs some botox under her fucking eyes and alot of zit cream! jesus she has money right. her face doesnt look it
Omg Skeet On the Side Of Her Mouth. LoL
She is over 40 and still looks better than every teeny wannabe here…
VANESSA IS SO BEAUTIFUL SHE DOESNT EVEN NEED BOTOX, SHE'S A NATURAL BEAUTY, YOU PEOPLE NEED TO STOP HATING ON HER, SHE'S GORGEOUS,,,,,,,,VOTE FOR OBAMA!
Re: I don't believe it - Since when is Vanessa Williams of mixed race??? Both of her parents are Black.
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.
Hmm…. I used to think dark skin aged well. Guess not!
At least she's honest!!
this is the only woman swho still looks good n gets botox i mean janice dickson YIKES u could throw her against a wall n the bitch would come bouncing back
You go Vanessa!!! I agree–I love Botox too–I wish I could Botox my entire body!!!! All you haters out there need to take a look at yourselves–it's not THAT expensive–save a few bucks each pay, and you can look just as good!! I know I do!!!
i thought the bitch was on proactive!
