British Press Continues Its Assault Against Celebrity Body Parts, Sinks Its Claws Into 'Bat Face'
Posted by Molly Friedman at 3:50 AM on March 14, 2008
Having devoured celebrity knees and lips in their quest to mock each and every imperfect body part they spot on the red carpet, the British press is now preying on something they've dubbed Bat Face, singling out Nicole Kidman as the epitome of Botox overload. Though the picture of Nicole they use isn't pretty, the bat is actually kind of adorable (at this point, we are far more scared of seeing Nic enter our room in the middle of the night than this cuddly little rat with wings). In fact, Nicole looks less like this animal than she does another: Michael Jackson. And she's not alone. Rather than naming the immobile facial trend Bat Face, we're thinking the look is more a symptom of MJ Syndrome, which also counts Renee Zellweger and Teri Hatcher among its victims.

Nicole has the same trouble expressing concern as MJ....

Goldie Hawn shares his tendency to maniacally smile at the camera...

Renee's lemon-sucking lips are eerily similar to his...

And Teri just looks as though she must have ordered The Michael Deluxe off the plastic surgery menu.

Nicole probably thinks if her lips are big no one will notice that her face looks swollen from pregnancy. Suck it up lady, it's only nine freaking months out of your life. Looks like she stopped dying her hair to protect the baby, but it's ok to inject your lips with poison?
I think Teri Hatcher looks normal. What is the problem?

Wonder if Nichole has checked into whether Botox is bad for the baby? Can you imagine what that thing is gonna look like when it's born?!

Maybe Terri was just wearing a mask...

Renee just has a pursed smile. I'm pretty sure there is no plastic surgery going on there.

I don't think Teri Hatcher looks nearly as bad as those other women. You might be thinking bat sh*t crazy.

Don't forget "America's Sweetheart," Meg Ryan!

If Goldie gets another lift, she'll have a beard.

@spanktastic: @bitchybitch: The rumor I heard was that she stopped with the Botox etc. for her pregnancy. I think that's why it looks like her face is melting.

Does anyone else look at that picture of Nicole and see Michael Keaton (in his Batman/Bruce Wayne days)?

Are there grays in Nicole's roots?
