Julie Marie Berman had work done? Why am I not surprised? Her face looks like an immovable porcelain doll's. That forehead has been mega-botoxed. Perhaps a rhinoplasty was thrown in, too.

Seeing the lovely Judi Evans on Days and contrasting it with her stint on ATWT at the end of last year, I'm wondering whether Judi got a modest face lift in between shows. Her neck- and jaw-line look crisp.

P.S.: Gray Bunny, that gorgeous cat in your signature is the most adorable minx I have ever seen!

That's my bet on Julie Berman, Botox and nose job.

Judi Evans either had a mild S lift (it's focused on the jawline) or she lost weight. I'm not sure which way to go on that judgment, Judi's always been a woman whose carried weight in her face, she looks fit and strong on DAYS, so it may just be weight loss. She has very nice skin for someone of her skin type. She could have been all freckled and wrinkled, but nope, not her.

I think she was asked, and that quote came from, the Wendy Williams Show this year... At least I remember laughing at it, and that was the only place I ever saw Jackie interviewed. (I found it amusing how she went on about how her novels aren't even remotely fiction, just different names--then recounteded the ridiculous story of the one she's promoting, Poor Little Bitch Girl. I mean I get that she gets a lot of the character ideas from people she knows, and has gotten into trouble for it, but it seemed almost like she was doing herself a disservice going on and on about how her books were "all true".

Look at the smirk. Hilarious.

The thing with Jackie Collins is that she isn't a 'literary' writer. She's never claimed to be. Rather, she's a storyteller. While Joan is the kind of woman who likes to be in the middle of the action, Jackie is more of an observer and a MUCH bigger gossip than Joan could even hope to be. Joan loves to talk about herself wheras Jackie loves to talk about other people. All of her books have reflected that. Dominick Dunne wrote similarly, he never bothered with saying what he thought about X,Y or Z...it was always about what the beautiful people had to say or do that fascinated him.

And saying it's all true is a smart marketing tactive on her part. In this day, people love tabloids, TMZ, Entertainment Tonight, Perez...the more the better. Jackie Collins is just cashing in on that phenomena. Ultimately, her books are about personalities...be they real or fake it doesn't matter so long as her fans find them compelling.

Jackie gives good interview, but she is hardly spontaneous, she is very smart and delivers her message (BUY MY BOOK!) with zest.

"Listen Jackie my first husband Maxwell Reed is just coming in, I better go. Ciao darling, keep writing!"

Honestly, one my most precious lines of dialogue ever written.

Jackie's only written one book that was basically real and that was Hollywood Wives. There are several people who still don't speak to her because she based her characters on them.

Lest we forget though that she's based several characters on her sister, notably Fontaine Khaled in The Stud and The Bitch but also Silver Anderson in Hollywood Husbands.

Has Victoria Principal been mentioned here? Sorry if I missed it. Daytime, what do you think of her and what she has done? I believe she keeps denying that she had plastic surgery but that's bullsh*t.

However, she does look better in some recent pictures of her I've seen.

Victoria hasn't been mentioned...but oh she's worth a few lines...

Victoria is a nice lady, met her a few times, very friendly and not super 'Hollywood' as she's not a big partier. She's a savvy businesswoman, her Principal Secret line of skincare has made her very rich. Her face was really worked over by her now ex-husband, plastic surgeon Harry Glassman, right around 1999/2000 when she made her last TV appearance in the 'so terrible I loved it' Aaron Spelling prime time soap Titans. She's had a very tight facelift, eye work and what I consider to be a terrible brow lift. For years she had the constant look of 'surprise!' on her face. She's never admitted to this plastic surgery, but in my view it is very obvious. Joan Rivers level obvious to be quite frank (worth pointing out that Rivers and Principal HATE each other, no clue why).

It's been at least 10 years since her surgery and it's calmed down a lot. Nothing fixes bad work like time. She's still using Botox and has opted for Fillers now, both of which she admits to and they've substantially softened her appearance. So she's done OK with what I consider semi-botched plastic surgery. She's looking a lot more human now.

Quite frankly, I think divorcing the ex-husband is what's helped her look better. I think that was a longtime bad marriage. She seems far less tense now, much calmer, more together.

She lives in Malibu, what can I say? I dig her.

Jackie's never commented on it. She lives in Beverly Hills exclusively and only goes to the UK for business or to see family.

Joan, on the other hand, has seen it and according to Jennifer Saunders LOVED it. When the two filmed the movie A Midwinter's Tale in 1995 Jennifer Saunders was quite concerned that Joan would absolutely despise her. Instead, Joan ended up reciting lines of the sketch to Jennifer during lulls in filming, particularly the lines from Macbeth.

    • Ana Alicia was far more dynamic and charismatic than McGeehan or Vernon though. Some of it due to the writing of course, but not all of it.
    • It actually felt like TM-G was a bit softer in her scenes with nu-Ted that kind of matched his meeker energy as Ted on Friday. I was very curious how she’d play off him and now I have my answer.
    • My thoughts exactly! Fantastic find @DRW50!  
    • That was interesting; thanks. Courtney looks tired and/or bored AF, LOL!
    • 5-12   Lord have mercy.   I'm not sure how I feel about it. Perhaps what I said last week or the week before last. If the highlight of a soap is what people are wearing and not the writing, that's not a good thing. And that was how I was feeling watching this. There was not anyone that I was interested in seeing in the episode outside of Daniel and Sally tbh. Because Daniel continues to be the only thing that humanizes Phyllis for me.    I could care less for the Billy/Sally scenes where he's woe is me. I could care less about Kyle/Claire since the writers took all the drama right out of the pairing. Humanized or not, I could care less for Giggly Heffa.    I barely care for Teriah. But for me, it's nice to see something going on with them. Though it seems so horribly contrived.    I liked the costume designer appears to be trying to find individual styles for some of the characters. For me, Tessa's with the boots stood out given her indie musician history. It seems like Claire's style is coming into its own with block colors. I like Kyle's wardrobe is loosening up somewhat. I even loved the striped dress that Phyllis had on.    But again...where is the writing?
    • It was reported that Jane Wyman absence in the final season was due to health (it's documented that Jane was diabetic) but I believe her episodes being cut was a budget mode move. Similar move Dallas pulled in 1990, it was reported that Barbara Bel Geddes retired due to health (it's documented that Barbara had a heart condition) but I say salary dump. Jane Wyman only acted once after Falcon Crest, a 1993 episode of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, but she lived another 14 years after that. Barbara Bel Geddes did not act again after her last episode of Dallas in 1990 but she lived another 15 years after that. The trifecta of suck at Lorimar was Les Moonves, Leonard Katzman, and Michael Filerman. It was a pattern across all three CBS primetime soaps in the off the rails plus budget mode era to salary dump the long-time female cast members and bring on sweet young things hired on the cheap. 
    • To be fair, more than half of them are dead now. 
    • Kat may be a privileged elitist but that's not entirely true.  Kat first met Eva when Eva was snooping at Nicole's desk, so Kat's first impression of Eva wasn't very good.  Plus, Kat's instinct to not trust Eva was 100% right.  Kat's attitude toward Eva had nothing to do with Eva not "bowing" down to Kat, and her feelings toward her half-sister is very justified......minus the making fun of Eva's clothes of course. 
    • They said that this has metastasized to his bones, but the type of "aggressive" prostate cancer he has is actually very common and is treatable, or at least manageable. So the headline is misleading.   Apparently this type of cancer is hormonal which makes it somewhat treatable? But still, of course, sad.  Thinking of him and his loved ones.
    • Kat is a spoiled brat princess and Silk Press Sheila called her out on it.  Silk Press Sheila is someone not to mess with. I was actually scared for Kat when she was alone with Silk Press Sheila and recording their conversation.
