Last week, Gwyneth Paltrow was quoted in an interview with Harper's Bazaar saying what everyone else is thinking: That she doesn't want to get too much Botox because she doesn't want to wind up looking like Joan Rivers:
"I would be scared to go under the knife, but you know, talk to me when I'm 50. I'll try anything. Except I won't do Botox again, because I looked crazy. I looked like Joan Rivers!"
Anyone who's ever seen Rivers' face knows that Gwyn makes a fair point, but needless to say Rivers herself was less than amused. She responded today by getting in touch with People.com and providing a quote of her own for Paltrow:
“It just made me laugh. She says Botox made her scary like Joan Rivers? She should see what I look like without Botox. That’s really scary!”
Rivers and her face can be seen regularly on E!'s Fashion Police. Gwyneth's musings about life and love and food can be read in her newsletter, GOOP.
