This show is horrible. But yet I have to watch it. I disagree with alot of it but yet, i have to see how they look afterwards it's weird.

Here in Canada were only on the second epsiode with the Britney Spears girl. MTV doesn't pay for this do they, Like the plastic surgery?

Winslet: MTV Made Me Cry
There's at least one celebrity who isn't a fan of MTV's plastic surgery makeover show "I Want a Famous Face." Kate Winslet tells the London Times she broke down in tears as she watched a fan named Jennette undergo several painful procedures, including a boob job and tummy tuck, to look more like her.

"I could not believe this girl was putting herself through this because she wanted to look like what she thought I looked like," the "Eternal Sunshine" beauty tells the paper. "I just felt so powerless."

Winslet says she felt it was her duty to watch the show, but admits within minutes she was "crying in horror." "This girl had collected magazine covers with me on the front," she recalls. "And she was saying, 'I really want to have Kate Winslet's breasts. Just look at how well-shaped they are, pert and soft.' And I thought, No, darling, my breasts don't look like that. I've had two kids. It's a digitally altered image!"

Last year, GQ admitted to airbrushing a cover photo of the fabulously curvaceous Winslet to make her appear leaner. In the interview accompanying the controversial picture, the actress insisted, "I'm certainly not a sex symbol who doesn't eat."

As for MTV's subject, Kate says she doesn't see any post-op resemblance, despite the extreme measures. "I certainly don't have breasts remotely like those she ended up with," says Winslet. "Trust me. She had slabs of her stomach taken out. Liposuction! What the ******* is going on?"

Jennette, at least, has no regrets. "I am more than pleased with the results of the surgery! I feel foxy and ferocious!" she tells MTV, though she adds she has yet to be mistaken for her idol.

Now, do I actually have anything to say? Not so much. I discovered the existence of I Want a Famous Face, or whatever the **** that show is on MTV, and I officially decided that MTV is evil for allowing such a miserable show to exist. It's almost paralyzing how horrible that is. I watched it with my hand over my mouth repeating out loud that I couldn't believe this show was allowed. I felt sick. It is indeed sickening. What the **** kind of message is that, exactly? "Don't like who you are, kids? Think the way you look is ruining your life because you don't resemble your favorite famous person? Hating being an individual because Britney is so much cooler than you? Well, not to worry! BECOME SOMEONE ELSE!!! Yes, that's right - throw away those baby pictures and birth certificates and forget you ever were who you were...that's right, just a nobody. It's time to stop thinking that who you are is at all enough to be happy. The solution is to change. Yes, you need a new face, a face of someone who MATTERS, and WE can do that for you! Through the use of all our best plastic surgeons, you'll never have to be who you are again. You'll never have to look at yourself in the mirror again. Happiness is not just worshipping those stars in Tiger Beat, it's actually becoming them. Unique Smoonique - let's all be Brad Pitt, and the world will be a better place."

Sickening.

What do you think of this and the thing I posted above?

I totally agree.. Im all for plastic surgery in accidents etc.. why cant everyone be unique? everyone is beautiful in their own way.. The latest one in Oz we got is a couple got plastic surgery before their wedding day wtf... very disgraceful.. and tacky.. But then again although I will never go through with it, I always wonder what it will be like to be erm.. bigger hehe

people don't need plastic surgery to be pretty, this show is teaching people t hats what they need to be someone, it's so disgusting!

Ok what I want to know is if these people are REALLY paying for this themselves...I mean come on...why would someone just let MTV follow them and how in the world did MTV find these people? Did they put something on their website saying they were looking for people who want surgery to look like a famous person? Someting about this is really fishy.

Lame show by the way. Those twins looked terrible...I'm sure the girls will definitely be flocking to them

. And if I saw one more damn commercial for that guy who wanted to look like J Lo...
