Woah! In [this](http://socialitelife.com/images/2007/08/lauren_hill_080707_01.jpg) one you can see right up both nostrils into her brain. I’ve never seen that far up anyone’s nose before. While my eyeballs were seeking relief from that they chanced upon the back of her throat where I couldn’t help but notice she has no uvula.

On top of all that she looks exactly like 1986 Oprah if you were having a horrible time on acid.

Keep in mind that these aren’t paparazzi shots taken of Hill on a day when she didn’t have any clean laundry in the house. These are pictures of her giving a concert so presumedly this is her at her “best”.

That’s pretty bad, but not as bad as Neneh Cherry going from [this](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EQCOshGwPI) to [this](http://www.buddyx.com/NenehCherry/neneh_welcome.htm) in 15 years.

But hell, Lauryn Hill is only 32 to Neneh Cherry’s 43.

Neneh Cherry still looks and sounds [good](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAzMt42Lb9A), IMO. 🙂

Oh, I’m so glad she’s just looking like a foolish clown! I couldn’t see the after pictures at work and I thought she’d done an [Eddie Van Halen.](http://www.fresnobeehive.com/archives/upload/2007/03/scaryeddie.jpg). Turns out she has just forgotten how to dress, comb her hair and put on make-up and has not actually destroyed herself.

I agree. Too bad her songs still suck. 😛
