it looks paralyzed, or like an involuntary smirk is always on her face. Am i the only one who notices this? ---

She had a facelift when she moved to Fox News. ---

Yeah, she had plastic surgery. I don’t know anything about the procedure, but it does look pretty unnatural. Shouldn’t her face be more…mobile, or something? Her skin looks way too tight, like if she smiles too wide, her stitches will fly everywhere. ---

She had kind of a crooked mouth before the surgery. But I haven’t seen her since it was done. Any links? By the way, I mostly like her. ---

I used to respect her opinions, till I found out she’s a Scientologist—now I just can’t take her seriously at all. ---

:eek: Holy cow! How strange would that be to see a completely different face in the mirror one morning. Those two pics don’t even look like sisters. Reminds me of my old roommate in Gravity Boots. ---

Bwhaaa… I can’t quit looking at her picture! It looks like she’s getting whooshed. ---

I can’t believe that’s her in the “after” picture. I’m gonna have to tune in. Eve, I had no idea she was a scientologist. Ewwwww!!! Now I’m bummed. But I thought she did a pretty good job with the OJ debacle. ---

I believe everyone on FauxNews is required to the same plastic surgeon. Either that or their presenters are being grown in vats. ---

Seriously, I think she reports hanging like a bat and then they just flip the picture. I’m going to have to tune in and check this out now. “I’m Greta Van Susteren.” “Huh? No you’re not.” ---

She lives in Stepford, Connecticut now. ---

Those pics are not a good comparson, because she’s smiling in one, and not the other. A smile pulls the whole face up, so you can’t compare the two. Unless she can’t stop smiling… ---

BTW She doesn’t own up to a facelift, just to having her eyes done and her hair colored. ---

When she talks, what she has looks like a slight facial nerve paralysis. It reminds me of Sylvester Stallone - who has a facial nerve injusry due to a forceps incident at childbirth. Cite: [http://www.movieclub.com/spotlight/stallone/stallone.html](http://www.movieclub.com/spotlight/stallone/stallone.html) Either that or they hit the nerve too hard with Botox. And I didn’t know she was a Scientologist either - double the reason to freak me out. ---

Her new face pic in the link looks just like the Stone’s cover from [Goat’s Head Soup](http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Park/4760/lyrics/therollingstones.html). ---

Well, the other thing is that in one of the pics in **beagledave** ’s link, she’s wearing a boatload of makeup. In the other pic, practically no make-up. Makes a difference. ---

Ugh! So…she wanted to look younger? Any character that she had in her “before” face has been erased. I wonder what her husband thinks (I’ve heard she’s married). Can you imagine what she must look like lying down? In the “missionary” position? Her face even MORE contorted than it already is by sexual ecstacy??? GAK!!!
