Kate Gosselin blows thousands of dollars on Botox & budget weaves

Life & Style is claiming in this week’s issue that Kate Gosselin has spent $21,000 on her hair – this year. So far. According to their insider, Kate has been going to stylist Ted Gibson (who was responsible for the 22-hour budget-weaving process back in January) to get her hair “did” over and over. The insider claims: “She had her extensions reapplied two weeks ago. Extensions cost $5,000, color costs about $500 and cuts with Ted Gibson are $950- each without tax.” And what about her being a poor single mother who is just doing all of this for her children, so they won’t have to go without… without a mother with a budget weave? Another insider snipes: “Her extensions take six to eight hours!Life & Style then estimates that Kate has spent 50 hours since January in the hair stylist’s salon. That’s a lot of time and money to look so cheap, right? To look like, on a good day, a Real Housewife reject.

Speaking of Kate spending her millions of dollars on crap she doesn’t need, Us Weekly is calling Kate out on what they see as her “botched Botox job”. They threw up a side-by-side before and after photos which they claim shows Kate’s botched Botox – the photos are here. I’m sorry, we don’t have access to the photo of Kate’s Botoxy face, because it is really funny, and I do think she got something done. Anyway, Us Weekly got some plastic surgeons to comment on the hideous work:

Kate Gosselin had oddly spiked eyebrows and a noticeably smoother face as she ran errands in Pennsylvania on Monday. The reason? After comparing before and after photos (left), plastic surgeons tell UsMagazine.com the reality mom, 35, had botox treatments gone wrong.

“She looked much better in the earlier photo: great hair, nice smile and a normal brow position,” says Dr. Michael Olding, the chief of The George Washington University’s division of plastic surgery.

In the “after” photo, she “has the typical appearance of Dysport or Botox poorly placed in the space between the brows where frown lies occur,” adds Olding. But because Gosselin didn’t have any injectables put in her forehead, “the lateral part of her brow is elevated in an abnormally high position, which my patients refer to as McDonald’s arches!”

Explains NYC-based Dr. Steven Pearlman, “The center of her eyebrows are dropped and spread, which can happen from Botox treatment of the forehead frown lines.”

Pearlman believes Gosselin may have been injected in the shape of a “V” on her forehead, meaning the muscles near her temple weren’t affected “so they over act, giving this Jack Nicholson type of look! Her upper eyelids look a little hollow, which can be as a result of the brows being pulled upward.”

Gosselin’s surgeon is slammed by ScientificSkin.com owner Dr. Kenneth Beer: “This is a bad injection technique with poor placement. The injections were done in a cookbook pattern with no consideration for her particular anatomy. Her outer brow is too peaked, which gives her a devilish appearance.”

Luckily for Gosselin, the botched Botox “can be corrected by a few injections above her eyebrows to let them drop a bit,” says Dr. Tony Youn. “Or by just waiting a few months for the Botox effects to subside.”

This isn’t Gosselin’s first plastic surgery. Us Weekly has reported the Twist of Kate star consulted her bodyguard, Steve Neild (with whom she has denied having an affair), before undergoing a March 2009 breast enhancement. After delivering sextuplets, she also got a free tummy tuck by Dr. Lawrence Glassman. (A few years later, her estranged husband, Jon, dated the doctor’s 23-year-old daughter, Hailey Glassman.)

I find it rather sad/funny that Kate Gosselin is trying to desperately to be a “star” or “celebrity” in the more conventional sense. This is a women who has no artistic talent whatsoever – she can’t dance, sing, or act, she can’t find any kind of charm or charisma, and she’s basically a dumb grifter who figured out a way to make money under the guise of “motherhood”. She actually thinks she’s competing on the same level as someone like, say, Megan Fox, or Julia Roberts. She thinks she’s America’s Sweetheart. And America’s Sweetheart has to look good! Hence the Botox, the budget weave, the boob job, and the progressively revealing clothing – she wants attention, she wants to be a “star.” Too bad she has no style or talent or anything to hold our interest other than as a bizarre, random object of ridicule.

While Gosselin admitted Dovolani was not Gosselins first choice for DWTS season 10, they seem to have hit it off, showing their undeniable chemistry that can only grown as the two plan on rehearsing in the private quarters of Gosselin's family house. Could sparks fly, and jealousy brew from Gosselin's alleged lover/bodyguard, Steve Neild? Time will only tell. Fame Pictures, Inc

    Kaiser: You described her perfectly. I did look at the Botox pics & OMG, people pay to look like that! Love her snarl in the 3rd bottom pic, that’s how I always picture her.

  2. lucy2 says:

    I believe very few things out of L&S, but yeah, I’m willing to buy this.
    I’m sure she needs Botox and weaves to help feed her poor starving children.
    Holy crap, that before & after photo looks like 2 different people!!!

  3. RHONYC says:

    of course you meant ‘busted weaves’, right kaiser?

    plus, don’tcha just love how stubby fingered broads always over hand-gesture for effect their horrible fake acrylic nails?

    like that manishcure is gonna help de-uglify those god awful hands. 🙁

  4. dovesgate says:

    I cant believe this woman thinks she looks good. If I were to spend over a thousand dollars and 22 hours at a salon, I had better come out looking fabulous or they will be fixing it.

    For that kind of time and money, there is no excuse for her to look so horrible. If the problem with her hair is blending the extensions with the super short hair she had, why didnt she just get a wig? Lace fronts are gorgeous when worn properly.

    Edited to add: Maybe this is a seriously budget wig? It took the stylist so long to try to figure out how to dye a nylon wig then have to cut it and recut it and redye it? I could totally see her insisting on getting a wig the wrong color and making someone try to fix it. And I do believe the last Halloween wig I bought was the same texture.

  5. denise says:

    Can you imagine having 8 kids? (all under the age of 10) I’d probably be in a pissy mood too.

  6. KJ says:

    Look guys, she’s got a lifestyle to maint-I mean…8 hungry mouths to feed. She just can’t go back to being a nurse!

  7. TeeTee says:

    not surprised, smdh

    she’s a star in her eyes, and with 2 new shows, she’s only just begun.

  8. texasmom says:

    The longer she’s around the sorrier I feel for her. I mean, I feel sorrier for her kids, and I don’t like her at ALL, but she is just pathetic. She’s crocked her life up completely and not only doesn’t seem to notice, seems to think she just has to do all the things that messed her life up, only HARDER, to fix things. She’s doomed.

  9. Angie says:

    Ummmm, this hag chose to have eight kids under the age of 10…furthermore she chose to use those children as her meal ticket. She should be on freaking cloud nine and kissing their little feet because THOSE CHILDREN are the only reason anyone knows who she is (whether we want to or not) and the only reason she can afford to look so cheap and tacky!!!!!

  10. Miss says:

    Yeah, the botox- not so much but I think she is really pretty otherwise. Another one I like that doesn’t always get painted in the best light. If you know what I mean.

  11. JaisyMaisy says:

    She looks like a chubbier Rachel Zoe in one of those pics. Not a compliment.

  12. DoMaJoReMc says:

    Now, anyone that knows my posts, knows that this next sentence is effing difficult to even write…but in the third photo down (aside from her snaaaaarl!) I think she looks GORGEOUS! Although I do think this is an unusually flattering photo. Almost like a shorter haired Leann Tuoy (sp?). Other than that, I think she is draining the family’s money on unnecessary things (for herself) and then comes crying to the public that she ‘needs to feed her family’. Now, for all of you Khate KoolAid drinkers out there, PLEASE add up all the costs for her to be ‘glamorous’. None of it is necessary AT ALL to be a good Mom.

  13. machiavelli says:

    Isn’t she a nurse? She has to be intelligent…?

  14. Lisa says:

    No one is really sure how much money she has, I mean I agree this is nonsense but seriously I’m sure their house is paid for and her cars are paid for!!!! She’s probably not that bad off and she’s got everyone fooled…she does have two new shows and lord knows how many more in the making and we all know what tlc was paying them before so just imagion it now!!!

    As for these Botox photos def would say she’s had it done…in my opinion it somewhat looks like a face lift and ALSO check out the nose…kinda looks smaller to me.

  15. Rosalind says:

    Yes she has 8 kids. She also as a team of nannys and helpers.

  16. Cinderella says:

    McDonalds arches! LOL!

    Lady’s gotta make that money to pay the team of people raising her kids.

  17. Heaven-bound says:

    @ Machiavelli

    Isn’t she a nurse? She has to be intelligent…?
    *************************************************
    I know plenty of stupid nurses, and I know were she gets her ego trips from, The nursing field is full of cliquey, catty, “I thinks I am better than the rest of you” women. ( not all, but the majority.)

  18. Alice Tripp's ghost says:

    Nobody has ever mentioned Kate’s nose job? I can’t determine when she got it done, but the shiny tip is the giveaway.

  19. buckley says:

    Her outer brow is too peaked, which gives her a devilish appearance.”

    haha…methinks she manages that just by being herself.

  20. danielle says:

    Uh – if that’s not just a bad photo she needs to sue her plastic surgeon.

  21. Kelaa Khaa says:

    Thanks for the link to the photo and KG is heading into Jenna Jameson territory.

  22. Melanie says:

    Can somebody please explain why such an expensive and extensive hair style is called a “budget weave”? Is it to fool the hubby when the credit card bills roll in?

  23. original kate says:

    when will this broad go away?!

  24. Paul E. Stanley says:

    People, people people….Please remember. She will do whatever she has to to support her 8 children. Even if that means she has to spend $21,000 on hair. And whatever else she spends on plastic surgery. I can’t stand this person.

  25. Laurie says:

    She looks even more cheap and nasty now. Holy Botox eyes!!! Maybe she will go away for a few months while the botox wears off – we can only hope!

  26. Taya says:

    Angie..

    Great comment. Could not have said it better myself.

  27. old broad 1 says:

    June 24th, 2010 at 6:00 pm @ Machiavelli SAID

    Isn’t she a nurse? She has to be intelligent…?
    ——————————–LOL MY daughter in law is a nurse and she is dumber than a box of rocks..we all call her paper towel as she is so “self absorbed” She acts just like kate G
    My son said they had to stop buying Christmas gifts and birthday presents for our family as it cuts into her hair nails and clothing budget.He is sooo whipped by the way– JUST LIKE JOHN.

  28. Robin says:

    No way this stupid broad is going away—-1500+ hits on Radar for a “great” photo opp at Target.
    Go figure……….and DON’T hit on those ridiculous articles from ROL.

  29. Fluffy Kitten Tail says:

    I’d rather see her instead of that dumb looking ex of hers.

  30. greekfrk says:

    Not sure if this is news but I already spent $150 bucks this year on my hair.

  31. Justme says:

    She’s an a-hole… please please stop covering her because this is exactly what she wants… Like a spoiled little kid negative attention is better than no attention at all.

  32. Isa says:

    Melanie- It’s called a budget weave because it’s cheap looking.

  33. Anastasia says:

    Well, if she has all this money then she better stop crying poverty all the time about how HAAARRRRDDD it is to raise eight kids, blah blah blah. Eight moneymakers, more like it.

    She’s sold her kids’ private lives for public consumption and her own personal wealth.

    I don’t feel at all sorry for her for having eight kids, they weren’t exactly an accident!!! And she’s not exactly raising them, anyway, the nannies are.

  34. kelbear says:

    OMG so what! are we part of her life? No! so move on along now!

  35. Anastasia says:

    Kelbear: you’d have a point if she weren’t a public figure, chasing after fame.

  36. crash2GO2 says:

    She’s obviously raising her eyebrows as well, which is easily seen by the furrows ABOVE her eyebrows.

    She may have had some between the eyes, maybe not. Maybe she just got her eyebrows waxed in a different shape.

  37. mollination says:

    serious slow clap for Kaiser. You said it all girl. That’s her described perfectly.

    And how sadly pathetic does she look in that last picture? Just so clueless and pathetic.

  38. db8ng1 says:

    No way. Kate Gosselin is too financially savvy to have spent this much. She’s probably been comped and the numbers are what she would have paid, had she paid. She’s a shrewd business woman and I can’t see her doing this at all.

    Further, I can’t believe people are so intolerant of a bad picture that they’d blame Botox! Like none of us have those photos that we think, “What the heck was I doing in that picture?”

    As if having a cosmetic surgeon comment on photos makes it more authentic! These aren’t doctor’s that have treated the subject! They are hired to give an opinion! They want to get their name in print too, so they make inflammatory statements and “possible” comments. Read the quotes again. He says that it “can happen from” or “can be the result” of injections.

    People just love to hate. Fine, don’t like the woman but don’t tear her down because you can do it anonymously online!

  39. MsTriste says:

    If ever there was a cautionary tale against using botox, she is it. After seeing those pictures, I will never get it done. Thanks for saving me thousands of dollars Kaiser!

  40. Missfit says:

    I have a feeling she spends most of that money more on herself than her kids, I’m sure she goes off and buys herself the pricey expensive name brand shit, when she probably gets the kids whatever, like target or wal-mart. Not that there is anything wrong with those stores, but at this point with the money she made off of them, she should be buying them some really nice shit too, it should be fair and it’s about the principal. But I agree with everyone here, 100 percent. I also liked her show better in the beginning, when she was more humble, before she went all Hollywood. I’m glad I don’t have cable on my telly, so I don’t have to run into these lame reality shows anymore.

  41. Tracy says:

    WHAT?! I thought this B$#@* was gone….and here they are bringing her back. Man, I was so happy too

  42. GatsbyGal says:

    Holy shit, that botox job. That’s the funniest damn thing I’ve seen all year, I can’t believe she isn’t suing someone over that. Jesus Christ.

  43. fc2010 says:

    Someone make her and her 8 kids go away
    PLEASE….

  44. crab says:

    I’m still trying to swallow the $950 charge for one of Ted Gibson’s hair cuts!! I always watch What Not To Wear and his hair cuts are nothing special!

  45. Maritza says:

    I never understood why people overpay for same stuff they can get at normal lower price. That is such a waste of money…
    The botox I can understand because her smile lines were very noticeable, she looks much better now.

  46. connie says:

    @missfit

    i could care less about kate and don’t have any kids, but regardless of how much i made i wouldn’t be outfitting them in ‘nice shit too’ just so they could grow out of it/ruin it etc

  47. alice says:

    Oh please! give the lady a break she has 8 kids for christ sake! raising even 1 is a handful,and obviously shes famous enough to make it on this celeb blog anyways! Plus im sure any mom of 8 would jump at being able to have kids and still afford things they want for themselves. She s not like the octomom living off our taxes, she works hard and seems like a good mom, everyone should just let her be.

  48. kaligula says:

    “She actually thinks she’s competing on the same level as someone like, say, Megan Fox, or Julia Roberts. She thinks she’s America’s Sweetheart….” what’s this based on? it’s a presumptuous claim. it’s one thing to say she’s annoying. it’s another to claim you know what her motives and thought patterns are.

  49. Just to note, several of her surgeries including her tummy tuck were donated to her during her first years on the show. That wasn’t something she pursued.
