Glee Star Charice Pempengco Gets Botox for Debut

Filipino teenage singer Charice Pempengco  admitted that while preparing for her role on the second season of the hit FOX show ‘Glee,’ she had Botox and an anti-aging procedure, FOXNews reported on July 19. She said she had the procedures done in order to look “fresh” on camera.

The 18-year-old, who’s singing career was launched in part by appearing on several American talk shows, including Ellen DeGeneres’ and Oprah Wifrey’s, underwent a 30-minute Thermage skin-tightening procedure. That procedure, in addition to the Botox, helped make her round face narrower.

Pempengco said during an ABS-CBN television interview that she also had the procedures done because everyone is anticipating how she will look, especially against Rachel Berry. “…of course there is tremendous pressure,” she added.
