Dynasty legend Joan Collins has shown up on our TV’s again as the face of Snickers, alongside her former co-star Stephanie Beacham, and the actress is drumming up some publicity for the advertising campaign, by taking a pop at the badly-dressed people of Britain and those who are partial to a bit of Botox now and again.

‘I feel people don’t care about the way they present themselves,’ the 78-year-old said, adding that ‘dressing well is a fun thing to do.’ Joan, who is currently on her fifth husband, imagined that ‘it doesn’t cost a lot of money’ to afford decent clothes, and compared an expensive casual outfit of jeans, trainers and an anorak, to a ‘nice suit from Zara or Marks & Spencer.’ She didn’t specify where she got her figures from on this topic.

The self-confessed ‘Diva’ went on to talk about her dislike of cosmetic surgery, describing Botox rather dramatically as ‘poison’, and saying ‘with facelifts, I’ve seen some good ones and bad ones, but having plastic surgery in your 20’s is sad and dangerous.’ Ms Collins attributes her own youthful complexion to a strictly regimented routine, one that she has been sticking to for ‘400 years!’ she assured The Daily Mail today. ‘I never go to bed without taking off my make-up and applying night cream.’ She revealed, although, there are probably those in the entertainment industry that remain sceptical about the Dynasty stars claims.

Kirstie Alley is joining the long list of celebrities who are having dental problems of late, she’s in the company of Kim Kardashian, Hulk Hogan, and The Saturday’s member Una Healey, but the actress has decided to pursue an alternative route to recovery, by asking her fans for advice on how to proceed with treatment.

After finding out she needed a root canal filling, the 61-year-old – who celebrated her birthday just last week – took to her Twitter page to ask her followers if they knew a good dentist, or if they could provide her with any tips for avoiding an extraction. Kirstie seemed anxious to avoid any kind of surgical treatment and could even be called slightly hysterical, as she tweeted ‘Good Morning!!!! Who needs a root canal??? I do!! I do!!…ugh. Hey!! Any great dentists on here with advice?? Pros and Cons of root canals… and other solutions?? Love an alternative…Not extraction.’

Unfortunately for the Cheers star, dental decay has taken hold on one of her teeth, with a large cavity opening up and causing her problems, and it’s likely that she won’t be able to avoid that dentist’s drill, especially since she’s not enthusiastic about having the offending tooth pulled out. Her followers were at a loss to give her helpful pointers, as a root canal is often a last resort before extraction, to prevent infection spreading to the rest of the teeth.

You might think Kim Kardashian would be used to people primping and preening her for the adoring public, but as it turns out, she’s not a fan of the dentist’s chair, whether it’s for cosmetic enhancement or more common procedures like fillings. The 31-year-old reality star just hasn’t stopped since she filed for divorce from her husband of 72 days, Kris Humphries, she’s been out and about shopping, partying, and promoting the family brand like there’s no tomorrow. However, it seems the heavy work load has left her with less time to look after her teeth.

Several hours ago, the second eldest of the Kardashian clan, posted on her Twitter page that she hadn’t enjoyed her time at the clinic, but also tweeted her thanks to the dentist, saying; ‘A day at the dentist is never fun! Well unless its with Dr. Kevin Sands! Love you doc but fillings suck. #halfmyfaceisnumb.’

Dental issues are likely to be the least of Kim’s problems at the moment, as she is currently embroiled in a lawsuit with Old Navy parent company The Gap, over use of a look-a-like model in their latest advertising campaign. The Kardashian franchise are hoping to pocket over $20million if they can prove that Kim’s image has been tarnished as a result of the commercial, which allegedly confused people in the marketplace and deliberately promoted the product using her likeness.

Irish singer, Sharon Corr, has come under fire as she prepares for an appearance on new talent show The Voice; beautician and social climber Danielle Meagher, has said that the 41-year-old TV mentor should consider minor cosmetic surgery to keep herself looking young and fresh-faced. Could it be a coincidence that 31-year-old Danielle, who is often referred to as Dr Botox among her clients, is currently filming the reality show Southside Housewives? Perhaps the socialite is looking to garner some publicity for the project.

‘Gosh,’ Danielle commented on her Facebook page, ‘Sharon Corr in great shape body-wise, but… she has lost volume in her face and will certainly need some Juvederm (dermal filler) to replace lost volume and also Botox for her forehead.’

Ms Meagher later removed the post after some backlash from fans of The Voice, and admitted that she shouldn’t have put it up, but didn’t seem anxious to avoid putting her foot in it further, adding ‘I was surprised that the panel of The Voice hadn’t had a little bit more ‘maintenance’ work.’ She then went on to compare the judges to those on The X Factor, whom she felt were better ‘maintained.’ It shouldn’t come as a shock to readers that ‘Dr Botox’ is well-known among her fellow ‘housewives’, and runs her own clinic that provides lip-fillers and Botox for Irelands up-coming socialites and aspiring TV stars.

Women in the public eye are under the constant scrutiny of the press, and it’s often shocking what lengths they will go to, in order to remain youthful and appealing, but it might surprise you to learn that men can be just as insecure about their looks. Simon Cowell recently admitted to experimenting with dermal fillers, and David Hasselhoff has made no secret of his cosmetic enhancements, but now it seems that men who aren’t famous are taking advantage of anti-aging treatments as well.

‘Bro-tox’, as it has been dubbed in America, refers to men of all ages undergoing Botox treatment, and it’s really taking off; over 300,000 men in the USA had filler injections last year, and the trend shows no signs of slowing down. A recent feature on Good Morning America put a group of ordinary working men in the spotlight, and the results were impressive.

38-year-old Marc, from Detroit, was shocked when his wife presented him with a gift voucher for Botox at Christmas, but was pleasantly surprised by the outcome. Another participant, Johnny Markoudakis, was also thrilled with how he looked after undergoing treatment, saying ‘I love it. It’s only been a week, but people are telling me I look less stressed.’

Plastic surgeon Dr Anthony Griffin explained that the pressure to appear younger and fitter wasn’t something just women experienced; ‘It’s still a competition in our society for looks and, you know, better-looking men get paid more, and they get prettier girls.’

The cast members of hit reality show The Only Way Is Essex are recognisable by their neon-orange tans, hairs extensions, cosmetic enhancements, and incredibly white veneers, and it seems Joey Essex is not one to be left out of the action. The twenty-one-year-old had his teeth done before Christmas, but has only recently stepped out to show the tabloids the results of his dental work, and he might be duly worried that he’s overdone it, if the reaction to his bright new smile is anything to go by.

Joey flashed is blinding gnashers at the paparazzi during a night out at the Aura Club in London, and then later attempted to divert attention from his pearly whites by leaving his Brentwood home the next morning in a red all-in-one with his name printed in big letters on the back. Unfortunately, even this fashion faux-pas wasn’t enough to disguise his enhanced smile; let’s hope he wasn’t going for the natural look.

Joey spoke to Now magazine in December, saying he planned on getting veneers fitted in time for the TOWIE Christmas special, ‘so they’ll be bright and white’. He splashed out more than £4,000 on dental improvements, but wasn’t keen on the idea of having his teeth reshaped, he ‘I’m not having them cut down or anything – that would hurt way too much.’ He then thanked The Hospital Group via Twitter, saying ‘Thanks to @hospitalgroupuk for my new Reem smile!’

Wrestler-turned-actor Hulk Hogan is bringing in the New Year with a few changes to his public image; he’s shaving his head and removing the iconic moustache in preparation for some new acting opportunities. The 58-year-old is getting ready for some auditions, after only recently recovering from dental complications that left him in agony.

Hulk was undergoing dental implant surgery in October last year, in order to replace some missing teeth and improve his chances of rebuilding his acting career. The wrestler admitted that losing the teeth was his own fault, after neglecting to clean them properly, ‘After many years of not taking care of teeth correctly, I had to finally have surgery,’ he said. Unfortunately, according to the wresting star, his dentist accidentally left a metal tack in his mouth after fitting him for a mould, which developed into a nasty infection that wouldn’t shift for several weeks.

The treatment that followed involved drilling a hole in the side of Hogan’s jaw, in order to remove the infected tissue, then cleaning the area thoroughly. ‘I’m good to go.’ He said today, but added ‘It feels like somebody punched me in the face.’ He also had a few words of advice for his young fans regarding dental care, saying ‘The theme for today is ‘kids, take care of your teeth’, because if you stuff candy in your mouth, you’re going to rot your teeth out.

TV actor Charlie Sheen was back in the news this week as he unveiled a brand new set of teeth, but his recent appearance at the Fox’s All-Star Party in Pasadena, California, left some of his fans wondering whether his dental work was just beginning.

Dressed casually in jeans and a blazer, the 46-year-old was grinning from ear to ear as he chatted with Anger Management’s executive producer, Bruce Helford, revealing at least one tooth that seemed to be a much whiter shade than the rest of them. Although Sheen’s smile is much improved, the ivory crown, that has replaced his infamous gold incisor, stood out starkly against his tanned face and newly dyed hair. It’s possible that the tooth is simply a temporary crown, put in place while a permanent one is prepared, or perhaps the TV star is planning to have the rest of his teeth whitened to match it.

Most of Charlie Sheen’s dental problems have been blamed on his abuse of substances during a very public firing and breakdown last year, but the father-of-five now insists he is ‘not crazy anymore’ and considers himself ‘mellower’. His cleaned up image could go some way to proving that, as he begins work on several TV and advertising projects. The actor claims he has turned over a new leaf, saying ‘That was an episode. I’m a different person than I was yesterday.’

Girl group member Una Healy is no stranger to publicity, she’s part of one of the biggest girl-bands in Britain at the moment – The Saturday’s, and she recently announced that she was expecting her first child with Rugby player boyfriend Ben Foden, but she had to keep her winning smile out of the limelight for a few hours on Sunday, after she chipped one of her front teeth.

The 29-year-old was quick to call on her celebrity contacts for assistance when she knocked out piece of her tooth, enlisting the help of dentist-to-the-stars, Dr David Bloom. Dr Bloom has hit the tabloids in the past few months, when he was named as the surgeon behind X-Factor judge Tulisa’s new veneers, and he boasts several other big name clients. Like her fellow celeb, Una took to Twitter to thank the dentist, and she wasn’t afraid to mention his name outright – despite the hot water Tulisa found herself in for doing something similar.

‘Oh no, just knocked out a chip from my tooth filling!’ The Irish singer tweeted on Sunday night, before updating her fans just fourteen hours later, stating that the damage had been repaired; ‘Yay my tooth is all fixed up thanks for drdavidbloom.’ Dr Bloom might find a lot more business coming his way, thanks to the free advertising from his famous friends.

There’s no denying Charlie Sheen has had rough time of it in the past year or so – mostly of his own doing – but things are looking up for the troubled actor, and he’s got the smile to prove it. The 46-year-olds brand new teeth were on show today, after he posted a picture of himself and his dentist, Dr Kevin Sands, on his web page.

Just a few months back, Charlie was seen around Hollywood looking dishevelled, with wrinkly skin, badly dyed hair, and a decaying smile, complete with gold crowns – something which had previously been blamed on his substance abuse. The Two and a Half Men star also shocked his fans by indulging in drink and drugs, as well as keeping some strange company, and taking part in ill-advised television interviews, where he maintained that he was ‘winning’, rather than unravelling speedily in front of the world’s media. Now, it seems, he’s a changed man; his hair is much improved, his demeanour is calmer, and he described his experience in the dentist’s chair as ‘brilliant’. Dropping hints about his upcoming jobs, the actor plugged his treatment on his website, saying ‘today spent w/brilliant cosmetic dentist Dr Kevin Sands! The grill is now perfect for Fiat, DirectTV & Anger Management! Smile World!’

Charlie’s new sitcom Anger Management has been picked up by FX, and is based loosely on the 2003 movie of the same name.
