Top 10 celebs who need to step away from the scalpel

In a society that gobbles up trashy celeb rags and watches Access Hollywood before dinner, we tend to well, take it kinda personally when our favorite stars start f*cking with the faces we originally fell in love with. That seems to be the overriding sentiment behind The Frisky's look into the method behind the madness of ten famous examples of disastrous cosmetic surgery meltdowns. While Nicole Kidman, Heather Locklear, Meg Ryan and Jennifer Grey were somewhat surprisingly absent from the list, they did manage to remind me of the pain I felt when Jennifer chopped off her famous nose in order to look, quite frankly, more boring. Who made the, ahem, "cut"?

Number ten on the list is Melanie Griffith, and there's no disagreement from me. What was Melanie thinking when she waltzed in to some surgeon's office and demanded Angelina Jolie's lips? Literally, it was a big mistake. Nine is Kenny Rogers, who admitted to People that he regrets looking like an alien, not a country legend. Courtney Love is a reminder that at first, her augmentation looked undeniably kind of great, but that less is always more when it comes to the undertaking. Mickey Rourke and Burt Reynolds are just pathetic, and Joan Rivers and Faye Dunaway (who, with her insane bone structure, absolutely would've naturally aged beautifully) are victims of Madamism:

The term is based on the puppet-like effect caused by too much plastic surgery, and was coined from the puppet "Madame" who has appeared numerous times on television game show Hollywood Squares, and dance show, Solid Gold.

The worst plastic surgery victim of all time? C'mon, I'm sure you can guess. While Jocelyn Wildenstein's M.O. continues to perplex--heck, and even astound us--the most tragic downfall is OWNED by Michael Jackson, perhaps because his repeated attempts to alter his image seem to stem more from some deep seeded self-loathing and not gross vanity. (It seems as though some Hollywood celebs are beginning to regret their plastic surgery decisions.)

So I say to you today my friends, let these train wrecks be a lesson to us all: Next time you're feeling all s---ty about aging and your mind starts to wander towards Park Avenue, remember, at least you still look like you, and not a hideous taut-faced puppet that scares the living crap out of small children.
