This is disturbing.
Since the age of 15, Hannah Burge has been receiving Botox injections from her mom, who has been dubbed the Human Barbie, making Hannah the youngest girl in the UK to get the wrinkle filler.
We're not exactly sure that's a title to be proud of.
Hannah says she had two reasons to get the injections: to prevent wrinkles and get rid of "a couple of lines" around her mouth and on her forehead.
Seriously!? She's too young!
Now at 16 year old Hannah makes her vanity issues clear:
"Appearance is important to me and I don't want to look haggard and ugly by the time I'm 25. Some of my friends told me that the earlier you start to have B, the fewer wrinkles you'll have as an adult."
So you'd rather look like Heidi Montag!? Besides, the younger you start, the more you're going to have to maintain it!
Her mom Sarah, who has spent roughly $750,000 on plastic surgery for herself, justifies injecting her daughter with Botox saying:
"I was thrilled Hannah was open and honest with me about having Botox. I'd much rather know about it than have her do it behind my back. I talked her through the procedure and feel I did the responsible thing. I know some parents will be horrified but this is my way of protecting my daughter from back-street rip-off merchants. Also, considering I have had so much surgery, I'd be a hypocrite to tell my daughter she couldn't have Botox."
Has some of that silicone gone to your head!?
There's a difference between being a hypocrite and a responsible parent! She hasn't even finished developing yet!
Fazel Fatah, President-Elect of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon agrees that they're both bat shiz crazy for doing this, saying:
"It is shocking to me, as an experienced surgeon, that anyone would buy from the internet and administer Botox into the face of a 16-year-old. And buying Botox or fillers online is extremely dangerous because the buyer has no idea of the source. The product could be contaminated or not completely pure. Too frequent or excessive dosing of Botox can lead to the patient developing resistance to treatment or may exaggerate any facial asymmetry. Excessive Botox can also cause facial weakness or paralysis, and double vision, if injected incorrectly near the eye area."
We doubt either of them can get that into their Botox'd brains.
If anything good can come out of this, it's a Lifetime movie or at the very least an episode of Oprah.

She's really going out with a bang this year, isn't she.
Next month Oprah will be auction off TONS of shiz that she doesn't want anymore on eBay. Included in the 150 item auction are some barely worn Jimmy Choo shoes, a Chanel handbag and a Carolina Herrera dress.
The money raised from the auction will benefit O's Leadership Academy in South Africa.
The auction starts March 1st and ends on the 11th.

Marketing consultant Millward Brown has created a scoring system that determines how effective a given celebrity would be at endorsements, as well as which brand would be the best fit for each celebrity.
Dubbed Cebra (Celebrity and brand combined), the scoring system works on a scale of 0-100 and weighs three factors: celebrity, buzz, and likeability.
From there, the the personality characteristics are paired with consumers' attitudes about certain brands, which leads to an indication of which celeb works best for which brand.
Millward Brown teamed with Bangor University in the U.K. to develope the measurement system based on the neurological facts about how the brain processes feelings and emotions for various brands and celebrities.
So what were the results?
Well, Will Smith and Brad Pitt tied for first, which is not at all surprising. Tiger Woods (pre-known adulterer) and Oprah came in second place. Denzel Washington scored third, while Clint Eastwood and Ellen DeGeneres tied for fourth. Morgan Freeman, Johnny Depp, and Angelina Jolie came in a three way tie for fifth.
The scoring system determeind that Brad Pitt's all-American quality matched nicely with Gap, Oprah would be a great mascot for Amazon.com, Will Smith would do well for Gillette and Ellen would be good for Priceline.com. Cebra suggested Clint for Chevron and Angie for Visa.
We have to say, we really think those pairings are dead on!
Others who scored well were Miley Cyrus, who was suggested for Starbucks, and Reese Witherspoon, who was paired with Target.
This is a pretty cool development in the marketing world, and it makes us wonder if a high Cebra score will becoming a bargaining chip for celebrities' agents and publicists. This could change the game!
We're sure Ungaro which they had a rating for Lindsay Lohan before hiring her.

As if it isn't enough that talk show queen Oprah Winfrey is going off the air in 2011, a Harpo employee has revealed that they "have no plans this season for a 'Favorite Things'".
What the eff, O!?
Since 2002, Thanksgiving marked the week of the most hyped episode of the year. And no doubt the loudest episode too! Audience members would scream, cry and probably suffer heart palpatations for over an hour while getting bombarded with numerous "of the moment products".
Even though last year's 'Favorite Things' was more low-key and affordable considering the economic situation, that was better than nothing! Well, maybe not for the audience because they ended up getting punked big time.
Why the change of heart Oprah? After this year you only have one more holiday season on the air. Maybe she's saving up and going all out next year???

Christian Siriano has never made demure debuts of his creations, and his gifts are no exception!
Christian is a guest on today's episode of Oprah, and together the host extraordinaire and talented designer call up Christian's old Project Runway pal, Heidi Klum via Skype.
On the big screen in Oprah's Chicago studio, Heidi opens the gift that Christian sent to welcome Heidi's newest born baby, Lou Sulola Samuel, born October 9th. Once Heidi manages to open the box, she reveals Christian's creation - a couture ruffled bib! Adorable!
That Christian - what a sweetheart!
P.S. - We kind of hate Heidi for looking so gorgeous via webcam, sans-makeup and only 20 days after giving birth. We're jealous!
