MANILA, Philippines (AP) - Filipino teenage singer Charice Pempengco says she prepared for her debut on the hit TV show "Glee" by getting Botox and an anti-aging procedure "to look fresh on camera."
The 18-year-old Charice, whose singing career rocketed after appearing on Ellen DeGeneres' and Oprah Winfrey's talk shows, underwent a 30-minute Thermage skin-tightening procedure and Botox to make her "naturally round face" more narrow, celebrity cosmetic surgeon Vicki Belo told ABS-CBN television.
Charice, in the same interview, said last week's face makeover was part of her big preparations for her appearance on the hit show's second season. She starts filming at the end of this month.
"All people will be anticipating how will Charice look? Is she good enough to pit against Rachel Berry? So of course there is tremendous pressure," Charice said.
In an earlier TV interview, she said she auditioned for "Glee" in mid-June in Los Angeles and was thankful to have been accepted.
"It's really a blessing," she said, adding she was "very proud to be an Asian, very proud to be Filipino."
Born Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco and raised with her brother by a single mother, she sang in local contests and appeared on TV talent shows in the Philippines and South Korea before she got a big break on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" at age 15.
She later appeared several times on the "Oprah Winfrey Show" and credits Winfrey for helping push her career.

seriously? Who is this person?Re: Botoxic Glee
An 18 yr old "sleb" who thinks she needs botox and anti aging treatment to look good on TV.
I await the surge of young people who think this may be good for them too.
Other than that, she's just a "sleb" a fuckwitted nonentity proving Warhol right.

Tell her to cut out the pork adobo and lupia!Really, somebody has to tell these ladies that Botox isn't a single time shot; you have to keep getting it regularly because the effects wear off.
Beginning at 18, to get addicted to cosmetic surgery, is way too early.

Re: Botoxic Glee
What hope does one have of achieving self-love, if one cannot even accept one's own physical appearance - especially one so lovely?
Sad, that. Our culture is warped.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Re: Botoxic Glee
What hope does the average girl have to love themselves, when they see these alleged "role models"" and "slebs" are resorting to such invasive procedures in order to conform to some undefined standards?

Not to mention their mothers, who're willing to pay for new tits for a 16-yr-old's birthday.
