Perfectly cute girl gets plastic surgery to look like Jessica Alba to win back boyfriend

I'm not copying and pasting the whole article here because it's better to see the pictures of her.

I posted this under Relationships rather than Beauty or world news because I think the ultimate worst part of this is what people will do to please an unworthy lover.

Me too. The dumbest being letting him use my credit card. I'll be paying that off for the next five years. She'll be dealing with this FOR LIFE!

^been there. Got the T-shirt... literally... twice. Neither one fits right. First for a band one guy liked, second for another guy's Video Game for Charity. I now wear those when jogging and no other time. I'm my own woman, dammit!

I don't ever recall I ever changing who I was just to appeal to a guy--probably because I had very few boyfriends in my life; I could count them on half a hand.

^^ Nothing wrong with being choosy.

This is awful -- she's beautiful! But that's beside the point. I agree with what's already been said here. The situation is sad and infuriating. And besides, if he doesn't like her the way she is, there'll never be a way to please him. She might as well find the one who likes her. He doesn't; he sure as hell doesn't love her.

It makes me so sad. She's such a cutie, and no doubt has a good heart. I want to hug her -- and bring her stateside, where she might have more options anyway (basing that on the last sentence or 2 of the article).

i cant believe her friends suggested it, but if she wants to do it then ok..... However i think she needs to wait to get over the breakup first

That poor girl has more issues than I care to list at this moment. Someone needs to teach her the value of self worth.

You'd think by now there'd be a slew of gents knocking at her door.

Last time I happened to see Jessica, which was rather recently, she was a burnette not a blonde. Her ex must have been infatuated with the "blonde Jessica".

Thing is, what if after going through the "Alba make over" and she were to get him back, a different celeb captures his eye's fancy?

Ya ya...good point!

And in an interview I read with Alba (yes I was bored in the house on Monday), she said she doesn't mind the cellulite and other body changes that resulted from her giving birth to her daughter -- but would those little details send the Alba-phile's world crashing down, I wonder? Just a little morbid curiosity.

And good point, Cyn, about the guy maybe getting finicky and wanting some other celeb later on. That guy just sounds like a waste.

Ya know, I never thought Jesica Alba's face was all that good looking. Her face is to pouty and child-like. But that's just my opinion.

And she hasn't been in a good movie since...like....EVER!

^me too!


There's just something so vulnerable in her eyes. She's vulnerable and the doctors are preying on her for publicity and her friends and lover who should be the ones saying "whoa, this is a dumb idea" are the ones cheering it on!

Well, thanks, guys, for counseling me through several breakups without ever suggesting that a new nose would fix all my problems!

That's so sad! She was a lovely girl before, in fact much lovelier than afterwards. To thine one self be true seems to spring to mind

This is quite sad. The girl was so adorable beforehand. And I agree that the place that's performing the surgery is just preying on her to showcase their skills. What this girl really needs is a confidence boost!

I have to wonder what her ex-boyfriend thinks of all this. I'm willing to guess that he didn't think his comments and suggestions to her would make her go that far.

I've been on the other side of that fence before. In the last relationship I was in, I was always telling my girlfriend how it would be cute if she cut her hair short and dyed it black. The thing is, I didn't realize that I was doing something wrong, and that my comments were essentially me asking her to change herself, until it was too late. What may be a harmless side comment for you, may be a harsh critique to them. I know better now, but sometimes people don't see the full extent to which their words effect people. Especially if the people in question don't speak up.

This is so sad, but it's amazing what people with low self-esteem will do and changing their looks is just a small part of it.

I feel for her because I seriously doubt the boy is going to stay with her no matter what she does.
