CF queen Kim Tae Hee sheds all her makeup and goes au natural in a series of new commercials for Olympus Korea.

Not only is she blessed with a face less than 12 cm, she is also one of the rare people on this Earth who actually have to work hard at being ugly. Look how much effort she’s putting into cringing her perfect face!

Just 10 days after its release, the commercial ranks as most popular in the electronics commercial category.  With the overwhelming positive feedback, Olympus will produce two more commercials in the same series.

Which celebrities would you like to see without their precious makeup?

Harisu gives beauty tips to Japanese woman

He-she Harisu does a good job of embracing her newly found femininity, but sometimes I wonder if she qualifies for some of her gigs. On top of being the spokes person for feminine hygiene products, Harisu is set to release a beauty book in Japan. Her book includes diet tips, dating advice and some home made recipes. I wonder if she included a chapter on how to come out of the closet.

You can check out Harisu’s new book in Japan on April 28th.

Suju’s Hee Chul bitten by the plastic bug

Super Junior’s lady Kim Hee Chul will be getting a nose job. SM Entertainment confirmed the planned plastic surgery with a pre-formulated crockpot tale of Hee Chul injuring his nose when he fell down the stairs due to blurry vision from recent lasik eye surgery.

“Blurry vision” must be an industry euphemism for “Father SM pushed me down the stairs so that I could have a legitimate reason to get unnecessary plastic surgery”. He should have just gone with the deviated septum excuse like every other celebrity.
