Charice (18) gets botox in preparation for Glee debut
Quote:
Filipino singing sensation Charice Pempengco has had cosmetic treatment ready for her debut in the second series of the hit TV show 'Glee'.
The 18-year-old said she wanted to 'look fresh on camera' for her first appearance as a guest star on the musical comedy.
The 30-minute procedure was intended to make her 'naturally round face' more narrow, celebrity cosmetic surgeon Dr Vicki Belo said.
Charice, in the same interview with ABS-CBN television, said last week's face makeover was part of her big preparations 'to look fresh on camera' for 'Glee'.
She said: 'All people will be anticipating how will Charice look? Is she good enough to pit against [Glee character] Rachel Berry? So of course there is tremendous pressure.'
Rachel Berry is played by actress Lea Michele, who at age 23 is five years older than Charice.
Charice, who shot to fame after appearing on Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres's U.S. talk shows last year, will start filming next month.
