Story of mother injecting pageant daughter with Botox = hoax

http://beta.news.yahoo.com/blogs/trending-now/botox-hoax-kirsten-dunst-face-goes-viral-pop-153215460.html?nc

british tabloid gave her $$$$ to make up the story.

wow, what a waste of time all those DU threads were.

which is why you should question everything you see in the media. they've gotten rid of the fact-checkers, just like they got rid of the proofreaders.

they don't do journalism anymore.

2. Why does it seem like all these hoax stories

are always so outrageous? Do they try to make up something horrible, so that it gets more media attention?

6. That sounds more like it.

I didn't watch the video, just read the print part.

7. seems after they took the kid she changed her tune. now says kid didn't even do pageants.

i'd think the pageant part is pretty easy to verify the truth/falseness of.

Upton said she was asked �to play the role of Kerry Campbell� and was �provided with the story, instructions and a script to follow for a recorded interview,� TMZ reported. Upton reportedly also made money to appear on �Good Morning America� and �Inside Edition,� though the claim has been disputed and the amount was not clear, TMZ said.

�The truth is I have never given my daughter Botox, nor allowed her to get any type of waxing, nor is she a beauty pageant contestant,� Upton said in her declaration, according to TMZ.
