Teri Hatcher prove that she’s a natural beauty

Look, no Botox. Teri Hatcher is “Desperate” to prove that she’s a natural beauty!

The Desperate Housewives star, 45, wants you to know she’s done with Botox — by posting photos of herself frowning like Justin Bieber in the middle of Tween Stampede to prove that her face can still move.


On Wednesday, he 45-year-old took to her Facebook page to dispel rumors she’s part of the frozen face club – uploading snaps of herself fresh from the shower in unflattering close-up to get her point across.

“Did I every toy with fillers or Botox over the years? yes. Tell me does this look Botoxed to you? Yes I am alone in my bathroom naked in a towel on behalf of women everywhere trying to make a point. Women YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL,” Teri wrote.

“Thought about all those damn critics of my face,” the small screen stunner scribbled alongside the photos. “Love it or hate it, my face that is, no surgery, no implants, no matter what ‘they’ say. Decided I’d shoot myself to reveal some truths about ‘beauty’ and hope it makes you all easier on yourself.”

Teri credits good lighting for her glamorous TV image, and credits fellow fortysomething Julia Roberts with being a great role model for older women. Julia reportedly to have her veins and wrinkles nipped and tucked for her latest starring role in the comedy-drama Eat Pray Love.

“Proud of Julia for being a real woman on a real journey,” Teri added.

UFC 117 PLAY-BY-PLAY:

Junior Dos Santos vs. Roy Nelson

Round 1 - The winner gets a title shot. If this fight gets out of round one I'll be VERY surprised. Can Roy continue his KO rise up the UFC ranks or will he try to take Junior down? Will Junior KO "Big Country"? The introduce Roy as a "kung fu" fighter. A little known fact about Roy is that he is trained in the Shaolin "Iron Shirt" technique. True, and probably one reason for the belly. Roy swings first, lands a left jab. Dos Santos misses with an uppercut. Big right hand by Nelson, he then clinches, pushes Junior against the fence.

Nice right and left from Junior. This was one of the craziest fights I've ever seen. Roy Nelson deserves SO MUCH RESPECT. Now, I'm not kidding about the Iron Shirt from Roy. I would love to talk to him about it because it's the only explanation I know of how someone could withstand those shots. Anyway... 10-9 for Junior... but Cain or Brock will kill him I think.

Russ Grimm's Speech At The Pro Football Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony

Russ Grimm's speech was short and direct, befitting Grimm's blue-collar style as a player and coach. He thanked his family, his hometown, his teams and his fans. But there were two especially great moments in Grimm's speech that are worth noting.

First, Grimm began his football career as a linebacker and was adamantly opposed to moving to the line; as Grimm recalled saying, "I'll never play with my hand on the ground." Fortunately, Grimm received some sage advice from offensive line coach Joe Moore: "There's no greater feeling than moving a man from Point A to Point B, against his will."
