Vanessa Williams And Kathie Lee On Botox: Our Foreheads Thank You (VIDEO)

Vanessa Williams stopped by the fourth hour of Today in advance of Sunday night's Emmys, where the "Ugly Betty" actress is up for her third nomination in a row.

After talking about her four kids, her anger at Kanye West's "completely unacceptable" VMA behavior and her joy at "Ugly Betty" filming being moved from Los Angeles to New York, Williams talked about her Dress for Success charity work and partnership with Allergen, makers of Botox. Williams is a spokeswoman and vocal advocate of the product.

Apparently so is Kathie Lee, who trilled, "We love you Allergen! We love you with all of our foreheads!"

Whatever you think about Botox as a concept, the name of the company that makes it should at least be spelled right in the article! It's Allergan, not "allergen", like the things that make you sneeze! DOESN'T ANYONE CHECK THIS STUFF BEFORE IT GOES LIVE?

[Imzadi]

Vapid and unwatchable.

[Amerigucci]

Expressions on our faces, all through our bodies, are for more than communicating emotions to others. They are stress relievers.

Botox, a poison, paralyzes our body's ability to shrug off stress and release tension. Where botox is being injected in the forehead is exactly where acupuncturists and Chinese doctors say are the muscles that control the health of organs in our body, such as the liver.

People who use botox are risking their health and are guinea pigs for pharmaceutical firms like Allergens. When they need liver transplants, will their insurance companies be there? Who will pay for them?

Acetylsalicylic acid is a poison! It's also aspirin.
Botox is a poison that also happens to bring relief to the paralyzing (pun intended) effects of migraines.

[LosAngelista]

It stands to reason that the facial muscles repeatedly paralyzed by Botox will eventually atrophy and waste away, resulting in that ancient, hollowed out look ahead of schedule, which is the last thing you want if you're trying to look younger. Instead, try building up your facial muscles with exercise. Once you learn the technique, it's risk, cost and pain free!

I bet Frank loves Cialis!

Talk about a soft sell.... see how everything on TV is about sales.

That poor Hoda ...she couldn't get a word in edge wise.

Plus fact is Taylor Swift is 19, not 17.

Facts don't matter in news shows.

The ultimate beauty is within.

[maryrothchild]

( In a good way no one cares of course, she's our "Pocohontas" cartoon Disney voice in our lives.)

[maryrothchild]

Let's listen to why Venessa can say anything and no one cares...

I know she's glad for that move to be closer to her children. Her 3 oldest kids live in NY while she lived in CA all those years with her youngest daughter. As a mother I can't even imagine that set up, job or no job. She is a beautiful woman who seems to have a beautiful spirit so I'm sure she tried real hard to keep her family together some kind of way.

[Rictracee]

Vanessa Williams is extremly beautiful and talented.. I LOVE HER

[bzb]

Agreed.

[FeralFemale]

Vanessa Williams is so beautiful and so talented.

Who cares about the botox. My sister is a HUGE fan. While I don't approve, women are so pressured to be ageless, who can blame them?

Go 'Nessa! You rock! (and I LOVE your Ugly Betty work!)

[FeralFemale]

Edited to add: My sister is a huge fan of Botox. I don't know if she is a huge fan of Nessa.

[Agentlady007]

We all loved he until she got weak. Exposed herself. The biggest no no of all.

[Agentlady007]

* I meant --her.

[Agentlady007]

The French don't care.

[Agentlady007]

She does sing a song like an Angel.

[Terry6202]

Vanessa Williams is a national treasure - unbelievably beautiful, talented, smart and an adult. She is a big supporter of Dress for Success, which helped me get a job as a single mom with no money. Dress for Success helps poor women by giving them interview outfits and once a job is landed, work outfits, from head to toe with donated outfits. It is a fantastic organization which also has support services for women, and I applaud Vanessa for her support.

[maryrothchild]

She pretended to be an adult and the minute things got tough she gave the excuse she was into sexuality. Miss Mewrica's are supposed to be prudes, and she failed.

[omobob]

Anyone who injects poison to deaden nerves certainly is making poor health choices for the sake of vanity. These two are vapid ladies giving bad advice.

[Agentlady007]

No one is going to take you seriously until you speak to them face to face.

[Ellyllon]

She has bangs - does she REALLY need botox?

[FeralFemale]

I was thinking the same thing!

[Agentlady007]

Donald Trumo needs a new hair cut, do you think people with money to afford this cosmetic care about change?

[PuzzledinPeoria]

Hey, Kiefer Sutherland should get a treatment. Then he wouldn't get a headache when he head-butts people.

[maryrothchild]

Yes, and the family of the Manson clang should also use Botox, in cast those scars haven't healed yet.

[maryrothchild]

Well, I miss Kathy Lee on the Regis show. I stopped watching when they recast with "Kelly".
Frankly after seeing Vanessa in the Cinderella story, I never did like her. She was too mean, and no one is that good of an actress.

[seachild]

ha...funny

[skybar]

All these "View"-styled shows really irritate me. It's just inane chatter.

[maryrothchild]

I know what you mean. Reminds me of the 'Miss America' pageants when the boring hosts ask the contestants the questions. They all say 'Yes', or 'yeah', at the end of what they say. Makes them sound like they are re-affirming what they said because they aren't really sure themselves if it makes sense -or if they or anyone really understood what they just said.... or why for that matter.

[napasonoma]

I'm guessing your are a former contestant. You certainly have the "credentials"

[LindaInAus]

saying 'yeah' or 'yes' at the end of what they say?

I've never heard anybody do that.

What the hell are you talking about?
I've never heard that.
