Too Much Plastic Surgery Makes Them Look Like Aliens

(News Today) - Thirty years ago they were the heartthrobs of French television with their own prime time series on science fiction. Now Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff look more like one of the alien life forms they used to report on.

The twin brothers have had so much plastic surgery they are barely recogniseable, proving that many male celebrities are also becoming obsessed with using cosmetic procedures to look good.

Posing for pictures as the 150th anniversary party for luxury jeweller Chopard, the pair - now aged 60 - looked stranger than ever. They are both understood to have a number of chin and cheek implants, as well as botox and fillers.

Their stretched faces echo the look of socialite Jocelyn Wildenstein, dubbed the 'bride of Wildenstein'. The 63-year-old has earned the nickname her obsessive approach to surgery which has left her with incredibly strange features.

The ex-wife of late billionaire Alec Wildenstein has undergone at least seven face lifts and drastic eye reconstruction surgery and received collagen injections to her lips, cheeks and chin. During her marriage to Alec, the socialite began to fear her husband was losing interest in her and, inspired by his love for cats, began altering her face to make her appear more feline.

The Bogdanoff brothers were hugely popular on French television during the 1980s. Their boyish good looks helped them secure a number of series on science and science fiction including the hugely popular Temps X.

But in the 1990s they had their first round of plastic surgery. They were later embroiled in controversy over problems with work they published in physics journals, which were criticised by the scientific community.

On Tuesday night the pair spent the night partying at Chopard's 150th private party alongside stars such as Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova, Marion Cotillard, Kate Beckinsale and Myleene Klass.

Sir Phillip Green was also among guests at the event, during which Lionel Richie performed a special set. The big name stars enjoyed Richie's show from a exclusive balcony overlooking the stage at the trendy VIP Rooms on the famous Croisette.

Richie appeared on stage just after midnight to cheers from the crowd - made up of industry leaders from film, fashion and business.

Introduced by Miss Klass as a 'hero', the veteran singer belted out many of his solo classics as well anthems by The Commadores such as Easy Like Sunday Morning, Dancing on the Ceiling, and Hello.

The 60-year-old star, who has sold more than 100 million records worldwide across a career spanning four decades, was in high spirits as he entertained the upmarket crowd.

He shouted out to the audience: 'This is going to be so good. Everyone knows the lyrics. I want you all to sing along. I love it when everyone is out of control.'

Miss Campbell could be seen dancing on the balcony with her Russian oligarch boyfriend Vladimir Doronin. The supermodel will celebrate her 40th birthday with a party in Cannes later this week. The couple danced next to Sir Phillip who was accompanied by his 19-year-old daughter Chloe and her friends.

Socialite Paris Hilton was also at the party - arriving halfway through Richie's set with an entourage of six. Her arch rival Lindsay Lohan arrived just a few minutes earlier but it is understood the pair - who have been at loggerheads for the past five years - stayed at opposite sides of the venue.
