Lil' Kim
From Make Me Heal
In March of 2005 Lil' Kim, real name Kimberly Jones, was convicted of perjury and conspiracy in connection with a shooting incident outside a Manhattan radio station. Lil' Kim was fined $50,000 and sent to prison. The rapper was released in July of 2006, after ten months in jail. One of the few female stars in hardcore rap, Lil' Kim got her start with the help of rappers Notorious B.I.G. and Junior M.A.F.I.A. Lil' Kim then went solo in 1996 with Hard Core, which included the rap hit "No Time," a duet with Sean "Puffy" Combs, and became notorious for her sexually explicit lyrics and outfits. As an actress the rapper has appeared in the Rachael Leigh Cook film She's All That (1999) and Ben Stiller's 2001 comedy Zoolander.

The Poster Child For Plastic Surgery Addiction
Speaking of Lil’ Kim, the rapper performed “Last Night” on stage with P. Diddy and Keyshia Cole at the BET awards. Lil’ Kim has had the misfortune of becoming the poster child for plastic surgery addiction, composed of breast implants, nose job, skin whitening procedures, endoscopic brow lift (forehead lift), lip augmentation, and possible cheek implants. The media and fans alike may be too critical of her transformation, as Lil’ Kim is nothing close to true plastic surgery nightmare such as Jocelyne Wildenstein or Pete Burns. True, that the result of this cosmetic concotion is a person who does not even remotely look like their former self. True, that Lil’ Kim has lost much of her black ethnicity and looks completely overdone in a plastic kind of way. True, her mega sized breasts are far too big for her frame and her cheek implants, cute pinched nose, and lips look incredibly fake. True, her blue contact lenses make her cartoon-like. But despite all of the above true-isms, if one looked at Lil’ Kim without knowing what she looked like prior to her makeover, one could say that is cute…albeit, in a fake plasticky kind of way. This look does actually fly in some circles and is sought after. For this reason, we think that the ever-morphing Lil’ Kim probably sought this look.
But we do have one plea, stop the surgery as one more pass under the knife could turn this into a nightmare and catapult Lil’ Kim to the Wildenstein stratosphere of plastic surgery horrors.
