Girls in the Beauty Department

And the Latest Celebrity We Don't Even Recognize Is...

This is quite the week for triple-take celebrity beauty transformations. First we had the whole Renee Zellweger situation, and now along comes another familiar face looking rather not familiar at all. Can you even guess who this is? That would be notorious reality-TV mom Kate Gosselin, whose latest TLC spin-off is Kate Plus 8. Photographed at her weekend yard sale without the big lashes, smoky eyes, and glossy lips, she looks much younger—not to mention like a whole other person than the one we're used to seeing in tabloids and on TV. Plus, let's face it: Even though Kate's been wearing her hair long and straight for a while now, we still all picture her with the infamous "Kate Gosselin haircut"; it's painfully burned into our memories, never to be erased. So our brains automatically don't compute "Kate Gosselin" when we see her with this long, flatironed hair. How many of you recognized Kate Gosselin in this latest photo of her? What do you think of her very different look here?
