Ariana Grande thanked Botox while accepting the award.
Was she serious or joking? Maybe both.
Although Ariana has fired back at body shamers before, Ariana advocated for two anti-aging treatments on stage.
However, she then clarified that she is now “clean.”
Rising Star award goes to Ariana Grande?
On Friday, January 3, Ariana Grande received the Rising Star award at the Palm Springs International Film Awards
It was a little strange. Ariana has been acting since childhood. She was a Nickelodeon star about 15 years ago and was on Broadway before that. She has also been a household name for years.
“I never thought I’d hear the words ‘rising star’ again at age 31,” Ariana admitted while accepting her award. “So I wanted to start by thanking two of my friends: Botox and Juvéderm.”
Later, Ariana took to the red carpet, where she spoke entertainment tonight – As you can see below.
“Oh my God, my joke,” she said excitedly, laughing as she called the onstage tribute “my part.”
To be fair, she also pretended that she was so overweight she was overweight while receiving an award from Jennifer Coolidge. Ariana is a very funny person, so this joke about her face fits her brand perfectly.
Ariana Grande clarifies she’s ‘clean’ when it comes to Botox
“I’m still clean, I’m still clean,” Ariana clarified using humorous phrases. Clean usually refers to abstinence from addictive substances such as alcohol or prescription painkillers.
“But I will let you know when I start going again,” she added. “Really. I really want to be transparent as a beauty founder, as the founder of REM Beauty.
After adding the name of her beauty brand, Ariana said: “I think it’s important to have transparency.”
“I love it, I support it,” Ariana Grande then gushed about things like botox and fillers. “But I’ve still been spotless for four years.”
Previously, she described herself as going “cold turkey” in 2018 due to lip fillers and other injectable cosmetic treatments. This is slightly ahead of its four-year deadline.
Either way, she’s making it clear that she supports people who use these treatments. It’s just that Ariana herself doesn’t do it anymore.
Is ‘Rising Star’ really the right award?
Although Ariana Grande gave a great performance as Glinda Wicked (that makes me SOB To a point), his fame is not new. Awards presenter (and Ariana’s friend) Jennifer Coolidge commented on just that.
“I don’t want to argue with the power gay guys of Palm Springs or their cute little 19-year-old dates,” Jennifer Coolidge admitted, “but I just thought about the rising star? “Has Ariana Grande not risen?”
He explained: “I mean, the girl is barely 30 years old and it looks like she’s been famous since the Eisenhower administration.”
Every part of that quote has been playing in our minds ever since.
