While nobody can say about Lil' Kim that she was ever the most stylish woman on the planet, we have to admit that she did have her charms, even if they were sometimes hidden under all those layers of make-up.

Since she got out of jail, the rapper gained a few pounds, which is a good thing, considering that most of the female stars today are constantly questioned about their weight and accused (more or less directly) of being anorexic.

But from that to becoming a feminine version of Michael Jackson lies a great distance and Lil' Kim made it in the past couple of months that she spent out of the spotlight. Over the weekend, the rapper made a surprise appearance at Reverend Sharpton's birthday party in New York City and she managed to shock the entire audience with the way she looked.

It's not that she was, for the few couple of times in her life, decently dressed (another good thing, by the way), but the thing that made people literally stare at her with their mouths open was that she also revealed a new addiction: plastic surgery.

Basically, Kim's face was so tight that she could barely move it, save for smiling, with her eyebrows almost gone and being replaced by a line drew with an eyeliner and with cheekbones so high and prominent that even Elvis Presley would have been envious.

What more could we say, as you can see it all for yourselves. As a final word, maybe she should consider before getting on that doctor's table again because plastic surgery can become addictive and there are tens of stars out there who are living proof of that.
