Ariana Grande thanked Botox whereas accepting an award.
Was she severe or joking? Perhaps each.
Although she has hit again at body-shamers earlier than, Ariana supplied a shout-out to 2 anti-aging therapies on stage.
Nevertheless, she then went on to make clear that she is now “clean.”

The Rising Star Award goes to … Ariana Grande?
On Friday, January 3, Ariana Grande obtained the Rising Star award on the Palm Springs Worldwide Movie Awards
It was a bit odd. Ariana has been performing since she was a baby. She was a Nickelodeon star about 15 years in the past, and was on Broadway earlier than that. She has additionally been a family identify for years and years.
“I never thought at the age of 31 I would be hearing the words ‘rising star’ again,” Ariana acknowledged whereas accepting her award. “So I wanted to start by thanking my two friends: Botox and Juvederm.”
Later, Ariana took to the purple carpet, the place she spoke to Leisure Tonight — as you’ll be able to see under.
“Oh my gosh, my joke,” she mentioned excitedly, laughing as she referred to the on-stage tribute as “my bit.”
To be honest, she additionally pretended that her award weighed sufficient to overbalance her when receiving it from Jennifer Coolidge. Ariana is a particularly humorous individual, so this joke about her face suits properly together with her model.

Ariana Grande clarifies that she is ‘clean’ with regards to Botox
“I’m still clean, I’m still clean,” Ariana clarified, utilizing comedic phrasing. Clear usually refers to addictive substances corresponding to alcohol or prescription painkillers.
“But when I start going again, I’ll let you know,” she added. “I mean it. I really want to be transparent as a beauty founder, as the founder of R.E.M. Beauty.”
After plugging the identify of her magnificence model, Ariana expressed: “I think it’s important to have transparency.”
“I love it, I support it,” Ariana Grande then emphasised of issues like Botox and fillers. “But I am still four years clean.”
Beforehand, she has described herself as having gone “cold turkey” in 2018 on issues like lip filler and different injectible beauty therapies. That’s slightly past her four-year timeline.
Both approach, she’s making it clear that she helps individuals who use these therapies. It’s simply that Ariana herself not does.

Is ‘Rising Star’ actually the proper award?
Although Ariana Grande had a stellar efficiency as Glinda in Depraved (she made me sob at one level), her fame will not be new. Award presenter (and Ariana’s pal) Jennifer Coolidge remarked on simply that.
“I don’t want to argue with the Palm Springs power gays or their little 19-year-old handsome dates,” Jennifer Coolidge admitted, “but I just thought rising star? Hasn’t Ariana Grande already risen?”
She identified: “I mean, the girl’s barely 30 and it feels like she’s been famous since the Eisenhower administration.”
Each a part of that quote has been rattling round in our brains each since.
