There's something about Michelle (Rodriguez)

Idly paging through the magazines at the checkout counter the other day I happened on a picture of actress Michelle Rodriguez.

That's not Michelle Rodriguez, was my first thought when I looked again at the photo.

But then I saw that she used to be Michelle Rodriguez.

No, that's not quite it.

The Michelle Rodriguez I remember from "Girlfight" and "Blue Crush" is in there, all right, underneath the visage that now presents itself.

But with her nifty plastic surgery she's left behind what made her "Michelle Rodriguez," just as Mary–Louise Parker did when she went under the knife in search of a more conventional beauty.

The pictures above are the new Michelle and the two below

are the original.

I guess you can take the fighter out of a girl's looks but I wonder how much of it can ever really be eliminated.
