    She still looks at least 20 years older than she actually is. I was stunned to read she is younger than me! And the headline's misleading - it wasn't the sun, it was tanning booths that she overused!

    This was the one who took her toddler with her tanning, am I right? I think it's great that she stopped though, she looks a whole lot better when she isn't orange!

    ETA: Nevermind, saw the article.

    It is sad because this is an addiction. She will probably live longer now that she has stopped tanning.

    I'm not buying it. Sorry - but you just don't undergo such a big transformation in a month. She's made up and touched up!

    It doesn't matter, and I cannot believe "In Touch" was so desperate that this is a story that they felt compelled to do. Nearly every photo in any publication goes through Photoshop - that does not mean major alterations were or were not made.

    This woman obviously has a mental health issue every bit as much as any anorexic or bulimic person, or even the woman who made the news for trying to be the fattest person. She needs treatment, not the glare of media focus. I am most concerned for her young daughter, like any child, her mother's issues are going to impact her life.
