<p>This crazy economy is sparking some interesting news footage. While the photo above is a comedic exaggeration of a woman giving herself injections, there is a real incident that happened recently.  A woman in Dublin, California had to have corrective plastic surgery after deciding that she would try to save a few dollars by performing a procedure on her own face. The woman, let&#8217;s call her &#8220;Mary&#8221;, is 54, a mother of three, with a career in the public eye. She said that after a visit to a plastic surgeon, she decided to take matters into her own hands. Mary went online and bought a vial of liquid silicone for $10 then injected it herself into her lips and cheek four weeks ago.</p>
<p>&#8220;Insane. I can&#8217;t believe I did what I did,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I thought I was going to be happy with the results, then the next day, my face became very inflamed, very red, swollen.&#8221;</p>
<p>Click below for the horrifying results. Warning&#8230;it ain&#8217;t pretty! <a href="http://straightfromthea.com/2009/07/02/wtf-woman-attempts-plastic-surgery-on-her-own-face/#more-15576" class="more-link">(more&#8230;)</a></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Tameka Raymond should be breathing quite a bit easier these days since all of the Michael Jackson drama has taken a bit of the spotlight off of her and Usher&#8217;s pending divorce&#8230;but I&#8217;m still following when I can.  Recently, Tameka filed an answer to <a href="http://straightfromthea.com/2009/06/17/ushertameka-drama-unfolds-official-documents/" target="_blank">Usher&#8217;s divorce petition</a>. In her response, Meka claimed that she was totally caught off guard by his filing of the divorce and was under the impression that things between them was just peachy. In court documents filed Monday in Fulton County Superior Court Meka claims that she <em>&#8220;had every reason to believe her marriage was intact&#8221; </em>and that two were <em>&#8220;intimately together as husband and wife as recently as June 6.&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In Usher&#8217;s petition, he requests joint custody of the pair&#8217;s two young sons, Usher Raymond V, 1, 1/2 and Naviyd Ely Raymond, 6 months. But regardless of custody requests, word on the street is that Usher&#8217;s questioning the paternity of his youngest son and seeks answers.   <a href="http://straightfromthea.com/2009/07/02/ushmeka-divorce-update-he-says-she-says/#more-15536" class="more-link">(more&#8230;)</a></p>
