Here’s one for the Blogtown Crime Cracker Club! Obviously everyone who has been watching the new season of Arrested Development has noticed something… ummm… different(?) about Lindsay’s (Portia de Rossi) face.
CLUE ONE: Before and After Pics!
BUT CLUE TWO: This!
According to E! Online. “She’s absolutely not had plastic surgery,” a source tells the site. “Her character is clearly wearing a wig, which ended up altering her entire look.”
AND CLUE THREE: This!
TV Guide Magazine: There has been a lot of speculation over whether Portia de Rossi changed her looks, is that why there are more playful digs at Lindsay’s appearance?
Creator Mitch Hurwitz: I’ve read a couple things that people thought she looked different. It’s been 10 years since the pilot, and I think she’s a vegan now and that really changes your whole body type. But it was absolutely not meant to be a joke at Portia’s expense. It was at Lindsay’s expense. She doesn’t look different to me.
DO YOU SMELL PHONEY BALONEY? Or is this a deep Arrested Development gag that’s fucking with our minds?

That’s a coincidence, Steve…all of your interns have been mentioning that you seem to have had your balls lifted recently.
Uh, what about the fact that Michael Cera turned into a Phineas and Ferb cartoon??!!
@ Todd
They would know! They’re the ones doing the “lifting.”
I for one find it very hard to believe that an aging Hollywood actor who hasn’t worked much lately would get plastic surgery. That’s just a crazy conspiracy theory!
Looks like we have an early nomination for “My Least Favorite Piece of Misogyny This Week.” I don’t see anyone commenting on Michael Cera’s mustache, which was clearly surgically implanted onto his upper lip?
Hey Folks! Here’s a fun little experiment for people over 30:
1. Find a photograph of yourself from ten years ago.
2. Take a comparably lit and composed photo of yourself today.
3. Compare the two photographs.
4. COCKTAILS!
My boyfriend and I honestly thought that that was somebody else playing Portia de Rossi playing Lindsay Bluth. (And they were doing a bang up job with the voice.) No fucking way did that happen naturally. And it’s a shame, she was so hot with her natural face!
This is a despicable article by The Mercury.
She started the show with an awful wig, and it has been 7 years since the show went on hiatus.
Grow up already.
Michael Cera looks like Mr. Burns.
Of course I noticed Portia’s different look, as well as Michael Cera’s. But did anyone else notice that Jeffrey Tambor has NOT AGED ONE DAY? NOT ONE SINGLE CORNBALLING DAY.
With the recent Michael Douglas news, I think we need to look closer at Ellen’s vagina.
How does a different wig make your face look like it’s being lifted and melted at the same time?
Nose Job
In the scenes where she has short hair she looks the same. Luceille 2 on the other hand looks even younger
who cares?
