EXCLUSIVE: John McCain Uses Idol Makeup Artist!


John McCain, whose ads skewer Barack Obama for his "celebrity" status, has his own close ties to show business, the new issue of Us Weekly reports exclusively.

The 72-year-old was recently made TV-ready by makeup artist Tifanie White who's worked on So You Think You Can Dance and American Idol.

McCain paid the 2002 beauty-school grad $5,583.43 for her services, according to the Federal Election Commission.

2. I wonder if she travels with him, or if that was a one-shot deal.

I'm guessing Obama and Biden don't have professional makeup people on tap. They probably just let the network tv makeup department powder them down when they go on the air.

6. Americablog shows a still from a different appearance (w/Couric)

and the makeup person appears to be the same woman.

3. was that a monthly service fee....

or the cost of a one night stand?

11. I've been wondering the same thing. For a month or two maybe since

it looks like she travels with him. Hmm... or is that just the cost of the makeup, the trowel and tools? :evilgrin:

ETA: My father's going to be 87 in December and he looks 10 times healthier (not to mention mentally sharper) then McCain so this is not meant as a slam to seniors in general.. just McCain who seems to be in denial about his own health issues and mental abilities.

7. That makes Edward's $400 haircut look like chump change

At least he looked good after plunking down a whole lot of dough.

I hate to think of what McCain looks like without a fancy makeup job.

10. When I read you defining $400 as chump change, I felt like the Jerk in that filmof the same name:

"Fifty big ones....? Gee! Fifty dollars!"

8. I suppose, considering what

she had to work with she did O.K. He looks less like the walking dead.

[Joe Chi Minh]

9. I thought he looked very pallid on CNN, and thought it was maybe some kind of

reflection from his hair! The Snowman cometh.

12. Its not working.

He looks terrible all the time.

brains...not his looks, that needs fixin....
