...have a certain red X over his face. Winner? Saying it was probably a CBS-engineered red herring, I nevertheless passed it on to readers of this site last week.

If a star has a zit, scar, mole or other unsightly "blemish," the powers that be are gonna zap it; after all, computer technology can easily give a star a glowing tan and lustrous, poreless complexion.
