The ninth season launch of Rehab Sundays in Las Vegas took place last weekend with celebrities in attendance -- including everyone's favorite DJ, Pauly D from Jersey Shore. Or at least we're pretty sure it was Pauly D who walked the red carpet that night.

Doesn't he look sort of strange in this photo? If it weren't for his signature Bart Simpson hair, we'd hardly recognize him. Because something weird is definitely going on with his face. Is it possible that he actually resorted to having a little work done? (Say it isn't so!)

Pauly's odd, puffed up look only has a few possible explanations. Either he really overdid it on the alcohol the night before, making him extremely bloated & hungover, or he fell asleep in the tanning bed and burned the skin around his eyes and cheeks. And if neither of those things occurred, then we have to assume that he had some sort of filler injected into his face, or he treated himself to a little plastic surgery.

But why on earth would he feel the need to resort to such drastic measures? Doesn't he realize that men who get plastic surgery usually wind up looking really strange? OMG. I seriously want to give him a fist pump right in the head for not watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians before making the decision to go under the knife (if that's what he did). Hasn't he ever seen Bruce Jenner? (Scary!)

Hopefully the next time Pauly makes an appearance, he will be back to his old, puppy-dog eyed self again, proving that his beefed up appearance was the result of overindulgence of one kind or another. It would be such a shame if he truly altered his adorable face for good!

Check out this video of Pauly D taken a few weeks ago -- as you'll see, his looks don't need any help!

Do you think men tend to look worse than women do after having plastic surgery?
