I guess it's never too early to get injected!

18-year-old singing phenom Charice Pempengco, who appeared on Oprah and Ellen has sung with Celine Dion, admitted that she was undergoing Botox and an anti-aging procedure to "look fresh on camera."

The Filipino star told ABS-CBN television that she wanted everyone to be talking about her upcoming role as a foreign exchange student who challenges Rachel (Lea Michelle.)

"All people will be anticipating how will Charice look? Is she good enough to pit against Rachel Berry? So of course there is tremendous pressure," Charice said in the interview.

Her rep, however, is denying that the Botox was for cosmetic reasons. Apparently the point of the procedure "was to relieve a problem similar to TMJ," the rep told Us, not to make her "naturally round face more narrow" as celebrity plastic surgeon Vicki Belo previously stated.

Hmmm, Botox for TMJ? That's a new one!
