Bruce Jenner Has Another Facelift

Kim Kardashian has confirmed that her step-dad Bruce Jenner has had his second facelift. According to USmagazine.com:

"Twenty five years ago, Bruce was ill-advised by a doctor to have a partial facelift and a nose job," Kim writes. "Unfortunately, the result wasn't what Bruce had hoped for and for years since then he has been the victim of cruel taunts from the media."

"Since he's turning 60 in October, Bruce felt it was time to correct the mistakes made by the previous doctor so he went to a new doctor for a second facelift," she continues. "The results are amazing! Bruce looks better than ever and he is extremely happy with the result. Make sure you watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians next Sunday to see what Bruce went through for his new look!"

I always thought he'd had his nose whittled down too much. Hopefully the corrective work will make him look less 'operated on' and more masculine. Bruce does seem like the most sane one of the bunch in that reality show. Unfortunately, in the above picture he looks like he was just ridden hard and put away wet!

Angelique from I Love Money 2 - Go Away!

Continuing with the theme of over-the-top reality show contestants... VH1 just ended its series I Love Money 2, which has as one of its stars a French stripper named Angelique. With her idiotic statements, overinflated trout pout, and watermelon-sized breast implants, she singlehandedly sets the women's lib movement back thirty years. Hopefully Americans will never have to see her ever again!

Yes, I know this is harsh, but I'm partial to Metro Detroit's own Prancer, whom Angelique verbally assaulted on the program. Unlike Angelique, Prancer's quite down-to-earth, fun, and personable. Check out her MySpace here.

Annina from Big Brother UK

This is a photo of Annina, a participant in television program Big Brother in the UK. As you can see, her breast implants are excessively large, and her skin even looks a bit mottled in her breasts and chest. Sometimes skin that is this color can signify poor blood supply to the tissues and can increase her risk for implant and skin-related problems. My advice to her would be to downsize her breast implants, have a breast lift, and avoid smoking and tanning.

Or she could just leave well enough alone.

Carrot Top, Vegas, and Meetings

I've just returned from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery annual conference in Las Vegas. It was held at Mandalay Bay, and was chock full of the newest in the field of cosmetic plastic surgery. I'll post some of the 'hottest' and 'newest' trends in a future post.

I had the pleasure of spending some time with two plastic surgeons whom I went to residency with, Dr. Sanjiv Kayastha and Dr. Terry Higgins. Dr. Kayastha practices outside Albany, New York, and Dr. Higgins (who has been mentioned on this site once before) practices in Vegas. Both are outstanding surgeons, and if you live in their area they would definitely be the people to see!

In between attending meetings and seminars, I did spot one celebrity dining at the table next to us Monday night: Carrot Top. He was there with a couple friends and kept to himself. Wow, is he striking. That red fro combined with muscles galore makes him a sight to behold!

A Little Botox for Paula?

For all of you American Idol watchers out there, this photo of Paula Abdul from Dlisted.com does appear to show some Botox working well to prevent wrinkles between her eyebrows (the glabella). It looks like she's trying to grimace but can't. This is exactly what Botox (or Dysport) can do to prevent the "11" sign between the eyebrows.

Go Adam Lambert!

Daryl Hannah - Plastic Surgery?

MakeMeHeal.com has a post on Daryl Hannah's possible plastic surgery. She looks puffy and completely unlike herself. What a shame. Unless she used permanent fillers like Artefill (bad) or Silicone (worse), most of the changes should get better with time. I've always considered her to be very attractive, especially when she starred in one of my all-time favorite movies Roxanne.

Miss California Carrie Prejean's Breast Implants

Miss California, Carrie Prejean, supposedly had her breast implants paid for by the Miss California USA pagaent. This is according to Shanna Moakler, co-executive director of Miss California USA.

In an interview with "Access Hollywood," Billy Bush asked Moakler, "Did you guys pay for it?"
"Yes," Moakler responded. "We did."
"It was something that we all spoke about together," Moakler said referring to herself, Prejean and Keith Lewis, Moakler's co-executive director. "It was an option and she wanted it. And we supported that decision."

Moakler, a former Miss USA herself, defended the organization's decision to pay for the implants, telling "Access" that it's a common practice in beauty competitions.
"Breast implants in pageants is not a rarity. It's definitely not taboo. It's very common. Breast implants today among young women today is very common. I don't personally have them, but you know — they are," she said.

The above photo appears to show a pair of breast implants which create a round look in someone with little breast tissue to cover them. They are very tasteful in size, though.
