Cosmetic surgery- the silver screen story
It’s a common notion that silver screen superstars are always after cosmetic surgeries. Nose- lips-breasts- facelift, what aren’t they doing? They are constantly repairing their features and a lot of them are also ending up with botched jobs. Take Melanie Griffith, Tara Reid for example.
The person who made the concept of cosmetic surgeries legendary- Michael Jackson; yet feels like he hasn’t got enough after successive surgeries all over his body. His biographer Ian Halperin says that, the star will go under knives once again prior to his tour in London. Only God knows what the pop god wants from his looks!
This is not the case with all the stars! There are plenty of celebrities who hasn’t gone for cosmetic surgeries and don’t want to go either. Kate Winslet- the double Oscar winner actress has revealed that she’d prefer to get old as per the allowance of the nature and she never minds the wrinkles as she grows old.
Going Plastic: Do you really need it?
At 47, Kathy Griffin swears she will never go under the knife again. “I’ve been off the junk, as I call it, for five years,” she says in the September issue of Fitness (out August 14). “I’ve had face lift, eye job and all that stuff five years ago.”
But to her, it wasn’t really any help. It didn’t make her feel good or make her look any younger as she said. Like Kathy, a lot of girls think that they need to do everything in their power to look good in this male dominated world. From this very line of thinking did the era of plastic got it’s rocket boost. But truth be told, it really doesn’t make any difference. You won’t lose your job for having a few wrinkles. Neither will you get a job for your young skin. Its all about your ability to work. If you can work hard and smart, no one can stop you.
And as Kathy said with a smile, “So that’s my new thing — I like my body now. For 47, it’s pretty darn good. And I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’m never going to be Jennifer Aniston”
Celebrities: Path of Thorns?
Who can forget Rachel Green from the hit TV series FRIENDS? She’d been one of my favorite stars for, lets see now… as long as I can remember. I was so pissed at Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt that I actually stopped watching their movies. According to her publicist: The famed star Jennifer Aniston had surgery to “correct a deviated septum that was incorrectly done over 12 years ago.” She said it was not for cosmetic surgery. But I wonder… She had the same nose 10 years ago after all!
It’s not always a rosy path for the celebrities though. Take Lisa Rinna for instance. She regrets her needy-happy overdoing with plastic surgery. Lisa’s face hasn’t moved in a decade. And guess what? She says she officially went off the deep end when she got, get this, cheek injections!
Wonder who’s up for those cheeky injections now? Nicole Kidman? I hope not!
Celebrities: What’s Plastic and what’s Real?
Sure, Janet Jackson’s plastic-surgery-enhanced nose looks good — if you compare it to siblings Michael and LaToya. By most standards, though, the nose looks overdone and, well, plastic. But if Miss Jackson’s nasty nose is an example of the “bad,” to whom do we look for the “good”?
Ashlee Simpson maybe? Well, she did go for a plastic surgery recently. And according to her it wasn’t for self loathing. Going under the knife, she says, is “a personal choice. I believe if somebody chooses to do plastic surgery, it [should be] for yourself, not for anyone else.” Now that’s keeping it real. No matter what you do, you have to have confidence. That’s something no amount of surgery can cover for.
“Everybody always has an opinion,” Ashlee says. “One minute they’ll love you; one minute they’ll hate you. When you go home to sleep at night, [the important thing] is to feel good about yourself. And I do.”
