Last weekend, Heidi Montag walked her first red carpet post-surgery. While her face looked puffy, swollen and a little gross, I didn’t really notice any huge difference in her body, other than she seemed to have more of an hourglass figure than she used to. I barely even looked at her dress other than to notice that it looked like yet another budget strapless in a long line of budget strapless dresses all of those reality “stars” seem to wear. Well, apparently, Heidi designed that crap herself, and she has big plans to create a clothing line based on her new plastic figure:

Continuing her aesthetic overhaul, Heidi Montag, who famously underwent ten plastic surgery procedures in one day to become what she calls “the new me,” has also tapped into her inner-fashion designer.

The reality star packed four dresses of her own creation for her trip to Las Vegas last weekend, where she co-hosted Pure nightclub’s Valentine’s Day bash with husband Spencer Pratt. On the red carpet, the 23 year-old opted for a body-hugging, fuchsia dress.

“Pink is a color full of love and it’s so vibrant and beautiful–and it was, of course, very festive,” she tells PEOPLE. “It was exactly what I wanted to wear for my new body. I’ve never felt sexier or more confident in my life. It was revealing but still kept something to the imagination. It hugged all my curves perfectly.”

As for where she finds inspiration, Montag says, “Most of my inspiration comes from old movies and I have tons of books on old Hollywood. I just love the magnificence of that time–the sequins, the sexiness. I want to capture the true luster of Hollywood in all my designs.”

Montag also professes her admiration for designers like Coco Chanel (“so classic and timeless”) and Dolce & Gabbana (“They have such a sexy shape and have women looking their best in every silhouette,” she says).

Expect more Montag-made clothing to surface: “This is just the beginning. I’d really love to eventually wear mostly my only designs. And I really would love to do a low end line [for my] fans and it can be really accessible and then a one of a kind couture line to really showcase my creativity.”

But just around the corner? “Look out for my bikini line this summer!”

Chanel? BotoxFace, please. Karl Lagerfeld will be putting everything about Heidi onto his list of hate in no time. Now, I’ve long maintained that I think plastic surgery is someone’s personal choice, and that it’s none of business, and that what upsets me is when someone won’t admit that they got work done. So, in Heidi’s case, we have her admissions as to how much work she got done, so whatever. It’s her choice, even though I have a suspicion that the girl isn’t right in the head, and it’s none of my business. But really, who is going to buy Heidi Montag-designed clothes, designed with her “eye” and with her plastic figure in mind? Seriously? There are only so many budget outfits you can sell to Pamela Anderson. She’s broke, you know.

Regarding the minor controversy a few days ago where Lisa “Insane Lips and T-ts” Rinna disrespected Heidi’s work and Heidi’s People Magazine cover (Rinna said: “I will tell you I had to take that cover off the magazine before it came in the house. We have two girls. I don’t think it is something you want to bring in the house and say, ‘Oh, look.’”), Rinna is now appropriately backtracking on her eye-rolling hypocrisy. She tweeted: “I apologize to Miss Montag if my words were taken and used against her in the press. I did not slam her or her surgeries for the record.” Um… whatever.

Call me crazy, but I don’t hate Lisa Rinna. Sure, I find her annoying, and yes, her face is like the textbook example of horrible, gross, laughable plastic surgery. But whenever I’ve seen her interviewed, I kind of get a kick out of her personality. She’s spunky and funny, and she’s smart enough to have figured out a way to still have some semblence of relevance after decades languishing on the C-list of Hollywood. However, I’m revising my opinion of Lisa. This little piece in Page Six (that lead me to the Fancast interview, below) had me rolling my eyes so hard, they almost fell out. It seems Lisa was very disturbed by Heidi Montag’s “Addicted to Plastic Surgery” People Magazine cover, and thinks that Heidi’s work will send a damaging signal to young girls. Oh really?

No stranger to doctor-aided physical enhancements, Lisa Rinna says she was disturbed by ‘The Hills‘ star Heidi Montag’s recent drastic cosmetic makeover, captured on the cover of the January issue of People magazine.

“I will tell you I had to take that cover off the magazine before it came in the house,” Rinna told Fancast at Friday’s anniversary party for her store Belle Gray, in Sherman Oaks, Calif. “We have two girls. I don’t think it is something you want to bring in the house and say, ‘Oh, look.’”

‘Dancing with the Stars‘ alum Rinna, who has talked publicly of her own plastic surgery including Juvederm, Botox, lip-plumping, and breast implants, says she is sensitive to her daughters’ body-image issues.

“I take a lot of the covers off of magazines if they are not appropriate,” Rinna says.

“Obviously, we are raising two young girls. Anything that has to do with weight issues, I think you just have to be really careful.”

She adds, “I mean, you know – to each his own, is all I will say.”

Rinna was joined by husband Harry Hamlin at Friday’s party, as the two shot scenes for their upcoming TV Land reality show ‘Harry Loves Lisa,’ premiering in October.

Hamlin, who was People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive in 1987 during his ‘L.A. Law‘ heyday, says he thinks the choice to make Montag’s plastic surgery a public issue of discussion is questionable.

“Who? The blonde girl? I saw she was on the cover of some magazine,” Hamlin said Friday in mock surprise about Montag, who said that she had 10 cosmetic procedures in one day last November. “Well, you know, that magazine has changed so much. I was actually on the cover a few times. In those days, they had stories about people who hadn’t had their faces cut open. They had stories about things that were really going on. I don’t know. I mean, plastic surgery?”

[From Fancast]

“I mean, plastic surgery?” Yes, Harry. PLASTIC SURGERY. Like your wife has all the time. To the point where her face looks like a very shiny, brown, frozen nut. That plastic surgery. I mean, sure, I think Heidi Montag’s plastic face (below) is a damaging image to throw out there, especially for young girls. But what bothers me more, the plastic face or the hypocrisy? Gah!

It’s totally rude to make fun of Heidi Montag, right? Because she’s sort-of mentally ill? And yet… it just seems so natural to make fun of her. So maybe I’ll forget about her possible mental illness for a second and just note that it looks like her old face is growing back (much like Ashlee Simpson’s). These are photos of Heidi and Spencer doing a big red carpet “reveal” for her new face and body. Sure, her body looks different, but her face… the plastic surgery seems to have “settled” and she went through all of that just to look like a more frozen version of her old self. Oh, but Heidi told People Magazine that her new favorite part of herself was her “chin”. Spencer’s favorite part? Hint: not her vagina.

Heidi Montag will be getting more plastic surgery – just not anytime soon.

“Eventually”, she says, “for maintenance.”

The MTV star, who has been a lightning rod since undergoing 10 procedures in one day, is thrilled with her new look, saying Saturday that it was “the best decision I’ve ever made.”

“My favorite part, I think one of them is my chin. I think that’s what I was so excited about,” Montag, 23, said at a party Saturday at Las Vegas’s Pure Nightclub. “And I love my boobs but I still want to improve. … I didn’t get them as big as I originally wanted.”

As for her husband Spencer Pratt, 26, his favorite part of his wife wasn’t touched by surgeons – it’s her hair. “It keeps growing so beautifully and naturally,” he says.

[From People]

Chuckle. Heidi’s straw-blonde hair is the most natural part on her? That sounds about right. Now, please, please don’t think me cruel… but doesn’t it just seem like there is some cosmic justice in this world that Heidi looks pretty much the same (if not worse)? And you know what’s coming next, don’t you? Spencer is going to leave her. Mark my words.

In an absolutely shocking development (rolling eyes), Heidi Montag is likely in negotiations with Playboy for yet another pictorial. Heidi posed last year, but that time it was with her old boobs – and apparently, she didn‘t even show much in that pictorial. Now she might want to show off her DDD-cup breast implants, and Playboy may be offering as much as $500,000 for the “pleasure”. Reasons why it could happen? Heidi “could use the money.” Ya think?

Heidi Montag didn’t bare much in her 2009 Playboy pictorial, but now that she’s undergone 10 plastic surgery procedures in just one day, she’s planning to show off almost all of her new self.

According to insiders, the reality star has been offered $500,000 to debut her brand-new DDD boobs in a photo shoot.

“Heidi loves her new body, but she’s especially happy about her breast implants,” her friend explains. “She could use the money, and she’s finally ready to pose topless, so she is negotiating with the magazine.”

[From In Touch Weekly]

I think it’s kind of gross to get Heidi to pose nude again. I mean, what’s the point? Just to see her massive bozongas that aren’t even real? And she just seems so… unbalanced right now. The whole thing feels disgusting. And I’m not even one of those people whose like “Oh, a girl must have issues if she’s posing nude.” Some girls just do it because they like their bodies and they’re exhibitionists or whatever. But in this one particular case, it just seems like Playboy is perpetuating Heidi’s mental illness.

Heidi Montag is still trying to get attention from all of that plastic surgery she got several weeks ago. Even though she claims she doesn’t regret it, and that she wants even more done to her already jacked face and body, Heidi now tells People Magazine that she’s “very fragile” and that she’s “not in a great place right now.” Ya think? Apparently, though, Heidi’s not “fragile” because of all the crap she’s had done to her body and face, she’s “fragile” because she “confronted” her mom and her mom looked at her like a “circus freak”. So Heidi has spent the last few weeks struggling to get by with weekly massages and therapy. Oh, brother.

It’s been 11 weeks since her life-changing plastic surgery, but Heidi Montag is still very much healing.

“I’m very fragile,” she tells PEOPLE. “I’m not in a great place right now.”

The long road to recovery hasn’t been an easy one but Montag, 23, with weekly massages, exercise and therapy, has been working hard at the process. Still, setbacks like a stressful trip back home to Crested Butte, Colo., to confront her mom, have pushed back her healing some.

“I was hysterical the whole time,” she says of the trip. “It was so hurtful. My body really set back from recovering from all the crying, stress and that traumatic experience.”

Says Montag: “My insides were just throbbing and pounding but I know it’s part of what I had to go through.”

Despite the pain, Montag is very sure of one thing: there are no regrets. “I’m thrilled,” she says. “I’m the happiest I’ve ever been in my life.”

[From People]

Sigh… I just don’t get it. I never have. Heidi is a circus freak, and her mom isn’t the only one who looks at her like that. I don’t understand how we’re now supposed to have sympathy for Heidi because she got a million elective procedures and she’s struggling because of it? And do you think she’s really “the happiest” she’s ever been? I don’t.

Heidi Montag has patched everything up with her mother, who was said to have been “horrified and having a total breakdown” after learning that her 23 year-old daughter had a whopping 10 plastic surgery procedures at once. Now Heidi’s mom will have a cat-like face to match her daughters, as Heidi promised her mom the gift of plastic surgery during their reunion – which was all filmed for Heidi’s “reality” show, “The Hills.”

Heidi scored a spot on Nightline with her story a full two weeks after she graced the cover of People Magazine. It must takes Nightline a while to set up their segments, because they featured interview footage that was aired on Good Morning America last week. It’s clear Heidi is getting some media mileage out of her new plastic look:

Heidi Montag’s mom, Darlene Egelhoff, not only was supportive of her daughter’s plastic surgery transformation but will be undergoing her own as a Mother’s Day gift, Heidi told ‘Nightline’ Tuesday night.

Last week People reported that Darlene was “horrified” and “having a total breakdown” over Heidi’s ten surgeries. Not so, Heidi tells ‘Nightline.’

“She says, ‘Whatever makes you happy,’” Heidi said. “And ‘Great,’ and, ‘I could definitely see your boobs looking incredible bigger,’ and you know, my mom’s very … supportive about whatever makes you happy in life.”

Heidi’s surgeon refuses to do any more procedures on her, but the reality star is hoping she can convince him to work on her mom.

“Actually, she was excited for me and she’s asking me … for her surgery next,” said Heidi. “So for Mother’s Day, I have to ask Dr. Frank Ryan if he’ll do the mommy makeover.”

[From The Huffington Post]

I’m thinking all the drama with Heidi’s mom was manufactured to squeeze out some more air time for Heidi, and it worked. The story about how Heidi’s mom was “horrified” at her daughter’s new face was the most viewed story on People Magazine’s website for a few days last week. As I’ve said before, I have nothing against plastic surgery if it’s done right and sparingly, although sadly it also attracts young people like Heidi who try and use it as a cure-all for their insecurities. She’ll be stuck with that older fake-looking face for the rest of her life and all the publicity surely didn’t help her album sales. Pretty soon she’ll be dissatisfied with her current results and asking for changes. If her current plastic surgeon won’t do it, she’ll find someone who will.

Heidi Montag sort-of shocked people when she emerged after a whole couple of months with a brand new face and giant painful-looking boobs. She told People Magazine that she was “obsessed” and “addicted” to plastic surgery, a claim she later denied as she went on multiple celebrity shows to premiere her new generic face and promote her album that flopped fantastically.

Heidi’s doctor appeared with her on Good Morning America to defend his decision to perform 10 operations on the 23 year-old “singer” at once. He said that the risks were minimal because Heidi was so young and healthy. Then Heidi told Access Hollywood that she almost died during the recovery period when her breathing slowed dramatically. Her doctor countered that if Heidi had serious complications, it “didn’t happen as far as I know.”

Now Heidi’s doctor is promoting his willingness to warp anyone into an older, plastic-looking clone in a serious of interviews with Radar Online. He told the gossip site that Heidi’s surgeries were a “smart career move,” but added in another segment that he wouldn’t enlarge Heidi’s enormous boobs past their current double-D state. Heidi has said that she wants unmanageable size “H” boobs that would match her first initial.

Reality TV star Heidi Montag’s ten plastic surgeries in one day shocked America — and now, speaking out for the first time, her surgeon Dr. Frank Ryan exclusively told RadarOnline.com that the stunning 23-year-old had the procedures done not only to enhance her appearance but also as part of a “well thought out career move.”

Ryan told us that Heidi decided to undergo drastic plastic surgery because she felt self-conscious about her out-sticking ears and protruding chin; but he also reveals she was motivated by the desire to look her best to excel in show business, an industry that, too often, focuses too much attention on style vs. substance.

“I couldn’t have done that,” Ryan said of the ten surgeries in a day. “Sitting down there with the wisdom of someone much older and thinking: ‘What is it I really need to do to propel my career?’ Is it right or wrong to use plastic surgery to propel your career? I don’t know. [But] since Marilyn Monroe and back, its been happening left and right, so that was her decision.”

Ryan also told us Montag’s husband Spencer Pratt was Heidi’s rock when it came to supporting his wife in her bold decision.

“I think Heidi was 100 percent essentially, and Spencer was plus minus about it,” Ryan said. “He wanted to support her because he really loves her — they are both a really loving couple — that frankly the public doesn’t know they are truly devoted to one another and loving, but he loves his wife and agreed to do it.”

In response to an exclusive report by RadarOnline.com detailing Montag’s father, Bill, being concerned for his daughter’s well-being, Ryan — who has performed as many as 20 surgeries on a patient in a single day — said he believes The Hills starlet’s decision making was sound.

“Liposuction and breast surgery goes on in great numbers,” he said. “Heidi is 23-years-old [and] has been voting for five years — she is an adult, she made an informed decision, she made a good call as an adult … dads are really anti-breast implants for their daughter actually, so the reaction is they want to support their daughter or son getting plastic surgery, because they want to be there for them, or saying, ‘Honey, you are perfect the way you are.’

“Doesn’t surprise me, quite frankly,” Ryan said.

[From Radar Online]

Heidi’s doctor seemed pretty convincing in the video, like he really believed that Heidi was of sound mind when she decided to have all those surgeries. He minimized the vast amount of work she had done, though, and just started by describing how she had her ears pinned back (“We do that for six year olds”) and how she wanted her chin to be smaller, which is a common request for women. He didn’t defend the eight other things she had done, like making her existing nosejob even smaller, getting even bigger breast implants, an eye lift, having neck lipo and stomach lipo etc. He said “I think Heidi looks absolutely spectacular. Phenomenol. You have to keep in mind that she’s just human it’s just two months.” He said she’s still healing, though.

Heidi scored the cover of People Magazine with her plastic surgery story. In that sense it may have been incredibly short-sighted but “smart” by some people’s estimates to age herself over 10 years with a bunch of surgery she didn’t need. The sh*tty album she was promoting sold less than 1,0000 copies, though, and she financed the production herself to the tune of over a million dollars. All that money wasted and all she got was a much older face.

Heidi Montag may have scored the coveted cover of People Magazine last week with her quickly retracted “addicted to plastic surgery” story, but it doesn’t seem to have helped her album sales. Heidi moved less than 1,000 copies of her aptly titled “Superficial” CD, but she did a little better with iTunes downloads. Over 6,000 people subjected themselves to Heidi’s unique blend of mediocre autotone monotony. This has to be devastating to Heidi, who is so sensitive to criticism that she used it as an excuse for getting so much plastic surgery that she looks like a different, puppet-like person at the age of 23. She also said that she was certain her album would be a bestseller, and that she spent nearly $2 million making it:

The “Hills” star’s debut album “Superficial” has sold less than 1,000 copies in its first week, according to Us. Montag, 23, has said she wants to be the next Britney Spears, but she has a long way to go: Spear’s last album “Circus” sold more than 500,000 copies in its first week.

I’ve spent over $1 million, almost $2 million, on this album. It’s cost as much or more than a Britney Spears album because I wanted it to be that quality. I put every dollar I have into this,” Montag told EW last week. When asked what she would do if the album flopped, Montag said, “That’s not even a possibility. I think within the first week we will definitely make our money back. The songs will make an impact in pop history.”

Earlier this month, People reported that the actress is addicted to plastic surgery and once underwent 10 procedures in a single day. “My ultimate dream is to be a pop star. I’m competing against the Britney Spearses of the world — and when she was in her prime, it was her sex appeal that sold,” she said.

Although her album has sold fewer than 1,000 copies, Nielsen SoundScan reports that her individual songs for sale have been downloaded on Amazon and iTunes more than 6,000 times.

In related news about Heidi, her plastic surgeon denies her story that she “almost died” and needed oxygen while in an aftercare facility after her 10 procedures. He told Access Hollywood “That didn’t happen as far as I know.” Listen to how he qualified that with “as far as I know.” This guy was willing to completely remake a 23 year-old’s face that didn’t need it. It’s not like he has a ton of scruples. He also claimed Heidi is a “savvy business woman” who isn’t addicted to surgery.

Anyway I feel bad for Heidi. Of course no one is going to buy her album, and she’ll be stuck with that face for the rest of her life. Maybe she’ll try and fix it, but it will only get worse.

Heidi Montag and her mangled face are making the talk show rounds to promote her new excuse for an album. The 23 year-old “Hills” actress underwent a whopping 10 elective plastic surgery procedures at once in November, and told Good Morning America yesterday that she’s mostly pleased with the results but that she doesn’t think her comic triple D boobs are big enough. Montag’s plastic surgeon was interviewed on Good Morning America, and he claimed that there wasn’t much risk associated with such a long surgery because Heidi was young and healthy. Another plastic surgeon told GMA that performing so many operations at once was “irresponsible,” not to mention the ethical issues involved with unnecessary operations on an already lovely young woman.

One thing that Heidi and her doctor failed to mention on GMA is that there were serious complications from her surgery. Heidi’s breath slowed down markedly during her recovery period due to an overdose of Demerol and she almost died. She had a security guard with her at an aftercare center and he noticed that she was barely breathing and called the nurses. Heidi told this to Access Hollywood, and the details are below. You can see her video on their website. The video above is from Extra! and it isn’t consistent with what she told Access Hollywood. She told Extra! that she wanted even bigger boobs.

Heidi Montag says her decision to undergo 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day almost killed her. And despite her alleged brush with death, Heidi says she’s ready to bare her new body in the pages of Playboy again – as soon as she gets all of her normal movement back.

“I almost died after my procedure,” Heidi told Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush on Monday. “I had too much Demerol like Michael Jackson did and my breathing was five breaths per minute which is like almost dead. [I was] in an aftercare center, there were nurses that were supposed to be tending to me at all times.

“So thank God, Charles, one of my security guys used to be an EMT, and he was timing my breath on his watch and he called the nurses and they had to put oxygen on my face and called my plastic surgeon to come in for an emergency. So, it was a very traumatic experience for me,” she continued.

Two months after the surgery, Heidi said she is now starting to regain all of the movement in her face.

“I’m starting to move my face more and more,” Heidi said. ‘[But,] I feel very plastic… especially when I first came out, it was so hard for me even to smile and it’s still hard for me to chew sometimes. But it’s feeling more and more natural everyday because the swelling is going down.”

On November 20, Heidi underwent 10 procedures that included a mini brow lift, Botox in the forehead, nose job revision, fat injections in cheeks and lips, chin reduction, neck liposuction, ears pinned back, breast augmentation revision, liposuction on her waist and thighs and a buttocks augmentation. But, she told Billy she’s not addicted to plastic surgery.

“I do love it and I appreciate it and I appreciate the science behind it,” she explained. “How incredible… we [are] blessed to even have this surgery that we have. We’re so advanced. If Cleopatra were alive now, I’m sure she’d have triple D’s… there’s always been a struggle between pain and beauty. I feel like since the beginning of time.”

Heidi revealed that she initially wanted breasts in the largest size possible, but is now happy with what she’s got.

“At first I kept saying my boobs aren’t big enough. I wanted 800 cc’s and I ended up getting about 650 cc’s. 800 is the largest size that they make,” she explained. “I wanted them to be larger originally, but this is all that could fit into my body. So, I kept saying like a crazy person for eight weeks, saying I want them bigger I want them bigger. I think I’m good with them now… They’re triple D’s or F’s pretty much, I wanted ‘H’ for Heidi but that didn’t really happen that way.”

As far as her revealing People magazine cover, Heidi told Billy she was not paid by the mag and that People did not pay for her procedures. She explained that she paid for all of her work herself, which is estimated to have cost around $30,000.

And after two months of staying out of the public eye, Heidi reveled that she’s ready to have all eyes on her again in the pages of Playboy.

“I’m beyond ready to do it again,” Heidi said when asked she would pose for the men’s magazine a second time.

I don’t see anything wrong with getting a little plastic surgery if you want a specific result like a smaller nose, larger breasts or a tighter, younger face. I’m not against plastic surgery, if it’s done well, and I’ve said before that my mother had a face lift and let it settle and it looks natural. I haven’t had anything done yet but it’s likely that I will.

In Heidi’s case she didn’t like how she looked overall, though, and wants some abstract result like being an entirely different person. She told Billy Bush that she didn’t like her first round of procedures, a breast job and a nose job and said that her motivation for having surgery was people making fun of her “I wasn’t happy with the way that I looked. My breasts were smaller than I originally intended them to be. My nose was broken from [being] a backup dancer and I had to get that reset. On blogs and on after shows people would circle my chin and say I had Jay Leno chin so I wouldn’t smile on red carpets because it would elongate my chin.” That’s really sad! She had so much work done because she had such low self esteem that she took criticism to heart and thought she wasn’t worthy. Heidi was a beautiful woman, both before and after her first round of surgery, but now she looks like that Barbie she wants to have made in her image. I have a feeling she’ll be returning for another round of procedures well before she turns 30.

Heidi Montag is getting her face time in before her People Magazine “Addicted to Plastic Surgery” cover is off the stands. The 23 year-old freakishly altered reality star claimed on Good Morning America today you can see the video here) that she’s not addicted to plastic surgery or she would have had ten surgeries. When the interviewer countered that Heidi did have 10 surgeries, she said she’d had 2 surgeries, with ten procedures in her latest round. It took over ten hours to do all of Heidi’s latest work, but her surgeon says that’s not an issue because she’s 23 and healthy. Another plastic surgeon told GMA that it was irresponsible to do so many surgeries/procedures in one day. Heidi said that her main message is that beauty is within, but in the same interview she also said she hopes to get a Barbie made in her image and that she doesn’t think her triple D boobs are big enough. Here’s People magazine’s recap:

Under fire for the staggering number of cosmetic procedures she’s recently undergone, Heidi Montag now says she isn’t addicted to plastic surgery – she just wants to be as beautiful as she can be, inside and out.

Asked on Tuesday’s Good Morning America for a response to those who say she is addicted, Montag, 23, replied: “I would say that none of those people know me at all, and that’s just a judgment. I’m not addicted. If I were addicted, I would have had 10 plastic surgeries.”

What she had, actually, was 10 procedures on the same day, back in November. This followed a previous surgery three years ago. In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Montag admitted she was “beyond obsessed” with having work done.

She is now backing away from that notion.

Asked why she would want to look like a Barbie doll, Montag replied: “I think I look like myself. I think I just look like a different, improved version of myself.”

Many observers are upset with the message that’s sent to young girls when an already attractive 23-year-old chooses to undergo so many alterations. But Montag says it’s her life – and in her line of work, alterations can be necessary.

“I’m in a different industry,” she said, “and I have to do things that are going to make me happy at the end of the day.”

She added: “I’m living in my skin, and I look in the mirror and it’s my career and my life, and you only have one. So, I want to take advantage of everything and be the best me, in and out, every way.”

[From People]

At the end of the interview, the interviewer tries to get Heidi to sing and she says she can’t because her face is still hurting from all the work she had done. I think it’s safe to assume she can’t sing at all and relies on auto-tune and her purchased face to sell CDs. The good news is that People magazine sounds annoyed at Heidi for backtracking on her “addicted to plastic surgery claims.” Maybe now that the circulation numbers are coming in they’re realizing that it’s foolish to put this faux star on the cover. Everything about Heidi is fake, through and through, and she’s right that triple D boobs aren’t enough for her. She can’t get enough work done to compensate for her bland personality and lack of talent.
