It’s no secret that Kim Kardashian has a face made of lies, Botox, fillers and surgery scars. I mean, we all know it, but Kim has always denied it. Her face was normal (-ish) back in 2006, when people just wondered if she had ass implants and a nose job. Since then, Kim has pushed back her hairline through electrolysis, she’s ‘Toxed the hell out of her face, she’s gotten her eyes done (my opinion) and she’s jacking her lips with as much crap (if not more) as Nicole Kidman and Lindsay Lohan. So, this In Touch Weekly is just a reminder – Kim is a narcissistic plastic surgery monster.

Recent photos of Kim Kardashian show her sporting a plumper pout. A friend of Kim’s confirms to In Touch: “Kim is even more addicted to plastic surgery than ever before.”

While the 31-year-old star has always been overly concerned with her looks, plas say she’s become obsessed ever since her October split from Kris Humphries and subsequent fall from grace.

Instead of retreating from the public eye to regroup, Kim’s putting all her focus on her appearance.

“She’s becoming more and more absorbed in her self image,” says a source.

In her latest bid for physical perfection, plastic surgeon Dr. Matthew Schulman believes Kim underwent a lip augmentation.

“It was likely done with a filler like Restylane,” he tells In Touch. Celeb makeup artist at Valery Joseph salon Rachel Gangemi agrees: “There is no way lip gloss and lip liner can create that much volume!”

While fillers may be helping her get closet to her beauty ideal, her antics are only driving friends and family further away.

“Her sisters think she’s so vain,” says the source. “They feel like all she cares about is her image.”

In recent photos, I keep saying that her lips look crazy. But as I was looking back at her old human face, I got really sad. She really was a pretty girl back in the day. She had a genuine exotic prettiness, and it’s totally gone now. She killed it with all of that unnecessary crap she’s done.

Ooooh, this is a good not-so-blind item. LeAnn Rimes tweeted yesterday that she had “minor surgery” and she’s currently in a lot of pain. What did she have done?!?! The Mail has new photos of LeAnn here – her face is partially in shadow, but it doesn’t look puffy or anything, so I’m guessing she didn’t get a nose job. I’m also guessing she didn’t get her lips done, or any kind of facelift or something major like that. So what was it?

When you’re feeling down and out, there’s nothing like feeling the sand beneath your toes to make you feel better. That’s exactly what LeAnn Rimes thought as she headed to Malibu after undergoing surgery on her face.

The singer revealed on Twitter she had had an operation, but didn’t go into detail, just saying the procedure was minor. She was spotted on the balcony of a beach house in a string bikini, enjoying the scorching rays.

The stylish two piece – one of the many in her collection – featured a pink, purple and white paisley design and she paired the number with a blue and white trucker hat. A loyal friend was seen lathering sunblock on the 29-year-old’s back. She later covered up in a white kaftan as she enjoyed a cold beverage.

The How Do I Live singer told her 241,000 Twitter followers earlier: ‘K, coming clean….I had minor surgery this week and I’ve been in SO much pain it’s not even funny. Nothing major just annoying! Pain pain go away!!!!!! When it’s mouth pain and jaw pain it makes your whole head pound! YUCK’

She later revealed she had had ‘facial surgery’ and joked to a friend ‘Lol that makes it sound like I got work done. You are gonna start some rumors’.

LeAnn added: ‘The pain is subsiding finally for a moment. My head has been vibrating all day. Maybe the sand under my feet is helping.’

[From The Mail]

My two best guess are something tweaked on her boobs or some kind of eye surgery (de-squintification?) because her sunglasses seem comically oversized and in the one photo where you can see her eyes clearly, her eyes do look slightly bruised. LeAnn had her boobs done more than a year ago, and considering how bad and lopsided they looked, I wouldn’t blame her at all for going in and trying to fix them. But she’s wearing a bikini top in those photos – so I’m really thinking she got some kind of eye work.

UPDATE: Ah, I completely missed that she referenced mouth and jaw pain. So she had some kind of oral surgery. MY BAD!

Here’s a photo that LeAnn tweeted yesterday:

*NOTE: The bolt-on photos are HERE.

A few days ago, CB and I were talking about whether or not Cameron Diaz got bolt-ons, and we talked about it for a while, and now I can’t remember why neither one of us wrote it up. We were probably just having one of those days, I guess. Like, “Yeah, that’s a good story.” And, “She totally got them done. Okay, so what should I write about next?” I guess we didn’t cover it because we don’t have access to the photos – you can see them here, at The Mail. At first, I was like “That could just be the result of a more supportive bikini top!” But it’s not. Camy got her boobs done, just like Alex Rodriguez wanted. They’re tasteful, at least, and by that I mean that they’re small and they fit her frame. Incidentally, Kate Hudson had a similar reaction to being dumped by Alex Rodriguez – shortly after their relationship ended, Kate got her bolt-ons too. Here’s more:

There were rampant rumors last year that ex-boyfriend Alex Rodriguez wanted Cameron Diaz to get breast implants, and now that she’s a single girl again, it seems she’s taken the plunge on her own terms!

When Cameron, 39, hit the beach in Hawaii earlier this month, it wasn’t a new man on her arm that caught everyone’s eye but her suddenly voluptuous figure, and RadarOnline.com has photos of her bustier look.

The Charlie’s Angels star, who is famous for being firmly flat chested, was suddenly overflowing from her bikini as she basked in the sun and sauntered along the Pacific.
Plastic surgeon Dr. Marcel Daniels of Long Beach, California (who has not treated the star) thinks that Diaz has gone under the knife to boost her bust, as her new look is due to more than just weight gain from holiday indulgences.

“In my opinion, she has had an augmentation and not just gained weight as she is as thin as ever,” Dr. Daniels told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview.

While many stars go over the top when they get a boob job, the surgeon credited Cameron for her subtlety, having gone, he estimates, from a tiny A to a modest C cup.

“I think that by going for proportionally sized implants she has succeeded in making people wonder if they are real or real expensive…the hall mark of a job well done!” he said. “It is not overdone and fills out her bikini nicely.”

Despite always saying she wished she was more voluptuous, the Bad Teacher actress has always embraced her boyish figure but recently told British Vogue, “I’ll never say never to anything,” when asked if she would ever get plastic surgery.

Getting implants at her age isn’t that unusual according to Dr. Daniels, who explained that many women suddenly want breast implants in their late 30s and 40s. “It might be a career move to look a little curvier and sexier,” he revealed.

She’s not the only A-lister to move on up from an A cup.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Kate Hudson is also rumored to have gone under the knife after showing off a much curvier bust line.

The National Enquirer spoke to yet another plastic surgeon who basically claims the same thing, only that Camy got them done very recently, which makes the surgeon sound like a Camy-obsessed stalker. As for the whole debate about small boobs and implants – my biggest problem is when a celebrity doesn’t admit obvious work, and when a celebrity gets really obvious work. Camy’s bolt-ons are well-done, and I hope she won’t try to deny it. And I really hope that she didn’t get them so that A-Rod would notice. What the hell does Alex tell these women that, while dating him, they become gristly gladiators, and once dumped, they get their boobs done? It’s so weird.

Man, I have to admit to thoroughly enjoying digging up the photos for this story because the memories of Tom Cruise’s 2005 public breakdown (particularly while he toured for War of the Worlds and MI3) really needed some refreshing. You see, Tom was rather well behaved during the entire Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol promotional tour. Basically, Tom was so tame in his behavior that we all focused instead upon his botoxy, nebulous, tweaked-up, plastic-surgery face. Well, that and his adorable little lifts, which by the way, really are much different Robert Downey Jr.’s lifts (RDJ proudly owns those things, and Cruise pretends they don’t exist at all). Yet Tom did very well during this tour to reign in the crazy. Someone very wise advised him to focus on talking about the stunts. There was no jumping up and down on couches, no mention of Scientology, no fingers pointed in journalist’s faces, no crazed expressions, no happy trails revealed at baseball games, no motorcyle rides down the red carpet, and no strange body language. In other words, there was none of this:

Tom also didn’t pull any sketchy red-carpet PDA on director Brad Bird like he did to poor Steven Spielberg:

In addition, Tom also significantly toned down the public perception of his relationship to Katie Holmes. Sure, he paid brief lip service how “amazing” she is, and he etched a love note to her on the Burj Khalifa, and then he papped himself for an entire weekend with Katie and Suri, but he also left Katie at home for all of the international premieres. When she did show up on the NYC red carpet, things were so restrained that Kaiser declared that Katie and Tom were “phoning it in”. That’s certainly a natural reaction while observing a zombie couple who used to act like this on the red carpet:

Essentially, Tom has been working very hard to reign in his wacky OT Level VIII, Scientology personality so that he can appeal more to the general public (a.k.a., “wogs”). Now he’s fully “refreshed” in more ways than just his face. A story in this week’s issue of In Touch confirms that Tom has enlisted the help of PR experts, who helped him cultivate a less “obnoxious” and more “sophisticated” vibe while promoting MI4:

As Tom Cruise strolled down the red carpet at the New York premiere of his latest blockbuster film, Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol, he looked cool, calm and collected. “He spoke in a soft voice, and was gracious to reporters and fans,” an onlooker at the December 19 event tells In Touch. “Everyone was so impressed with how warm and polite he was.”

Tom’s demure behavior was shocking — considering he usually acts totally amped up at his premiere extravaganzas, often dipping his wife, Katie Holmes, and greeting fans over-enthusiastically. But this time, Tom acted like a grown man, and it was intentional.

Six years after jumping on Oprah’s couch like a lunatic — and seeing his popularity dwindle — he is finally heeding the advice of his handlers. “While promting Mission: Impossible, Tom was instructed to keep the focus on the film and not his personal life,” an insider explains of the star, adding that Tom’s wild antics after he began dating Katie were blamed for the failure of his flick War of the Worlds. “He really aliented his fans with his bizarre behavior back then. This time, he was given guidelines on what is and isn’t acceptable.”

He wants everyone to like him. Now, instead of over-the-top publicity stunts and passionate public makeouts with Katie, 33, on the press circuit, a much calmer Tom is sticking to the subject. “I think making movies is a dream come true,” the 49-year-old told In Touch at his new film’s premiere. “It’s something I’ve never taken for granted.”

And with his mature new attitude, it seems like the dream will continue to be a reality for Tom. As the insider sums up, “He’s well on his way to regaining his throne as the most popular star in the world!”

[From In Touch, print edition, January 9, 2012]

This story mostly gets it right except for the finer detail about when Tom’s box-office potential tanked as a result of his outlandish behavior. Neither War of the Worlds ($234,280,354 domestic) nor MI3 ($134,029,801) were significantly affected because these were action films based either upon a great literary work or an existing franchise that people still really wanted to see regardless of the Cruise. However, when Tom tried in 2007 for a political drama in Lions for Lambs, no one showed up. That movie made a mere $15 million on a $35 million budget, and even though Meryl Streep and Robert Redford played supporting roles, people just didn’t want to see Tom in a leading role at that point. Part of this failure could be attributed to subject matter, but even a political movie should be able to recoup its relatively small budget when it stars A-listers. Primarily, that movie tanked because Tom’s crazy face continued well into 2006 and further tainted the well.

Here’s more memories, this time of 2006 in Cruiseland:

Here are even more photos of Tom Cruise papping himself with his family to promote MI4. The man is just … well, he doesn’t stop. I realize that he’s got a product to sell and has much at stake with this movie, and Kaiser described Tom’s attitude well in terms of “hustle,” but Tom really needs to take a break soon. I’m actually startng to worry about the little fella. It’s simply not healthy to run this hard for so long.

Also, Tom should really think about disappearing for awhile after he finishes up this MI4 publicity blitz because the backlash is commencing in earnest and from more than just a gossip standpoint. Even Reuters has published an article (a really “amazing“ one) entitled “The Curse of Being Tom Cruise” that includes much of what we’ve already discussed here including a bit about those paid fans in Mumbai. Overall, it’s a pretty brutal take on Tom’s public persona and concludes that Tom’s fame is quickly approaching that of a reality star instead of an A-list movie actor.

Now Hollywood Reporter has jumped in with a piece dedicated solely to the topic of Tom’s morphing face, which Kaiser, CB, and myself have already covered at great length. The HR article even discusses the Mail’s piece about Tom’s makeup fetish (which I referenced yesterday) and goes into detail about Tom’s secret professional relationship with a famous Brazilian plastic surgeon:

Tom Cruise, 49, is looking eerily younger than ever. Which leads us to surmise that A. he’s getting some help or B. he’s got a scary portrait in his attic. The actor — who turns 50 on July 3, 2012, — has looked particularly fresh-faced as he promotes his new movie Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol

So what’s his secret? According to the Brazilian mag EPOCA, Cruise has had meetings with world famous Brazilian plastic surgeon Dr. Ivo Pitanguy. Cruise even invited the good doctor to the 2009 Rio premiere of Knight and Day. And on that same trip, Cruise, wife Katie Holmes and daughter Suri, were photographed having a lunch at Pitanguy’s private island in Brazil’s Bay of Kings.

British tabs are already reporting that Cruise has become more concerned with his skin, even using his wife’s creams. Since Dr. Pitanguy’s skin care line, Beauty By Clinica Ivo Pitanguy, is also available at U.S department stores such as Berdorf Goodman, Cruise could indeed be slathering on his friend’s pricey goop. The New York Times has already lauded Pitanguy’s new “It” Cream, the Restoring Formula in his PreVious skin care line. The cost: $300 for 1.7 ounces.

Pitanguy is credited with triggering Brazil’s obsession with plastic surgery. He’s allegedly worked on Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Persian Empress Farah Diba, French president Francois Mitterrand and Frank Sinatra. A jet-setting multi-lingual Renaissance man, Ivo is also friends with Carla Bruni, the First Lady of France, Michael Caine and the late Salvador Dalí and Audrey Hepburn, The Times also profiled the good doctor, whose scapel has been said to be “guided by heaven.”

Another aging celebrity we’re keeping a close eye on is Rolling Stone Mick Jagger. Our sources say he’s now using his girlfriend L’Wren Scott’s magical skin potions from Dr. David Colbert, including Colbert’s Intensify Facial Discs, Stimulating Serum, Nutrify and Protect Day Dream and Heal and Soothe Night Cream, available at Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus and on his website.

If Dr. Colbert’s products can make a difference in Mick’s 68-year-old weathered face, we’re buying this stuff in bulk. And how many Frequent Flyer miles does it take to get to Brazil?

[From Hollywood Reporter]

A plastic surgeon who’s allegedly “guided by Heaven” doesn’t sound like he falls in line with the tenets of Scientology, right? Then again, the usual CO$ rules don’t necessarily apply to Tom. But yes, I totally buy that Katie and Suri were wined and dined while Tom was nipped and tucked.

Tom also appeared on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” to talk more about the MI4 stunts. Fallon’s praise was so effusive that I thought the poor guy was going to wet his pants in excitement, and when he called Tom a “manly man,” you could visibly see Tom’s feathers fluff right up. It was a lot like the final act of Black Swan. Anyway, Fallon totally beat Tom in a wreath-throwing contest too, and I bet it secretly killed Tom not to be the very best at something:

Meanwhile, here’s a photo of Katie stepping out alone on Tuesday evening (even robots need some breathing room) to check out the Broadway production of The Cherry Orchard, which sort of irks me because I adore Anton Chekov and even chose my daughter’s middle name based upon a character in that very play. Katie couldn’t possibly understand.

Later, Katie stepped out with Suri and Tom (photographed separately below) for yet another late night:

Suri, in an unusual gesture, seemed perfectly happy to interact with the paps:

Finally, here’s Tom walking by his lonesome behind Katie and Suri, which is strange because he usually likes to be front and center:

Jane Fonda, 73, got some work done on her face in early 2010. She was pretty open about it at the time, and just admitted she’d done it and even listed off the procedures she’d had. This came after Fonda swore off additional plastic surgery about a decade ago, having had a face lift and boob job by then. She realized that she was going back on her word, and she was very open and honest about it. I thought it was refreshing to hear a celebrity take that stance on plastic surgery and be like “yeah, I did it.” Plus Jane’s results were good. She looked a little puffy and pulled at first, but it settled for her and now she looks fabulous and not at all fake. In a recent interview on Rosie O’Donnell’s talk show (video above), Jane said that she wanted to get more done when she caught a glimpse of herself and realized that she wasn’t looking as good as she felt.

Jane explained the turning point that led to her decision, saying, “I was walking down the street and I saw a reflection of myself in the window and it scared me, because I feel so good and I look so tired.”

Jane had minimal work done — only requesting to remove the bags from under her eyes and to have a little nip/tuck just underneath her chin.

Ironically, her career in front of the camera was one of the reasons Jane remained adamant about keeping her crow’s feet and other signs of age.

Jane admitted to Rosie that an artificial look could have taken away from her ability to play women in her age bracket.

“I’m not proud of it at all,” Jane said of her procedures. “I wish I was braver.”

[From ET Online]

As Rosie mentioned, Jane did it the right way. She didn’t fill her face full of fillers and she didn’t ‘tox the hell out of herself. Plus she’s got a normal-looking nose that isn’t all shaved down. She doesn’t “look like that alien pulled Hollywood thing,” as Rosie puts it. I doubt she wishes she was braver, though. She looks good and she knows it. Sign me up for some of that, seriously. Just looking at Tom Cruise lately is convincing me that there are some gifted magicians among the hacks who work on celebrity faces.

Miley Cyrus was all over the place this past weekend. She attended both the CNN Heroes event, and the American Giving Awards. I thought she looked like ten kinds of hell at the American Giving Awards (in Jenny Packham), but at the CNN event (in Roberto Cavalli), she looked better, mostly because her face didn’t look so bloated and her hair was a slight improvement. Anyway, because Miley wore two low-cut gowns to those events, people started noticing her boobs. In particular, they noticed how Miley seems to have gotten much bustier (more busty?) over the past year. Boob job? That’s what Star Mag/Radar is claiming:

In the wake of Miley Cyrus’s busty appearance at Sunday’s CNN’s Heroes 2011 award, a trio of experts told Star magazine that there’s a strong indication the Hannah Montana star went under the knife to achieve the voluptuous new look.

Cyrus, 19, turned heads at the event as she walked the red carpet in a yellow Roberto Cavalli dress with her boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth.

“Her breasts are very nice and round and it looks like she has had them done,” said cosmetic physician Dr. Tahl Humes of Vitahl Medical Aesthetics in Colorado, using shots from the event provided by the magazine. “If you look at the volume, it appears she has had a breast augmentation.

“Whoever did them did a very good job,” Humes continued. “She might have had small implants, which is nice, because she is a small girl with a small frame.”

Humes cited the importance of the chest being in proportion with rest of the body, using an example that “Jennifer Aniston is a small person who has had small implants and that looks very natural as opposed to Pamela Anderson, who has very large implants and looks great … but that’s a different look.”

With more than three decades of experience, Michael Niccole of Orange County, California’s Cosmeticare said, “It appears that Miley has recently undergone breast enhancement surgery.”

Niccole noted the new-found cleavage might have been the result of a push-up bras, but other factors lead him to believe otherwise.

“Push-up bras are great for cleavage, but don’t help out a whole lot when it comes to the exterior breast volume, which is also what I notice in these photos,” Niccole said.

New Jersey-based board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Brian Glaat said the Disney star “does indeed appear to have had a breast augmentation,” noting her breasts are fuller and show more cleavage than before.

“The outline of the implants are clearly visible in the inner lower portions of her breasts,” Glaat said. “Even a large weight gain would not produce breast enhancement to this degree without implants!”

None of the doctors had treated Cyrus previously.

[From Radar]

Wait, that doctor is claiming – as fact – that Jennifer Aniston has implants? I will accuse Aniston of getting lots of work done to her nose, and I will accuse Aniston of inflating her face with fillers and Botox, but I will not accuse her of having a boob job. I buy that Aniston’s boobs are real.

As for Miley… I think that in the Cavalli gown, the support is just really good – she’s got her girls hiked up, and that’s why they look so “full”. You can see in the Packham gown that her boobs are actually slightly saggy and not as “pert” as they look in the Cavalli gown. It’s the sag that makes me think that Miley’s boobs are real – if they were fake, I think her boobs would be sitting “higher.” That, and they don’t look bolted-on to her chest. She’s 19 years old, and her weight is fluctuating, and sometimes that means that boob sizes go up and down – I went up a cup size in my early 20s, so don’t tell me that a 19 year old’s boobs won’t go up and down in size too.

If you hadn’t read the title and were just looking at the photo above, would you even know that was Marie Osmond? I wouldn’t. She looks like a totally different person. This is sad to me because Marie has gone through so much after her 18 year-old son committing suicide in early 2010. She did remarry her first husband in the spring of this year and seems to have some happiness in her life lately. She probably just wanted to freshen up her face a little bit and ended up looking like this.

For comparison, here’s what Marie looked like in June. She’s still totally fake and plastic-looking, but she hadn’t quite stepped over the line to freakish territory at that point. I think it’s the new lips (above) that put her over the edge.

Radar points out how different Marie looks now, and they interviewed a plastic surgeon speculating on what she’s had done. They also dug up some laughable quotes from her in which she’ll only cop to having skin resurfacing and using sunscreen. She’s had a whole facelift probably and it’s clear she’s injecting too much crap into her face now.

Marie Osmond’s ever-changing face has repeatedly sparked speculation that the entertainer has had plastic surgery, and her new super-tight look is adding fuel to the rumors.

When the 52-year-old former Dancing with the Stars contestant appeared at the 80th Anniversary of the Hollywood Christmas Parade on Sunday, she appeared more doll-like than the toys being donated for the holidays by the ‘Marine Toys For Tots’ charity she was supporting.

“Marie appears to have undergone a startling transformation,” celebrity plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn (who has not treated the star) told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview.

“Her eyebrows are excessively arched, likely from Botox injections. Her lips resemble the classic ‘trout pout’ where the upper lip is excessively plumped in comparison to the lower lip,” he explained, adding that it may be from Juviderm injections.

When recently asked by Prevention magazine how she felt about plastic surgery, Marie coyly answered: “We cherish youth more than we do wisdom. Will I do it? I’m sure. Nobody wants to have a saggy jowl. Is it bad to do? I don’t think anything is bad if it makes you feel better.”

“I’ve had a HydraFacial, which is a non-laser skin resurfacing. I had a second procedure, which was done with infrared light; it tightens the skin and stimulates collagen to make your face look more toned. And I use a lot of sunscreen.”

However, our plastic surgery expert thinks her transformation is caused by something more aggressive than lasers, facials and sunscreen.

“The skin of her lower eyelids is smooth and wrinkle-free, possibly due to a lower eyelid lift, and her nasolabial folds (wrinkles from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth) are blunted, likely due to injections of Restylane,” revealed Dr. Youn.

“Finally, the skin of her face is pristine – it’s as smooth as a marble counter-top! I suspect she’s undergone laser treatments, such as the new Syneron eTwo laser,” he concluded.

[From Radar]

I’ve said it countless times: there’s nothing wrong with getting some light work done. Just know when to stop! Don’t keep getting injections and don’t keep fixing stuff that doesn’t need to be fixed. I’m 38 and I’m thinking of doing a few things. It’s hard to accept that you’re getting older and you no longer look like the image of yourself that you have in your head. It’s just creepy and tragic when people end up looking like cartoon characters instead of humans, though. I hope that this settles for Marie and that she realizes it’s time to stop.

On October 29, 2011:

Here she is now:

US Magazine has a photo montage of Kate Gosselin through the years along with some speculation from a plastic surgeon that Kate had a facelift at the ripe old age of 36. Many of you noticed how totally different her face looked in those photos of her “working” at her new job at CouponCabin.com. As an aside, I want to mention that Kate went off to Australia with her paid help boyfriend, the married bodyguard, just a few days after that press release which suggested she got a 9 to 5 job. Can you imagine a mid level employee at a regular office job like that taking off for vacation just a few days after they started? They would get canned pronto. Anyway Kate got a new face to go with that new job she occasionally shows up for.

Has Kate Gosselin gone under the knife — again?

When the former reality star recently reported for her first day as a CouponCabin.com blogger, she revealed a new face to go with her new gig. And it’s not the first time the formerly full-figured brunette has freshened up.

“She’s consumed with her appearance,” a source says of Gosselin, 36, whose TLC reality show Kate Plus 8 was canceled in August.

To keep her youthful appearance, the single mom of eight — who got a tummy tuck in 2007 and breast implants in 2009 — relies on thrice-weekly tanning sessions. Last June, she even gave herself Botox injections! (The result: unnaturally arched eyebrows.)

New York City plastic surgeon Jon Turk tells the new issue of Us Weekly (on sale Monday) that based on recent photos, it looks like Gosselin’s gone more extreme this time: A defined jawline and changed eye shape “suggest a facelift.”

It’s not surprising, the source tells Us: “Kate wants to look 10 years younger.”

[From US Weekly]

I don’t know if this bitch got a whole facelift. I’m thinking she had a “liquid facelift,” or extensive Botox and Restylane. Remember how different Jill Zarin looked after hers? Zarin claimed it was all ‘tox and fillers, although it’s possible she had a ton of work done and lied about it too. Kate could have had a couple of minor procedures to change the shape and look of her face as well, particularly buccal fat pad removal, where the fat is sucked out from the cheeks, and an eye lift. I wouldn’t put it past her to get a total face lift after Kate Plus 8 got canned, though. The sad thing is, she looks a lot better now. I would prefer it if she looked like a plastic freak, to be honest.

In 2009:

In 2010 looking squinty from ‘tox:

Now:

Here’s Nicole Richie last night at Fred Segal promoting her fashion line House of Harlow (above). I didn’t even recognize her from the thumbnails. Her face looks much different to me, like she had fillers or a minor procedure and it hasn’t settled yet. It could be just some overdone makeup and a tired mom, but I’m seeing a big difference in how she looks.

Compare her last night to how she looked on November 12th.

Also this is how she looked on October 17th.

It’s possible she gained a little weight that she really needed, or that she had dental work done. She also now bears a resemblance to her frenemy, Rachel Zoe. Are you seeing it? I am.

I have a question that occurred to me after watching “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” last week. If all your friends were getting Botox, fillers and minor procedures would you do it too? I probably would, I’ll be honest, especially if a close friend had decent results and could recommend someone. That’s why I’m grateful that I no longer live in a big city. I was getting pretty close to that point.

Nicole wore sequin Halston, and the cut of the dress is pretty unflattering. Maybe she’s pregnant and that’s why she’s looking different, or it could just be some unflattering angles or something. I should speculate on Richie’s womb or she’ll verbally bitch slap us again. I pretty much deserve it.

Oh this reminds me that she got new boobs recently. She probably thought she’d get a little something extra while she was in for a check up.
