Lindsay Lohan slams Ashlee Simpson for getting plastic surgery


Lindsay Lohan should either keep her mouth shut or try to make sure that people stop making up fake quotes and attributing them to her, because she supposedly slammed Ashlee Simpson for getting plastic surgery. She said that the tabloids didn't pay enough attention to Ashlee's new nose, but that's bullshit because it was all over the place and Ashlee was even forced to admit that she had rhinoplasty.

Lindsay Lohan has blasted tabloids for speculating about her ample chest, after they ""blew off the fact"" concerning Ashlee Simpson's recent cosmetic surgery on her nose.

Lohan, 20, has long been the subject of rumors she has undergone breast enhancement surgery, while Simpson's rhinoplasty operation in April made an obvious difference to her nose and was confirmed by her publicist.

The Mean Girls star believes Simpson's nose job was virtually ignored compared to the amount of media attention her breasts attracted, which Lohan has always insisted are completely natural.

Lohan says, ""It's like when they said I got my chest done and it wasn't true.

""(The tabloids) kind of blew off the fact that Ashlee Simpson got a nose job. I've never done anything.""

Lohan also repeated that lie that her boobs are real, saying she's never done anything. Yeah, she didn't do it, a plastic surgeon did. She's pretty good at arguing the finer points of the truth. Maybe she should go to law school. Oh wait - she'd have to go to college first. (Yeah, I'm blasting the celebrities for lack of education today. It kind of amazes me how popular Lohan and Paris are when they didn't even try to go to college.)

Here are both Ashlee and Lohan outside of club Hyde in Hollywood. They missed each other by a couple of nights and several fistfulls of martinis. Lohan was there on August 17th and Ashlee was there on August 20th. If you saw these pictures of Lohan last week I'm sorry, but I just couldn't resist her drunken mug. Pictures [via] [via] and [via] Thanks to smart for the tip.

Is Gwyneth Paltrow considering lipo?


Britain's The Mirror is reporting that Gwyenth Paltrow wants plastic surgery to repair her post-baby figure. They claim that she had a talk with friends in which she admitted to not being pleased with her body and asking about surgical options. While I think comparison photographs make it clear that Gwyneth has had plastic surgery on her face, including a nose job and eye lift, I doubt this conversation ever took place. I've caught the British tabloids making up shit wholesale (and I'm sure the American rags do it too, the Brits are just more obvious) and this sounds like a fabricated story:

The mum-of-two and wife of COLDPLAY’s CHRIS MARTIN told a group of old American friends who were visiting London last week: “My stomach is rippling, my breasts don’t feel good. I’ve been trying to work out. I want to do something about it.”

Then she quizzed one of them about surgery while they were lunching at North London’s trendy Lord Stanley pub.

And, in true American style, her chum recommended she have the op in New York so she wouldn’t be pictured going to hospital.

Gwyneth, who gave birth to son Moses by caesarean in April, also confessed she wasn’t sure about having any more children.

She told her friends she loved being a mum. But when they asked if she planned to have more children she replied: “I don’t think so.”

The article goes on to say that Gwyneth confessed that her two year-old daughter, Apple, is jealous of newborn Moses.

It's possible that one of her friends blabbed about the conversation or that a waiter overheard them, but I think that the Mirror knew that Gwyneth dined with American friends at a particular restaurant and filled in the details. She looks great, but she's not as thin as she normally is and guessing that she's not happy with her body isn't that much of a stretch.

Here are recent pictures of Gwyneth that I read were taken outside of a London gym. Hot Momma Drama asks if she could be pregnant, but it just looks like she's wearing an unflattering top.

Barbra Streisand gets some plastic surgery


Barbra Streisand must have seen those terrible pictures of herself that came out recently, or maybe she just wants to spruce up for her latest concert comeback. Regardless she's seen outside a plastic surgeon's office clutching a juice box while covered in a black veil.

It will take more than surgery to fix Babs. Maybe she should call Madonna and get some tips on how to slim down while cashing in on tired old gimmicks to sell out concerts. Barbra desperately needs the help, her high-priced concert tickets aren't selling well and her longterm fans are pissed at paying big bucks for her last tour, which she claimed was her final one.

Gwyneth Paltrow is a space cadet with a lot of plastic surgery


One of Gwyneth's co-stars in the London stage production of "Proof" said that she had some bizarre practices backstage.

The 33-year-old [Paltrow] insisted on personal chefs to cook her meals, instigated group hugs and practiced yoga between performances.

Stewart recalls, "Gwyneth is lovely but she is, in the nicest sense, in another world.

"Personal chefs prepared her macrobiotic food but the food was delicious -- even brownies with no chocolate!

"She practiced yoga so she was incredibly flexible. I didn't have to do that but we did have a cast 'group hug' every night. It is so not British, but it was OK."

It sounds pretty normal to do yoga if that's your thing, but a personal chef at a theatre production? I don't know. Couldn't she have her macrobiotic meals delivered?

Group hugs are kind of strange, but not damning. I usually look at the crap Gwyneth says to call her pretentious. Reader Millie has a friend who is an acquaintance of Paltrow's and says she's really nice, though.

WWTDD really dislikes Gwyneth, and is quick to point out that she has no higher-level education and got her early work from family friends:

Keep in mind that she has no education. She went to three different spoiled hippie high schools and then quit during her first semester in college. All her early roles were given to her by family friends (think Spielberg and 'Hook'). Her biggest accomplishment was being born rich and connected.

And Oh No They Didn't shows before and after pictures of Gwynnie's face that make it clear that she's had rhinoplasty and eye work. She had a good surgeon, I can say that for her.

Dita Von Teese picture post


Dita Von Teese, the burlesque performer and wife of Marilyn Manson, redeemed herself partially in our eyes by admitting that her boobs are fake.

The burlesque star is proud of her cosmetically enhanced bosom and sees no shame in giving nature a helping hand.

She says, "Why deny it? I'll always be very open about it. I hate it when people in the public eye aren't honest about any surgery that they've had."

I was annoyed with Dita a little over a month ago when she was quoted putting down other strippers and acting like hers was the only act in town. Doc pointed out that I have no clue about burlesque, and he was partially right. There's a difference between stripping and teasing, and in Dita's case it's to the tune of millions of dollars that can't just be stuffed in her panties.

Now she's admitted to surgery and that's a step in the non-bullshit direction. She still has much farther to go.

She says her job is "liberating" since she charges tens of thousands of dollars for an appearance, and that she's a sex symbol to both men and women. She also poo-poos the charges that she's setting back feminism:

She said: "Some people say what I do isn't very liberating. I say it's pretty liberating to get $20,000 for 10 minutes work.

"And as many women as men come to my shows. When I started my website in 1993, it was geared towards men. Now it has more female visitors - not necessarily lesbians, just young women interested in my style."

Dita, 33, who is married to rock star Marilyn Manson, thinks women are interested in her because they want tips on how they can become sexier to please their partners.

She added to Britain's The Times newspaper: "Most women want to be sex symbols, even if they don't admit it. Imagine being considered not for your mind but for how you look. Sort of fun, don't you think?"

There's all sorts of things wrong with that comment, and it could be considered downright nasty, if not ignorant and rude. There's nothing wrong with being sexy, but that doesn't mean that should be the only way you're evaluated in life. If that's the case then you're screwed no matter how sexy you are. It's not fun to be considered a piece of meat or an ornament. She might not have actually said this, though. It's attributed to The Times, but the quote sounds fake and is reprinted in a source that's not reliable.

In case you're a big Dita fan and think I'm being harsh, consider how many pictures I'm posting of her from various photoshoots. In the ladybug one she looks like a tranny. [via]

Jessica Alba nose job controversy: Part II


On Monday we reported that it looked like Jessica Alba had a nose job based on HQs of her at two different events last week. She was at the premiere of "An Inconvenient Truth" last night, and her nose still looks different than it did at the ALMA awards, but not dramatically so.

We checked out earlier pictures of Alba, and it seems like the lighting at the ALMA awards was particularly unflattering.

She could be using some alternate method to shrink her nose, as was mentioned in the article we sourced. If she did have work done, it was subtle. At this point we don't think she had a nose job.

Here is Alba at the ALMA awards, and at premiere of "An Inconvenient Truth" in LA. "An Inconvenient Truth" is a documentary about global warming featuring president Al Gore:

Director Davis Guggenheim eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Mr. Gore's personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global climate change. A longtime advocate for the environment, Gore presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful and compelling way. "Al Gore strips his presentations of politics, laying out the facts for the audience to draw their own conclusions in a charming, funny and engaging style, and by the end has everyone on the edge of their seats, gripped by his haunting message," said Guggenheim. An Inconvenient Truth is not a story of despair but rather a rallying cry to protect the one earth we all share. "It is now clear that we face a deepening global climate crisis that requires us to act boldly, quickly, and wisely," said Gore.

Alba is concerned about the environment and drives a hybrid Prius. You can do your part by walking and riding your bike whenever possible, replacing your lightbulbs with energy star efficient bulbs, and reusing plastic bags. Minor changes do make a difference.

Did Jessica Alba get a nose job?


Plastic Fantastic is reporting that Jessica Alba's nose looks surgically altered based on photos taken of her several days apart last week. At the ALMA awards on 5/7 her nose looks normail, but in a photo taken at Joe Francis' birthday party on 5/11, it looks pinched and strange. The article explains:

It's most likely that she's just sucking in her nostrils, but her face looks too natural for her to be doing that. Also her nostrils don't look deflated, which would occur if she was using the muscles on her face to "squeeze" her nose down. But she's smiling very widely.

If she did get a nose job, it's bad, because it's much too small, pointy and...for lack of a better word, dinky.

Jessica has expressed unhappiness about her nose in the past, she mentioned that she can't use too much powder on her nose, because it's round.

A rhinoplasty usually takes a few weeks to a month to be presentable, but apparently Ashlee Simpson's nose job healed in 5 days as well - and hers is very real and very apparent.

They can use injectable fillers above and below a hump, like Ashlee's nose, to camouflage the hump, but to shrink a nose you actually need to do a full on surgery to remove material from inside.

It's possible she's wearing a lot of makeup, and has taken anti-inflammatories such as bromelain, arnica and cortisone steroids. Or she's just squeezing her nose. On some of the close-ups, here, there's some slight discoloration around her cheeks, close to the nose.

At first I didn't believe that Alba got a nose job, but then I looked carefully at several before and after HQs and her nose seems to take up less space now. You can see a real difference in these two pictures:

Before HQ: 5/7/06
After HQ: 5/11/06

There's a little discoloration in her cheeks near her nose as the article mentions. Her nose could look smaller due to a difference in the lighting or makeup, and it's not that clear cut a difference across different photos. Her new nose doesn't look as bad as the article suggests, but it was cuter before.

There is also a good debate on the gossip rocks forum whether or not she's had a nose job.

Here are some more pictures to compare for yourself. These are pretty big, but you can see super high-res versions at the source:

Is Nicole Richie planning a nose job?


Nicole Richie is an obvious perfectionist about her body. She starves herself thin, and has admitted wanting to change her nose:

"If I could change anything about myself it would be my nose. I see a lot of nose jobs in Los Angeles but it's a big decision."

This may be her way of letting the press know that she's about to undergo plastic surgery. Richie was photographed outside a plastic surgeon's office on May 9th.

She needs to see a therapist and work out her issues. From what I learned from the handful of college-level psychology courses I attended while nursing a hangover, Richie suffers from body dysmorphic disorder:

No matter how much weight is lost, or no matter how much food is thrown up, the person with anorexia or bulimia will constantly see the same overweight, vile, failure in the mirror. This typically leads to very destructive and even deadly methods of weight loss in a desperate attempt to lose the distorted perception... Even though Body Dysmorphic disorder isn't just shown in cases of eating disorders (someone afflicted with BDD can obsess not about weight, but instead about their hair, nose, chest, etc.), it still hurts and ruins the lives of whoever is afflicted with it.

Meanwhile Richie has said that she's not friends with Paris Hilton anymore because she's just too good for her:

She tells Vanity Fair, "When I got out of rehab, I had to figure out what path to go down, and part of that included taking certain people out of my life. "I just decided I didn't want to be her (Hilton's) friend anymore. We're just two completely different people; we don't have that much in common."

Sounds like a junior-high level assessment of friendship.

Nicole looks like she has gained a little bit of essential weight. In these pictures of her shilling for Sprint at the E3 convention on Wednesday she looks slightly more healthy. Maybe her confession to Vanity Fair about being too thin helped her to eat a little bit.

Ashlee Simpson can't hide her new nose


Ashlee Simpson was all giggles when questioned directly whether she had plastic surgery on her nose. She simply said she "doesn't talk about it," which translates to "Yes, I did have plastic surgery people, leave me alone already":

When asked about the speculation during a phone interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday, Simpson giggled and said: "Everybody's already saying it, so I just don't talk about it. I'm like, OK, whatever. It doesn't bother me."

But when asked whether the rumor was true, the 21-year-old singer didn't confirm or deny it, but just giggled more.

"Maybe — who knows!"

It's ridiculous to say "who knows?" when she clearly would know.

Cityrag points out that Ashlee said she loved her nose about a year ago, claiming it gave her character:

Ashlee Simpson is featured on the cover of the January 2005 issue of Allure magazine. In the article, the singer admits, "I felt like my nose was big. I was always like, 'I'm going to get a nose job one day.' And I'm so glad that I didn't. I love my nose. I personally think that I've grown into my nose. I think it has character."

Now that Ashlee's single character-lending trait has been homogenized like the rest of her, we can safely assume that she's entirely manufactured.

Here she is at the airport in Atlanta. [via]

Thanks to CityRag for the header image.

Star Jones exposed to HIV (not what you think); Oprah's BFF to replace her


No, not in the obvious way. At least according to this story. The hospital where Star had the gastric bypass surgery that she refuses to admit to had a problem sterilizing its equipment. So this isn't as sensational a story as we were hoping, either, sorry about that:

May 4. Talk show host Star Jones refuses to talk about how she managed to lose more than 100 pounds. But tabloids have reported that Jones achieved her massive weight loss by undergoing gastric bypass surgery at a San Diego hospital.

MediaTakeOut.com has just learned that the hospital where Star is reported to have undergone the surgery is warning its patients that they may have been exposed to HIV. Administrators at Scripps Memorial Hospital in San Diego told patients yesterday that because a nurse failed to properly clean instruments used in stomach-reduction surgery, they may have been exposed to the virus.

According to Don Stanziano, a spokesman for the hospital, "the risk (of HIV exposure) is extremely low but to be safe and take every precaution, we are having blood drawn and tested." Stanziano also told MediaTakeOut.com that state health officials are investigating the nurse's failure to properly sterilize the equipment.

[via]

If all this is true, and not some kind of conspiratorial cover up for the fact that Star's husband infected her (we did not come up with this, the bulletin board where we found the news mentioned it first), then hopefully nothing happened to her, and she'll be able to get on with her career of becoming the spokesperson for hemorrhoid cream after she gets booted off The View.

Oprah's best friend, Gayle King, is said to be in the running for Star's place on The View. Star is not considered long for the show now that Rosie is taking Meredith Vieira's seat. Star's contract is up in September:

Here we go: the biggest rumor of the week has Gayle King, Oprah Winfrey’s best friend, confidante and employee taking a seat behind the desk at "The View."

King would be the perfect replacement for Meredith Vieira and Star Jones, that is if the latter decides to move on—or is pushed. King is a journalist and African American; she meets the criteria I suggested was needed here a few days ago.

Now, insiders say it’s not happening but other sources tell me oh yes it is. King did not return a call yesterday. But those close to new addition Rosie O’Donnell say she’s not only crazy about the idea, but would let King moderate the show if she wanted to.

Nearly anyone would make a better cohost then Star.

Russell Crowe says Sharon Stone looks like an orangutan


In an awesome quote, Russell Crowe lets loose on Sharon Stone, saying that she's had a lot of bad work done and looks like a orangutan:

Hollywood hardman RUSSELL CROWE is convinced his former co-star SHARON STONE has undergone cosmetic surgery to maintain her stunning features. The Oscar-winner, who starred alongside Stone in the 1995 western THE QUICK AND THE DEAD, suggests the BASIC INSTINCT actress should change her name because she looks "like an orang-utan". He says, "A lot seems to have changed. When are you not you any more? At what point do you have to get a name change too? "You can end up looking like a startled chimpanzee. The eyes are gone, the lips are like rubber tyres - or more like an orang-utan that has been kicked in the a**e." Stone, 48, has always denied having cosmetic surgery and she sued leading Los Angeles surgeon RENATO CALABRIA in 2004 after he appeared to tell an American magazine he had given her a face-lift. The case was settled out of court last year (05) when Dr Calabria agreed to provide free surgery for a charity working with children with facial abnormalities. His lawyer KEVIN LEICHTER said, "Dr Calabria did not perform plastic surgery on Ms Stone."

That's hysterical and we can't wait to see what Stone says back!

Sharon Stone just doesn't look bad because of plastic surgery. She has a bad personality of course, but she also doesn't know how to dress. She was photographed at Koi restaurant in Beverly Hills on April 25th. WTF is she wearing here? She's tied a scarf around her neck like a tie and she's wearing all black with ill-fitting leather pants and a crocheted jacket with a fur collar over a see through top. That's just wrong.

Tom Jones' plastic surgeon has cut him off


Tom Jones, who was knighted by Queen Elizabeth last week, has said that his plastic surgeon has told him not to get any more work done.

SIR Tom Jones's face will collapse if he goes under the knife again, his plastic surgeon has warned him.

"He advised me against having anything else done," reveals Sir Tom, in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mirror...

"He told me: 'Your eyes will be bloody popping.' He said I should try to look as natural as I can."

He pulls down his bottom eyelids, revealing how he will look if he succumbs to the surgeon's steel again...

"I've had some nips and tucks," he admits, with a laugh. But now, even with the health warning of one of America's top cosmetic surgeons, he's not convinced he can resist another op or bout of Botox. "I don't know," he muses. "It depends on what I think needs doing."

Jones, 65, also admits to dyeing his jet-black hair and beard, and has a 48 year-old son with shock-white hair.

Jones does all his own moves on stage and works out on a cross trainer an hour a day to stay in shape. He says he loves performing, gets bored if he takes time off, and has no plans to stop.

People speculated that Jones' 49 year-marriage to Linda Woodward was in trouble when he showed up solo for his knighting ceremony. Jones said that his wife doesn't fly after 9/11 and seems to reveal that he has a non-traditional relationship: "Neither of us felt strong enough to walk away from the marriage... There's no need and it works for us and everything's cool."

Jones has a new album, Stoned in Love with DJ Chicane, that is quite catchy and will be out later this month. You can listen to the title track online. (Scroll 3/4 down the page.) It's sure to be a hit.

Star Jones continues to freeload


Star Jones famously got a large portion of her sham wedding ceremony to Al Reynolds comped. Now she doesn't want to pay for stripping-focused exercise lessons, since she's not going to need them anyway:

The large-and-in-charge co-host of "The View" - looking to tighten up after getting a breast lift (with implants) and losing 150 pounds (with gastric bypass surgery) - asked her manager to set up free private lessons at S Factor gym, where owner Sheila Kelley teaches her charges to use a stripper pole. Kelley offered only the first lesson for free, and Jones decided to stick with Equinox. Despite e-mails that show otherwise, a spokesman for Star said it was Kelley who approached her.

Obviously Jones is up to her old tricks and thinks that her dim star power is enough to get her anything she wants. She should just be canned from The View already and become a spokesperson because she doesn't have many career options left.

By all accounts, Jones' return to the View after the health scare she suffered from breast lift surgery was unremarkable. Jones brought some falsies in for her co-hosts, saying she no longer needed them, and admitted that she did have a scare on the operating table. She continued to downplay the threat to her health though and insisted that she was "eating bacon and eggs" the next morning. Jones seemed to get along fine with Joy Behar after their snotty exchange on the phone over the air. The two must have been making a special effort.

Jones was honored by Dress for Success at the Marriot Marquis in NY last night. Dress for Success is a non-profit organization that provides secondhand business attire and interview tips to disadvantaged women. Jones must be considered a wonderful example for women afraid to ask for charity.

Here's Jones in what's probably a borrowed dress at the Dress for Success event last night.

Star Jones-Reynolds with perkier boobs at the Daytime Emmy Nominations Dinner


Star Jones and her surgically improved body attended the Daytime Emmy Nominations Dinner in LA tonight. Star looked foolish in a white tent of a dress that showed off her higher cleavage but covered her fat ass in layers of fabric.

Star seems to be recovering from the health scare she suffered after she lost too much blood and required a transfusion during a breast lift and tummy tuck operation two weeks ago. Star claims that she was not in danger and that the risk to her health was exaggerated, but the NY Daily News unearthed a 911 call from her surgeon's office that suggests her life was at risk.

Star Jones did almost die - she lied

Close up picture of Star and Al looking at a camera with Star's saggy cleavage circled and the caption WTF is wrong with Star's tits?
So The NY Daily News has evidence that Star Jones downplayed the health scare she suffered after her breast lift and tummy tuck two weeks ago. The people at the plastic surgeon's office made an unprecedented call to 911, which suggests that there was something seriously wrong:

"Hi there, this is Dee at the Pacific Surgery Center," a woman's voice is heard alerting the Santa Monica emergency dispatcher. "We have a patient who is on our surgery table, who we cannot stop from bleeding."

Shortly after the frantic 4:56 p.m. call - which was played for Lowdown yesterday by a source who obtained it from the Santa Monica city attorney - an ambulance took Jones from the outpatient surgery center to Saint John's Health Center, a full-service hospital across the street, where she was eventually stabilized.

On Monday's installment of "The View," Jones insisted: "I did not almost die. I'm anemic. ... They gave me the blood, and literally I was fine right afterward."

Jones should have admitted that she was really in danger. Maybe then Joy Behar wouldn't have been so rude and the rest of us would have laid off ripping on her for a day or two. I'm glad she's better, but I still hope she loses her job on The View and has to become a spokesperson for something embarassing.

Howard Stern wears a wig


Howard Stern wears a wig - at least according to a new book coming out by a rival DJ:

"It is alleged that his mane is a wig; that beneath it all, without the hairpiece, Stern looks like a dentist from the Bronx (circa 1945), who sells condoms on the side," claims [Michael Savage of WOR].

XM Radio's Opie and Anthony also dish that they believe Stern has hair plugs.

Obviously these guys have nothing better to do than to speculate about the most successful DJ of all time. Stern's hair does look suspiciously full, but he has always had lots of hair. It wouldn't be that damning to Stern if this is actually true though, considering that he has admitted to having plastic surgery to reconstruct his nose and remove the fat from his chin.

Star Jones gets a breast lift and a tummy tuck

Close up picture of Star and Al looking at a camera with Star's saggy cleavage circled and the caption WTF is wrong with Star's tits?
We first posted the picture above on March 12th. Star must have seen those unflattering pictures of herself at Shaquille O'Neal's birthday party, because she's publicizing the fact that she just had a breast lift and a tummy tuck:

[In Touch] magazine reports that Star, who turns 44 this week, had the operation at the end of last week, but complications put Star into St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica.

In Touch has learned that in addition to having a breast lift, the View host - who has lost 150 pounds over the past two-and-a half years - also had a tummy tuck to remove excess skin.

Her rep, Brad Zeifman, confirms that Star had the breast lift. "She is recovering wonderfully," he says.

Star probably took advantage of the fact that her talk show The View, where she is widely reported to be on the outs, is playing re-runs this week.

It seems like she is confirming plastic surgery to take the heat off reports that she had gastic bypass surgery to lose so much weight recently.

In related news her husband, Al Jones, cut his head and needed stitches after supposedly falling while working out at the gym. We would be surprised if there were witnesses, considering the type of extracurricular activities he is likely to get up to while Star is away.

Update: Star almost died from plastic surgery complications, and we are sorry for suggesting she went public to take the heat off her gastric bypass surgery. She obviously went pubilc because she was gravely ill and had no other choice. Plastic surgery is not to be taken lightly people.

Michael Douglas completes transformation into old curmudgeon


Michael Douglas talks trash about Brad Pitt after leaving his own wife for 25 year-younger Catherine "the Zeta is for cosmetic purposes" Jones. He gets a lot of plastic surgery to stay young-looking in youth-obsessed Hollywood, but decides to say screw it by growing a long beard. He's probably just trying to hide the evidence.

Michael Douglas was at the Bermuda International Film Festival today to receive the "Prospero" award for excellence in film. Bermuda has another reason to kiss Douglas' ass. He has entered into a partnership with Hilton to redo a hotel he owns on the island:

Ariel Sands, the Devonshire cottage colony owned by film star Michael Douglas’s family is going to be razed and rebuilt in a massive $100m makeover.

The actor attended a press conference today, Wednesday, with Tourism Minister Ewart Brown and new partners Hilton Grand Vacations Club to announce the plans, which will see the existing 47-room property transformed into a 214 room oasis...

Representative Bruce Sonneborn Jnr said the project would unfurl in phases. Once completed, it will be the ultimate in luxury living.

Here's Douglas the hotel mogul and grumpy washed-up film star in all his plaid-shirted glory.

Cher is not aging well


It looks like Cher is going for the natural look on day 2 of Fashion Week in LA yesterday. She is wearing soft-hued makeup, but there's nothing natural about her with the amount of plastic surgery she's had done. She should take a page from Christina Aguilera and cake it on.

Two weeks ago Britain's Mirror compared her to Pete Burns as she left an LA Spa with a white face and a shower cap:

In a white face mask and shower cap, Cher looks more like a long-lost cousin of Pete Burns than a sex symbol.

The 59-year-old singer and Oscar-winning actress seems a dead ringer for the outrageous Celebrity Big Brother star as she walks home through a park after spending hours in an exclusive LA spa getting extensive beauty treatment.

One startled onlooker said: "She looked quite scary - like some kind of ghostly apparition."

Cher shouldn't give up now that she's retired. She looks like she's just not trying.

Paris Hilton gets some work done


Paris obviously doesn't want to be photographed as she enters the Modern Institute of Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills. According to the Institute's website they are careful about patient confidentiality and strive for a natural surgery result:

Dr Stanton has always believed in maintaining a high standard for "patient confidentiality..."

Your surgical outcome should result in an improved, natural looking appearance.

The clinic advertises a full range of procedures on their website, including nose jobs, eye lifts, breast jobs, and liposuction. From the looks of the staff, they don't do that good of a job. (Unless that's a guy.)

They also offer non-surgical detoxification and nutritional supplements, and it's possible that Paris was just popping in for some vitamins. Pictures [via] and PopSugar reported this first.

Star Jones and Vivaca A. Fox: the ugly boob twins

Close up picture of Star and Al looking at a camera with Star's saggy cleavage circled and the caption WTF is wrong with Star's tits?
Shaquille O'Neal had his 34th birthday party in Miami on Friday and guess who was there? Big gay Al and Star Jones! Vivaca A Fox also attended and wore a jacket to cover up her capsized boob. Star Jones seemed not to realize that her boobs are sagging down to her waist and made a very unfortunate dress choice. I'm so sorry to inflict this picture on you.

Star has had so much plastic surgery her face looks like an alien. Maybe she can ask Vivaca for the name of a good surgeon to fix her tits too.

The party looks fabulous and seems to have taken place at Shaq's house, from what we remember of his Cribs episode. Live tigers were there and there was a special pampering room for guests.

Other attendees included Fat Joe, Julio Iglesias Jr., Alonzo Mourning, Terrell Owens, Dwyane Wade, James Posey, Tracy McGrady, Udonis Haslem, and Gary Peyton. (Disclosure: I don't follow basketball and my husband is foreign so I don't know who most of these guys are.)

Here's Vivaca, Star and Al. 18 more pictures of the party are after the jump.

Lindsay Lohan wants to show her tits - no kidding

Lindsay Lohan pushing up her hair and wearing sunglasses while walking
Lindsay Lohan told Cosmopolitan magazine that she wouldn't mind being topless if it would get her an Oscar. She doesn't mind being topless if it gets her a little attention, either.

TMZ interviews a plastic surgeon who says that it looks like Lindsay had a breast enhancement and then replaced her implants with smaller versions.

Here are pictures of Lindsay out in Beverly Hills on March 7th. [via]

Update: Lohan to be the new face of Louis Vuitton.

Three more after the jump.

Presley is preserved

Priscilla Presley on a bed with the caption If you buy these sheets, you can bed a washed-up botox victim
Priscilla Presley is promoting her new bedding line. The woman is 61 years old. She doesn't look great, she looks like a mannequin! My mother is 61 and had one tasteful facelift a few years ago. Unlike Presley, her eyes have some wrinkles around them, and her face is capable of making all the regular expressions.

In order to look like this, you have to undergo multiple surgeries and continual maintenance. You also have to be deluded to not realize that you look ridiculous. Presley is a Scientologist so she's perfectly capable of being deluded. If Scientology was opposed to unnecessary plastic surgery as well as medically necessary drugs, they wouldn't have a single celebrity member. [via]
