Cynthia Nixon hits back at boob job suggestion


Cynthia Nixon has hit out at reports that she had a boob job last week – instead pointing out that she was actually going in for a check to make sure her cancer had not returned.

“I was at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital for my ‘three-monthly’ checkup,” said Nixon, a breast-cancer survivor. “I was in the Oncology Department. I guess they think that means ‘plastic surgery.'” Badum-bump!

“We got a call from [the Post] asking if I’d had breast augmentation, and my publicist laughed at them and said, ‘No, of course not.’ But they printed it anyway. If I was going to get a boob job, wouldn’t it make sense that I’d get it before ‘Sex and the City’?” Ba-dump!

Cynthia adds that her lumpectomy did not warrant reconstructive surgery.

I’m really starting to wonder if hospitals should have some kind of protection services for celebrities, particularly following the leaks from UCLA about Farrah Fawcett’s cancer treatment and Britney’s breakdown. I’ve been to hospital twice recently and I was not receiving treatment either time, but if I was a celebrity I would be either pregnant or having plastic surgery. Considering that Cynthia Nixon has spoken about her cancer previously I think it was wrong to suggest that she was having a breast augmentation.

The Sydney Morning Herald today has a an article questioning whether the photography of newsworthy figures – not only celebrities but also other public figures such as politicians or murderers – should be considered part of the freedom of the press. It asks what balance needs to be made between public interest, profit and news.

Cynthia Nixon is shown at the Susan G. Komen National Race for the Cure event at the Newseum in
Washington DC on 6/6/08, thanks to WENN.

    Everyone is entitled to privacy regarding their health care. Isn’t that what HIPAA is all about?

    Yeah, think this crossed lines big time. Particularly when she was so open about her breast cancer in the first place.
