Lisa Rinna is “disturbed” by Heidi Montag’s plastic face

wenn5381891

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 SurgeryPeople 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?”

“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!

    Somewhere in the world, a pot and a kettle are having an argument.

  2. guesty says:

    lisa really should not be commenting on this at all!

  3. Shelly says:

    Dingles, you beat me to it! LOL I was going to say, “Pot, meet Kettle.”

    I used to think that Lisa was gorgeous. Not so much anymore; I can’t get past her lips.

  4. wif says:

    I actually think that there are some differences between the work Rhinna and Montag have had done. Rhinna’s surgery (IMO) has been to keep her youth, whereas Montag is completely altering her looks within while still in her youth. I find her looks a great deal funnier than Rhinna’s.

    And I don’t find it at all hypocrytical of Rhinna to be protecting her daughters from the images on magazines (although I would ask, why even bring them in the house then?). Rhinna is doing what she needs to to stay semi-relevant in her industry. If the girls are interested in going into a different line of work then they shouldn’t have to be bombarded with the “everyone must be beautiful, here buy our product” schtick.

  5. Icecat says:

    HaHa – Very funny.

    Everyone beat me to it! I was going to say: Roid lips meet Kettle!

  6. Snarf says:

    Hello, Pot? We have Kettle on line two for you…

  7. Neelyo says:

    I think Hamlin’s point is that an idiot mutilating themselves on purpose isn’t really newsworthy.

    Is that gauze on the lens in the first picture or is Rinna sporting a gray five o’clock shadow.

  8. embertine says:

    I’m not sure Heidi looks as weird as Lisa yet; of course, as she ages and all the scar tissue shifts she will look as much like Frankenstein’s monster as Ms Rinna does. Heidi just looks like pornstar!Barbie.

  9. canadianchick says:

    @dingles and @snarf-hilarious!

  10. Eden says:

    I agree with you Wif.. different underlying mentalitys when you look at the whole picture. Lisa Rinna still looks like herself at the end of the day, just a more “enhanced”, youthful self and trying to hold onto her youth and beauty seems to be the reason..join the club. Heidi is young girl and was looking to completely alter what she was and morph into an image of herself she, and society have created out of a distorted image of beauty..her behavior seems to come from a much deeper layer of self rejection and hatred. With all of Heidi’s enhancements she seems to have gotten smaller as a person. Like it weakened her at the deepest levels. Overblown exclamations of confidence aside, she isn’t fooling anyone. Her dramatic personality comes across as unstable and immature. Lisa Rinna is a big personality and seems confident and appears to be a stable person…not weakened by her attempts to conform to societal beauty and youth trends.
    Not a “pot, kettle” appropriate pairing…. Funny, but not accurate, in my opinion.

  11. lem says:

    honestly heidi’s face wouldn’t bother me if it weren’t for the eyebrow lift… its looks freakish on her.

  12. teehee says:

    Heidi just looks terrible now, and Im not just trying to be nasty. Really when I see hern ow, she just looks bad! She was better before, any time before this 10 procedures stuff. And shes only gonna get worse and spiral…

  13. dee says:

    thats too funny coming from Lisa Rinna, considering she has the most hideously, ballooned fake lips in hollywood. I dont know why these celebs attempt the lip area at all. It never looks natural and you can spot it as soon as you see it. Im usually so distracted by the puff lip jobs that i cant even watch whatever they’re doing.
    Oh how these Mr.Limpet lipped celebs crack me up..lolz

  14. Alecto says:

    wif, eden,

    Lisa has had the hemroid lips since she was young. I remember when she first came on Days of Our Lives as Billie and I kept wondering wtf was up with her lips. This was back in the early or mid 90’s.

  15. Eileen Yover says:

    Heidi’s issues are far deeper than plastic surgery. Anyone who would undergo that many procedures at such a young age obviously hates who she is on the inside as well. And no amount of plastic is going to fix that. She’ll be having a complete breakdown any day now. And I’m sure she’ll be looking forward to it as it will land in her more headlines.

    @Neelyo:

    “I think Hamlin’s point is that an idiot mutilating themselves on purpose isn’t really newsworthy.”

    I agree, he’s saying that’s WHY she was on the cover.

    And yeah, Rinna’s setting a great example for her daughters, right.

    “Mommy’s vain and selfish and pays a fortune to be cut up.”

    It isn’t a matter of degrees of plastic surgery or whether the surgery looks good after all the healing is done. It’s the fact that someone would do that to themselves in the first place. GROSS.

    this coming from a woman who has two vienna sausages implanted in her mouth.

  18. scorpiogal says:

    First of all, ITA with everyone above. Pot & kettle! Second, if she’s not comfortable with the covers of these magazines, she shouldn’t be bringing them into the house period. It’s not like the contents are any better. I love my celebrity gossip, but my daughter sure as hell isn’t being exposed to this crap.

  19. gg says:

    Shut up, Labia Majora.

  20. lena says:

    i think lisa lips have always been on the larger size, but i think she has done stuff to them

  21. Sumodo1 says:

    Look, I’m SURE Lisa Rinna regrets what she did years ago–having her top lip flipped over and stitched tight (Pam Anderson seems to have had the same surgery as did Loretta Swit). But, sometimes, it doesn’t matter that she looks like she has liver for lips. That’s because Lisa has a big personality and makes the most of herself. She makes the most of her C-list status. She was unbelievable on DWTS. Lisa also does a lot of charity stuff with Harry and they seem to have a real marriage and care deeply for each other and the children. Heidi Montag, sadly, has none of that, and has a mom who disapproves of what she did to herself. And, Heidi will have to live with that. And, as other posters have mentioned, age and scar tissue means more and more surgery. At least, Lisa isn’t a navel-gazer like Heidi.

  22. clare says:

    I thought the old Heidi looked just fine. At least there was a spark of life in her face then.
    Even Spenser look like he’s had work.
    Sad people.

  23. Theresa says:

    I think the media seek out stars that will put their feet in their mouths and purposely create the hypocrisy in order to stir the pot. Of course Lisa Rinna has had procedures and any comment she makes will appear hypocritical and therefore spin the story out longer than is necessary. However, it doesn’t matter who is commenting, Heidi’s actions to me are indefensible; no one should condone it, no one should accept it and certainly no one should encourage any young woman to follow in her footsteps. SO good for Lisa for taking SOME measures to protect her children.

  24. Ruffian9 says:

    It’s already been mentioned a few times, but I think it bears repeating. Pot, meet kettle.

  25. Rianna says:

    They both have a severe case of duck face.

  26. Popcorny says:

    I don’t see it as hypocrisy at all, I see what she’s saying as coming from experience -and better/new awareness (how it reflects on young girls).

  27. Allie says:

    Is it me, or is she looking more and more like Kris Jenner?

  28. Sami says:

    I would’ve died to look like the old Heidi Montag, before any surgery, the hair color, and before Mr. Pratt’s influence. Now, if I looked in the mirror and saw what she looks like now… I would die.

  29. Johnthing says:

    she still so ugly!

  30. Zebra Hat says:

    I think Lisa Rinna’s lips look more like a prolapsed anus. And if she doesn’t want her kids to get caught up in all that looks-based crap, then she needs to set a good example for them and not get HERSELF caught up in it! I know that my mother and her actions were far more influential on me than some Z-list celebtards, so maybe Lisa should take that into consideration??
