Kris Jenner Surgery

It's no secret that Kris Jenner wanted to look her best for daughter Kim Kardashian's upcoming wedding in 2011.

So Kris Jenner decided to go under the surgeon's knife and have a facelift ahead of Kim's big day, which was televised on E!.

It has to be mentioned that Kris appeared thrilled with the natural-looking results of the operation.

Talking about the procedure , Kris' surgeon Dr Garth Fisher stated: "To be even more beautiful for Kim's wedding, I performed a Format Face Pinnacle Lift on Kris Jenner.This is a very customised premium quality, natural face rejuvenation procedure designed to freshen up and open the eyes, elevate the cheeks, and provide youthful contours to the jawline and neck."

Fisher added: '"This procedure allows quick healing. She looked gorgeous before of course and looks absolutely stunning now and is very happy with the results."

Kris' daughter Khloe also revealed that Kris had gone under the surgeon's knife, when she told the "New York Daily News" her mother had the operation about '"a month ago."

Khloe claimed: "She looks amazing. They say you are supposed to have a lot of swelling for a week or so after, but I didn't notice."

Video footage of Kris before and after surgery has been published on the E! website.It shows Kris in tears as she sits in the waiting room surrounded by her children.

"I don't want to die," Jenner stated.
Kim soothes her, saying: "Don't be nervous. If you're scared you don't have to do this. I'm sure everyone gets scared."

The children then pile on top of their mother for a group hug before they wave her off to surgery.

 

As she recovered from the operation, Kim assured her the results were already positive.

"Mom, you look fab," she said. "So gorgeous."

Of course, the reality TV family are no strangers to plastic surgery.

Even Kris' husband ,Bruce Jenner, has had several facelifts while her daughter Kourtney has had a breast enlargement.

Kris Jenner may have gotten breast implants, as her cleavage has the look commonly typical after breast augmentation.

According to Miami plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Salzhauer  "Kris Kardashian does appear to have had a breast augmentation as apparent by her breast implant demarcation.   She has little tissue covering the implants so it is easy to recognize."

To conclude, Kris Jenner is rumored to undergo a number of cosmetic surgeries including  rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, and not to mention non invasive procedures such as botox and fillers.

Jenner talking about her plastic surgery procedures on her face insists that  the procedures didn’t affect her face but simply tightened up saggy skin around her neck.

What do you think of Kris Jenner's surgery?

"American Idol" Finalist Needs Surgery Immediately !

Phillip Phillips , one of the finalists on "American Idol", has been urged by his personal doctor to get surgery immediately but Phillip wants to work through the pain and the risk so he can win next week.

According to many "Idol" sources, when Phillip returned home to Georgia last Saturday, his family doctor spent almost the entire stay by his side and was alarmed by what he saw: Phillip wasn't eating and looked horrible.

It has to be noted that Phillip suffers from severe kidney problems and at the beginning of the competition it got so bad he had a stent put in as a temporary fix until he could have surgery. But the condition has worsened and Phillip's doctor told him he needed surgery now. Phillip claimed he was not going to drop out of the show so the doctor told him he certainly had to go under the knife immediately after the finale.

The recovery time for the surgery is at least 6 weeks.
Phillip's condition is taking its toll and the medication results in dry mouth and it's had some impact on his singing.

It has to be mentioned that Phillip has also missed some of the field productions that are shot for the show, including the Ford commercials. According to "Idol" sources, making him go on location for these shoots were just too taxing.

What do you think?

Should Phillip's priority be his health or his stay in "American Idol?

Donna Summer's Friends "Shocked" By Her "Private" Illness !

Donna Summer's death Thursday at age 63 following a 10-month battle with cancer, hit friends, fans and colleagues hard in different ways. Two people who had a close, decades-long relationship with the Disco Queen, her former manager Joyce Trabulus and Trabulus' son (and Summer producer) Evan Bogart, spoke with TODAY's Matt Lauer via satellite from L.A. to share their memories.

Trabulus revealed that while they had once been very close, she was not aware of Summer's illness. "I was very surprised," she stated. "Shocked, really." But, she claimed, she realized why Summer kept her diagnosis quiet. "She was a very private person and wanted to be with her family, and I think she would not have had the opportunity to keep going with all the projects that she was doing. No grass ever grew under Donna's feet."

Bogart knew Summer his entire life and then grew up to work as a producer for some of her music. "It's kind of weird growing up and knowing Donna the legend, Donna the name and Donna the person as a kid," he recalled. "Actually being able to go in the studio and work one-on-one with her ... was magical."

When Summer first became a big star, recalled Trabulus, she was really starting from ground zero: "She was living quite a normal life in Munich when we found her," she said. "She came over as a star, and she had to learn how to do choreography and dance and makeup and everything on the road. She was very brave, and took it all on."

Jennie Garth And Tiffany Thiessen: Former Friends-Now Enemies !

Former Beverly Hills, 90210 stars - and enemies! - Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty recently ended their 20-year war and onset rivalry to forge a surprisingly solid friendship.

And while Garth, 40, and Doherty, 41, have also mended fences with Tori Spelling, things aren't quite so warm between Garth and fellow 90120 gal Tiffany Thiessen.

Joining the cast of the beloved teen soap in 1994 after Doherty's scandal-plagued departure, Thiessen, 38, and Garth quickly became BFFs off-camera-with Garth even tapping Thiessen to be a bridesmaid at her wedding.

But they've since had a falling out according to "Us Weekly".

During a 2009 party, a guest recalls, a stone-faced Garth wouldn't even look at the White Collar actress when Thiessen said "hello".

"Finally, Jennie snapped, "OK? You got me?"," the guest states. "Tiffany looked sheepish and Jennie walked away It was very awkward."

On the other hand, things are much sweeter with Garth, Doherty and Spelling these days, with Garth even leaning on Spelling, 38, in the wake of her painful divorce from husband Peter Facinelli.

"It's like high school friends that you fought with but now love," another source claims. "They're a big part of your past!"

What do you think it might have happened between Garth and Thiessen?

Bono: "Facebook Won't Push Me Into The #1 Spot"

It appears that Paul McCartney's title as world's richest entertainer is secure because Bono states his stake in Facebook will not push him into the number one spot.

 

It has to be noted that Bono was in D.C. this morning to attend a fundraiser for President Obama when a "Washington Times" photog asked about reports that the U2 frontman's $90 million investment into Mark Zuckerberg's social network will be worth $1.5 billion by the end of the day making him the richest rocker on Earth.

It's been widely reported that Bono's investment company, Elevation Partners, bought up 2.3% of the company in 2009.

But Bono didn't seem too stoked about it . In fact, he cast doubt on the entire story.

Obama Divorce Story: Is It Real ?

Obama's divorce story hit the internet on Thursday.

Apparently Barack and his wife, Michelle, were on the brink of a divorce back in 2000 according to a new biography written by author, Edward Klein.

According to Klein, Mr. and Mrs. Obama were at odds after the election for Chicago House of Representatives. Barack did not win the election though warned in advance by his wife. The strain that the election and the aftermath placed on Barack and Michelle's marriage was said to be significant enough to break their bond. However, the story may or may not be true.

"Ed Klein has a proven history of reckless fabrication in order to sell books. Nobody in their right mind would believe the nonsense in this one," stated Eric Schultz, a rep for the President (via Huffington Post).  

The Obama divorce story is getting a lot of attention today. 

Since this isn't the first time that rumors of a troubled marriage have hit the White House, many are wondering if there have been ripples in Barack and Michelle's marriage over the past 20 years. It appears as though every marriage has its fair share of ups and downs, but when a pair discusses about split, the dynamic of the relationship can alter.

 Whenever Mr. and Mrs. President are together, they seem more in love than the day before but that could be the reason that their almost splits in the past have made them stronger moving toward the future...

Tatum O'Neal's Cocaine Relapse Estranged Her From Family And Friends !

Tatum O'Neal's ongoing drug addiction has her estranged from her children, family and friends and her inner-circle is extremely concerned for her well-being.

Meanwhile, Tatum and her brother Redmond are slamming their father’s new memoir:"Both Of Us: My Life With Farrah", because it’s not a sincere account of their tumultuous relationship and just promotes what they describe as "Ryan's self-serving narcissistic tendencies," according to a source.

"Since Tatum has been out of rehab she has been absolutely estranged from most of her family, including her children and her father," a source close to family reveals.

"Her family and friends are very concerned about her well-being and they fear for her. She has developed an addiction to prescription pills. Tatum didn't spend "Mother's Day" with her children, and she truly is her own worst enemy right now," the source added.

It has to be noted that Ryan's only daughter recently went back to rehab after a full blown cocaine relapse. Tatum has battled an addiction to drugs for most of her adult life.

Redmond is also currently in rehab in Southern California for an addiction to heroin.

Ryan previously allowed Tatum to move in with last year because she had nowhere else to go, but it didn't do either of them any good.

"Tatum has been in dire financial straits for a long time and doesn't have a real source of income because she hasn't worked in ages. Ryan really tried to give Tatum space at his beach house in Malibu, but the two of them living under one roof just proved to be too much," the insider claimed.

"The problem is that they are both very much alike and they fought constantly, especially about their failed reality show. Ryan ended up kicking her out after about a month and that was shortly after Christmas, around the time that she relapsed and entered treatment again."

What a tragedy...It's no coincidence that Tatum and Redmond can't battle their drug addiction. Ryan is not supportive at all to any of them. It's very cruel to kick Tatum, knowing that she is very vulnerable and fragile, out of his home just because they have failed in their reality show. Ryan should not treat his children as business! The only thing he achieves is to make them hate him and as a result of the pain he causes them, they feel guilty and self-sabotage themselves by drug abuse. It sounds like a vicious cirle of a living hell!

Donna Summer: Gay Groups Against Her In The 80's

Summer's born-again Christian beliefs made her the target of gay advocacy groups in the '80s. She was reported to have made some anti-gay statements and controversial remarks about AIDS during several of her concerts. Some concertgoers reported Summer saying: "It was Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve." Many of her gay fans, who made up a large portion of her fan base, were livid.

Summer denied making the statements. However, Summer later issued something of an apology. In a statement, Donna claimed: "As a Christian, I have nothing but love for everyone and I recognize it is not my place to judge others."

Donna Summer's "Love To Love You Baby": The Backstory

Donna Summer, the Queen of Disco , became an icon in the 1970s, when disco music was all the rage. Even after disco was declared dead, Summer adapted to a changing musical environment and found pop success. Her string of hits included "Hot Stuff," "Last Dance," and "She Works Hard For The Money." However, of all her hits, "Love To Love You Baby" might have the most interesting backstory.

Around 17 minutes long, the epic track, produced by synth pioneer Giorgio Moroder, features sparse lyrics and suggestive moans. The lyrics go as follows: "When you're laying so close to me/ There's no place I'd rather you be than with me/ I love to love you, baby/ Do it to me again and again/ You put me in such a awful spin, in a spin."

By today's standards, those lyrics are almost Disney-worthy, but when the song hit the radio in 1975, it caused quite a stir. Some critics called it "obscene". TIME magazine called it "a marathon of 22 orgasms." Perhaps due to the controversy, the tune was a huge hit.

When Summer became a born-again Christian in the 1980s, she stopped performing the song at concerts, perhaps due to its suggestive themes. However, last year, the tune was remixed for a fragrance ad, according to People magazine.

Donna Summer:"Inhaling Toxic Air After 9/11 Gave Me Cancer"

Donna Summer was convinced inhaling toxic air after 9/11 gave her the lung cancer that eventually killed her.

Sources close to Summer state that Donna was in New York City during 9/11, living at an apartment near Ground Zero.

Donna became almost paranoid about breathing the air, which was heavy with a rancid odor. 

In the months and years following 9/11, Donna's feelings intensified.  One source reveals when he was around Donna, she would constantly spray some sort of disinfectant in the air.  Deney Terrio, the host of "Dance Fever," claims when he was around Donna post 9/11, she would hang silk sheets in her dressing room to prevent dust from coming in.

And one source declares that Donna, who was a fervent practicing Christian, believed 9/11 was an attack on Christianity and in some metaphysical way Christians like her were targets.  She somehow felt that her illness was a byproduct of the attack.

According to reports after Donna was diagnosed with lung cancer, several people told her that cigarette smoke may have been the culprit - she was a smoker and she also frequented clubs where people smoked. On the other hand, Donna simply didn't buy it.
