Lisa Rinna Lips

Lisa Rinna lip augmentation plastic surgery.

I imagine many of you are wondering, what in the world happened to Lisa Rinna's lips?

Well to make a long story short, its the result of a silicone lip implant she had done several years ago, which later developed quite a bit of scar tissue, thus causing her current inflated looking lips.

While making an appearance on the Today Show, she spoke about her lips saying “I went out and had silicone put in my top lip 23 years ago. Period, end of story. I had a small top lip, my girlfriend and I went and did it together after seeing Barbara Hershey in "Beaches,… but what happens is, after years and years, you form some scar tissue."


And that's the story behind Lisa Rinna's big lips, but stay tuned for the rest of her plastic surgery history, which we will feature in an upcoming article.

Lynn Whitfield Facelift

Lynn Whitfield is an outstanding celebrity actress, who as had roles in great movies such as Eve's Bayou and The Josephine Baker Story.

Over fifty years old and still looking fantastic, but has she had some help from the local plastic surgeon?

You gotta admit, her face seems to be pulled rather tight in these before and after pictures, perhaps the result of a minor facelift, or simply botox injections.

Its difficult to say for sure, but i have a good hunch on this one.

Mariah Carey Blames Her Bizarre People’s Choice Awards Acceptance Speech For Champagne

People's Choice Awards 2010 - Show

Mariah Carey accepted the Favorite R&B Artist at the 2010 People’s Choice Awards held at Nokia Theatre L.A. last night (January 6).

The 40-year-old singer took the opportunity to explain her previous day’s bizarre acceptance speech at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. She said the drunk speech was due to enjoying some champagne with Precious director Lee Daniels.

We’d been sitting there celebrating this whole time, having little splashes, I hadn’t eaten, I pulled up, I didn’t want to be late so I rushed in, and that’s what it was.” the diva explained.

If people don’t understand me and just think I’m this girl that stands by a microphone and sings ‘Hero,’ then they’re definitely not going to get me,” she added.

Rick Springfield Brow Lift

Rick Springfield sure is looking awfully different these days..

Just to refresh your memory, Mr. Springfield is the 1980's rocker with the smash hit song "Jessie's Girl", for which he won a Grammy award.

Back to Rick's face...

The drastic change in his current appearance looks to be the result of a brow lift and perhaps a minor nose job as well.

I think many of us try an imagine what our favorite rock stars will look like with age, unfortunately in many cases we'll never know, because plastic surgery is king in all avenues of show business.

Thai Hatyai Bird Nest Soup (7Ps)

A few years ago,I met a professor from the food science department in a university from China and asked her something about the swiftlets bird nests products promoted in the market.

She told me although she couldn't say bird nests had no nutrition value but 100% sure that it must have been wildly exaggerated by the companies which produce the associated products or the salespersons who sell them.

Since then, I was no a believer in the products of Bird Nests. However, it is a huge industry in Southeast Asia where Indonesia, Malaysia & Thailand are all major players.

Last February when traveling to Southern Thailand's Hatyai the city is famous for bird nests, I tried my luck for the first time at a specialty products shop. As shown in the photo above, such a bowl of bird nest soup cost me a whopping 450Baht, or ~12 US dollars. Truly speaking, my feel was that the much-hyped bird nest soup is not even better than the sweet white fungus soup. So, no big deal!


Now I thought that Chinese professor could be right, read excerpts from madsci.org which was answering a reader's question What are nutrition values of bird's nest of oriental Collocalia sp.?
Chemical analyses by Massimo Marcone of the University of Guelph found that this bird's nest soup contains a protein similar to one found in eggs. He has found that this can lead to allergies. In fact, in Singapore, birds's nest soup is the leading cause of food allergies!

What you must realize is that this soup is simply hardened bird spit. Saliva is not nutritious, and bird's nest soup is no exception. It does contain some enzymes, salts, and mostly water. The saliva also contains some natural type of antibiotic. There is some research to see if the saliva can be used to control cell division. However, there really is no scientific evidence to justify any nutritional or health claims made for it.

In fact, it can be downright dangerous, as environmental contamination has turned up in bird's nest soup in Vietnam from arsenic. A Vietnamese man was poisoned from arsenic intoxication after consuming bird's nest soup! This was written up in the American Journal of Medical Sciences in April, 1999.


Oh, I probably would never buy expensive bird nests products again!

Vince Neil Facelift

Vince Neil before and after plastic surgery.

As you may remember, Vince Neil is the lead singer of that legendary rock band, Mötley Crüe.

Countless years of partying and living life on the road can obviously take its toll on the body, both mentally and physically. And its certainly that kind of lifestyle that aged rocker Vince Neil, so prematurely.

A few years ago, Vince thought it was time to try and restore his once good looks, and instead of investing his time and money into health and fitness, he choose slice and dice.


That's right kids, Vince Neil choose plastic surgery, and a very public facelift it was, airing portions of it on his short lived reality show titled "The Remaking of Vince Neil".

If you ask me, the guy just needed to lose a few pounds and change his diet, that alone could have knocked 7 years off his face.
