More than two years ago, Madonna had some really horrible, ill-advised plastic surgery on her face. Some suggested that she had some kind of chicken-cutlet cheek implants put into her face. Some suggested that she had undergone a procedure known as a “ribbon lift”. Back in 2009, a British plastic surgeon explained the “ribbon lift” procedure, which sounded really gross. It involves “a dissolvable ribbon implant to lift neck tissues through a short incision around the earlobe. It takes around two months for the ribbon to be absorbed and the results last around three years.” Also: the plastic surgeon says that a small tube is “tunnelled under the skin and has lots of tiny hooks that attach to the muscle and tissue. We then pull it upwards to lift the whole area. It doesn’t appear as if the ribbon has dissolved properly [in Madonna’s case].”
The whole idea that this is something temporary, or that it could “go down” or “adjust” is very interesting to me, especially as I see these new photos of Madonna, out and about in London on Saturday night for her 52nd birthday. Her face looks… better, right? Like it’s slowly deflating. Like she didn’t jack it up with chicken cutlets. Sure, she still looks worked on, but I have a new hope that the cheek stuff is either settling in and calming down, or that Madonna had part of it reversed, or something like that. Or is this simply a good angle and some good lighting? British reports had Madonna spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on additional surgery for her birthday, so could this be it?
Here’s Madge in July 2008:
Yeah. Something is definitely better, in my opinion. And it’s not just the lighting and makeup. Anyway, happy birthday, Madge!
Speaking of plastic surgery, what the f-ck is going on with Jenny McCarthy? This is Jenny last night in Las Vegas… YIKES.

The National Enquirer is reporting that Jenny McCarthy is about to get her own talkshow produced and heavily promoted by Oprah’s company, Harpo. It’s unclear whether the new show will be syndicated on network television as Oprah moves to her OWN network, or if it will join Oprah on OWN. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard this story, The Hollywood Reporter claimed in May, 2009, that McCarthy had already signed “a multi-year overall deal with Winfrey’s Harpo Prods. to develop projects on different platforms, including a syndicated talk show that the actress/author would host.” Jenny’s earnings will reportedly start at $3-5 million per year, with potentially more if the show is popular.
Jenny McCarthy is going to be the new Oprah!
At least that’s what Oprah believes. Jenny, a former “Playboy” model-turned-actress, has been handpicked by the queen of daytime TV to take over as the No. 1 talk-show host.
With her September 2011 last show growing closer, Oprah is putting all her influence and a boatload of money behind her effort to launch Jenny’s show.
“Oprah believes that Jenny is an A-list talk-show host - relatable, passionate and adept at drawing in people from all backgrounds. Best of all, she’s a natural comedian with a warm, funny delivery,” revealed an insider.
“Jenny is also a single mom whose public enthusiasm and dedication to her autistic son has impacted America’s growing population of struggling single parents, and this is a niche that no current talk-show host has…”
It has not yet been determined whether Jenny’s new show will air on the Oprah Winfrey Network, which Oprah plans to launch next year. Jenny’s starting salary is expected to be in the $3-5 million range for 26 shows plus a development deal,” and if ratings are as high as Oprah is expecting, Jenny’s salary will skyrocket,” adds the insider.

So will Jenny be the new Oprah? I guess it depends on if the public embraces her. Oprah progeny Dr. Phil, Rachel Ray and Dr. Oz have done very well for themselves and soon Oprah’s go-to designer, Nate Berkus, will have his own show. You can image that Jenny will be successful since she’s funny and warm without being a goody two-shoes. I like her and have found her entertaining and passionate in interviews. She does have a lot of controversial opinions about autism and has drawn ire from parents and the medical community for advocating unproven treatments. Oprah has also been called out for similarly promoting potential quackery on her show so Jenny’s unconventional medical advice isn’t likely to be an issue for her. Jenny has her detractors, though, and like Oprah she can be polarizing.
