Hollywood is full of celebrities who seem preternaturally preserved. Despite careers that are based on the ability to emote, many of today’s famous actresses haven’t been able to pull off a facial expression since the Clinton administration. But stars who think that “aging gracefully” involves BOTOX® injections and a constant look of mild surprise are not the only people in Hollywood going under the knife. Many young actresses and singers who once turned their noses up at plastic surgery are now opting to modify said noses.
Both Cameron Diaz and Ashlee Simpson reportedly had changes of heart concerning plastic surgery, in spite of the fact that they had repeatedly spoken out against it in the past. In fact, mere weeks before Ashlee underwent nose surgery (and if you believe some celebrity gossipers, chin reduction and lip injections), she was featured in an article in Marie Claire encouraging girls to accept body flaws and love themselves. Her dramatic transformation following that article led to criticism from fans. Cameron Diaz, who has broken her nose four times and used to boast that she loved it more each time she broke it, supposedly got a nose job to correct breathing problems. Perhaps these lovely ladies should’ve listened to Ashlee’s 2006 album “Who I Am” and figured it out before they blabbed their views on self acceptance to the press.
