1997: Anna Nicole Smith was rushed to the emergency room at UCLA Medical Center when her mammoth implants swelled up from an infection and threatened to explode. Just months after this episode she returned in agony with another potential explosion but disaster was averted with quick medical treatment.

Another gem from 2002: Jack Nicholson wasn't thrilled with his girlfriend Lara Flynn Boyle's new and improved lips. Lara had her lips plumped with collagen and she's so pleased with the new pouty look that she's keeping them that way. Jack thought she looked perfectly fine before and gripes that "Her g------ lips feel like wax!" Too bad says Lara - she's telling pals that if Jack doesn't like her lips then he can kiss her a-- instead! So there.

Also in 2001 - it looked like Wacko Jacko has a wacko plastic surgeon! The man responsible for most of Michael Jackson's cosmetic procedures, Steven Hoefflin, has published a book claiming that he can reverse paralysis and Alzheimers with the help of family and friends of the victim. The ghoulish book cover features Hoefflin holding a human brain in his hand. The doctor paid to publish the book himself and he's shopping around for a publisher. We can't help but wonder if Michael's degenerating nose might cause people to regard the book with suspicion.
