Jay Manuel Nose job

Canadian American make-up artist Jay Manuel, best known for being the director of photo shoots on the popular reality television show "America's Next Top Model", is rumored to have had a nose job to improve his looks.

Manuel's nose is more refined, much more narrow and straighter, an indication of a nose job.

Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon and Rhinoplasty Specialist in Beverly Hills, California, Dr. Paul S. Nassif was quoted as saying: "It is apparent that Jay Manuel had rhinoplasty performed at some point. His results appear slightly artificial, as his nasal bridge appears a bit too perfect and at a first glance it is clear he has had the rhinoplasty surgery. The surgery was not too overdone, but it is possible for a more natural result to be achieved."
 

Miami plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Salzhauer explained: "Jay Manuel definitely reshaped his nose with a Rhinolasty. His nose is much more narrow and straighter. It has a very defined shape and matches the rest of his very defined look and style."

Kathy Griffin Plastic Surgery

American actress and comedian Kathy Griffin has reportedly had plastic surgery to improve her image.


Griffin, 52, has admitted to having numerous plastic surgery operations such as a nose job, several liposuction procedures, a brow lift, chemical skin peels, cosmetic dental implants and she's even had her hair straightened.

Griffin is very candid when it comes to plastic surgery. In her own words: "That's the tragedy about female comedians. We still want to be pretty and girls." Griffin claimed that while wanted to change the way she appeared, it was also a necessity for her acting career. She went further saying: "Stars that aren't nipped and tucked tend to get cast as great grandmothers next to a younger, brighter cast with all of their plastic surgery points in order".

Trying to secure an agent in Hollywood, Griffin decided to get a nose job at the age of 26.

On the other hand, Griffin pointed out that the plastic surgery procedures can be terrifying and for many of them you have to stay awake, which can be disconcerting all in its own right.


"The recuperation period can also be draining as well as painful as your body tries to adjust to what it went through and you have to learn to deal with the results of your plastic surgery," Griffin noted.

While Griffin stated that she'd do it all again (though she might skip the inexpert first doctors if she had the choice to do so), she is far from a plastic surgery role model; except, that is, for the fact that she doesn't play coy about what she's done.

When Redbook magazine asked her for its July 1 issue: "How do you deal with missteps on the way to fame?" Griffin replied: "Admit what you've done. Did I have plastic surgery five years ago? Yes, obviously! Just be honest".

Starring in the Emmy-winning "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List" on the Bravo network, she suffered serious side effects from liposuction in 1999.

Griffin described the problematic 1999 operation to People magazine: "I had lipo from my waist down - my stomach, thighs and the inside of my knees. The idea was to look like Jennifer Aniston. It didn't work out at all. When I woke up I was not able to pee. I got toxicity and had to go to the emergency room and wear a catheter for a week. It was life-threatening, and the results were nonexistent."

"Back then I swore I would never get lipo again…But I work in an industry where if you don't get a little nip and tuck, a lady of my age is going to end up playing Katie Holmes's great-grandmother in the Dawson's Creek reunion," Griffin claimed.

Thankfully Griffin chose more experienced doctors for the second round of plastic surgery operations in 2003. She revealed to EW.com: "The doctor who did my lipo the first time was a total idiot. He was really an eye guy, and that was the problem. But the doctors who did me this time around were good. And honestly, I didn't do as much as I did the first time around. I know it sounds like a lot, but it really boils down to a brow lift and teeth veneers. I did get a skin peel that was really major, but it's not like it hurts to get my hair straightened".

In contrast to that description, the interview she gave to People magazine in 2003 made clear that the procedures were painful and extensive - and that she's still conflicted:

"I had my nose done because it was a little big. Unfortunately I think it looks exactly the same. I'm Irish, and I have the bad Irish teeth. So I went to a dentist and asked for soap-opera teeth. While they're making your new teeth, they have to whittle your own down to pegs. I looked like a turn-of-the-century prostitute. He gave me some temporary teeth, but one fell out when I was on the Jimmy Kimmel show. I gave it to Jimmy. That was brutal".

"A few days later I had lipo on my upper arms and flanks, which is kind of your kidney area. I don't know why I did it, because it's not like I'm running around in those Britney Spears pants - my flanks are pretty much covered all day. But my arms were total car-pool-mom arms, and I wanted Angelina Jolie arms. I thought about going to awards shows in a beautiful, strappy dress," Griffin was quoted as saying.

"I went to a doctor who for safety reasons refuses to do lipo with general anesthesia. So you're awake and shaking while they poke a big knitting needle in you. It's horrible. But everything is covered so you can't look over and say: "Get that vacuum out of me!" Later that day I got the brow lift so I wouldn't have skin hanging over my eyelids, and the facial peel, where they use acid to smooth your lines. Those were under anesthesia," Griffin continued. 

"By the third day I was so swollen my eyebrows were basically at my hairline. Then the peel kicked in. It was like the worst sunburn I ever had. I cried constantly. The burns were so itchy it felt like bugs crawling on my face. There was nothing about me that wasn't disgusting…You have to buy into the fact that you're going to look really scary and it's going to be painful. You've got a week of hell coming no matter how you slice it.The lipo's painful. I couldn't lift my arm all the way up for three weeks. As for my flanks, if there's a difference, I can notice it only when I'm naked. I wouldn't do it again," Griffin added.

Despite the pain and the disappointment with the lipo and nose job, Kathy is mostly positive about the plastic surgery results.




"I feel good. The peel really took away a lot of lines under my eyes. I love the teeth. And I love the brow - my eyes are a little bit more open," Kathy admitted.

It has to be noted that Griffin tries to reassure her parents about future plastic surgery, but she admits to People she'll keep nipping and tucking: "My parents are like: "Promise us this is the last one." I said: "Unless I grow a new head, I've run out of things to do." I'm sure I'll do stuff for the rest of my life, but I'm done for a while".




Griffin revealed to Oprah Winfrey that she doesn't "mind a little Botox now and then," but she's staying away from liposuction. "I have new eyebrows, new eyes, new skin, new teeth… I'm working on the new personality."

In an interview for Fitness magazine Griffin revealed: "I've been off the junk, as I call it, for five years."




"I've had a face lift, eye job and all that stuff five years ago. What I found, though, was that it didn't help me one bit. It didn't get me happier or didn't make me look particularly younger," Griffin admitted.

"I spent 20 years of my life obsessing about 10, 15 pounds, and what I found as a comedian …is that nobody expected me to come out in a bikini anyway. I've never lost a job because of my weight, and I've certainly never gotten a job because of my cosmetic surgery or my weight. "I'll say to my younger friends: "C'mon, I have a hot body, right?" I mean, not a hot body Hollywood-style…but it's hot for 47. So that's my new thing - I like my body now. For 47, it's pretty darn good. I've come to terms with the fact that I'm never going to be Jennifer Aniston," Griffin stated.

In her book "Official Book Club Selection: A Memoir According to Kathy Griffin," Griffin told: "What I can't figure out is why I wasted time worrying about my looks. I am a comedian. I'm not on the runway in Milan".




"Believe it or not, people don't come to see me really thinking I'm going to look like Jennifer Aniston."

"I was told repeatedly: "You would be pretty if it weren't for that nose. You'd work more if it weren't for that nose. Hey have you considered getting a nose job?" You would think I had a nose the size of Texas. I was young and impressionable and I was told that enough that I started to believe it, so I got a nose job."

Griffin then emphasized on her weight and would take back-to-back step aerobics classes, starve herself all day and then binge at night.





She took diet pills and admitted to turning to street drugs, too.

"I am very proud of my two weeks on speed. It was full-on illegal speed. I took it to lose weight, which is not very smart. I just felt more hungry afterwards," Griffin was quoted as saying.


When Kathy got her big break on Brooke Shields sitcom "Suddenly Susan", she felt a huge pressure to be thinner.

"I lost 15 lbs. friggin' fast in season 1. But being on television…I was never thin enough. (Being on TV) told me that clothes didn't come in anything larger than a four. That got to me," Griffin confessed.


Celebrity plastic surgeon in New York City Dr. David Shafer stated: "I think Kathy Griffin would be helped considerably by some Botox Cosmetic and a lower lid blepharoplasty to smooth the skin around her eyes."

Conclusion: After all the plastic surgery procedures, Kathy Griffin doesn't look like her former self but surprisingly has aged very well with the help of plastic surgery.

Andrew Lloyd Webber Quotes

1. I have lived and worked in Britain all my life. Not even in the dark days of penal Labour taxation in the Seventies did I have any intention of leaving the country of my birth. Despite a rumor put around some years back, I have never contemplated leaving Britain for tax reasons.


2. We felt we had to know something of his back story. I don't think people in the cinema would just accept that he's there. I think we had to learn how he (got there).

3. I've got to find something and if I find something that I like, I'll do it. If I don't, I won't.





4. (about Emmy Rossum) She is a wonderfully pure soprano, with an exceptional range. But more than this she also brings real character into the voice - so rare for her age.

5. Well the least favorite question is the one that one's asked particularly about in Japan is what's the difference between theatre and cinema and I think, well, that's about eighty bucks.


6. Because her voice is, it's like the muscles and it develops all the time. That was the fantastic thing for us.

7. Well we'd just seen Gerry. I think he wanted somebody who had that authority and was handsome. The thing is, he's a big hunk isn't he? All I can say, if you look at his chat line, or the Phantom website, it's quite worrying. Because the girls really seem to love him.

8. It doesn't stand up to huge intellectual scrutiny.

9. There is a recommendation that schools spend a certain amount of time teaching music but it really depends on whether the teachers believe in it. In some primary and secondary schools there is no musical provision at all but other well-resourced schools have plenty.

10. When we finally came to start work on this, the joy was it was only Joel and I, we didn't have to answer to anybody, and we didn't have to submit a screen play or anything like that. We just wrote it and then made it.

11. I'm a composer and therefore I know when I've written a good tune. When you've written a good song is when you know that the lyric is completely coalesced with the song. Sometimes I think I've written melodies that may have got a bit buried because maybe the lyric hasn't worked with the song. Sometimes, actually, it's the other way around. When you're writing for musical theatre the story comes first. If the story's right then the songs will probably come right.

12. If you're a composer you do want to know how people are reacting to it but at the same time, of course, the performer is the most important thing.


13. Superstar was made so early in my career I had nothing to do with it at all. The first time I saw it was the opening screening.

14. More than ever before we need to keep high-flying professionals in the UK. We can't, as we have done in the past, dump on them through penal personal taxation. Of course we know that there have been some shocking excesses in the City of London. But for years we have also had drummed into us that the City of London proudly took over from manufacturing as the UK's main source of income. New Labour rejoiced in the fruits of the excesses of the bankers. Of course, with hindsight, their bonuses were obscene. But New Labour gratefully taxed them.

15. Corny answer is of course is that everyone who wants musicals are children in different ways, aren't they? So you think of them in different ways. There are things of mine I'm sorry haven't come here.


16. The regrets in the theatre have always been the shows that you know ought to have worked, but for one reason of another haven't. I suppose if I had one regret it's that I would have loved to have had a long-term partner like Rodgers had with either Hart or Hammerstein. I was really hoping that the Tim Rice relationship would have gone on, but I'm obsessed with theatre and for Tim it's something that he does enjoy doing, is very good at, but it isn't his whole life as it is with me.

17. And it sort of jogged a memory of something that I read at school and I read it, and I thought God this is it. So you never can tell. I could find something this afternoon.







18. Here's the truth. The proposed top rate of income tax is not 50 per cent. It is 50 per cent plus 1.5 per cent national insurance paid by employees plus 13.3 per cent paid by employers. That's not 50 per cent. Two years from now, Britain will have the highest tax rate on earned income of any developed country.

19. What strikes me is that there's a very fine line between success and failure. Just one ingredient can make the difference. A really good example of that is design and "Love Never Lies". The London production didn't have any consistency of style, so it would go from say, art nouveau to art deco, to straightforward, old-fashioned showbiz. The Australian production had its own language. It was at one with the piece.

20. I guess the thing is that we remained huge friends after the original Phantom movie, when we decided it wouldn't take place and we just saw each other socially over the years so we were friends.






21. I began to think, now is the time. I found quite a lot of opposition in Hollywood about the idea of doing a film musical and we ended up having to buy the rights back. I'm glad we did because it meant John and I were able to make exactly the movie we wanted.

22. I guess we've had a very close relationship because I don't pretend to know about cinema and I think I do know a bit about theatre but he does, he respected that and so we really just had a collaboration which went completely like this.





23. (on composing songs) I've sometimes found that they've taken a while, but then you get the ones where it's so obvious that you think "that must have been done before", so you go through agonies and get musicologists and people to look at them.

24. I knew nothing about film at all. I suppose the biggest surprise is all these things. In the theatre we sort of do, I might do two or three key interviews and that would be it.





25. I mean I don't really think about it. You know, do you know what I often say to myself? I think you're very lucky in life if you know what you want to do.

26. I said, look, do you think you could bring Gerry through, and they said yeah, absolutely, they thought that. Joel was very keen to cast him. If all my music team were happy, I was happy.




27. In the last few years, everything seems to have gone slightly away from music and more toward the comedy musicals, the "Hairsprays" and "The Book of Mormons". I just don't know if there's a public for something now which is much more serious and is old-fashioned, in the sense that it is melodic.

28. I think Michael Crawford realized, I think we all realized, once we'd gone the route of casting a very young girl, you can't really cast a 65 year old man opposite. Slightly different resonance I think. No, we weren't going to go there. We'd have Jack Nicholson in the lead.


29. I think back at the time, if it had been 1988, I would have thought Michael and Sarah probably would have been cast but I don't think, I think it's much better that the girl is younger and if Sarah would have been 26 or 27 then.

30. I think the thing's that perhaps sad really is that younger people haven't come in and I think it must have been absolutely fantastic to have worked in the 50's when you had all of the great Broadway composers and when "West Side Story" didn't win the Tony Award.


31. I think that the wonderful advantage we have in the film of being able to cast a girl as young as Emmy and which we couldn't do in the theatre of course because no girl of 16 or 17 could sing 8 shows a week, couldn't sing two.

32. I would have gone right ahead but the only thing, the only phenomenon that's going on now of course, which is different in my experiences, is that you are getting things planted in the Net by people about the Woman in White on the Net. That's not a nice change.


33. I'm going to take the kids away over Christmas but I don't, I've written 14 musicals now, I don't want to rush into doing something just for the sake of doing it. I want to do it when I find a story.

34. In Evita I wasn't really hugely involved with it. I gave a little bit of help but they needed a bit of technical help on the movie and so some of my music people went in at the end of the movie and helped out with it.

35. If you know what you want to do, as I always loved musicals, and then to have been lucky enough to be successful with them, I think that's all you can ask isn't it? I think I don't really think too much about it. I am a bit shy socially, yeah, I admit that.

36. It must have been an extraordinary time. I guess the worrying thing about musical theatre to me, is if you look at the London season this year, mine is actually the only one to have come in.

37. The next few years are going to be horrendous in the UK. The last thing we need is a Somali pirate-style raid on the few wealth creators who still dare to navigate Britain's gale-force waters.

38. Negative things, and they were all deliberate and I'm not going to say who they were but I know who they were and it was in the business, and that's not a good sign.


39. Two years ago I hadn't even thought of the Woman in White, and I was doing a television show and I said I hadn't found a story and the next day somebody rang me and said have you ever thought of the Woman in White.
