Debbie Harry's plastic surgery confession: ‘It felt necessary'
'As far as me having cosmetic surgery, it made me feel better about myself,' the Blondie singer, 80, told Vanity Fair.
'Maybe it made me feel happy, or more confident,' the hit maker added, explaining that plastic surgery 'was just something that felt necessary at the time.'
'I wanted to work, and so much of women being attractive, and being a selling point, is clearly showbiz,' she said. 'If you're going to be in the business, be in it.'
When asked about the pressure of looking 'good' in the entertainment industry, the Heart of Glass singer also said the topic of cosmetic surgery now comes up at a younger age.
'It's not like I started having cosmetic surgery as a kid in school — I think nowadays a lot of girls are getting cosmetic surgery when they're 10, 11 years old,' she said.
'God bless if it improves their lives and they feel happy.'
The golden-haired singer's candid confession comes amid a spate of celebrity plastic surgery tell-alls.
On Monday, Khloe Kardashian, 41, took to the comments thread of a reel by Dr. Jonathan Betteridge in which he speculated about what cosmetic procedures and surgeries she might have undergone.
The Good American co-founder replied with a detailed list of her procedures, including a nose job and her infamous salmon sperm facials.
On June 2, cosmetics mogul Kylie Jenner, 27, shared the exact details of her breast augmentation after a TikTok user requested information on the 'most perfect, natural boob job ever.'
The mum of two replied in the comments thread, '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!!'
Meanwhile, mum Kris Jenner, 69, took to the comments thread of a June 4 Instagram post by Kylie's surgeon, Dr. Garth Fisher, to share her own experience with him.
'Garth you are a superstar class act!!' Kris commented after the physician gushed via Instagram that he was 'honoured to be acknowledged by Kylie.'
'You did my first facelift in 2011 … 14 years ago!!! and made it the most amazing experience ever and even gave us access to film so that others could get a peek inside what it's like and not be afraid,' the reality TV star divulged.
The momager added, 'You have taken great care of us always and remain such a close and treasured friend!! Such an incredible talent!!�'
Fans are loving Kris' makeover so much that they're saying she resembles her supermodel daughter Kendall, 29. A rep for the reality icon confirmed to Page Six in May that Dr. Steven Levine of New York was responsible for her youthful look.
Also in June, Honestly Cavallari star Kristin Cavallari, 38, took to an Instagram Stories Q&A to share her breast augmentation specs after a fan asked 'What size did you get?' and called her their 'boob-spiration.'
'I was 300 cc before and now I'm 340,' the Uncommon James designer replied. 'Everyone thinks I went a lot bigger but I've just pushed them up a couple of times since getting them done.'

Superman a movie about kindness in mean and petty world
Donning the famous red cape for the first time in the new Superman movie gave actor David Corenswet a big confidence boost. A relative newcomer, Corenswet follows in the footsteps of Christopher Reeve and more recently Henry Cavill as Clark Kent and Superman in the reboot movie, which was launched with a red carpet fan event in London on Wednesday. "When the cape gets on, it really ties the whole thing together. You walk out with it flowing behind you, you feel like, 'Yeah, I'm all right, I'll do OK'," said Corenswet, whose acting credits include TV series The Politician and Hollywood and films Twisters and Pearl. Superman offers the first look at director James Gunn's vision for the remake of the DC Universe (DCU) at Warner Bros. The Guardians of the Galaxy filmmaker, who also wrote the Superman screenplay, said he wanted to combine elements from the comic books and the mythos of Superman in cinema. "My Superman is about, you know, in a world where there's so much meanness and so many petty things happening, Superman, who can often be seen as old-fashioned or too earnest, too kind, he is those things. I think that's the most rebellious thing that you can be in this day and age," Gunn said. "It's a movie about kindness. But it's all told in this universe with giant monsters and flying dogs and robots and space battles and everything else." The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel actress Rachel Brosnahan takes on the role of Lois Lane and Nosferatu, About a Boy and X-Men franchise actor Nicholas Hoult stars as Superman's nemesis Lex Luthor. Hoult also drew inspiration from comic books for his portrayal of the iconic villain. "For instance, reading All-Star Superman, Lex really prides himself on being the peak alpha human, and so I really wanted to bring that kind of energy," Hoult said. Brosnahan said her predecessors in the role had set the bar high. Gunn's vision for the movie was what set it aside from previous films, she said. "I think James's knowledge of and love for these characters and the different adventures that he's taking them on with the different friends he's taking them with, kind of inherently brings it into present day," said Brosnahan. Superman begins its global cinematic rollout on July 9.

Charlize Theron, 49, makes wild sex confession about ‘f***ing amazing' hook-up with 26-year-old
Charlize Theron recently had a 'f***ing amazing' hook-up with a 26-year-old. The actress sat down with Alex Cooper for Wednesday's episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, where she detailed her sex life. 'I just want to say this in perspective,' Theron, 49, prefaced. 'I've probably had three one-night stands in my entire life. But I did just recently f**k a 26-year-old and it was really f***ing amazing.' 'I've never done that,' she continued. 'And I was like, 'Oh, this is great. OK.'' The Atomic Blonde star revealed that she 'found this freedom' in her 40s that allowed her to have the sexual encounter, which was very rare for her. 'I don't have many of them, I'm sitting here sounding like I do,' she explained. 'So when I do, I'm like, 'Oh, f**k yeah. I should have done this in my 20s.'' The producer explained that prioritising her sex life is hard as a single mum. 'Who has f***ing time for dates and shaving and waxing and make-up? And I have two children who have to go to school.' Theron welcomed both her kids through adoption, bringing Jackson — whom she revealed was transgender in 2019 — into her life in 2012, followed by August in 2015. Theron told Cooper that when she does want a hook-up, she needs to schedule it accordingly. 'This sh*t's on a timer,' she joked. 'Do you need me to send you a call time? You got two hours. What's happening? 'Cause, like, I need to know.' Theron tends to keep the details of her love life private. She was most recently linked to model Alex Dimitrijevic in May 2023, though she never confirmed the romance herself. 'Charlize and Alex have been dating for a few months now,' a source told Us Weekly at the time, noting that the pair's relationship was 'still in the early stages' but that they 'really like[d] each other.' The pair reportedly broke up in November 2024. Before that, Theron was in a highly publicised relationship with Sean Penn in 2013. Multiple outlets reported that the pair had even secretly gotten engaged. After they broke up in 2015, however, the Bombshell star said she had no intention of ever marrying the actor. 'I did not 'almost get married to Sean,' that's such bullsh*t,' she told Howard Stern in 2020. 'No, we dated, that was literally all we did, we dated. It was a relationship, for sure. We were definitely exclusive, but it was for barely a year.' Prior to Penn, Theron dated actors Craig Bierko and Stuart Townsend, along with Third Eye Blind frontman Stephan Jenkins.

Fans shocked to discover where Meghan's products are really made
It's official. Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex has added 'vigneron' to her ever-growing fleet of job titles that already includes jam seller, flower sprinkle proselytiser, tele producer, candle making instructor, apiarist, podcaster, handbag and vegan latte company investor, children's book author, former working HRH, calligrapher, actress and blogger, and designated cheerer upper-er of Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex. On Tuesday, on what would have been her mother-in-law Diana, Princess of Wales' 64th birthday, the duchess finally got into the vino business, launching her As Ever lifestyle brand's first bottle of the good stuff, a rosé, which sold out in less than an hour. But even when shelves are restocked again, I'm assuming by an overalls-wearing Harry supportively proudly working up some manly calluses on his hands, don't expect it to land in your local bottle-o near anytime soon. To even try the drop would cost you AUD$167, hardly making it Friday drinks-quaffable stuff. (The 'dry, and refreshing' blend was only sold with a minimum order of three bottles, reportedly due to shipping costs and for environmental reasons.) That works out at about $45 a bottle for which you could also get 2.4 bottles of Kylie Minogue's rosé, 3.2 bottles of Snoop Dogg's, and 1.2 bottles of Daniel Riccardo's version. Should the logistics of getting your hands on a taste of Meghan's wine be surmounted, don't expect it to have been produced anywhere near the Sussexes' Montecito home. According to the Telegraph the tipple is produced by the Fairwinds Estate in Napa Valley, 630 km north and a six hour drive away. The Napa Valley vineyard where Meghan sourced her rosé also reportedly makes wines for other starry wine labels, including those of Barry Manilow and John Wayne. (Who knew that Wayne, after ridin' his trusty steed into some fly-bitten frontier town, loved nothing more than moseying over to his the saloon for a big, bold grenache?) In the last couple of weeks more details have emerged about where As Ever products are sourced from. Sure, As Ever is a brand built on the image of shimmering, sun-kissed shots of Meghan picking apricots and flowers in her picturesque garden and her contentedly stirring a bubbling pot of jam in her kitchen, all very David Hockney-meets-Delia Smith. However, so far the provenance of some As Ever lines appears to be far less hashtaggable and dreamy. The first scene of the duchess' With Love Meghan series showed her tending to her bees, whispering 'Look at how much honey we have' but Daily Mail has reported that As Ever's range of fruit spreads, herbal teas, flower sprinkles and honey are sourced from a company which has a factory 3,200 plus kilometres away in Illinois. (Their headquarters are 560 plus kilometres away in California.) The firm, called The Republic of Tea, also makes Bridgerton and Downton Abbey-branded tea. Thanks to the Mail putting the calculator app to good use, The Republic of Tea's hibiscus tea bags work out at costing $0.48 per cup of tea while the As Ever ones are $1.52 each. Let's be realistic here. The Duchess of Sussex might be a passionate home cook and her kitchen might have the same square meterage of a mid-size metro two-bedder but to commercially produce enough jam, sorry spread, was always going to require outside help. Likewise her teabags. Did anyone really think that Harry was down the shed, neatly spooning dried hibiscus petals into little sachets and mulling his life choices? Of her products, a source close to Meghan told the Mail, they 'started with the version Meghan makes at home and worked to develop a version of it that could be produced at scale.' Fans clearly don't give a fig about where duchess' As Ever goodies are actually being cooked up with all three of the As Ever stock releases selling out in less than 60 minutes. (On June20, the second day the duchess' wares went on sale, the brand's website was visited half a million times, the Mail has reported.) However, the As Ever roll out has not been all peachy. The 43-year-old will give out free jars of her spread after a technical issue saw the site continue to take orders after overselling on the release of June's 'summer drop'. Something similar happened with sales of As Ever honey in April with the site providing refunds and offering free products after they continued selling honey after stock had actually run out. Depending on your Sussex stance, this either only reflects the high degree of public demand for Meghan's products and how hungry Americans are to buy into her charmed As Ever vision or says something about a business struggling to find its feet. As the Daily Beast's Tom Sykes pointed out ahead of the rosé's debut, As Ever's non- alcoholic products have only been available for purchase for less than two hours in the three months, which equates the As Ever's food 'shelves [having] been fully stocked for just 0.01 percent of the time' since launch. What remains to be seen is whether this all only cultivates an air of exclusivity and rarity and whets shoppers' appetites or whether it will just frustrate them. Also, does only having products on sale for less than an hour, every so often, make for a sustainable, profitable business concern? In March the Telegraph reported that the Duchess of Sussex 'thinks she's going to be a billionaire' thanks to her growing portfolio of ventures and projects. At least we know this, if Harry has been helping out behind the scenes, it might not have all been hard graft. The production of Meghan's proprietary blend of rosé saw the duchess 'heavily involved' for 'many months,' per the Telegraph, which included 'roping in friends and colleagues to conduct multiple taste tests at her home.' Hard work if you can get it.
