Kathy Griffin Reveals Results Of Third Facelift
Griffin recently shared with fans that she underwent another facelift in a video aptly titled 'New Face, Same Kathy!' that she released earlier this month.
'It's my third,' the comedian shared. 'I know, that's so vain. I'm so vain for no reason.'
'No one has ever gone to a Kathy Griffin show to see her beautiful, youthful face,' she quipped. 'You come to hear my jokes, which is what I want. I don't want you to come to care what I look like.'
Griffin then went into detail about the procedure, joking that 'as far as I know, they just yank the crap out of your skin and your neck.'
She also spoke about the process of choosing her surgeon, Dr. Ben Talei, and said that he also did singer Sia 's facelift.
'And the reason I'm saying that is that you can go on YouTube [and find this out],' Griffin said. 'There's a video of her without her backwards wig, 'cause as you know, she's an anonymous giant celebrity, and she even gave him an award, and she had the best before and after pictures I've ever seen.'
'And first of all, it's funny that Sia even got a facelift because you don't ever see her face, but the pictures sold me,' the 64-year-old added.
Griffin also got real about the surgical recovery process and made sure followers knew what they were getting into if they decided to follow in her footsteps.
'I'm going to be honest ― it's painful,' she said, mentioning that she had stitches in her eyelids. 'So these bitches that are like, 'It's like getting a tooth filled! It's nothing!' No ― it's painful.'

And while the results might eventually look great, post-op recovery isn't pretty, the actor said.
'You come home ― and maybe you come home with a nurse ― and it's disgusting. I'm not going to lie,' she said. 'The first night, there's drains that come out of your chin. I know, it's so gross. But the vanity takes over.'

Celebrities like Kylie Jenner, Kris Jenner, and Joel McHale have also recently been lauded for sharing details about various cosmetic procedures they've undergone.

McHale made waves for opening up about his fourth hair transplant on the We Might Be Drunk podcast back in June, and even recommended his doctor.
'I can get you a name of a guy in Turkey,' McHale said. 'But just make sure, 'cause if somebody is like, 'I'll do it for $3,000,' then you don't [do it]. You get what you pay for.'

Taylor Swift recalls celebratory reaction to Chiefs drafting Xavier Worthy
Taylor Swift recalled running and screaming through her house when the Chiefs acquired wideout Xavier Worthy in a 2024 draft-night trade with AFC rival Buffalo. During Wednesday's highly anticipated episode of the 'New Heights' podcast, the mega popstar — who had been teased as a 'special guest' in the lead-up — recalled her love for football culminating last year after she 'became obsessed' with the sport thanks to her boyfriend, Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce. 'I didn't know what a first down was, I didn't know what the chains were, I didn't know what a tight end was,' Swift, 35, said, laughing before Kelce thanked her for embracing the sport. 'I fell in love with it. I became obsessed with it. 'I became like a person who was running through the halls of my house screaming, 'We drafted Xavier Worthy!' And my friends are like, 'Who body snatched you? What do you mean we drafted Xavier Worthy?'' Swift, who revealed that her new album, 'The Life of a Showgirl' will drop Oct. 3, explained that she has great respect for NFL players and the pressure they endure in the sport. 5 Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy speaks to the media during the press conference after Chiefs OTAs at The University of Kansas Health System Training Complex on May 29, 2025 in Kansas City, Missouri. Getty Images 'I definitely became obsessed with sports because of [Travis]. I'm competitive on his behalf,' Swift said. '… I love this new world that Travis has shown me. It's so fun, it's so exciting, there is so much pressure on these players … the pressure on sports is such a different type that I have such respect for everyone, everyone on his team.' 5 Taylor Swift talks about her obsession with football after learning about Travis Kelce's world. YouTube/New Heights Swift and Worthy met following the Chiefs' 32-29 victory over the Buffalo Bills in the AFC championship game in January, where cameras caught Worthy's reaction to seeing Swift on the field to celebrate with Kelce. 'Oh s—,' Worthy said to someone off camera as Swift was hugging Chiefs coach Andy Reid. 'She's taller than me.' When asked about meeting Swift, Worthy said at the time that the singer asked him being getting drafted by the Chiefs. The 'New Heights' podcast, co-hosted by Travis and his older brother, Eagles legend Jason Kelce, nearly broke the internet Wednesday night. 5 Taylor Swift on the 'New Heights' podcast on August 13, 2025. X/New Heights The podcast glitched one hour and 44 minutes into the episode and went black, leaving more than one million people confused — and, of course, taking to social media to figure out what was happening. It eventually returned, as the 'New Heights' podcast said on X that YouTube helped resolve the matter. Elsewhere in the conversation, Swift called out male sports fans for complaining she's given too much TV time during Chiefs games. 5 The couple has been dating since 2023. Getty Images Last month, Kelce dismissed a narrative that he and Swift are 'trying to seek attention' by having date nights in the public eye, which included an appearance at the Stanley Cup Final in June. Kelce and Swift have stayed under the radar this offseason following the Chiefs' Super Bowl flop to the Eagles in February, a 40-22 defeat. 5 The Chiefs drafted Xavier Worthy in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
