Aubrey O'Day reverses her plastic surgery after being 'disgusted' by old photos
With Kris Jenner casually name-dropping her facelift surgeon, Kylie Jenner admitting to a secret boob job, and Khloé Kardashian listing off her tweaks in a viral clapback, the 41-year-old Danity Kane alum is following suit—getting candid about her own cosmetic journey.
And even the ones she's walked back.
The 41-year-old singer—who recently shared that ex Donald Trump Jr. once made her feel beautiful —opened up in a Thursday interview about scaling back her look and why she chose to reverse some of the work she's had done over the years.
'I got lip fillers that were invading my face and I thought they looked good until they took them away and I got to see that I was trippin,' she told ET with a smile.
She went on, 'I'm so happy those lips are off my face cause when I see photos with the lip injections, I'm disgusted.'
'I thought I was killing it… and I was not ever killing it with those big, giant… when people would say "duck lips," I'd be like, "They're just jealous," … oh no, they were trying to tell me.'
She continued, 'Some people aren't haters, some people are really trying to guide you better. And I was looking in the mirror, and I thought it looked good.'
'I was just keeping up with the Joneses and it was just taking over my face. I didn't even look young,' O'Day stressed.
'You can really look much younger if you get rid of that stuff.'
O'Day said she began learning more about the realities of cosmetic procedures after appearing on E!'s Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind, where she started dialing things back and undoing work she no longer felt served her.
But she hasn't sworn off surgery altogether.
Concerned about sagging breasts, the singer opted for a breast lift in January—and couldn't be happier with the outcome.
'Now these things are just sitting. No bra, no tape, no nothing. They're just up. They're back like my 21-year-old titties, and I love it,' she said.
'I was just keeping up with the Joneses and it was just taking over my face. I didn't even look young,' O'Day stressed in the interview; (L on July 16, R in 2019)
'So I would tell everybody that surgery was great, I'll tell you the surgeon. They look amazing. Very, very minimal scars,' she continued.
'I'm so happy that my boobs are finally back where they deserve to be after all the work I've done in my life.'
O'Day said the experience on the show taught her a lot—both about herself and what she was capable of handling.
'I learned so much,' she added, noting that she also formed 'real' lifelong friendships during her time filming the show.

‘This is not AI': why oiled-up abs are the least radical thing about Sacha Baron Cohen's reinvention
It is a rite of passage for almost every comic actor working today. You spend years – sometimes even decades – curating a reputation as a happy go lucky, physically anonymous everyman. Then Marvel comes knocking, and you realise that you might have to share a scene with Chris Hemsworth, and next to him you're going to look like a weedy twig-worm hybrid. The next thing you know, you're all over the internet, greased up and flexing. Which is a very long way of saying: Borat's got abs now. Sacha Baron Cohen is this month's Men's Fitness magazine cover model. His pecs are popping. His biceps are bulging. His forearms look like a sack of live snakes. His pants are, conservatively, two and half inches lower than they really should be. His entire torso looks like it's been rolled around in margarine. He is, to use his own words, 'hard launching my mid-life crisis'. And this is all because of Marvel. Sacha Baron Cohen stars in the Disney+ TV show Ironheart as Mephisto. Which might be news to a lot of you, since Ironheart was released right at the moment that superhero fatigue hit such terminal velocity that president of Marvel Studios Kevin Feige essentially chose to promote the Fantastic Four movie by promising everyone that he wasn't going to make as many TV shows any more. But, really, that's beside the point. Because, of all the shredded topless comic actor torso reveals, the only one to go on to any substantial screen time was Chris Pratt. It has now been 12 years since he took his top off for Instagram to show his transformation from 'the schlubby one from Parks and Recreation' to 'man with abdominal muscles', and he has since been in six MCU films, a Christmas special and several other projects that relied on him looking ripped. Contrast that with Kumail Nanjiani, who went from a round-faced, Oscar-nominated writer in 2017 to looking like a vacuum-sealed walnut bag in 2019. And this because he had been cast in The Eternals, in which he effectively had a bit part as one of about 300 new superheroes. Aside from a voice acting gig in one episode of What If…?, that has been the sum total of his MCU output. Which is still a ton compared to Sacha Baron Cohen, whose Mephisto appeared fully clothed in just one episode of a television show that has left no cultural footprint whatsoever. The point is that, while a Marvel gig might ostensibly be the impetus to start pumping iron, it isn't necessarily the end goal. For all anyone knows, we may never see Mephisto again. But the image of Cohen clutching a pair of dumbbells while being covered in more goose fat than a cross-channel swimmer will live for ever. Especially since his earlier career relied upon him showing off as much of his body as he could. Go back and look at photos of him in a mankini as Borat, and you'll see what a change this is. That said, despite being leaner and better defined now, those pictures demonstrate that the most effective element in his transformation may well have been a comprehensive chest wax. Still, let's allow him this moment. If nothing else, Cohen is being neatly self-deprecating about how he looks on Instagram, quipping: 'Some celebs use Ozempic and some use private chefs, others use personal trainers. I did all three,' and 'This is not AI. I really am egotistical enough to do this.' And if it means that he's moving away from comedy – there's no way that Borat can ever wear another mankini unless he's going to aggressively rebrand himself as a thirsty divorcee – then so be it. Between Ironheart and last year's Disclosure, it seems like that's where he was headed anyway. Besides, this reveal puts Sacha Baron Cohen one step closer to the next chapter in the MCU playbook: complaining about how horrible it is to look like this. Chris Pratt did it, claiming that he had to drink so much water that his life became a 'nightmare'. Kumail Nanjiani did it, making a colossal show of getting to eat some cake like a normal person. And so it will inevitably be with Sacha Baron Cohen. That is, unless Mephisto becomes a central part of the MCU in the future. If that's the case, the brand sponsorship with Veet must be just around the corner.

Teddi Mellencamp shows fans what she looks like with no wig on as she gives grim update on cancer battle
Teddi Mellencamp unveiled her latest look on Wednesday amid her brutal battle with cancer. But her break to reveal her stylish new look came shortly after she revealed on her podcast that a treatment she has been relying on to fight her cancer has been making her 'sicker.' The 44-year-old former Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star — who had a chilling burglary scare earlier this week — had previously disguised her treatment-related hair loss with a variety of wigs, and she even rocked an edgy close-cropped buzz cut that revealed her scars and bald patches from chemotherapy and brain surgery. For her latest hairdo, Teddi revealed a freshly styled but thicker version of her buzz cut, this time dyed a chic platinum blond. She sounded hesitant at the reveal, writing, 'Let's see how long this lasts.' The reality star, who also credited her hair stylist, shared on Wednesday's episode of her podcast Two Ts In A Pod that her current immunotherapy treatments have begun to make her feel worse than before she started them. 'Essentially, what we figured out with me was, yes, I started out feeling great, and I could do all the pods and I could do all these things, and I could go to all my daughter's horse shows and I could stay at my house by myself, and I felt really strong,' she said while chatting with her co-host Tamra Judge. 'And what's happening with me is the longer that I'm on immunotherapy, the sicker it's making me.' Teddi said she had been consulting with her doctors on how to proceed, and they had decided to temporarily halt the immunotherapy treatments because they had been wracking her body 'incredibly hard.' 'We're going to take a little break on the immunotherapy to get my body back feeling stronger,' Teddi declared. She clarified that she was currently taking steroids to help alleviate the side effects of the immunotherapy. 'We're doing everything that we can to get me back to feeling like I, you know, I can do this, I can do all the things,' Teddi added. She said that she had lately been dealing with highly variable energy levels, where some days she could do all her usual tasks, while other days she struggled to fulfill her responsibilities without getting too fatigued. Teddi also noted that she has had difficulties with her memory and sometimes struggled to recall gossip from earlier RHOBH episodes when recording her podcast. She even rocked an edgy close-cropped buzz cut that revealed her scars and bald patches from chemotherapy and brain surgery However, it wasn't clear if those memory side effects were due to her latest round of treatments, or if they could have stemmed from her brain tumors. The daughter of John Mellencamp previously revealed that she had been diagnosed with several melanomas in 2022, and the surgeries to remove them in recent years have left a patchwork of scars across her back and shoulders. In February, she revealed that her skin cancer had metastasized and spread to her brain, with the resulting tumors causing devastating headaches that had grown in intensity in the weeks leading up to their discovery. She shared with her fans in April of this year that her melanomas were now considered stage IV after metastasizing and spreading to her lungs and brain. Patients diagnosed with stage IV cancer also have a greater likelihood of dying from the disease, though it can still be reversed at that point, or at least treated well enough to prolong a patient's life for a considerable amount of time. Teddi has subsequently called out commenters on her Instagram posts who have suggested she has little time left. During her somber health update, she clarified that she doesn't want to fill her fans' 'feed with cancer' news. 'I know that can be a depressing topic,' she admitted. 'But I also want [people to know that] if you're going through something like this, things are going to change and that's OK,' Teddi said. 'The hardest thing for me has been kind of the wake up call of "Wow, I can't do what I did yesterday," or "Wow, I can't do what I did three weeks ago,"' she added. Teddi also reiterated that her cancer hasn't just upended her life, but has also severely affected her children. 'It's changed my kids' life. It's changed my relationship with Edwin [Arroyave],' she said, referring to her estranged husband. 'You guys all know that we were filing for divorce. Nothing's changed in that other than that we're on hold because of what's happening to me medically,' she explained. 'But he's had to step in and help me because some days I can't do it.' Teddi and Edwin share three children: daughters Slate, 12, and Dove, four, as well as their 10-year-old son Cruz. The former Real Housewife is all the stepmother of Edwin's oldest daughter, 16-year-old Isabella. In a recent interview with her friend and former RHOBH costar Kyle Richards, Teddi revealed that her doctors opted not to order more advanced scans after initially discovering her stage I melanomas, which might have revealed that her cancer was spreading. She urged others diagnosed with cancer to advocate for themselves and to be more actively involved in their treatment as a result.
