Jamie Lee Curtis regrets cosmetic surgery in her 20s
Jamie Lee Curtis regrets undergoing cosmetic surgery.
The Halloween star, 66, has revealed she had some work down when she was in her 20s after her looks were criticised by a cinematographer on the set of her 1985 film Perfect, but she has regretted the decision ever since.
During an appearance on CBS program 60 minutes, Curtis said: "(The cinematographer) was like: 'Yeah, I'm not shooting her today. Her eyes are baggy.'
"And I was 25. So, for him to say that was very embarrassing. So as soon as the movie finished, I ended up having some plastic surgery."
When asked how the surgery went, Oscar winner said: "Not well. That's just not what you wanna do when you're 25 or 26. And I regretted it immediately and have kind of sort of regretted it since ...
"Way so now because I've become a really public advocate to say to women: 'You're gorgeous and you're perfect the way you are.' So oh, yeah I ... it was not a good thing for me to do."

Dakota Johnson just about convinces us that it's tough to make a match
Materialists M, 117 minutes 4 Stars The dreamy, introspective relationship drama, Past Lives, was so successful several years ago with an Oscar nomination that the challenge of creating a follow-up feature would have been a daunting task. Not for Canadian writer-director Celine Song, who has landed on her feet again with this sharp relationship drama set in the world of modern dating. Materialists is a three-cornered romantic drama with a smart, ambitious young matchmaker, Lucy (a sparkly Dakota Johnson), who works at Adore, a dating agency in New York that aims high. It promises to match singles with the love of their life, no less. She hasn't found hers yet and says she is celibate at the moment, but there is an ex (Chris Evans) who she still has feelings for, while someone very rich and tall, dark and handsome who has also just appeared in her life. Harry (Pedro Pascal) checks all the boxes - such a rare catch. Pascal (a lead in The Last of US TV series) has the unenviable role of playing the unicorn, the perfect man who scores the highest on the measures that count, namely physical attractiveness and financial worth. He's genial, with an old-fashioned matinee idol look, complete with Burt Reynolds moustache, that is vaguely amusing. While Lucy is waiting for the perfect match herself, we can see she's a skilled negotiator who has a way with words. We see her in action as she tries to convince a reluctant bride out of the bedroom where she has stalled, weeping. Flattery works a charm, and the wedding goes ahead. Brother of the groom Harry is at the event too, and introduces himself to Lucy at the singles table. He is smooth and confident, and works in finance. At precisely the moment they are making each other's acquaintance, Lucy's ex-boyfriend John (Evans) delivers her drink order. He is on the wait staff, serving guests at the function, and he is neither smooth nor wealthy. Yet, with effortless ease, Evans brings a sweet, natural presence as John. His character is an aspiring actor, taking waitering work on the side to get by, and his private life is a shambles with two guys who are serious slackers sharing his apartment. Despite the perils of having high-profile actors like Pascal and Evans (Captain America in the Avengers) in a romantic relationship drama like this, the dynamics are convincing, the light comedy effective. It's nicely balanced with the film's critique of the dating business and of assessing partners "by doing the math", played out in the sharp exchanges between characters, especially Harry and Lucy. They get right to the point. While the business of matchmaking is brought into sharp focus every now and then, the difficulties of finding partners in a hard, fast urban world of anomie are acknowledged too. What is the average punter to do? Why not trust a dating agency to find the love of your life? Moreover, there are difficult clients who lack self-awareness. A couple of montages make the point here. A gallery of random male clients at the Adore interview stating their preferences for dating much younger women, while a montage of female clients reveals how difficult it is to work with people in this intimate area. And then there are some clients who present a serious risk. While screenwriter Song has done some serious thinking about these things, her three lead actors contribute engaging performances to carry it off. With lively, mobile features and a natural, gamine presence that grounds her character, Johnson brings her familiar vibrant presence. It is easy to understand why matchmakers are sought in traditional societies where young adults have only restricted access to prospective partners. And today, it is fascinating to observe how the pace and anonymity of city life have seen matchmaking become a thriving business and online dating the name of the game.

At 87, Jane Fonda feels and looks fabulous, but does admit to one fear
If celebrity health and wellness is your jam, there can be no celebrity that embodies your message more closely than double Oscar-winning aerobics queen Jane Fonda, now 87 years young. Fonda is on our shores on a mini-speaking tour at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on Thursday and Sydney's ICC Theatre on Sunday, brought out by wellness brand Wanderlust True North. The company's executive chairman is Radek Sali, who made his multimillion-dollar fortune similarly mixing up a celebrity/wellness brew that proved marketing catnip for Swisse vitamins, which was subsequently flogged to the Chinese for $1.7 billion in 2015. Last year a similar Wanderlust gig pulled in large audiences with Drew Barrymore producing onstage tears from singer Tones and I when the singer revealed fame had ended her relationship with her best friend. Before Thursday's main event, Sali hosted a VIP event for celebrities including podcaster and journalist Jessica Rowe, journalist Liz Hayes, performer Rob Mills and punters who had paid from $1000 for a premium meet and greet ticket. Loading At 6pm, the door opened to reveal a startled Fonda, clearly expecting a full house rather than the 200 seated for a media preview. But she recovered instantly with aplomb. The star took to the main stage for an intimate conversation with Hayes about passions, defining moments and how life shapes you. Well, as intimate as you can get at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre Plenary, which at full stretch can seat 5500. We can report that at age 87, Fonda is still looking fabulous and making people feel fabulous. Not so much the proof is in the pudding, but the proof is in the low-carb keto-approved spinach mushroom tomato mini frittata.

Judge declares mistrial at Harvey Weinstein rape trial
The judge overseeing Harvey Weinstein's criminal trial in Manhattan has declared a mistrial on a rape charge against the former Hollywood movie mogul, after one of the jurors refused to continue deliberations. The mistrial came a day after the jury convicted Weinstein on a separate sex abuse charge. It also acquitted him on a different sex abuse charge. Weinstein, once one of the most powerful figures in Hollywood, faced a retrial that began on April 23 after a New York state appeals court last year overturned his 2020 conviction. He was accused by prosecutors in this case of raping an aspiring actress and assaulting two other women. Weinstein, 73, pleaded not guilty and has denied assaulting anyone or having non-consensual sex. The jury found Weinstein guilty on one of the three counts he faced, which stemmed from his alleged assault of former production assistant Miriam (Mimi) Haley in 2006. The jury found Weinstein not guilty of a charge stemming from his alleged assault of Kaja Sokola in 2002 when she was a 16-year-old aspiring actress. Supreme Court Justice Curtis Farber declared a mistrial after the judge said the jury could not reach a verdict on a third count, which charged him with raping aspiring actress Jessica Mann in 2013. Weinstein faces up to 25 years in prison when he is sentenced. He has separately been sentenced to 16 years in prison following a rape conviction in California. In a startling development on Wednesday, the jury foreperson told Farber that other members of the panel were shouting at him and threatening him for refusing to change his vote on the rape count. Farber sent jurors home for the day to give them time to cool down and instructed the foreperson to arrive in court separately on Thursday. In closing arguments on June 3, the prosecution told the 12 jurors that the evidence showed how Weinstein used his power and influence to trap and abuse women. The defence countered that the accusers lied on the witness stand out of spite after their consensual sexual encounters with the Oscar-winning producer failed to result in Hollywood stardom. A jury found Weinstein guilty in February 2020 of raping Mann and sexually assaulting Haley. Sokola's allegation was not part of that case. The conviction was a milestone for the #MeToo movement, which encouraged women to come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct by powerful men. But the New York Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, threw out that conviction in April 2024. It said the trial judge erred by letting women testify that Weinstein had assaulted them, though their accusations were not the basis of the criminal charges. Though the conviction was thrown out, Weinstein, who has had a litany of health problems in recent years and attended the retrial in a wheelchair, has remained behind bars because of his California conviction. He is appealing that verdict. More than 100 women, including famous actresses, have accused Weinstein of misconduct.
