Kathy Griffin confirms she underwent THIRD face lift after raising eyebrows with taut appearance
'Very taut is also very true!' the 64-year-old comedian wisecracked on her Talk Your Head Off podcast last Tuesday.
'It's my third. 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. You come to hear my jokes, which is what I want.
'I don't want you to come to care what I look like. I'm in Lululemons today for God's sake. I'm in my fat pants. I don't have dysmorphia... I have a little.'
Proving she's no gatekeeper, Kathy revealed her new face came courtesy of Dr. Ben Talei, who previously worked on her famous friend Sia.
The 49-year-old camera-shy pop star gushed over the 'incredible' Beverly Hills plastic surgeon while publicly presenting him with a Daytime Beauty Award in 2023: 'I love him, I can't say enough good about him.'
And it wasn't just Griffin's face as she revealed her cosmetic procedure also included a blepharoplasty, foxy eye lift, and work on her chin.
'There's a stitch in my chin, which you're probably not going to see unless you're under me, but not in that way,' the two-time Emmy winner wisecracked.
'I'm going to be honest. It's painful. So these bi***es that are like, "It's like getting a tooth filled! It's nothing!" No, it's painful.'
Kathy did not mention taking pain pills but, in 2020, she was hospitalized at age 59 for an addiction to pills - Oxycontin, Valium, Klonopin, Ativan, Adderall, and Provigil - which stemmed from past injuries.
'Then you go to this rich lady recovery place. It's not all ladies. I saw a couple dudes there, but everybody's kind of in hiding and I had gauze on like a soccer ball,' Griffin continued.
'You get out of that place and you come home and maybe you come home with a nurse, and it's disgusting. I'm not going to lie. The first night there's drains that come out of your chin. I know it's so gross. But the vanity takes over.'
The flame-haired funnywoman - who boasts 4.1M social media followers - posted a clip of her vlog on Instagram and Melissa Rivers commented: 'You look great!'
Melissa's late mother Joan Rivers was Kathy's mentor, and she was always honest about her multiple cosmetic surgeries including a nose job, eye lift, and tummy tucks: 'I've had so much plastic surgery, when I die they will donate my body to Tupperware.'
Griffin - who had half of her left lung removed in 2021 cancer battle - has previously confessed to having her breasts enlarged, a brow-lift, a facial peel, and liposuction (which nearly killed her in 1999).

2005 vs. 1997: But Kathy's plastic surgery journey originally began in 1986, at age 26, with a nose job
But the Illinois-born comic's plastic surgery journey originally began in 1986, at age 26, with a nose job.
Kathy kicks off her humorously named New Face, New Tour on November 8 at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, NV after concluding her 75-city My Life on the PTSD-List Tour.
Griffin still holds the Guinness World Record for the highest number of televised stand-up specials - 20 - by a comedian for any network.
The Grammy winner will next voice the character Chastity Piranha in JB Ghuman Jr.'s animated pilot SPoRKartOON - premiering August 24 at the Hop Hop Film Festival in Harlem - alongside Tatum O'Neal, Rosie O'Donnell, and Margaret Cho.
On the personal front, Kathy finalized her divorce from Randy Bick on January 13 after nearly four years of marriage, but he signed a prenuptial agreement.
Before their 2020 wedding, Griffin and the 47-year-old marketing executive dated for nine years aside from a brief four-month split in 2018-2019.
The Unconventional actress divorced her first husband - computer technician Matt Moline - in 2006 after five years of marriage.

Wife of ex Maroon 5 bassist Mickey Madden files for divorce after accusing him of abuse and sexting teens
Kate Bowman, the wife of former Maroon 5 bassist Mickey Madden, has filed for divorce form the musician, two weeks after accusing him of abuse and sexting teenagers. The fashion influencer filed for divorce on Wednesday after just three months of marriage, according to TMZ. She listed 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for their split, but did not provide a date of separation. Bowman — who was seen in Los Angeles earlier this month following her shocking allegations — is requesting spousal support, while also asking the court to prevent her ex, 46, from receiving any. As the couple has no children, there are no child custody or support issues to address. It's unclear if the couple, who have been together for over four years before tying the knot on May 6, have a prenup. It comes two weeks after Bowman accused him of physically attacking her, after she confronted him about sending inappropriate text messages to teenagers. 'He physically abused me,' Bowman said in court documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, in regard to a series of events which unfolded on July 21. 'I'm now terrified of him.' Bowman said the bass player went 'insane' after she asked him about the alleged messages with the teenage girls - which allegedly centered around a rape fantasy. Bowman told the court that he grabbed her arms and slammed her body against a kitchen counter. 'He pulled me to the ground and was out of his mind,' Bowman told the court in her filing. Bowman described her efforts to flee the dangerous situation in her court filing. 'I managed to move around and escape him, got up, and ran out of the house to escape him,' she said. She continued: 'He ran after me in his underwear and barefoot, caught up to me, shoved me against the gate, and then tried to grab me back to the house.' Bowman said that she 'managed to escape and ran to the street' but Madden 'found [her] twice in different locations, physically abusing me each time.' Bowman included screengrabs in her filing from ring camera footage to support her claims. Bowman tried to retrieve Madden's phone, and says she wound up leaving the home afraid for her life. Bowman was able to rummage through the contents of the phone after she ran down the street and hid between cars after escaping the enraged musician's clutches, she said in court documents. Bowman told the court that Madden had never shown that level of outrage prior to their marriage. She was pointed out to the text-related allegations against Madden by a stranger, she said in the court filing. She told the court that she subsequently moved out of the home and has been residing with a friend in the wake of the conflict. Bowman told the court that Madden told her he was sorry via text message, and that he was planning on seeking help for sex addiction. She said she was concerned about Madden's potential mercurial reaction when he sees that she used a credit card of theirs to hire a lawyer in the wake of the July 21 incident. Bowman has asked for a restraining order preventing Madden from approaching within 100 yards of her person, place of business, residence or vehicle. She said that Madden has exerted monetary control over her for the duration of their four-year-plus relationship. Bowman said she has since started working a job, and is concerned that Madden will try to track her down at her work. She added that she's put a deposit down for an apartment where she will reside. Bowman is asking for expenses, in addition to custody of a pair of Siberian Husky dogs they own named Jam and Toast. A Los Angeles Superior Court judge granted Bowman a temporary restraining order in connection with the domestic violence allegations, but a request for Madden to vacate their home was not granted, pending a future hearing on the matter. Madden was the bass player for Maroon 5 - whose hits include moves like Makes Me Wonder, Moves Like Jagger and She Will Be Loved - for nearly 26 years, but departed the band in 2020. He stepped away from Maroon 5 in July of 2020 after he was arrested in connection with domestic violence 'I have some things that I need to deal with and address right now and so I have decided to take a leave of absence,' Madden said in a statement at the time. 'During this time, I do not want to be a distraction to my bandmates. I wish them the absolute best.'

Jason Momoa reveals the moment he feared he would DIE during 'brutal' surfing accident in Hawaii
Jason Momoa is opening up about a near-death incident that still haunts him to this day. The 46-year-old Aquaman star revealed on the latest episode of the Smartless podcast that he nearly drowned while on a surf outing off the coast of Maui, Hawaii, in 2007. 'I was doing this paddle, we went in at Jaws,' Momoa said, referring to the surf break located on the northern shore of Maui, which draws the world's top surfers to its enormous — and potentially deadly — waves. Momoa — who is currently dating the Andor actress Adria Arjona — explained to hosts Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes that his group of paddle boarders were taking a 13-mile route along the island's coast when his situation took a dire turn. 'You're kind of almost a mile offshore, and then my leash snapped. We're about seven miles into it and my leash snapped, and it's so windy on Maui,' he said. Momoa, who was at the time starring on Stargate: Atlantis, said he was 'trained pretty well' at the time, so he initially felt 'fine,' but things took a turn for the worse as waves began to batter him. 'I took quite a few on the head. They're pretty big, like 10-foot Hawaiian waves,' he shared. 'But I'm probably half a mile at that point offshore.' But as he began to tire from staying afloat in the chaotic sea, Momoa got to a point where he was 'stuck in this crazy spot,' which he thought may have been the outer ridge of a coral reef, which kept him out of sight of his friends. 'I was really on the outer reef and they couldn't see me,' he said. 'I had my paddle and I was waving it and they couldn't see me, and the waves were so big.' The actor — who was still two years away from his breakout turn on Game Of Thrones — began to panic as he thought about his three-month-old daughter Lola. Momoa shared his daughter, now 18, with his ex-wife Lisa Bonet, and the former couple later welcome their son Nakoa-Wolf, 16. 'I just lost it. I was like, "Oh s***,"' Moma admitted. Momoa said he began to just drift in the water as he feared that he had been left behind by the rest of his group. 'I was out there for a while, and I just couldn't see anyone coming to get me. I couldn't move anymore, and my arms and my legs gave up,' he recalled. 'My body stopped. Like I couldn't move my arms anymore, and I bubbled down. Then my toe hit the outer reef. 'I literally gave up, and I'm screaming inside,' Momoa said of his moment of despair. But he got the motivation to go on at the last possible moment when one of his friends spotted him and swam out toward him for support. 'I get back on the board and we start paddling,' he recalled, adding that it wasn't possible to just swim the shorter distance back to shore. 'He's like, "You got to go out," so we just keep paddling out.' Momoa and his friend still had seven more miles to go on the journey, even as the 'brutal' waves battered them the whole way. By that point, the Dune actor was bleeding profusely from cutting himself on the reef lurking just below the surface. 'My feet are covered in blood,' he recounted. 'And I'm just literally [with] my ancestors just paddling the rest of this way, head down and we get out.' Momoa's near-death experience was followed by an incredible career resurgence that he's still in the midst of today. He become one of the biggest stars on the planet after scoring a major role on Game Of Thrones as Khal Drogo, and he followed that part up with his role as Aquaman in multiple DC Comics films. Momoa also tried his hand at playing in the Fast And Furious sequel Fast X and was part of the ensemble cast of the hit video game adaptation A Minecraft Movie earlier this year. He also earned rave reviews as Duncan Idaho in 2021's Dune: Part One. After skipping the second film in the Timothée Chalamet–starring series, he's set to return to the for the sequel Dune: Messiah, which is now filming. Momoa can currently be seen on the nine-episode miniseries Chief Of War, which began airing on Apple TV+ on August 1. The actor — who is also an executive producer on the show — stars as the real-life warrior chief Kaʻiana, who in the late 18th century rebelled against Kamehameha I's attempts to conquer and unify the major Hawaiian islands.

Britney Spears suffers double nip-slip in peekaboo dress as fans rage over Kevin Federline's 'cash grab'
Britney Spears posted another one of her trademark scantily-clad dance videos on Tuesday - this time with a saucy twist. The 43-year-old was wearing a revealing gold minidress with a wide peekaboo section that flashed her amply endowed cleavage. Unfortunately the gap was so broad that Britney found herself repeatedly suffering nip slips, sometimes on both sides simultaneously. She was cheerfully undeterred by her wardrobe malfunctions, continuing to dance and grinning mischievously at the camera. However she made sure to use tiny sunflower emoji to ensure she refrained from violating the Instagram Community Guidelines involving nudity. The video comes after her fans slammed her ex-husband Kevin Federline over his announcement he is penning a tell-all about her called You Thought You Knew. Federline, 47, irritated loyal Britney supporters as he promised in a news release his book would reveal 'extremely intimate and transparent' details about their 'highly publicized marriage.' Federline said of his upcoming book, 'I achieved my biggest dreams, dealt with crushing heartbreak and endured constant ridicule, all while becoming the father my children needed as they experienced non-stop emotional turbulence.' Federline, who was wed to Britney from 2004 thru 2007, added that 'if you've ever had questions, you'll find answers here.' But loyal supporters of the ...Baby One More Time songstress - who shares sons Sean Preston, 19, and Jayden, 18, with Federline - weren't interested in the book, which is slated to be released October 21. Daily Mail has reached out to Federline via Instagram for comment on the backlash to the release of the forthcoming book. Fans of Spears took exception with Federline for rehashing his past with the Womanizer artist in what they felt was a blatant cash grab. 'So, no one would buy his story, so he thinks people want to hear him read his notes app life story?' asked one user, while another said, 'Damn, he REALLY needs money!' Said one Reddit user: 'That child support dried up realllllll quick,' while another chimed in, 'His timing tells you everything.' The 43-year-old was wearing a revealing gold minidress with a wide peekaboo section that flashed her amply endowed cleavage One user on X referenced another of the Lucky singer's famous exes in slamming Federline. 'Instead of writing fanfiction novels he should go back and tour with Justin Timberlake so they can both cry endless rivers,' the user said. 'It's tiring.' One Reddit user added, 'I suggest on his release date, let's all buy a copy of Britney's book and get her back on the charts.' In addition to his sons with the Oops!... I Did It Again vocalist, Federline is father to daughter Kori, 23, and son Kaleb, 21, with actress Shar Jackson, 48. He is also father to daughters Jordan, 13, and Peyton, nine, with his wife, former volleyball player Victoria Prince, 42. One X user said of Federline's ties to show business: 'He was a dancer, knocked up 2 celebrities, abandoned the 1st one and their kids while she was still pregnant then married the more famous one and took her kids for the child support money.' According to the news release, 'The public unraveling of Britney's life and the constant attention around their family forced Kevin to balance being a father with being a protector.' Some fans expressed concern Britney could be emotionally impacted for the worse with her ex-husband bringing their past dirty laundry back into the public consciousness. 'Ah great…another person reopening her wounds and bringing more judgement her way,' a Britney fan said. A Reddit user noted, 'Britney has been through enough. Now this? My heart goes out to her and I hope she slams him.' One Britney fan referred to the 2022 book penned by her sister Jamie Lynn Spears, Things I Should Have Said. 'Guess he didn't see what happens when Jamie Lynn attempted to mooch off Britney w her book,' the fan said. Federline in the book also will detail his time as a dancer for Michael Jackson, Destiny's Child and Pink, according to the news release.
