Ricki Lake reveals she had major plastic surgery makeover after 40lb weight loss
Ricki Lake revealed she underwent a major plastic surgery makeover after reaching her 130lb goal weight in January.
'I've had a lower face and neck lift,' the 56-year-old Daytime Emmy winner announced on Watch What Happens Live Thursday.
'This is something that was bothering me. I lost a lot of weight and I had this certain [skin] hanging [on my neck]. I had it fixed.'
Ricki then proved she was no gatekeeper by giving a shout out to 'genius' Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Allen Foulad: 'I kind of think it's the best facelift I've ever seen.'
At that, host Andy Cohen gushed: '[I've] got to tell you I'm heading to LA for this! I've seen a lot of [plastic surgery] work in these chairs. That's really good.'
'You can't see [any] thing. It looks amazing,' Lake said of scarring.
'And I love that I can talk about it. I'm fully transparent, always have been, but I don't want there to be any stigma.'
The New York native's confession on the boozy Bravo talk show came 10 days after The Kardashians producer-star Kylie Jenner decided to spill the secrets to her ample assets.
'445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle! Silicone!' the 27-year-old Kylie Cosmetics CEO replied to a grateful fan on TikTok.
'[Dr.] Garth Fisher! Hope this helps, LOL!'
The Independent Spirit Award nominee looks thinner than ever after dropping 40lbs off her 5ft3in frame in less than two years without the help from a trendy GLP-1 agonist drug.
'I did not go on any drug because I wasn't prediabetic,' Ricki explained to Us Weekly in January.
'There's nothing wrong with those drugs. They're actually game changers for so many people. But for me, I did not want to be reliant on a drug if I could help it.'
Celebrities who've admitted to taking the trendy injectables include Oprah Winfrey, Kathy Bates, Kelly Clarkson, Whoopi Goldberg, Meghan Trainor, Elon Musk, Rebel Wilson, Chelsea Handler, Amy Schumer, Sharon Osbourne, Sheryl Underwood, Lauren Manzo, Dolores Catania, and Golnesa 'GG' Gharachedaghi.
But for every celebrity who admits to hopping aboard the Ozempic train, there are many more who've remained suspiciously silent while slimming including Lizzo, Mindy Kaling, Melissa McCarthy, Khloe Kardashian, Lana Del Rey, Christina Aguilera, and Patricia Arquette.
The FDA has only approved three GLP-1 drugs specifically for weight loss - the semaglutide Wegovy, the liraglutide Saxenda, and the tirzepatide Zepboun - and the rest are specifically for patients suffering from type 2 diabetes.
The 27-year-old Kylie Cosmetics CEO replied to a grateful fan on TikTok: '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle! Silicone! [Dr.] Garth Fisher! Hope this helps, LOL!'
The Hairspray alum - who once topped the scales at 260lbs - previously struggled with her weight and yo-yo dieting for decades (pictured in 1988)
Lake whittled down her size-four figure with a strict keto diet, intermittent fasting, Pilates classes, and two-mile daily hikes while wearing a weighted vest.
'I wore a glucose monitor,' the Stone Road Farms collaborator continued.
'I wore my Oura ring [which tracks health data]. I prioritized sleep and overall, a low-stress lifestyle. And it worked. It continues to work.'
Ricki - who once topped the scales at 260lbs - previously struggled with her weight and yo-yo dieting for decades.
On June 18, Lake will celebrate the 24th birthday of her son Owen, and she also mothered 28-year-old son Milo during her nine-year marriage to first ex-husband, illustrator Rob Sussman, which ended in 2004.
On January 8, the Fatty15 paid partner and her third husband Ross Burningham lost their $5M Malibu home in the Palisades wildfire, and they've since moved to New York City.
Ricki is perhaps best known for hosting her very own syndicated, daytime talk show from 1993-2004.
But Lake got her big break in 1988 portraying drag queen Divine's 'pleasantly plump' onscreen daughter Tracy Turnblad in John Waters' racially-charged dance comedy Hairspray.
The former DWTS contestant went on to act in the 79-year-old raunchy director's films Cry Baby (1990) and Serial Mom (1994) as well as Adam Shankman's 2007 musical remake of Hairspray and NBC's Hairspray Live! in 2016.

Jenelle Evans takes savage swipe at ex-husband David Eason during wild divorce party at strip club
Jenelle Evans celebrated her divorce from David Eason in wild style at New York City 's infamous Spearmint Rhino on Thursday. The Teen Mom star, 33, even had a very special piñata of her ex-husband's face made so she could swing the pole at him over and over and over again to mark the end of their turbulent eight year union. Jenelle looked like she was having the time of her life in a sexy red dress with her hair down in loose curls. The reality star drank, she gave out money from a stack of bills and took her turn on the pole during the raucous night. Jenelle was surrounded by a group of her girlfriends as she celebrated being single again. Before the raucous party she told TMZ that with David finally out of the picture, she is feeling she's feeling great, less anxious and totally free. The Teen Mom star, 33, even had a very special piñata of her ex-husband's face made so she could swing the pole at him over and over and over again to mark the end of their turbulent eight year union Jenelle filed for separation from David last year after six years of marriage and accused him of erratic behavior, substance abuse, not working – and even brought up the time he shot their French bulldog, Nugget, in 2019. In addition to her bachelorette party, Jenelle is grieving the death of seven-year-old daughter Lailah Price, who is the daughter of Olivia Leedham, her ex-husband David's former girlfriend. Price heartbreakingly died in the hospital after suffering a seizure the day earlier, a family friend revealed. 'I share all my condolences and my prayers out to David's ex because I can just not imagine how she feels right now,' the Teen Mom alum told 'My prayers and condolences go out to her and I just can't imagine how she feels right now,' Jenelle also said. Leedham, who has 10-year-old son Kaden with Eason, lost her daughter on Saturday, June 7th. She confirmed the passing with People. Janelle and Eason have eight-year-old daughter Ensley Jolie Eason together. The MTV alum also shares son Jace Vaughn, 15, with ex Andrew Lewis, and 10-year-old son Kaiser Orion with ex Nathan Griffin. She drank, she gave out money from a stack of bills and she took her turn on the pole In addition to Kaden and Ensley, Evans also has daughter Maryssa with his ex Whitney Rich. Back in May, Jenelle and her fellow Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham buried their 10 year feud over nachos and mocktails at Lucia at the Virgin Hotel in Las Vegas. Farrah and Janelle have been feuding for more than a decade, trading barbs and snarky comments on social media. At times they have called each other a 'prostitute' and a 'bad mom.' At one point in 2023, Janelle called Child Protective Services to do a wellness check on Farrah. Her reasoning? 'Her mom seems very unstable in her videos online.' From its inception, reality series Teen Mom was fraught with everything from custody battles and arrests to drug struggles and break-ups. MTV famously fired Eason in 2018 over homophobic and transphobic tweets, and the cable network fired the hot-tempered brunette in 2019 after nine seasons of Teen Mom 2 shortly after Eason shot and killed their French Bulldog, Nugget. After Evans initially called the Columbus County Sheriff's Office to report that her husband had shot and killed their dog, she subsequently claimed that she had not seen the shooting or seen any evidence that the dog was actually dead. That got police to end the investigation into the killing, only for Eason to admit months later that he had shot and killed the tiny dog, which he claimed had bitten their daughter Ensley Jolie, who was two at the time. Audiences were first introduced to Evans back in 2010 when she appeared in the second season of MTV reality show, 16 and Pregnant.

And the Emmy goes to ... Phillies star Trea Turner? Documentary on Turner's ovation wins Emmy Award
Turner already won an NL batting title and a World Series championship ring in his 11-year MLB career. How about adding an Emmy Award to that trophy case? 'Trea Turner's an Emmy winner, absolutely,' sports documentary producer Kyle Thrash said. 'He definitely held it up like he owned it.' Turner may not actually have the award in hand to keep for good, but he got to hoist the real deal ahead of Friday's game against Toronto in a short celebration for the Emmy won for a best sports short documentary produced on the 2023 standing ovation credited with turning around his season. 'The Turnaround' won a sports Emmy in May and Thrash and Phillies fan Jon McCann — whose personal struggles with mental health and kinship with Turner were the heart of the film — attended the game to show off their new bling to Turner. 'Cuz, we did it, huh?! 'McCann said as he shook Turner's hand on the field after batting practice. 'Trea Turner, we share an Emmy together.' Turner read the inscription at the bottom of the Emmy and promised the fans he would wave to them in section 301 if he stole a base in Friday's game. 'We get to bring a trophy back to the ballpark tonight and share it with so many people that were involved in the standing ovation. It's pretty incredible,' Thrash said. Philly sports fans — often billed as some of the worst in sports — gave a slumping Turner standing ovations in at-bats throughout the weekend in an August 2023 series to show he had their full support. Turner was in the first season of an 11-year, $300 million deal with the Phillies but was batting just .238 with 11 home runs and 39 RBIs. He was even dropped to eighth in the batting order headed into that series against Kansas City. In three games over the weekend against the Royals, Turner went 4 for 12 with two doubles, a home run and five RBIs and he would eventually help lead the Phillies to the playoffs. Turner later helped pay for 'Thank You, Philly" digital billboards in the greater Philadelphia area. The documentary was produced by Higher Ground, the media company founded by former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama MCann, also known as 'The Philly Captain," is a Philadelphia based YouTuber and was one of the fans — along with a Philly sports talk radio host — credited with rallying the fans to get behind Turner. 'During the ceremony, one of the award presenters said, 'wWen you go up against the Olympics, you lose.' So I kind of thought we already lost,' McCann said. 'We didn't. It was a great, great shock.' ___

50 Cent launches shock three-word insult at Kanye West's wife Bianca Censori amid rapper's Diddy trial cameo
50 Cent wasted no time taking aim at Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori after the rapper made a surprise appearance at Sean ' Diddy ' Combs' federal sex trafficking trial on Friday. The 49-year-old Grammy winner, who has been an outspoken critic of Diddy, weighed in after Kanye showed up at the Manhattan courthouse alongside Diddy's son Christian Combs. West told reporters he was there to show support for the embattled Bad Boy Records founder. Diddy is facing explosive allegations from federal prosecutors, who claim he ran a criminal enterprise that facilitated so-called 'freak offs' — alleged drug-fueled orgies involving paid sex workers. Shortly after West's appearance, 50 Cent took to Instagram to mock the couple, posting an AI-generated photo of himself dressed in an all-white outfit next to footage of Kanye arriving at court in his own similar all-white ensemble. In his caption, the In Da Club hitmaker didn't hold back, even referencing Censori's nearly-nude look from the Grammy Awards red carpet earlier this year. 'We are wearing white in honor of the freak offs,' 50 Cent wrote. 'Damn Ye you should have brought your dirty little wife with that Grammys outfit! @50centaction' Meanwhile, Kanye was reportedly not on the approved attendee list for the day and was instructed to watch the proceedings via a closed-circuit video feed in the overflow room. He left the courthouse after about 30 minutes. 50 Cent's Instagram jab comes shortly after he fired back after a podcast host floated the idea that his ex Daphne Joy was involved in one of Diddy's 'freak offs.' Diddy's ex-girlfriend Cassie recently testified about her experiences with freak offs, and male escort Sharay Hayes—also known as The Punisher— opened up about his role in an exclusive interview with On a recent episode of Talk with Flee, Killa Cam sat down with Hayes and grilled him about the high-profile names reportedly involved—including Daphne Joy, who shares 12-year-old son Sire Jackson with 50 Cent. Cam asked Hayes, 'We hear about 50's baby mama Daphne being involved in some of these things—did you ever f* Daphne?' to which Hayes replied, 'Nah, every time I was called or involved in any way, it was only Cassie, specifically.' But 50 wasn't having it, reposting the clip to Instagram and writing: 'Well here come the bullsh**, don't kiss my boy Pee Pee Mouth.' In his caption, the In Da Club hitmaker didn't hold back, even referencing Censori's headline-making, nearly-nude look from the Grammy Awards red carpet earlier this year Meanwhile, Kanye was reportedly not on the approved attendee list for the day and was instructed to watch the proceedings via a closed-circuit video feed in the overflow room It also follows 50 Cent's vow to personally contact President Donald Trump in an effort to block any potential pardon for Diddy if the Bad Boy mogul is convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking. In May, Trump said he would 'look at the facts' of the case, acknowledging that he and Diddy once had a friendly relationship. 'If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don't like me, it wouldn't have any impact,' the president added. But 50 Cent made it clear he intends to remind Trump of the history between them. 'Donald doesn't take well to disrespect, and doesn't forget who chooses to go against him... while working tirelessly to make America great again there is no room for distraction,' said 50 Cent. 50 Cent has long made it clear how he feels about his rap nemesis, and he's never missed a chance to troll Diddy online. Lately, he's taken things to another level—ramping up his attacks with a string of wild, AI-generated images mocking Diddy and the explosive allegations tied to his trial.
