Kathy Griffin's new facelift REVEALED: Star shows off youthful look in Malibu after undergoing third procedure
The 64-year-old comedian was pictured looking fresh-faced while leaving a Pilates class in Malibu.
The star's face appeared wrinkle-free but she shielded her eyes with a pair of sunglasses.
Kathy wore an orange T-shirt with the slogan 'Adopt, don't shop,' navy leggings, and black flats for the outing.
After working up a sweat, Kathy left the class with her red tresses pulled back into a high ponytail, and a blue and white tote bag slung over her arm.
Earlier, she arrived with her auburn hair cascading over her shoulders in locks, a significant change from the wild-haired look she had in July.
Earlier this week Kathy confirmed she underwent a third face lift after raising eyebrows with her taut appearance while hiking near her $8.8M Malibu home.
'Very taut is also very true!' the 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.'

The busy star checked something on her cellphone
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).
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.

'Mamma Mia!' returns to Broadway after a decade away, bringing the dance party back to New York
When the musical 'Mamma Mia!' said goodbye to Broadway a decade ago, there were tears and hugs and tons of applause. In the audience of its last show, one woman wasn't entirely buying it. 'I felt then that it wasn't goodbye forever. I felt we'd be back one day,' says producer Judy Craymer, who had conceived of the show in the 1980s. 'I always hoped.' That one day has become today as the ABBA-fueled, feel-good musical returns to its first home on Broadway, the Winter Garden Theatre. It reopens Thursday night. 'It's like when you go to visit the old place where you went to high school,' says Victor Wallace, who made his Broadway debut in the show in 2012, stayed to the final curtain in 2015 and has returned. 'There's so many backstage stories and people and I'm a little overwhelmed.' Fans have fueled the return of 'Mamma Mia!' to make it among the top earners on Broadway, last week grossing $1.57 million over seven previews, fourth behind only 'Wicked,' 'The Lion King' and 'Hamilton.' 'A time of peril' 'Mamma Mia!' endured plenty during its first Broadway life — wars, hurricanes, the 2008 financial meltdown, the move to a smaller theater and critics, who never warmed to the show's high-energy sweetness. A hit in London — where it is still playing — 'Mamma Mia!' opened in New York just a few weeks after the 2001 terror attacks when there was deep gloom and anxiety. Christine Sherrill, who recently toured as the show's mom and is now making her Broadway debut in the role, says audiences are responding to another time of stress. 'We're kind of in a time of peril again, where communities are divided. So to be able to go into some of these cities and have 3,000 people — who would never find themselves enjoying the same thing outside of the theater — sitting there all enjoying this communal experience is really interesting.' The show, featuring more than 20 classic ABBA hits, including 'Dancing Queen' and 'Waterloo,' has been a smash in dozens of countries, including South Korea, Italy, Denmark, South Africa and Spain. Craymer sees the data about the new flock of theatergoers and notes this 'Mamma Mia!' is popular with groups. 'There were people that had seen it on Broadway — probably when they were younger — and now coming back in their 20s and 30s and then bringing their daughters or family.' A Greek story is born Craymer decades ago approached members of ABBA and made her pitch: Instead of doing a musical about the band, she insisted that their songs help tell an original story. Craymer teamed up with playwright Catherine Johnson, and a story set on a Greek island was born about a young woman who is about to be married and wants her father to give her away. But she's not sure who he is, so she invites her mom's three former lovers to her wedding. The musical prompted Craymer to produce a movie version starring Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth, that became the fifth highest-grossing film of 2008. A sequel, 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again,' came out a decade later. ABBA's music continues to be the backdrop for numerous popular TikTok trends. In some way mirroring the joy onstage, backstage at 'Mamma Mia!' is a party backstage, too, with milestones celebrated, outings, door decorating contests and gatherings 'Because of the nature of the show, I think it just bleeds into life backstage and that joy that you see on stage, it just overflows into our lives,' says Wallace. Themes of the 'Mamma' Wallace, who started in the musical's ensemble and grew to play the young leading man, Sky, and now is one of the three possible dads, says the show is about friendship, parenthood, hope and second chances. 'It's always surprising how the show surprises you emotionally,' he says. 'It's a great time. It's fun. But I think people identify with these themes and these characters and I think that people are caught off guard as to how the show captures their heart and moves them.' Sherrill looks at the story through a mother's eyes and realizes she's a different person than she was before she had twins. She offers another theme. 'It's a lot about finding your identity,' she says. 'I think that appeals to people on all levels — all people, all levels. Everyone's trying to figure out who they are and what the best version of themselves is. So, I think, that's sort of a universal message that's really playing on people's heartstrings as well, at least mine.'

Bride sparks debate after revealing she's considering UNINVITING guests from wedding over reaction to her dress
A bride-to-be has sparked a debate online after revealing she's considering cutting guests from her wedding over their reaction to her dress. She opened up about it on Reddit under a subreddit called Bridezillas, explaining that she and her fiancé are planning a small, courthouse wedding followed by a dinner at a nearby restaurant to celebrate, with around 50 guests planning to come. Her choice of gown, the Reformation Vina dress in white, was meant to reflect the low-key, non-traditional vibe of the day. The simple mini dress is designed to 'to have a relaxed fit throughout,' per its website, and according to the bride, it looked perfect on her small frame. 'I'm short, and long/voluminous dresses tend to overwhelm me,' she wrote. 'Plus, I feel like, since it's my wedding, I get to decide what I'm wearing.' But when she excitedly shared dress choice with her find with family and friends, the mood soured. Her mother repeatedly urged her to find 'something else to wear,' her best friend questioned whether it was 'just' her courthouse dress, and others suggested she should pick another option entirely. 'I'm so tired of the criticism that I, someone who loves fashion and clothing, stopped sharing the rest of the outfit details with everyone,' the bride vented. 'Also, I think it's worth noting that I wasn't asking for feedback. I was sharing because I was excited. Now I'm just irritated.' She added: 'This is one of the first things I found besides the venue and décor that is wedding-related, so it's really taken the fun out of anything wedding planning-related.' The bride said she was disappointed by everyone's reactions, especially since in the past when her other family members or friends shared their own wedding dresses, she always 'matched their excitement and [was] supportive because they [were] happy.' She said that aside from her fiancé and her father, no one in her inner circle has supportive of her wedding dress choice, prompting her to regret showing the dress to her loved ones in the first place. And she's now even even reconsidering her guest list and might uninvite some people. 'I regret showing my dress to everyone else, and I will not be defending my choices to them. I'll probably just not share anything else moving forward,' she admitted. 'It's making me seriously reconsider the guest list as well. Am I overreacting?' After the bride shared her story online, strangers rallied by her side in the comment section, and many even gushed over the dress. 'Next time someone makes a comment, remind them they're not wearing the dress or getting married in it. And if it's so bad, they can't be nice and tell you you're beautiful, they can stay home,' one person wrote. Another was more blunt, telling her: 'Your family and friends sound like a**holes.' A third chimed in: 'These people are all being rude as f**k.' One user even posted a screenshot of the Reformation Vina dress she had described - a short, white mini that falls mid-thigh with spaghetti straps, a sheer mesh overlay, and a keyhole back with a delicate white button. The reveal sent commenters into overdrive. 'It's not ugly. I like it. It's simple and the focus will be on your love and not a $10,000 dress,' one fan said. 'Perfect for a courthouse wedding. Super cute,' agreed another. 'It's a really pretty dress. Perfect, and [the] best part: two important people in your life love it! Don't let the naysayers burst your bubbles,' someone else added. And one commenter offered a piece of advice for future brides-to-be, writing: 'Never show people your wedding dress before your wedding day, never tell anyone your baby names until the baby is here and named, never show anyone a house or a car you are buying until the deal is done. People are unhelpful and mean.'

Leonardo DiCaprio reveals 'biggest regret' from his career in honest admission
Leonardo DiCaprio has revealed the 'biggest regret' he has from his career in an honest admission. The Academy Award winner, 50, has starred in some of Hollywood's biggest hits, from Titanic to The Wolf Of Wall Street - but there's one job he regrets turning down. Speaking to Variety, Leo revealed that the movie he had to back out of was Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights. Leo had to pass on starring in the 1997 film because he was already signed on to play Jack Dawson in Titanic. Instead, Mark Wahlberg took on the role of Eddie Adams in Boogie Nights - which was nominated for three Oscars and deemed one of the best films of all time by Variety. Meanwhile Titanic was nominated for 14 Academy Awards and won 11. Leo said: 'I'll say it even though you're here: My biggest regret is not doing Boogie Nights, it was a profound movie of my generation. 'I can't imagine anyone but Mark in it. When I finally got to see that movie, I just thought it was a masterpiece.' The actor told GQ in 2008 that he wished he could have done both films but was forced to choose. It comes after Leo hinted he has finally settled down with his model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti in a new interview, after making some changes in his life since entering his fifties. The star, known for his lothario lifestyle, has always hit headlines with his relationships with model women all under the age of 25. Ever since he burst onto the big screen in the early 1990s, Leonardo has dated a never-ending conveyor belt of glamorous models and actresses, including Gigi Hadid, Gisele Bündchen and Bar Refaeli. Vittoria has seemingly broke Leo's rule of strictly dating women under the age of 25, as the pair's relationship continues to blossom. In a rare new interview with Esquire UK, Leonardo declared he is living by the new rules of always being 'honest' and more 'upfront' because he has 'no time to waste' at his age - which has been inspired by his beloved mother Irmelin Indenbirken, 82. Leo reflected on how there is 'much more life behind him now' than there is ahead of him as he discussed is expectations for the coming decades. Speaking in the unfiltered interview, Leo said: 'Turning 50 creates a feeling like you have a desire to just be more honest and not waste your time. 'I can only imagine how the next few decades are going to progress. 'I look at my mother, for example, and she just says exactly what she thinks and wastes no time. She spends no time trying to fake it.' Before Vittoria, he famously split from Camila Morrone after five years together in 2022, just a month after she turned 25. Detailing the importance of saying exactly how you feel, he explained: 'Being more upfront and risking having things fall apart or risking the disagreements or risking going your separate ways from any type of relationship in life. 'The personal, the professional — it's that you don't want to waste your time any more. 'You have to just be much more upfront. It's almost a responsibility, because much more of your life is behind you than it is ahead of you.' Leo famously dated model Gisele for five years starting when she was 18, to a five-year romance with Bar Refaeli that ended when she turned 25. The Hollywood star had also been linked to model Gigi after they fuelled romance speculation in September 2022. He was first linked to the model just weeks after his split from then-girlfriend Camila Morrone. But rumours were quickly squashed in February 2023, as a source told 'Leo is very single right now and he is not keen on the hype suggesting that he is seeking out these very young women.'
