Michelle Visage opens up on 'very scary' plastic surgery decisions
Michelle Visage thinks plastic surgery can be a "very scary thing" to consider. The 56-year-old star had her own breast implants removed in 2019 and, as the host of Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind, she is now dealing with celebrity influencers who regret their own decisions to go under the knife. She told E! News: "I think there's people in this show, in this house, that were considering this, and it's a very scary thing. And Dr Dubrow can tell you how he's gonna do it, but he didn't actually have breast implants removed, and I have walked that walk. "It is a perfect fit because I have been there and I love all these people in the house, and it just felt like the right thing for me." The RuPaul's Drag Race judge is completely on board with the "trend" of opening up about plastic surgery regrets, and is hopeful that her efforts will stop the younger generations from being so quick to alter their appearance. She said: "I love that that trend is happening now because plastic surgery regret is a real, actual thing. And the more that we talk about it, the more that the next generation can see 'Oh, maybe I'm gonna hold off and wait...' because I'm telling you - what you get at 21 or 22 is totally different at 46 or 56." However, Michelle noted that some participants in the reality show have to weigh up a reversal of their plastic surgery even though they "make a living" from how they look. She added: "I think all of them knew what they have done but a lot of them had concerns of 'If I change this...' For example, Larissa and Sophia make their money with it. So they were afraid if they go smaller then they might not make as much money as they do for a living. Hollywood is no joke, man!"

Brielle Biermann Compares Lip Fillers To Getting A Soda
Brielle Biermann, the daughter of Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak, opened up about her experiences with non-surgical cosmetic procedures, and it's alarming. Brielle is one of the celebrities and influencers who will appear on Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind, a show hosted by Michelle Visage, where they will work with a plastic surgeon, Dr. Terry Dubrow, and psychotherapist, Dr. Spirit, PhD, to evaluate if they want to revise their cosmetic procedures or keep getting more work done. Other participants include Danity Kane singer Aubrey O'Day, Love and Hip Hop Atlanta star Jessica Dime, influencers Sofia Elgerabli, Sebastian Bails, Alan McGarry, and 90 Day Fiancé star Larissa Santos Lima. Talking with Dr. Dubrow in a promotional segment, Brielle, now 28 years old, discussed how she developed her habit of cosmetic work from her mom, Kim. "I had just turned 18 when I first got my lips done." "I graduated high school and the second I graduated, my mom took me to L.A. and I got my lips done by the doctor that everybody was getting their lips done all the time," she said. When Dr. Dubrow asked if there was any hesitation from the doctor because of her age, she said, "No. It was like, 'Get in the chair, let's go.'" Brielle received lip filler a bunch of times and even began to receive filler placed underneath her eyes and in her cheeks, although her mom was against it. "I told her to never do that under her eyes," her mom told Dr. Dubrow. "Sometimes you gotta let them go and learn on their own, even though I was like, 'Please don't.'" Now, Brielle's attitude toward getting filler underneath her eyes has changed. Admitting she was no longer happy with the work, she pointed out which parts under her eyes were puffy. "One side is definitely more full than the other," she told the doctor. The social media personality acknowledged that her habits around cosmetic enhancements were something she learned from her mother and people around her. "I was always going with her to her doctors' appointments. I feel like she was mostly getting every laser she could think of to remain youthful, but then every month, 'I'm like I need to get my lips done.'" "Filler became like getting a Diet Coke. The under-eye filler became an insecurity that I didn't even know I really had," Brielle added. "My mom was always going to get botox and lip filler, and watching my mom go through this made it seem normal," she continued. "I get hit up by tons of doctors for free surgeries, free injections. Anything I felt like I could go fix, I would go and I would fix it." Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind premieres on E! on July 9 and will be available on Peacock starting July 16th.

Real Housewives star slams speculation she paid to get daughter into Yale six years after college admission scandal
A Real Housewives star is denying insinuations she and her spouse forked over money to have their daughter accepted into an Ivy League school. The Real Housewives of Orange County, 56, chat with Us Weekly on Friday in regard to the issue after an Instagram user asked her the size of the donation she made to the school, to which she replied, '$0.' 'That ship sailed a long time ago,' the reality star told the outlet more than six years after Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin were charged in a college admission scandal that ultimately led to convictions and jail sentences for both actresses. 'Even if I wanted to pay, that's not a thing,' the New York City-born Bravo star, who has 1.7 million followers on Instagram, told the magazine. Dubrow, who's been wed to husband Terry since 1999, chat with the outlet at the 32nd Annual Race to Erase MS Gala, which was held in Los Angeles at Fairmont Century Plaza. Dubrow also provided a specific example of how she's avoided trying to get her kids a leg up in the educational system, pointing out a decision she made years back with her twins. She said, 'I'll tell you a quick story - when the twins got into kindergarten, that process of private school kindergarten was so ridiculous to me and upsetting and it gave me so much anxiety [that I said], "I'm never doing this again.' 'So I told all the kids when they got to high school, "If you want choices, study, and here's your guidance counselor and do your best. I'll be your cheerleader, but I'm not fighting with you. This is your life. It's up to you." And that's exactly what we've done.' Dubrow took to the site Sunday with a post alongside her spouse, writing, 'Date night… but make it preventative care reminder that colon health is self-care. She said on Instagram. Schedule yours. (Part 1 of 2—yes, there's more ) **** for everyone asking the prep was CLENPIQ **. Dubrow added the hashtags #datenight, #husbandwife, #selfcare #colonoscopy #coloncancerawareness #husbandwifegoals and #colonhealth.

Brandi Glanville rushed to hospital amid health issues after being unable to move her head and neck
Real Housewives alum Brandi Glanville was rushed to the hospital after being unable to move her head and neck earlier this week. Glanville is currently in the midst of an unknown health condition, which has led to facial disfigurement. The 52-year-old told her followers about the latest incident on X on Tuesday, writing, 'My head and neck would not move for four hours this morning. I could not get out of my bed. 'I called 911, had a lovely trip in the ambulance. Now I am at this amazing place after sitting in a wheelchair in the waiting room for four hours.' Glanville, who has been battling health issues for years now, followed up her original post with a picture of an IV in her arm and a snapshot of her hospital bill. 'I hate this place but should be another fun ambulance bill,' she wrote in the caption. On Thursday, she confirmed she was discharged from the hospital. She said: 'Hey kitty kats fresh off yesterdays ER VISIT Ive decided to go live on IG with my future daughter in law & fellow Irishman Sarah D on IG live tonight at 6:30 p.m. to talk about our eBay shop.' Glanville's hospital visit comes a year after the on-screen star revealed she'd spent $70,000 trying to treat what doctors initially thought was a parasite in her face that led to severe disfigurement. At the time, she told Entertainment Tonight: 'Honestly, I have so many doctors and I've had so many tests. I did lab work for $10,000. They ran every test under the sun. They're like, 'It could be a parasite that's new.' 'I've been on meds this whole year. I don't socialize,' she said. 'I don't go out and I'm just spending all of my money on trying to figure out what's wrong with me.' In January, Glanville said she tapped Botched co-host Dr. Terry Dubrow to help determine the cause of her condition after her other doctors were unsuccessful. Dr. Dubrow took four 'tiny biopsies' from her face and her neck, which led him to believe the disfigurement was caused by 'an infectious process or a foreign body reaction to something she's had injected.' He told TMZ: 'There are these two kinds of microorganisms, one's called a Microbacterium and the other is called a fungus, and they can be very difficult to treat and could take six to 12 months of antibiotics to treat. 'Every minute the microorganism is allowed to stay in her skin and do potential damage she could suffer worse for it,' he continued. 'It could be more difficult to treat and she could form more scars and more nodules.' Even with Dr. Dubrow's diagnosis, Glanville's condition worsened. In March, she told her followers her face was 'worse than ever.' She took to X over the weekend to share how her facial lumps have been excreting liquid that is oozing down to her teeth. 'I have painful lumps ... in jaw bone area on side of neck & in back of neck. I have chills & constant oily fowl [sic] tasting drainage from face into mouth it's acidic & is eating away at my teeth plus all of my lymph nodes in head & neck are swollen,' she wrote. She also wrote: 'I've been faking it. I'm f***ing miserable. My face is worse than ever. It's literally melted away.' Glanville added: 'When drs at cedars put me on IV antibiotics & fungal medication I was getting better I looked normal but I couldn't afford to stay on them. I was forced to see drs outside my insurance because the drs at Kaiser had no clue. I need my life to change. That is my real life health update.'

Brandi Glanville Cries For Help Amid Continued Facial Disfiguration: 'Drs At Kaiser Say I'm Fine'
Brandi Glanville does not agree with her doctors' opinion on the strange health issues disfiguring her face. The Bravo star continues to deal with the mystery illness that took over her face and has seemingly advanced into a more severe health condition. Brandi Glanville experienced a very brief breakthrough last year following Dr. Terry Dubrow's intervention in her condition, but things seem to have taken a downward turn now. The "RHOBH" star took to the social media platform to share her symptoms, indicating that she is far from being healed. Glanville wrote: "I have painful lumps in jaw bone area on side of neck & in back of neck I have chills & A constant oily fowl tasting drainage from face into mouth it's acidic & is eating away at my teeth plus all of my lymph nodes in head & neck are swollen. Drs at Kaiser say I'm fine :/HELP ME." [sic] The post has gained lots of traction from concerned fans who urged her to seek more helpful medical options. "Contact @MayoClinic best hospital in the USA for abnormal and rare diseases and illnesses," this commenter shared. Another X user added, "Have you tried ivermectin and fenbanzole? I'm not a doctor but have read on their effectiveness with parasites. Do your own research though." On her "Kaiser," part of the tweet, one follower who has seemingly experienced a bad experience with the facility described it as "THE WORST!" The commenter urged the TV star to "Find a different insurance if you can. They almost killed my baby and had me on medicine that was making extremely ill for months. If you can't change then ask a nurse what doctors they recommend. The nurses know it all."[sic] In a previous report by The Blast, Dr. Dubrow provided an update on Glanville's ongoing facial issues, which have persisted due to a mystery illness. Despite their efforts, the plastic surgeon explained that they were yet to find a permanent solution. Dubrow indicated that Glanville will undergo a surgical tissue sampling, which he hopes will reveal the underlying cause of her symptoms. After initially hesitating to seek his help, Glanville finally placed her full trust in Dr. Dubrow, especially after experiencing significant improvement from his treatment last December. She could not wait to show off her positive results shortly after on Instagram, where she confidently posed in a hot pink bikini while enjoying a cocktail. Glanville could not stop her admiration for Dubrow, as she emphasized that her collaborating with him was a clear choice due to his expertise in plastic surgery and medical challenges. She also voiced her openness to working with qualified professionals who can offer a conclusive diagnosis for her condition. The media personality's new fine about Dubrow marked a significant change in her stance, as she had previously deemed the medic unsuitable for her needs. She declined his offer of assistance last December due to the daunting prospect of a five-year recovery period. Glanville admitted that the lengthy recovery was overwhelming for her, revealing on her "Brandi Glanville Unfiltered" podcast that her facial issues had adversely affected her social life and intimate relationships for more than a year. "Five years is way too long for me to wait. I have sh-t to do. I have places to go, people to make out with. I have not had sex since last October. I haven't kissed [or] made out with anyone. I haven't socialized, really," she explained. Dubrow, an experienced beauty specialist, suggested to Glanville that her issues might be linked to microorganisms introduced into her bloodstream via an injection. Dubrow added that her disfigured face could be a result of two types of microorganisms as he stressed the urgent need for medical attention. He described her condition as a "ticking time bomb." Additionally, the medic warned the reality show star that the longer the dangerous microorganisms remained in her system, the more severe the damage to her face would become. He noted that if action was not taken swiftly, it could lead to more extensive scarring and nodules in her body. The "Botched" star expressed his willingness to help Glanville if she struggled to find a trustworthy doctor. As always, Glanville has remained active, sharing her health episodes and struggles on social media, especially regarding her facial deformity. Last year, The Blast reported that she urged her fans to keep her in their prayers after posting a picture on her Instagram story that showed her visibly swollen face. In a statement on her X page, she expressed her frustration, revealing that she has spent nearly the past year and a half in and out of hospitals, exhausting her finances in the search for a diagnosis. Glanville mentioned various potential diagnoses for her condition, including a parasite and stress-induced edema, but she humorously attributed her issues to Bravo, the network behind her reality show. This statement follows her earlier criticisms of Bravo, where she expressed how the situation has led to her feelings of misery and depression. In her previous posts, she highlighted her appearance's negative impact on her ability to work and urged her followers to prioritize their health and well-being. When will Brandi Glanville discover a lasting solution to this nasty facial problem?
