Jamie Lee Curtis is ‘prepping' to leave Hollywood as she slams plastic surgery as ‘genocide'
Jamie Lee Curtis said she's preparing to leave the spotlight – in part thanks to her experience of watching her famous parents' careers as they aged, and thanks to watching plastic surgery take off. 'I witnessed my parents lose the very thing that gave them their fame and their life and their livelihood, when the industry rejected them at a certain age,' Curtis, 66, told The Guardian, in an interview published on Sunday. 'I watched them reach incredible success and then have it slowly erode to where it was gone,' she added. 'And that's very painful.' The Halloween star'sfamous parents were Janet Leigh – who was in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, and Tony Curtis (Some Like It Hot). Leigh died in 2004 at age 77, while Tony Curtis died in 2010 at age 85. They were married from 1951 until their 1962 divorce. Curtis also slammed plastic surgery as being 'the genocide of a generation of women by the cosmeceutical industrial complex, who've disfigured themselves.' The Last Showgirl actress has been married to British actor Christopher Guest since 1984, and shares daughters Ruby, 29, and Annie, 38, with him. 'I believe that we have wiped out a generation or two of natural human (appearance),' she explained. 'The concept that you can alter the way you look through chemicals, surgical procedures, fillers – there's a disfigurement of generations of predominantly women who are altering their appearances.' She blasted AI as aiding and abetting this, 'because now the filter face is what people want. I'm not filtered right now. The minute I lay a filter on and you see the before and after, it's hard not to go: 'Oh, well that looks better.' But what's better? Better is fake.' Curtis did not name names of celebs who have admitted to getting plastic surgery, such as the Kardashians. 'There are too many examples – I will not name them – but very recently we have had a big onslaught through media, many of those people,' she stated. Despite her plans to step back from the spotlight, Curtis still has a recent slew of hot projects, as well as upcoming movies and TV shows. She finally won an Oscar in 2023 (for Best Supporting Actress in Everything Everywhere All At Once), and has a recurring side role as Carmy's (Jeremy Allen White) mother in the Emmy-winning drama The Bear, which has been renewed for a Season 5. She's also in the Freaky Friday sequel Freakier Friday (hitting Aussie cinemas August 7), and she recently confirmed that she will take over the late Angela Lansbury's iconic role of Jessica Fletcher in a Murder, She Wrote reboot. Coming up, she'll film Ella McCay alongside Woody Harrelson and her The Bear co-star Ayo Edebiri (premiering in December) and will star in the Prime Video series Scarpetta with Nicole Kidman (which doesn't have an announced premiere date yet). 'I have been self-retiring for 30 years. I have been prepping to get out, so that I don't have to suffer the same as my family did,' she told The Guardian. 'I want to leave the party before I'm no longer invited.' 'I have become quite brusque,' the True Lies actress added. 'And I have no problem saying: 'Back the f**k off.''

Phoebe Kay is not your average nepo baby! Tess and Vernon's daughter is forging her own path at university - but is still making a splash at A-list events and jet-setting around the world
While most nepo babies find themselves thrust into the limelight from a young age, Phoebe Kay had no idea her parents were even famous while she was growing up. 'I thought everyone's job was filmed,' the eldest daughter of iconic couple Vernon Kay and Tess Daly told The Sun last year, as she joined her father for her first ever magazine shoot and interview. Her parents felt it was best to keep Phoebe and her younger sister, Amber, now 15, shielded from their celebrity until they could decide whether they 'wanted to be in the spotlight ot not', the former T4 host, Vernon, added. 'Phoebe is very mature,' he continued. 'I've got confidence she will know how to deal with it.' If her most recent outing at Wimbledon is any clue, Phoebe, 20, is a natural at handling her growing celebrity status - as the jet-setting university student juggles her studies with red carpet appearances, and glamorous family holidays. Fans were convinced they were seeing double when Tess' lookalike daughter arrived in SW19 with Vernon to cheer the men's singles finalists last week. Phoebe, who splits her time between London and Dubai, was poised and graceful while being surrounded by Hollywood elite and royalty at one of the world's biggest sporting tournaments. Between these high-profile events and luxe holidays, the film production student is increasingly also earning her chops as an influencer - as Phoebe documents her enviable lifestyle to a steadily rising follower base. John Wick movie premiere in London It's a rite of passage for most nepo babies, but Phoebe made her red carpet debut much later than others - waiting until 2023 when she attended the movie premiere of John Wick Chapter 4 in London's Leicester Square. Phoebe, then 18, looked stylish in a white draped shirt with a pair of shiny black pleather trousers with split hems. She added a few extra inches of height to her frame with a pair of black strappy high heels as she walked arm-in-arm with her father, Vernon. Their outing came after the presenter, then 48, said he doesn't want his children to live off his and wife Tess Daly's fame, insisting they form 'their own careers.' He told MailOnline he's currently looking at drama schools to send Phoebe to where she can combine her passions for acting and business. Ibiza party with Calvin Harris While most parents might celebrate the end of their child's A-levels with a pat on the back and takeout, Vernon treated his daughter to a holiday in the world's party capital in June 2023. No expense was spared for their father-daughter trip that included a stay at the luxurious Casa Maca hotel where rooms cost upward of £1,000 per night. The itinerary for Vernon and Phoebe's Spanish getaway included an evening at the glamorous Ushuaïa beach club, where the pair partied with superstar DJ Calvin Harris. Documenting their vacation on Instagram, Vernon said it was 'a proud moment' to be able to take Phoebe to Ibiza to 'celebrate [the] end of A levels' alongside photos from their time at the exclusive night club. In one picture, Vernon and Phoebe can be seen posing in front of a massive stage while surrounded by concertgoers. The radio star appears to be holding a glass of bubbly in one hand and a bottle of water in the other. Phoebe, who can be seen raising her glass, was typically stylish as she embraced festival style in an ivory-coloured denim skirt that she paired with a white cut-out t-shirt. Another photo showed Vernon posing for a selfie with Calvin, who is married to Vick Hope, while a third depicted what appears to be the open-air restaurant at the five-star resort where Phoebe celebrated the end of school. They also seemingly joined actress Emily Atack for dinner one night, as The Inbetweeners star shared a series of snaps from her holiday on Instagram. In one picture, Phoebe and Vernon can be seen posing together while seated at a table laden with cold cuts and cheese. While Vernon kept cool in a white linen shirt, Phoebe opted to wear a one-shoulder, silver outfit as they both smiled for the camera. Barely one month later, Vernon and Phoebe joined Tess and Amber for a sun-soaked family holiday in California in the United States. The former T4 presenter, once again, took to Instagram to share some of the highlights of their trip - including horseback riding by the beach - as he captioned his post: 'California, you were awesome!' One of the photos showed Phoebe and her younger sister Amber, then 14, exploring a collection of shallow rock pools while their parents watched from above. Phoebe appeared to reminisce about the family holiday in a post on her own Instagram the following June, when she shared two pictures of herself outside a buzzy Californian restaurant with the caption: 'Throwback to some travels.' A neon sign behind Phoebe, whose accessories included a festival wrist band, sunglasses, and a Christian Dior shoulder bag, read 'Drake's' - meaning Drake's Hollywood, where tables are highly sought-after. Phoebe's famous mother also gushed about the 'best trip ever' as Tess left a comment under her Instagram post. A neon sign behind Phoebe, whose accessories included a festival wrist band, sunglasses, and a Christian Dior shoulder bag, read 'Drake's' - meaning Drake's Hollywood, where tables are highly sought-after BAFTA parties in London When Phoebe and Vernon aren't partying up a storm in Ibiza, they're rubbing shoulders with the who's who of British television - with the university student having walked the red carpet at two star-studded BAFTA parties in quick succession. The first time was in 2024 when Phoebe, then 19, joined her famous father at the glitzy Vanity Fair EE Rising Star Party last February. She looked every bit a movie star herself as Phoebe donned a silver, midi-length dress for the occasion as Vernon kept a 'watchful eye' over his daughter at the event at London's Four Seasons hotel. However, he needn't have worried as Phoebe, channeling her mother, appeared calm, composed, and graceful while posing for photographs. A source told Hello! magazine that father-daughter duo spent the evening mingling with guests like Emily Atack, Katherine Ryan, Ed McVey, and Matt and Emma Willis. 'At one point,' they said, 'Matt even took pictures of the pair in front of the iconic BAFTA statue.' Dubai Phoebe looked every bit a movie star herself as she attended the Vanity Fair EE Rising Star Party in London last year, when she donned a silver, midi-length dress for the occasion as Vernon kept a 'watchful eye' over his daughter In March, Phoebe accompanied Tess to Dubai for a girls' trip as the mother-daughter duo checked into the opulent Rixos The Palm Dubai hotel for an unforgettable holiday. While Tess's work commitments kept her busy, Phoebe spent her time off lounging by infinity pools, sampling the city's nightlife, treating herself to brunch at some of Dubai's most exclusive restaurants, and showing off her most enviable holiday looks. Wimbledon appearances Phoebe has now attended two, consecutive Wimbledon men's finals, as the film production student dazzled SW19 during her most recent appearance. The 20-year-old looked chic in a lime green, strappy, midi dress that was a nod to the colour of the tennis ball, as Phoebe took her seat beside Vernon at Centre Court on the same day that the Prince and Princess of Wales attended the tournament. Other famous faces included Nicole Kidman, Andrew Scott, Paul Mescal, Anna Wintour, Helen Mirren, Matthew McConaughey, and London mayor Sadiq Khan, who all watched as Jannik Sinner defeated Carlos Alcaraz to be crowned champion. Phoebe styled her blonde locks in loose waves that fell past her shoulders as fans couldn't help compare Phoebe to Tess in comments on Instagram. Several fans also directly messaged Phoebe to inquire about the brand of her dress, believed to be from Zara, while others praised her relationship with her father. 'The love you all have for each other always shines through,' one Instagram user wrote. Phoebe and Vernon also attended last year's edition of the tennis tournament together, as it appears watching the Wimbledon finals together has become a cherished father-daughter tradition. Shortly after attending the Henley festival with Tess and Vernon, Phoebe took to her Instagram Stories to give her followers a sneak-peek into her next holiday. Phoebe looked ultra-glamorous in a red maxi dress, with a side slit and plunging neckline, as she shared a photograph taken shortly after arriving in Cannes. She captioned the snap: 'Back to the best place...'
