26 Good, Bad, and Downright Unkissable Celebrity Lips
Unless celebrities are trying to hide bad teeth or, worse yet, no teeth, I simply can't understand why some choose to inflate their lips to such a degree that their upper lip hugs both nostrils when they smile. According to plastic surgeon Dr. Tony Youn, CelebrityCosmeticSurgery.blogspot.com, lips are not meant to be the same size. "The lower lip," he explains, "should be about 1:5 times the size of the upper lip." Not 1:1. Below is a list of 26 celebrities who, at some point in their career, clearly failed to read Youn's lip service memo before scheduling an appointment with their doc.
According to AwfulPlasticSurgery.com, Aguilera fell victim to the lip-plumping craze in 2006. Although it appears the 26-year-old singer, songwriter, and five time Grammy award winner, is now opting for a more natural looking face, The National Enquirer reports Christina Aguilera's outfit at the Grammy Awards was her way of showing off the breast enlargement surgery she underwent two years ago. A friend of Christina's told the tabloid, "'Christina is no longer concealing the big-girl boobs she got from a plastic surgeon. At first she was hesitant to show off her new figure.'" I don't know about you, but if I had my own genie in a bottle, I would've asked for somethin' a little different.
42-year-old Rocker and Golden Globe-nominated actress Courtney Love has recently been making the news for her drastic weight loss.
On April 5, 2007, ThisLondon.co.uk reported, "The Hole front woman unveiled a dramatically slimmed down body on the beaches of Maui this week and is crediting her 44-pound-and-counting weight loss on a more positive outlook overall." Although the website offers plenty of pics, they fail to offer "the particular weight-loss program the former wife of dead rocker Kurt Cobain chose to shed the excess pounds."
No stranger to bad plastic surgery, on January 6, 2007, WildStarz.blogspot.com claimed Ms. Love underwent, "rhinoplasty and lip surgery during a pre-Christmas trip to France. Sources claim the star visited a surgeon in Paris, who specializes in fixing cosmetic disasters. A friend of Love, who has sported collagen-pumped lips for years, tells Us Weekly magazine, 'She's happy to have her mouth back.'... Asked if she had undergone surgery in France, Love said, 'I'm not going to comment on that tonight. I just think me looking human is cool.' Ironically, Love announced she'd be giving up plastic surgery as part of a list of New Year's Resolutions she posted on her new website. She vowed, 'No more surgery for any reason other than medical until I really need it in my 60s.'"
Why did Love blow up her lips in the first place? On March 19, 2006, HollywoodRag.com explained, "the troubled punk princess... may have had collagen injections for a full-lipped look to help get her career back on track." Now let's just hope Courtney's new lips keep her out of the courtroom, or her lawyer may just have to sew that ever changing mouth of hers shut.
51-year-old Italian fashion designer Donatella Versace is Vice-President of the Versace Group and Chief Designer of the fashion line that her late brother, Gianni Versace, made famous.
Bastardly.com believes Donatella's obsession with plastic surgery began soon after the murder of Gianni. According the website, Donatella has surgically altered her "lips, cheeks, eyes, nose & everything else Gucci Board of Directors would allow her to expense. [And] she did all of the above while lying inside a tanning bed."
"Donatella Versace is in the midst of a lip collagen disaster!" exclaimed AwfulPlasticSurgery.com in a 2004 post. "Her lips have blown up twice their original size."
Cinebizarre.com claims the 43-year-old Emmanuelle Béart was a "plausible choice as most beautiful woman alive, at least until she went collagen crazy recently and got what the catty European press delights in referring to as 'duck lips.
Heidi "Duck Lips" Fleiss
41-year-old Heidi Lynne Fleiss, more commonly referred to as the "Hollywood Madam", was released from a California prison in 1999 after serving 21 months for money laundering, tax evasion and attempted pandering. As reported by CrimeLibrary.com, "Fleiss was convicted in 1995 of running a prostitution ring in which models-turned-prostitutes were flown around the world to meet wealthy actors and clients who paid as much as $10,000 for a single meeting."
Not long after her release from jail, as reported by GibbsMagazine.com, Fleiss was quoted as saying she had undergone cosmetic surgery on her lips, ears, eyes, and breasts. "'Being in prison with no skin care really does a number on you,' she said. 'You're out in that recreation yard with the sun beating down on you. It really ages you prematurely.'"
According to Heidi's website, HeidiFleiss.com, "Heidi, now lives in Crystal, Nevada where she is opening Heidi's Stud Farm, the first luxury brothel where women can pick and choose the man of their dreams." Although to my knowledge the brothel is not yet open for business, as of October 2006, Heidi's website claims her latest business venture is moving forward.
Janice Dickinson
52-year-old Janice Dickinson is the self-proclaimed first American supermodel, fashion photographer, actress and author. She has also recently opened her own modeling agency, the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency. According to the HollywoodRag, the "former model has admitted to the following procedures: tummy tuck, two breast enhancements, a brow lift, a mini face lift, upper and lower eye lifts, liposuction, fat grafting to her cheeks, a chemical peel, Botox every six weeks, and porcelain veneers on her teeth."
In a May 2006 post on CelebrityCosmeticSurgery, Michigan-based Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Tony Youn offers up his explanation for Ms. Dickinson's unnaturally large lips.
"In my opinion," Youn says, "the only way to get lips that big and stiff-looking is through an implant. The most common implants that I see are made of Gore-tex, which I have in my winter jacket. Because they are not a patient's own tissue (like fat) or absorbable liquid (like collagen or Restylane), they often do not look as realistic, and can make the lips look more stiff than typical lips. This is most apparent when a person speaks or smiles."
As reported by BuddyTV.com, Dickinson has written several books including No Lifeguard On Duty, Everything About Me is Fake... And I'm Perfect, and Check Please!: Dating, Mating, and Extricating. As a model, she appeared on the cover of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, Cosmopolitan and Playboy among others. Her popularity escalated with her stint as a judge on America's Next Top Model, and as a housemate on the fifth season of The Surreal Life where she constantly butted heads with original The Apprentice diva Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth.
According the San Francisco Chronicle, last month Ms. Dickinson was banned from LA Fashion Week after refusing to take her allocated seat at one of the shows. Dickinson then "caused a scene backstage" when she stuck her foot in a giant tub of ice after claiming a model "broke her toe."

Jenna Jameson
According to Forbes.com, 32-year-old porn star Jenna Jameson "has transcended the sex trade to become a bona fide celebrity, hounded by the tabloids and fervid fans." Her memoir, "How to Make Love Like a Porn Star", spent six weeks on the New York Times bestseller list in 2004.
Dr. DiSaia, CosmeticSurgeryTruth.blogspot.com, stated in a February 27, 2007 post that, "she looks too thin with lips looking like a bit too much filler has been applied." These days, however, Jenna's other lips are the ones making headlines.
MakeMeHeal.com recently reported that Jameson has not been showing up to her Hollywood studio meetings because of an ill-fated vaginoplasty that has left her very unhappy with the results. Since the vaginoplasty, the star has allegedly gone into hiding until her valuable privates heal or are re-done.
"Dr. David Matlock, the leading surgeon for vaginoplasties, was previously interviewed by Make Me Heal about vaginoplasties and explains: 'We perform two categories of procedures, laser vaginal rejuvenation (LVR) for the enhancement of sexual gratification and designer laser vaginoplasty (DLV) for the aesthetic enhancement of the vulva structures. LVR is primarily for women who have had children and as a result of childbirth they are experiencing vaginal relaxation. This vaginal relaxation results in decreased sexual gratification for the female. LVR enhances vaginal muscle tone, strength and control. It also decreases the internal and external vaginal diameters and builds up the perineal body (the area outsets the vagina and above the anus). DLV consist of numerous aesthetic procedures of the vulvar structures. The most requested is laser reduction labioplasty of the labia minora. The laser procedure sculptures down the labia minora. Women state that they don't want the labia minora to project beyond the labia majora (large outer lips). We can perform most anything one desires of the vulvar structures (reduction of the labia majora, liposculpturing of the fatty mons pubis and labia majora, autologous fat transplant to the labia majora to enhance them, correct deformities, combination procedures (LVR plus DLV).'"
