Has Courtney Love Had a Stem Cell Facelift?

The Daily Mail is reporting that Courtney Love has undergone a stem cell facelift in the Manhattan office of a Facial Plastic Surgeon. Photos show that she certainly looks better than she has in a long time. But are her looks really due to a stem cell facelift?

Stem cell facelifts are definitely the future of facial plastic surgery. The idea behind the procedure is that stem cells are removed from liposuction fat and reinjected into the face. Because stem cells are extremely youthful cells which can transform into new cells in the location they are transplanted, they can theoretically create newer, younger looking skin. At this time, the machines to separate stem cells from fat are not currently FDA approved for cosmetic purposes. Therefore, the closest thing we have to a stem cell facelift in the United States is a 3-D Volumetric Facelift, a.k.a. a facelift with fat grafting. I, along with three other prominent plastic surgeons, introduced this procedure five years ago in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal. Since then, several plastic and cosmetic surgeons have introduced this procedure as their own.

Courtney Love Quits Plastic Surgery...Because of Jocelyn Wildenstein?

Courtney Love has apparently sworn off plastic surgery after seeing "The Lion Woman" Jocelyn Wildenstein up close. According to Zimbio.com:

Love ran into the 63-year-old socialite recently and was shocked at the way Wildenstein looked after $4 million worth of cosmetic procedures. Jocelyn is rumored to have had everything from a face lift and lip implants to cheek, chin and breast implants. Courtney said, "I could do with another boob lift, but no way. I don't want to end up looking like her. She looked freaky."

I sometimes see patients who've had grossly overdone facial plastic surgery for consultation. Most people would be surprised at how many of these patients don't want corrective surgery, but are there to get more changes made. These are the ones who can 'scare' off new patients in the waiting room. Can you imagine walking into your plastic surgeon's office and seeing Jocelyn Wildenstein waiting to be seen too? Would you turn around and leave?

Trainwreck Tara Reid Resurfaces in Bali

Trashtastic hot mess Tara Reid has resurfaced again, this time in Bali for a bikini shoot. Unfortunately, as one can see from the photos, no amount of plastic surgery, lipo, spray tan, or hair bleach can cover up the mess That is Tara Reid.

I hope she doesn't think this is a comeback for herself. She looks just as bad as Courtney Love after her recent drastic weight loss.

Courtney and Kate: Pot + Kettle = Very, Very Black

One of the biggest messes in the history of celebritydom won't buy the home of the other biggest mess, because the house is such a big mess. In other words, Courtney Love has backed out of buying a house from Kate Moss because it is too "dark and depressing", and needs too much work.

The former Hole singer, who looked around Kate's north London property once before, backed out of plans to purchase the mansion after a second inspection left her "horrified".

Courtney is said to have told friends the three-bedroom house wasn't worth the $7 million price tag because it is in such poor condition.

One pal told Britain's Sunday Mirror newspaper, "Courtney had a viewing and wasn't convinced, but Kate persuaded her to take a second look. That was when Courtney noticed the house was in a state - with scratched floors and old-looking plug sockets. She said it was a mess and she would need to clean it up.

"Courtney said the magnolia and pink walls made the house look depressing and sterile. She told Kate the house wasn't worth $7 million because of the redecorating."

The 43-year-old rocker even disapproved of the supermodel's art collection, which includes a print of the late Sex Pistols rocker Sid Vicious and a vampire painting.

The source added, "There was a painting of Sid Vicious in the bathroom, which Kate said was valuable, and she offered to throw it in. But Courtney said she couldn't bathe with Sid hanging over her."

Yeah, because I'm sure Courtney Love is the paragon of good taste, and a house purchased from her would be in pristine condition, and artfully decorated.

Bruce Willis Liplocks Courtney Love for Birthday

Ben Widdicombe's Gatecrasher reports that Bruce Willis and Courtney Love engaged in a full on makeout session to help celebrate Willis' 52nd birthday.

The unlikely couple were spotted in flagrante canoodle March 19 at the Roxy nightclub on Sunset Blvd. "They were full-on making out," laughs a witness.

The venue was packed for a 9 p.m. performance by boozy Brit rocker Amy Winehouse.

But it doesn't look like Rumer, Scout and Tallulah are getting a new stepmom just yet. Another source says Willis carried on the rest of the evening without Love by his side.

Okay, I definitely just threw up in my mouth a little bit while picturing that.

X-17 Shows Love's New Low

Greasy Bear is "Assinine Bear"

Brandon "Greasy Bear" Davis made a total ass of himself at Paris Hilton's birthday party, insulting guests, breaking glasses, and throwing objects. Two targets in particular, Paula Abdul and Courtney Love, exited the festivities early, and the scene left Paris in tears.

The evening started at Prime Grill in Beverly Hills, where guests included Abdul, Love, Davis, Stavros Niarchos, Nicole Richie, Joel Madden, Hilton's parents, and more. Around 10pm, Davis, who was visibly intoxicated, began haranguing Paula Abdul, alternately throwing flowers at her and then ridiculing her heritage by speaking gibberish in a faux Arabic accent. Abdul, who was supposed to sing Happy Birthday to Paris, left the party early before singing, when Davis began throwing Styrofoam flower cups at her. Then Davis grabbed Courtney Love, picked her up and had her straddling his waist, while he screamed "I wanna squirt on you!" and dry humped her. All this in front of Love's daughter, Frances Bean. Courtney and Frances also exited early, leaving through the kitchen. After breaking glasses and knocking over candles on the table, Davis was "encouraged to leave".

The party then moved to Hilton's house, where Davis had the cajones to show up and invite himself in. Security kept him downstairs, where he was kept away from Paris for the rest of the evening.

Love Refutes 'American Idol' Rumors

Source: Tabloid Whore
Courtney Love wasted no time in responding to US Weekly's article saying that 'American Idol' producers had contacted her to guest on the judging panel. She says "This kerfuffle is NONSENSE." Yes, that's right, she said kerfuffle. Is that a word?

Anyway, here is the post from Love's website, hideous spelling included:

court said on 30 Jan 2007 at 7:47 pm
"This kerfuffle is NONSENSE, i said to a friend who obviously passed igt on the wrong way that it was awierdly brilliant PRANK CALL, if it was NOT a prank call i woul dnever ever do that, ive never watche dthat show except once with my daughter i went to the final night, I couldnt even get ON that show nor would i wantt o and no offense to anyone who has been on that show and wantsto be on that show- i have no interest at this point in my life, im interested in putting this record out- doing films and doiung rock shows this summer and being on the road, and thats what i shall do. US misrepresented and misquoted me and nothing i said was ever meant for any publication. I didnt kn ow it wa sgoing to be a big deal but then again ive been very busy and id ont exactly pay attention to pop culture and id ont read tabloids and idont have a google alert i find lofe fAr easier without those things, good reviews are great biut baqd ones suck and its best to nopt read them at all, i like how Ben Kingsley hasnt readhis own press in 2w0 some years, and i aspire to that- last time i read my press was a Brit piece that had me in bed for three dayus and is wor eoff reading my own press after that, of ocuerse i needmy publicist to tell me who to speak to and who nit to but my days of speaking directly to editors etc are behind me- i was followed by paparazzi all day today and have had to get armed security for the evening so we can have some privacy die to that dumb piece wich is ourt of prder an dout of context its TOTALLY RANDOM."

Courtney Love Next American Idol Trainwreck?

According to US Weekly, Courtney Love has confirmed that she has received a call from producers of American Idol asking if she would like to sit in at the judging table. Idol has a standing tradition of having guest judges sit in occasionally, the most recent being Jewel and Carol Bayer Sager.

Love declined to reveal any more details, but a source tells US that Idol is actually fishing for a replacement for Paula Abdul, and Love is under consideration.

What the hell?? Sure Paula has been a bit out of it lately, but why on earth would you replace her with someone who could just as easily show up to work with a needle stuck in her arm, if she shows up at all? On top of that, I'm not exactly sure that her new "surgically enhanced" face is camera friendly enough.

Love Tries E-Harmony
