Dara Torres Just Had Shoulder Surgery?!

Dara Torres left Beijing with her three silver medals in tow, and went almost straight to the operating room. This means the 41-year-old comeback kid mama — and hot mama at that — was swimming in pain. I couldn't tell, could you? Torres lost her signature race, the 50-meter freestyle sprint, by .01 seconds. She has a phenomenal swim, and now that I know Torres was dealing with degenerative Read more

Have You Ever Had Surgery?

I'll admit that I'm a huge fan of doctor shows like Grey's Anatomy and House — not that I think they're entirely accurate. I am intrigued by the diseases and entertained that the doctors can perform miraculous operations to make people healthy in just 60 minutes. Luckily, I haven't had to spend much time in hospitals, and the only surgery I've had was pretty minor. What about you . . . Source Read more

This isn't the first time we've heard of hospitals Read more

A G-Shot in Your G-Spot?

Although there is some debate as to whether or not the G-spot really exists, I'm a firm believer it does, and so is Dr. Matlock, a plastic surgeon known for his appearances on Dr. 90210. He and other cosmetic doctors are so sure of its existence that they have been giving G-shots in women's G-spots! What is a G-shot you might ask? Basically you have to spread em' as if you were going to get a Read more

Cheesy Strip Club Commercial

Like strip clubs themselves, this commercial doesn't leave much to the imagination. It lives up to its low-budget potential, though, and even adds a few misogynistic touches for good measure. Warning: you'll need a prescription for nausea after this one, folks. Read more

Uterus Transplants?

A New York hospital is taking steps to offer the first uterus transplant in the U.S. This is an amazing and radical surgery that may allow women whose wombs were removed to still bear children. The wombs would come from women who passed away, just as most organ transplants do. The woman would get the womb transplant, get pregnant (hopefully), and then give birth. After she gave birth, the Read more

Human Barbie on Anderson Cooper

On his daytime talk show yesterday, Anderson Cooper chatted with "human Barbie" Sarah Burge but couldn't stomach the Brit mom — who's spent $500K on plastic surgery — for long before kicking her off the show early. After talking to her about giving her 15-year-old daughter Botox, the breast implant vouchers she gave her 7-year-old, and the photos that were released of her daughter on a Read more

Plastic Surgery on Children Debate

The other day I asked what you thought of 7-year-old Samantha Shaw getting plastic surgery to correct her cup ears, and you had a lot to say on the issue in the comments and on Facebook. This specific case (which some of you liken to getting braces) isn't as extreme as if, for instance, Samantha was getting breast implants, and most of you agreed with me that mom may be causing more damage than Read more

Child Gets Plastic Surgery to Prevent Bullying

A 7-year-old getting plastic surgery sounds extreme, but the girl's mother says it's to prevent her from being bullied over her cup ears, one of which is a lop ear. When interviewed on Good Morning America the little girl, Samantha Shaw, said that she wasn't bullied, but the mom was adamant that she was, especially by adults. To me, it sounds like her mom's the one with the issue; maybe the Read more
