Juliette Lewis thinks women are to obsessed with phyiscal appearance
Juliette Lewis thinks women are too obsessed with their physical appearance.
The singer-and-actress believes too many ladies only have cosmetic surgery to make themselves more desirable to men and believes women should concentrate on fulfilling their ambitions and making the most of their skills instead.
Juliette, 35, said: "I want girls to start thinking about what they have to say, what do they have to contribute to their families, to other people, to society?
"It's fine if you want to be desirable to your man, that's sweet. But when people are carving their skin and putting plastic or whatever into their chest, to be more desirable, against this facade of, 'Oh no, it's for me. It makes me feel good.' Well, really?"
The actress - who describes herself as a "man-loving feminist" - admits her belief that women should stand up for themselves comes from her childhood, when her parents went to great pains to ensure she realised she could be successful.
She said: "I have a natural, innate rebellion, a defiance that my parents allowed in me, and I only have it more so in my 30s."

The Five Worst TV spinoffs
Frasier was great. So was The Jeffersons. But many spinoffs have not been successful. In other words, they sucked! So Dateline Hollywood is listing the worst TV spinoffs of all time.
# 5. Jake
Spun Off From: Becker
Premise: On the CBS sitcom Becker, actor Alex Desert played the role of Jake Malinak, the blind magazine stand owner. CBS decided to give Jake his own sitcom titled Jake as Becker went off the air. On the spinoff, Jake got a new job as an air traffic controller.
Why it Sucked: With 9/11 still on the minds of many Americans, the laughs fell completely flat as blind Jake tried to unsuccessfully coordinate the landing of jetliners at JFK airport in New York City. The show explained that a discrimination suit against the FAA had led Jake to his new job. In the pilot episode, Jake lets one plane take off while another is landing on the same runway causing a crash. Jokes such as "I did not SEE that one coming" were simplistic and tasteless. We guess they were blind to comedy. The show ran for only one episode.
# 4. Baywatch Alaska
Spun Off From: Baywatch
Premise: While Baywatch had David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson and the Hoff then continued with Baywatch Hawaii, this other spinoff Baywatch Alaska failed to captivate audiences.
Why it Sucked: At least with the original, we got to see a lot of skin on those hot female lifeguards, and female fans loved those bronzed chiseled male lifeguards. But Baywatch Alaska was a bitter disappointment. Sure there was a lot of action on the Alaskan bay, but not enough skin. Bad idea. This short-lived show in syndication was canceled after one season. It still does well in repeats in Canada.

# 3. K*I*D*S M*A*S*H
Spun Off From: M*A*S*H
Premise: When M*A*S*H was a big hit in 1970s on CBS, network executives tried to cash in on the show's success with a Saturday morning cartoon titled K*I*D*S M*A*S*H.
Why it Sucked: The same themes from the primetime show were present in the cartoon and it simply became an animated black comedy/medical drama. The second episode of the cartoon featured a young soldier who had his legs blown off by a Korean mine and the cartoon Hawkeye character has to wait for the kid to wake up from surgery to tell him he'll never walk again. The cartoon Klinger bursts into the room dressed as a woman and the soldier, still feeling the effects of the anesthesia, thinks Klinger his his Mom who he thought died back home while he was fighting against the Koreans. Needless to say, the cartoon was canceled after the second episode. However, some critics maintain the animated kids show was still better than the other spinoff After M*A*S*H.
# 2. SIPOWICZ
Spun Off From: NYPD Blue
Premise: When NYPD Blue went off the air, producer Steven Bochco decided to give Dennis Franz's character, Detective Andy Sipowicz, his own show. Instead of ABC, the program aired on Cinemax as Bocho wanted to push the envelope further.
Why it Sucked: The show focused a lot on Det. Sipowicz's sex life and the scenes on pay cable Cinemax were explicit and disturbing, and -- oh yeah -- totally gross. Franz had bared his butt a few times on ABC, but on Cinemax, viewers got a lot more than they had bargained for. Full frontal nudity became a staple of the show and little Sipowicz made a weekly appearance. As for the action part of the show, Sipowicz was no longer a cop in the spinoff, but a mall security guard. The storyline in the pilot focused on Andy trying to discover who had made off with a dirty board from a Spencer Gifts store. The show just lasted one season.
# 1. RETARDS SAY THE DARNDEST THINGS
Spun Off From: Kids Say the Darndest Things
Premise: When Kids Say the Darndest Things started to slip in the ratings, producers decided to spin it off into another show, also starring Bill Cosby. Instead of interviewing kids, Cosby sat down with mentally challenged adults.
Why it Sucked: Cosby constantly mugged for the camera while talking to the slow adults. Part of the problem was that the answers the people gave hardly made sense. At least with the kids, their answers were silly but well-meaning. When Cosby asked a man why he thought the sky was blue, the slow adult answered by saying, "I'd like tomato soup tomorrow" and "I like oranges." The show last only two seasons.

Botox pipline reaches Los Angeles
It's been in the works for seven, years, and now a highly anticipated Botox pipeline has finally reached Los Angeles. The pipeline, which originates in Russia and goes through Alaska was funded by a consortium of celebrities. Botox is made from "botulinum toxin type A", a poison produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, and the biggest producer is located outside Moscow.
"This is a great day for Hollywood," said Terri Hatcher. "For too long, we have had to deal with critical shortages in the Botox supply. This pipeline guarantees that we will have abundant supplies."
A ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned for tomorrow with Hatcher, Goldie Haw, Michelle Pfeiffer and Vanessa Williams. Cher was supposed to attened but had to cancel due to planned plastic surgery.

Jennifer Aniston speaks on aging and plastic surgery
The former 'Friends' actress - who turns 40 next year - insists the only reason she would ever consider going under the surgeon's knife would be for medical purposes.
She said: "I once had the degree of my deviated septum operated on. Since then, I can breathe much better and sleep nights like a bouncing baby. The rest of my body is all mine. And absolutely natural. And it's going to stay that way. I am very satisfied with what God gave me."
Jennifer also revealed she maintains her svelte figure with regular yoga sessions.
She added: "I do the best I can to keep myself fit, both in body and mind. I also draw a lot of strength and energy from yoga, new age and cosmic energies. I very much believe in karma - the way you treat your fellow man is how you will ultimately be treated yourself."

Lindsay Lohan: Ali Did Not Get a Boob Job
You can talk about Lindsay Lohan, but don’t you dare talk about her sister, Ali.
The Mean Girls star opened up on her blog Thursday about reports her 14-year-old sister had a boob job.
Even the paparazzi have pressed the 22-year-old actress about the rumor. Lohan wrote that she was out with a friend, when a photographer yelled, “What do you have to say about people commenting on your sister’s implants?”
“It made me feel a bit sick to my stomach,” Lindsay wrote on her MySpace blog.
But the actress is no wilting flower. She responded, “Did you really just ask me that? She is a 14-year-old girl, and you are a pedophile!”
Although Lindsay said on her blog she wouldn’t judge someone who did have surgery, she explains, “its not something that my family finds necessary to do.” She added, “Especially when you’re not even fully developed yet!”
“But all in all my mother taught us to appreciate what we have been given,” she continued. “Nor would she ever encourage, or allow a 14-year-old child to alter her body.”
And, in a mood to share her thoughts, she closed the entry admitting that although she got some “great clothes” from Alexander Wang, she said, “I miss Samantha [Ronson] cuz she’s out of town. :(”

Jordan aka Katie Price: I’ll never have surgery on my face
Jordan has said that, despite her numerous cosmetic ops, she'll never get any work done on her face – because she doesn't want to look fake.
‘I am totally plastic and proud!’ she tells the Daily Mirror. ‘Everything about me is fake but I'll never get any plastic surgery on my face.
‘Although I've had my nose done, anything else from the neck up is just wrong. You see people in LA with these weird creases in their face – it doesn't look natural.’
Jordan, 30 – real name Katie Price – had her nose job just before Christmas.
