There's Good Nose and Bad Nose

Actually, there's just bad nose. Deborah Gibson's took a turn for the worse after a surgeon's botched attempt to make it less trunk, more button (via Jezebel). But our nose got bent out of shape (which, if you've ever seen us, you know we mean more bent) when we saw that Star is yet another magazine that's stolen the title Knifestyles of the Rich and Famous from the original Details magazine's mid-'80s cosmetic surgery column. On her website, Martha Frankel, author of the gambling memoir Hats & Eyeglasses, fondly remembers her days writing the column for that magazine.

I wrote the first Knifestyles of the Rich and Famous, a first-person, on-going column about plastic surgery for DETAILS. This was in the mid-80's, when plastic surgery was still in the closet. I had my breasts made smaller (one of the highlights of my life), and met women and men who had every single part of themselves transformed. These people told me their stories, both successes and failures. Knifestyles was both uplifting (no pun intended) and very frightening – when plastic surgery goes wrong, it goes horribly wrong.
