“Lip Gate” has me feeling deflated.
You’ve heard, no doubt, that psycho-celebrity Lisa Rinna recently had her upper lip surgically reduced in size. She says it’s to remove scar tissue that has developed over the years from silicone lip injections she had way back in 1986.
Me thinks it is to promote her upcoming show on TV Land, “Harry Loves Lisa.” Though some folks have come down on her for yet another round of plastic surgery (even if it is corrective), it is attention for the series, which let’s face it, the small cable network venture can certainly use.
And her lips can certainly use the reduction. I’ve seen them live and in person….and they were so large, they practically were their own person.
I was sitting in a diner in New York City having breakfast during a visit here before my move, and Lisa walked in — hat shoved down, big sunglasses, the whole celeb disguise firmly in place.
But those big lips sticking out — so big she couldn’t even close her mouth — I knew it was her in a New York minute.
So kudos to Lisa for returning them to a somewhat more natural state. Maybe it will make her a bit easier for Harry to love.
Hearth and home
Christmas may have come and gone, but the yule log is still burning bright.
On TV, that is.
So when they aren’t online or are listening to music, chances are pretty good a fire is burning on their TV. This has become a tradition of sorts at Christmas, but I didn’t know where it originated until today.
Chalk up another one for New York City.
WPIX-TV Channel 11 was the first TV station to broadcast the burning yule log way back in 1966. President and CEO Fred M. Thrower thought residents of New York who didn’t have fireplaces would appreciate the added holiday cheer. And it allowed station employees to stay home and celebrate Christmas with their families during the four-hour time slot.
It’s like I’m always saying…
New Yorkers are the nicest people.
