CBS personality Julie Chen never predicted that her plastic surgery reveal would become such a hot topic after she announced it on The Talk last week. Since the Julie Chen plastic surgery admission, the web has been abuzz with reactions, many of which condemned her decision to go under the knife. Chen addressed the controversy on the show yesterday. Julie Chen Plastic Surgery “I wasn’t surprised that there would be haters judging me for what I did,” she said. What was hurtful was that the hateful comments … from within my own community.” “It was comments like, ‘Way to give in to the Western standards of beauty.’ ‘You’re denying your heritage. You’re trying to look less Asian.’ Guess what?” “I don’t look less Chinese! I’m not fooling anybody here.” Chen said that while most of her family members already knew about her cosmetic procedure, they didn’t know that it was private information. “I got a phone call the next day after I revealed my secret, and it was a conference call from my sister and my cousin, and they were like, ‘Uh, that was your secret?” “We’ve been telling our friends for years that you had plastic surgery.’ I was like, ‘Thanks!'” she recalled. “But I also got an email from another cousin.” “She’s much younger than me and she didn’t know. She was like, ‘Wow, I didn’t know that was your secret.’ Because she was too young, you know.” Chen said that it’s also worth noting that she never would have considered getting the plastic surgery if she wasn’t a TV journalist by trade. “I am sorry to hear some within my own community are still judging me and don’t agree with a decision I made for myself, which had nothing to do with denying my heritage.” “I want people to understand that there are Asians born with the crease I had surgically done to my eyes, so the goal was never to look less Asian.” The longtime Big Brother host added that “The goal was to look, in my opinion, more alert and more interested on camera for my work/career.” “The goal was to simply have bigger eyes so the camera didn’t make me look sleepy, bored, angry or disinterested in my interviews.”

Justin Theroux, Jennifer Aniston’s fiance, reveals to GQ that she does not like his STD-themed artwork and did not want to display them in their home. Relationships. All about compromise. When Justin moved into his Bel Air mansion with Jennifer Aniston , he had to part ways with the graphic art collection that he holds so dear. “I have these beautiful wax-museum pieces – handmade, from the 1800s – from a museum of curiosities,” the actor tells the magazine. “They’re just these open mouths, with tongues, and in the throats are different stages, labeled, of syphilis and gonorrhea and whatever.” “Those definitely found a great place in my office in L.A.,” he says of her reaction . “They weren’t going to be above the fireplace anytime soon.” The Wanderlust costars became engaged in 2012 after more than one year of dating. “It’s a bit like going to a slightly different altitude, you know?” Theroux says. The actor joked, referring to the celebrity gossip tabloid attention, that it can be weird “when I get complimented on the street because I’m having twins.” But the two seem to compliment each other well. He says he’s terrible at sports and she loves him for it. He also says they both wanted to buy their $21 million home, in part, because it came with chickens. “We inherited the chickens from the previous owners,” he says. “They were like, ‘Of course we’ll get rid of the chickens,’ and we said, ‘Are you crazy? Don’t get rid of the chickens. That’s half the reason we wanted this place.'”
We know she’s cute and she’s definitely talented, but consider yourselves warned, Internet users: Do not Google Lily Collins. According to a new survey by security company McAfee, the The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones actress is the Most Dangerous celebrity to look for over the Internet, with searches for Collins often leading to viruses, spam and other online attacks. Collins overtakes Emma Watson for the top spot in this poll, as other dangerous celebrities include Avril Lavigne, Sandra Bullocok and Kathy Griffin. As you might expect, searches for these and other stars become especially troublesome when you add words such as “free apps” or “naked” to them, but the results should actually be reassuring to at least one segment of the population: Go right ahead and search for Megan Fox nude pics, people! You could endanger yourself a lot worse.
SpongeBob SquarePants is in some hot water. The cartoon character is at the center of a study suggesting that watching just nine minutes of that program can cause attention and learning problems. The study took 60 four-year-olds and randomly assigned them to watch SpongeBob or the slower-paced PBS cartoon Caillou , or had them draw pictures. Right after the nine-minute assignments , the kids took mental function tests; those who had watched SpongeBob did measurably worse than the others. Should parents soak up this new study’s facts about SpongeBob? Previous research linked TV-watching with long-term attention problems, but the new study suggests problems can also occur after very little exposure. Kids’ cartoon shows typically feature about 22 minutes of action, so watching a full program “could be more detrimental,” the researchers speculated. The results should be interpreted cautiously because of the study’s small size, but the data bolster the idea that media exposure is a public health issue. Fortunately, no studies were done in which they had to watch Kim Kardashian and her siblings on Keeping Up . Talk about scarring the kiddos for life.
