Jezebel: on the nose

It's (Kinda) Settled: Tyra Banks Had A Nose Job

Slut Machine — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 13:30:00 EST

This Larry King Live clip settles it for me: Tyra Banks has had a nose job. Dodai and I have been having this back and forth with each other about it. In her infamous "161" People magazine interview, she said, "I am totally against plastic surgery. A lot of people think I have breast implants because I have the biggest boobs in the business." But this archival footage from Larry King, that was re-aired on Monday, leaves me completely convinced that she's had work done. Larry asks, "Are you afraid of plastic surgery?" She responds, "No, I'm not afraid of plastic surgery and I'm not against it... I feel like everybody should make a choice and, you know, if they want to do that, that's fine. I'm so not against it." Yeah, the girl she's talking to is the one looking back her in the mirror. Also, she's clearly not against visible lace fronts, either!

Each week on Top Model, we watch her have totally arbitrary rules on beauty and modeling, and often times, conflicting advice for the girls ("Don't lose weight to conform!" "Do anything you have to do to book that job!"), so it's not surprising that she'd have different answers for different outlets on the same subject. She did admit to Heather last week that she compartmentalizes, after all.

And in case you forgot:

We're wondering why this product, the Model 25 Nose Shaper, never really took off. Especially since the ad for it from 1930 promises "to improve the shape of your nose by remodeling the cartilage and fleshy parts, quickly, safely, and painlessly." Oh, and the device can be worn night or day, so even if it doesn't work fixing your nose, it can hide the ugly one you already have. (Click tag to view full-size ad.) [Modern Mechanix]

Did Pepa From Salt-N-Pepa Get A Nose Job?

We're really psyched about the premiere of The Salt-N-Pepa Show coming up in two weeks on VH1. It should be interesting since Salt (Cheryl) and Pepa (Sandy) had a falling out — due largely in part to Cheryl's new-found spirituality and unwillingness to perform the duo's racier material — and haven't spoken to each other very much in the past five years. But there's something else different about the girls, namely, Sandy's nose. She's looking decidedly Jackson-esque. Another shot after the jump.

Total LaToya, right?

The pair's reality show has the potential to be intense, since they're really putting their issues with each other out on the table. When asked about their breakup and dissolved friendship in an interview, they said:

Salt: I still wanted to be friends, but...
Pepa: I was mad.

Salt: She was bitter.

Pepa: (Laughs) I'm still...not mad. But this is, to me, therapy. I'm trying to work through it. Because I held a lot in.

Salt: She's still a little mad.

Good news for Lindsay Lohan, Kate Moss, etc.: British plastic surgeons have developed a way to fix "cocaine nose," which is basically the disintegration of the septum due to excessive drug-snorting. [Guardian]
