Mel's Plastikos

Here's an interesting page I found from All Experts site:

 

Question
Where can I find the detailed story of Mel Gibson`s plastic surgery? I hear that he was attacked when he was younger and had to have facial reconstruction. Is this true, and if so where can I find out all of the details? Thanks.
Answer
Hello, Jessica--

I can't point you to a place that will give the detailed story of Mel Gibson's plastic surgery--because the story you're referring to isn't true.

Like many such forwarded stories, it has a little basis in fact, but the entirety of the story is fiction. The factual part is that Mel Gibson was beaten severely not long before auditioning for the role of Mad Max; he still had many of the bruises, etc. George Miller liked the look, told him to come back when the bruises healed, and when he did, hired him to play Mad Max. That's the story that both Mel Gibson and George Miller have told in the past.

The beating did require a brief hospital stay, but didn't require plastic surgery. Previous to this, Mel Gibson had been attending NIDA in Australia, not working on docks. Paul Harvey did relate the story regarding Mel's hiring for the role Mad Max; someone else invented the rest, and Paul Harvey has denied authorship of the story circulating through email.

Hope this helps.

All along I thought Mel Gibson had a rhinoplasty in Melbourne, Florida (nope, not Australia)  Yeah, I thought he had his nose fixed and his eyelids lifted.

Is Mel an Aussie, by the way?

Lay-By Surgery?

I know for a fact that Surgery could dig a hole in your purse and max out credit cards.  Should we spend riches to fix a nose?  Naplesface.com says: the nose has been called the "signpost of the face".   A nose that is out of balance with other facial features can be corrected. 

There we go.. it says.. 'can' be corrected.  And not "must be".  An option for those who could afford.  If you feel a Fort Myers rhinoplasty could cure your insecurity, then.. why not.  Go ahead.  Just make sure you consult the best surgeon there is.  Otherwise, your money will be flushed down the drain.

Get the 90210 Feel (Part II)

I was browsing through the Internet searching for best livable cities in the world. Of course, one would be my very own hometown, Davao city. North Fremantle in Perth, Western Australia would be a best spot too. I prefer to live in a quite, peaceful and clean city. A place surrounded with water, boats, and clean air. I hate heavy traffic and factory smoke. Who would love that? Cagayan de Oro is another blooming city. Though not as progressive as you might expect, but it's definitely getting there.

Beverly Hills had always captured my interest when it comes to city hopping. I have moved out from one city to another but never got the chance to land on it ^_^. Perhaps in the future. Here's a clip from the city of Beverly Hills website:

Visitors to the City are greeted with a warm invitation to participate in the many exciting events and happenings around town.
From world-class shopping on Rodeo Drive and boutique openings to family day activities at the Farmers’ Market, concerts in the parks and Civic Center Plaza, Beverly Hills has an array of activities available for visitors to experience.
Any day of the week you can tour Greystone Mansion or visit any of the City's other parks, including the La Cienega Tennis Center.

Lovely isn't it? I wonder how much a liposuction Beverly Hills way cost? Not that I'm planning to get one. Just curious.

The 90210 Feel

I was about 6 when I first seen the teen series Beverly Hills 90210. 

I haven't really understood then what the story was about.  My mom didn't allow me to watch as it was too "adult" for me to watch.  I recently got curious about the plot.  I've read that: originally the central characters were fraternal twins Brandon (played by Jason Priestley) and Brenda Walsh (played by Shannen Doherty), who moved with their parents, Jim and Cindy, from Minneapolis to Beverly Hills. However, during the show's run, its focus shifted substantially. The show addressed many topical issues like date rape, alcoholism, drug abuse, teen suicide and teen pregnancy.
My mom was right. It was too "adult for me ehehehe... I believe it was an interesting series though.  The casts were all good looking and famous.  I knew then that Beverly Hills was a good spot to see stars.  It's probably expensive to live there.  What do you think?  Talking about expense and beauty, I was wondering how much a rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills would cost?   To get those cool looks, those actors must have spent much of their riches.
