Lisa Rinna and Her Lips Co-Chair ‘Team “Duh”’.
Actress Lisa Rinna just released a statement that she has, in fact, had her lips done.
No. Really?
On Monday’s “Today” show, she finally spoke out about her plentiful pout, saying “That’s the pink elephant in the room. This is the first time I have told what I have done to my lips.” Pink elephant? That pink elephant is on roller skates, dressed as a chicken, carrying a neon sign that says “Plastic Surgery”.
You Had Your Lips Done? Really?
Speculation regarding her colossal kisser has been around for years, since before “Dancing with the Stars”, since before “Melrose Place”, since before Harry Hamlin put a wedding ring on her finger 12 years ago. Most people would be hard-pressed to think of a time when it didn’t look like her lips were inflated like the jump-castle at a kid’s birthday party.
That’s because she had her first cosmetic lip enhancement after seeing the movie “Beaches”, aspiring to have lips like Barbara Hershey’s. 23 years ago. She says that she had silicone put only in her top lip, leaving her poor lower lip un-pouted. She also says that, although it was not what she expected, it did create a signature for her. Her plentiful puss put her face on the map. She was a nobody until that mouth took Hollywood.
But, the story grows sad as she goes on to say that the silicone hardened and the scar tissue wasn’t pretty. She claims that, after a cortisone shot to soften the scar tissue, she has done nothing else to enhance her famous feature.
So, is she making her head smaller, then?
After claiming that she has not had the cosmetic procedures that we all suspect, she still pushes her new book, “Rinnavation” and her—ahem—spread in “Playboy” magazine. Despite the title of her book and its assumed play-on-words, it is, evidently, a self-help book about keeping her marriage going after so long, and how to keep so fit at age 45. Without cosmetic surgery.
If it took much-needed publicity for her new book to get her to open up about her lip-plumping, what do you suppose it will take for her to say something about those floatation devices she’s carrying around on her chest?
