Katie Couric To Undergo (Another) Facelift

READY FOR HER CLOSE-UP:

Hemlines, rather than hairlines, are usually the fashion world’s focus, but Katie Couric’s current ’do may be worthy of special scrutiny. The new bangs she’s been sporting on the “Today” show lately aren’t just part of a trend — sources said they’re about to double as camouflage.

America’s Pixie is on the verge of going under the knife for a major brow-lift courtesy of Dr. Craig Foster, the plastic surgeon best known for reconstructing the face of the Central Park jogger, according to sources familiar with the situation.

While such a procedure might seem a bit drastic in the age of drive-through Botoxing, Couric and her TV personality peers have a new reason to be afraid about losing their looks — high-definition television. The super-sharp imagery of HDTV is infamously pitiless about its subjects’ looks. “In the last few months, I’ve had three major TV people come in expressing specific high-definition television concerns,” said plastic surgeon Dr. Cap Lesesne.

“HDTV is a nightmare,” said one beauty editor. “I would be surprised if she wasn’t considering surgery.” The “Today” show isn’t currently broadcast in HDTV, but NBC was an early adopter and it will likely happen sooner rather than later.

A spokeswoman for Foster said, “We do not know anything about it,” and a “Today” spokeswoman declined comment.

Last fall, New York magazine named Foster one of “beauty’s best” doctors in the city, and noted that he had started using the Endotine brow-lift treatment that sources said Couric will likely undergo. Endotine patients have small incisions made in the forehead where tiny hooks are inserted that pull the skin of the brow taut. Six to eight weeks after insertion, the skin resettles at the higher elevation, while the hooks — which are biodegradable —gradually melt away six months later. Initially, the change in appearance can be jarring, and during those six weeks the patient’s skin gradually crawls up her face — something “Today” show obsessives might chart if Couric’s new bangs (a common camouflage technique) weren’t in place.

“In her business, and I know her very well,” said Lesesne, “there’s a life span, and there are hundreds of people behind her who want her job. And this is her image she’s protecting.” —

LOL!..Do you have pic. of the the "mother" in Terry Gillam's Movie, BRAZIL w/John Pryce?...perfect for Katie Couric. :)

Katie! Your shelf life has now expired.

Actually, the truth is far more convoluted. Michael Jackson wants to host the Today Show. He knows full well that the ratings would drop like a rock if he was introduced to the viewing public as a new host, so he'll go under the knife one more time and disguise himself as Katie Couric--the classic doppelganger. I just wonder how Today Show fans react when the new Katie Couric jumps on top of the news desk and grabs her crotch.

She's worried about the outside of her head, when she should be worried about the lack of substance inside her head.

Once again, you......

[nmh]

It's what is on the inside that needs straightening out. Outer appearance change won't help her.

[dr_who_2]

Guess she's just not as perky as she used to be.

[BobS]

I guess you also have a TV card?

Pamela looks much happier than Katie. But that's besides the point. It's too early for Katie to have a face lift. She should wait until November:)

[nmh]

She looks like your garden variety comic book character that makes a living as a whore. Not impressed.

[Rome2000]

The good news is that she can only get so many facelifts,so she should be history by 2006.

Funny how her liberal friends at NBC don't like old bags screwing up their ratings.

Lol some of these people with face lifts they can't even move their facial muscles any longer they're so stretched tight. They end up looking like a zombie.

[TADSLOS]

You mean this one?

[bannie]

Phony bitch

May I add...Phoney, Creepy bitch with a creeping forehead?

[Paul Atreides]

Maybe Katie will get stretched so tight that the part of her body she is always talking out of will wind up where mouth is.

When plastic surgery goes wrong:

Farrah Fawcett-Majors

[Paul Atreides]

Yeah, and it's even funnier how the old bag feminists don't mind going along with the facelifts.

[mombonn]

Perky is as perky does, ugly goes straight to the bone.

[cmsgop]

May you get a Corvette in Heaven Son............

Katie! Your shelf life has now expired.

'Fraid that one was sour before she went on the shelf.

"Hey! I resemble that remark!"
