Jamie Lee Curtis knocks plastic surgery trends: Fillers, procedures are wiping out generations of beauty – Fox News

Jamie Lee Curtis has been there and done that, and she's not doing it again. Plastic surgery, that is. The "Halloween" icon got candid in a new interview about her decades-long career in film, how she keeps her personal life private despite fame, and what she really thinks of today's beauty standards in Hollywood. When asked about the uptick in plastic surgery trends, the 62-year-old actress admitted it's a road she won't walk down again. "I tried plastic surgery and it didn’t work. It got me addicted to Vicodin. I’m 22 years sober now," Curtis shared with Fast Company.

Lord of the Rings orc was modeled after Harvey Weinstein, Elijah Wood reveals – The Guardian

Just weeks out from Peacemaker’s premiere on HBO Max, the studio’s just dropped the first proper clip from the show that reintroduces Peacemaker into the picture, as well as establishes what sort of dynamic he’s going to have with his various allies. In the new clip, Peacemaker pulls up to a diner ready fo...
