Boldly Going Where No Star Has Gone Before

Some of you may remember Brigette Nielsen as the ex-wife of Sylvester Stallone (1985-1987) and her role in Rocky IV, or you may remember her from Red Sonja. Or maybe you just don't have a clue who she is and probably don't care. That may change when she goes through several cosmetic procedures in front of the camera. Why? According to the 44-year-old actress, it has more to do with bursting the secrecy of cosmetic surgery in Hollywood than it does shameless self-promotion - even though she claims to be the first female celebrity in the world to allow herself to be filmed in this way. Nielsen calls the secrecy "annoying" and says, "You can see that the stars do not age naturally. It's not right that the fans, the normal women, are lied to."

So, in a three-part series scheduled for German television next month, all the "normal women," as well as their spouses and children, can watch Nielsen undergo procedures for a face lift, eye lift, fat injections, liposuction, as well as dental work. Her goal is to look 30 again (because she feels 30). Not only that, but Nielsen, who appeared in Playboy 20 years ago, will do so again later this year to show off her new body. Remember, no secrets. However, Nielsen also hopes that by doing this, she will provoke discussion about her, what she's done, and her belief that we should be in on what Hollywood is doing.

If you are one of the "normal women" or perhaps men, and you are interested in cosmetic surgery, please contact an experienced cosmetic surgeon in your area.
