Kathy Griffin's Plastic Surgery And Diet Pill Confessions!
Although she cannot stop flaunting her bikini body, Kathy Griffin's past has been weathered by low self-esteem, leading her to some extreme measures to achieve body bliss.
"What I can't figure out is why I wasted time worrying about my looks. I am a comedian. I'm not on the runway in Milan," says Kathy. "Believe it or not, people don't come to see me really thinking I'm going to look like Jennifer Aniston."
Yet at 26, she went under the knife for a nose job!
"I was told repeatedly, 'You would be pretty if it weren't for that nose. You'd work more if it weren't for that nose. Hey have you considered getting a nose job?’ You would think I had a nose the size of Texas," said the actress. "I was young and impressionable and I was told that enough that I started to believe it, so I got a nose job."
And with all the outside scrutiny, she never let up on herself as she became obsessed with losing weight. Kathy would take several step aerobics classes in a row, starve herself all day and binge at night. It even got as desperate as diet pills!
"I am very proud of my two weeks on speed," she half-jokes. "It was full-on illegal speed. I took it to lose weight, which is not very smart. I just felt three times as hungry afterward."
Although once she booked Suddenly Susan, Griffin felt pressure to slim down. "I lost 15 lbs. friggin fast in season 1," she divulges. "But being on television … I was never thin enough. [Being on TV] told me that clothes didn't come in anything larger than a four. That got to me."
Those feelings eventually led to liposuction, yet complications from the procedure brought her close to death.
Although Kathy shows embarrassing pictures post-surgery in her new book, because she wants "women to know that this is what lipo looks like. Like, are you sure you don't want to just work out a little more?"
Currently in the best shape of her life with 115 lbs on her 5'3 frame, it is still not easy!
"I struggle with it every day," she says. "I just came from a very healthy lunch but the whole time I was having the healthy lunch I wished I was having cupcakes. It's not a simple thing. I have to watch what I eat and I have to work out quite a bit."
And, how did she finally get her bikini body?
"The funny thing is the lipo, which was more than 10 years ago, has nothing to do with it," says the comedian. "I actually got into fairly good shape from yawn: diet and exercise."
That's the way to do it!
Glad you got it together, bb!

Don't Piss Off The Help, Simon! You'll Owe Them 
God, she has had so much surgery… but if I had her cash, I'd get some too. But not as much as she's had. She's still such a butterface. Sorry!
Now that you look great you have accepted yourself?!!
Be happy and healthy kathy! Fuck Hollywood's standards. You're hilarious and talented
I LOVE HER!!!
She's a credit to trannies everywhere.
She looks great! I luv Kathy!!
Um…my only question is…what did she look like without the surgery?!!?!
IS THAT DANNY BONADUCE'S SISTER?
she looks great so it payed off
I know where she is coming from. I lost 22 pounds and fear gaining it all back. Sometimes I eat healthy noodles but dream of that key lime pie..but I do indulge and I make up for it by walking..but god, I want cake..let them eat cake!!!!
She is still one FUGLY bitch!
i need to lose weight!!!!! 15 pounds…im 5'7 and 140 now…i dont look it, but i need to lose 15 more pounds
HOLLYWOOD STANDARDS ARE CRIMINAL..HOLLYWOOD DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH..ITS BULL
I LOVE Kathy! She is friggen hilarious! I will always be a fan. I'm happy she's doing well.
yay kathy!!!!!!!!
LOVE KATHY!
This bitch STILL BEYOND UGLY!!!!
umm this ugly bitch needs to have a bangin body bc thats all she has goin..shes soooooo grosss and annoyinggggg
Love how honest she always is. Can't wait to read her book!
Well, the truth is…lipo had a lot to do with it. Lipo is not used for weight loss but for reshaping the body. So, say she got her waist and thighs lipod….even if she later gained weight on those areas….once she started exercising and losing weight again, the prior lipod areas would be the FIRST to lose weight. That's b/c lipo redistributes the fat on your body.

So, say, you always carry a bit more weight on your waist or thighs than anywhere else…you lipo that area…and even if you gain weight…your waist or thighs (the lipod areas) will gain weight the last and will be the first to lose weight when you diet. So lipo definitely helped. It's just that bitch is too stupid to realize it. Or, she's lying. Either way, she's SIMPLY NOT FUNNY.
love kathy!!!! she's so great!
i wonder if lohan took her extra speed pills, i should get some of those
She's had so much surgery because she used to be a MAN!!!!!!
All that work and she's still that damn ugly?
Ewww her old ass remindes me of Jennifer Aniston.
She does look great! Thanks for being honest about it. I think I get her book.
I did the same thing - felt pressure in my industry, dieting and exercise were taking too long so I had lipo - went into shock on the table, almost died, had unbelieveable bruising and pain for weeks, and then ended up with uneven results and a surgeon who said it was not a big deal, we could do a touch up surgery once healing was finished!!! (This was a totally reputable guy and it is standard practice to get fine tuned in your second or third procedure for a much smaller fee). Only thing is, I never want to do it again and now live with my tummy being slightly fuller on one side than the other. I have severed stomach muscles from an accident and emerg surgery as a child, so no amount of sit ups can change it. There is no way in hell, however, I'm going to go through what I went through, and potentially kill myself, in order to make my body perfect. I eat well, I swim and walk and feel strong and healthy. So I won't be wearing a bikini - who cares? Plastic surgery is NOT the answer. Kudos to Kathy for telling it straight. And she looks great but would still look great with 10 or 20 lbs on her, BTW. Hollywood is not THE WORLD, it's only one small town.
She is 48 years old (older than I would have guessed) and looks better than most 20 year olds in this country.
I love you Kathy because unlike others *cough Demi Moore cough* you always keep it 100%. Xoxo you're fabulous!
funny girl ,shame about her face,that should be a priority
OMG no amount of plastic surgery could help this ugly bitch! she is fucking butt fugly!
I saw Kathy around 8-9 years ago in the burger joint "In-n-out" on Venice Blvd. in Los Angeles. She had a huge burger with fries and soda, and she was gulping it like there is no tomorrow. She is a comedian so why does she flaunt all the time her body and her face after all those surgeries. Comedienes can be big size girls and unattractive. We love them if they are funny.

I LOVE KG! I say let her eat cupcakes. She'll still be funny in a size 16.
I'm the same age as Kathy (did I just admit that?) and I WISH I had her body. But I've had kids and I won't be looking like that again unless I have some serious surgery. That's not going to happen. I think it's unhealthy to do that to your body. Too many people get bad results from lipo. Some even die right on the table!! I'll just keep doing what I've done all my life. Watch what I eat, exercise and love my size 12 body. Screw trying to be a size 4!! I'm eating that cupcake man!!
Nice body fucked up face
TRANNY ALERT! GROSS!!!
I LOVE YOU KATHY UR MY HERO BITCCCHHHHH
What is wrong with you people? She's "fugly" and "beyond ugly"?!?! Get real people; you're probably a bunch of hillbillies sitting around on your fat asses in West Virginia or something. Get a life… Kathy is hilarious.
Maniston is all fake and dried up. Why would anyone want to be like her let alone look like her? Kathy's got to get them lipo like the way Maniston likes them. Soon you both will be all dired up and leathery. Get those airbrush ready and hide those wrinkles. Both are old spinsters!
