| Paris mulls surgery for eyelid
PARIS Hilton is considering plastic surgery to correct her drooping left eyelid, it has been claimed. The hotel heiress allegedly paid a recent visit to a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon's office with her sister Nicky to make enquiries. A source told the New York Post newspaper: "She wanted to fix her drooping left eyelid." Paris, 25, (currently working up to ten hours a day filming new movie The Hottie and the Nottie) has apparently been aggravating the problem by wearing tinted contact lenses. The Simple Life star has naturally brown eyes but has always worn blue tinted contact lenses to keep up her Barbie-style image. The source said: "Her eyes have been drying out lately. She is ignoring doctors' orders not to wear her tinted contacts." Paris' representative Elliot Mintz said: "To the best of my knowledge, Paris has never had any kind of cosmetic surgery and has not mentioned any medical procedures having to do with her eyes."

Team Mercy takes the long road
Editors note: Todays story is the last in a series to wrap up Commit to Be Fit 2006. The program, which we first introduced in July of last year, has taken nine people on the fitness journeys of their lifetimes. Were proud of the progress each has made and salute their successes. This is how Team Mercy lost weight: Sure, theyll take the fat loss and muscle gain, but Mercy Medical Centers team members said the education they received during Commit to Be Fit was the best reward. Dave Harding summed it up best, agreed fellow team members Cheryl Marks and Leslie Hookey: They taught us not just how to lose, Harding said, but how to live. The formula is simple, Mercy exercise physiologist Dave Faur said: Mild calorie restriction plus cardiovascular exercise and strength training.
