| Sharon Osbourne 'gone too far' with nip-tuck, says Kelly
Sharon has had several cosmetic procedures - including a face lift, tummy tuck, neck lift and a boob job - and has regular Botox injections, but her daughter thinks it makes her look odd sometimes. Kelly told The Times: "Sometimes mum has gone too far with the Restylane and Botox and ended up looking extremely surprised. "The first time she had plastic surgery she didn't know how to explain it to us kids - we've got big mouths and she didn't want us to go around saying, 'Mummy's had a facelift', so she told us she was in an accident. That freaked us out so she had to explain." It seems Kelly has had a change of heart about mum Sharon's surgery. Last week, she insisted she was so impressed with her mother's boob job she couldn't wait to go under the knife herself. She said: "I'm already planning my surgery.
Court Action in Henderson Missing Money Case
The losses from the collapse of a Henderson financial company could top $83 million. That's the estimate from attorneys after a series of hearings in District Court Tuesday. At least nine lawsuits have been filed over the collapse of the company called Southwest 1031 Exchange. One attorney says in court documents this could turn out to be one of the largest losses of consumer funds in American history. A judge appointed a point-person to begin assessing the status of the now-defunct company called a "receiver" on Tuesday. When Southwest 1031 Exchange closed its doors last week, court filings now say at least 75 customers had money with the company. While an exact total may not be known for weeks, estimates are the potential loss could top $83 million.

Liposuction is not a cure for obesity, patients warned
The number of people undergoing liposuction has risen by 90% in just one year - prompting experts to warn it is not a solution for obesity. More than 100,000 British men and women had cosmetic surgery last year in the everlasting search for the body beautiful. Doctors are talking of a surgery epidemic. With adverts filling magazines and newspapers, cut-price offers and celebrity endorsement suggesting it is more akin to a haircut than risky surgery with occasionally devastating consequences, liposuction and other body-enhancing procedures are becoming commonplace. .
