I watched the show [Medium](http://imdb.com/title/tt0412175/) this evening. The producers made the odd choice of casting Patricia Arquette as the lead character until such time as they can find a regular actress (at least I assume that’s what they’re doing- the alternative is they gave this graduate of the Melanie Griffith _How I Act Good_\* School an actual contract, and who believably would do that?). There was a scene in which she was lying in bed with her husband and, even though she was lying on her back, her boobages were big and globular and pointing straight up just like most women’s don’t. There’s no way any woman has breasts so firm that they stand like Gibralter when she’s on her back. Speaking of islands in the stream, [this](http://www.thedudeblog.com/uploaded_images/Kenny%20Rogers-786319.jpg) was the Kenny Rogers I knew and [this](http://brainerddispatch.com/images/041504/tmp_KRchair.jpg) is the guy who claims to be him now. Martin Guerre’s wife wouldn’t have been fooled by this guy- what have you done with the _real_ Kenny? A few performers, such as Phyllis Diller ([c. 1959](http://www.gregsgrooves.com/images/diller_whats.jpg) , [c. 1980s](http://www.wosu.org/images/AirFare/pdiller7.gif)) and Roseanne have incorporated their changing appearance into their act and persona, but others just walk onto stage one day with skin you could bounce a quarter off of and seem to think it looks natural. Who are some other stars who have been extremely obviously surgically enhanced over the years? ---

Cher, Anna Nichole Smith and Dolly Parton all come to mind. Both Parton and Smith have acknowledged augmentation in boobage. The king of plastic has to be Michael Jackson. ---

Maybe she was recently enhanced, I don’t know, but I am almost positive Patritcia Arquette’s beautiful breasts are 100% natural. ---

Patritcia Arquette has always had a nice rack of boobage. I haven’t noticed a major upward change in her boobage going back to, say, True Romance or Ed Wood. I won’t say I’m an expect on Patritcia Arquette’s tits, but looking at them is sort of a hobby of mine. 😃 Are they showing naked Patritcia Arquette boob on TV now?? I think I’ll have to tune in. ---

I thought I was the only who noticed them … um … her. I just assumed she wears a sports-bra or something confining to bed. I don’t think they’re enhanced. ---

Awful Plastic Surgery is the best place to look for this kind of thing. Although not everyone is awful (Madonna was singled out as an example good plastic surgery). [http://www.awfulplasticsurgery.com/](http://www.awfulplasticsurgery.com/) Among the really badly pumped, sliced and molded celebrities are Joan Rivers, Meg Ryan, David Guest, Tara Reid and Mickey Rourke. The queen by far, however, is Jocelyn Wildenstein, but she’s never acted in anything beyond her own fantasy world.

Well, I could make a few comments on Patricia Arquette’s acting skills but I guess that’s not really the topic of the thread. I would venture to guess that her laying on her back in the show is not an accuate representation of what her boobs really do. I am sure they employ some “movie magic” (i.e. duct tape) in order to keep them looking perky during those scenes. As for scary looking plastic surgery I nominate Nicolette Sheridan. Here was a very attractive young woman who apparently got scared of a few natural wrinkles and had someone multilate her face. She could have aged just as beautifully as her co-stars of Desperate Housewives but she chose surgery which made her look worse. She still has some wrinkles but her face has all these sharp unnatural edges and her eyebrows are in a permanent state of surprise. I find it very distracting to watch her and buy her as the “sexy vamp”. ---

A girl does enough push-ups, her breasts will stand up like that without surgical enhancement. –Cliffy ---

Micahel Jackson is the Jerry Rice of celebrity plastic surgery. Who’s number one is undisputable; so you can only argue about who’s in second place. ---
