Plastic Surgeon Sues Patients for Bad Online Reviews

(Nov. 19) -- A Chicago woman says cosmetic surgery left her breasts disfigured, but she's not suing for malpractice. Instead, the doctor who performed the allegedly botched procedure is suing her, because she posted bad reviews of his work online. Dr. Jay Pensler, unhappy about negative reviews his former patients posted on Yelp and Citysearch, is suing at least three of them for defamation. In court papers, Pensler, who calls himself a "well respected plastic surgeon," says the women have "embarked on a malicious campaign to undermine and destroy" his personal reputation. But Carol Oshana, ...

Teen Singer Charice Gets Botox for 'Glee' Debut

MANILA, Philippines (July 19) -- Baby-faced teen singer Charice says she prepared for her debut on the hit Fox TV show "Glee" by getting Botox and an anti-aging procedure "to look fresh on camera," but her publicist said the Botox was for muscle pain, not for cosmetic reasons. The 18-year-old Filipino singer with a booming voice, who recently released her self-titled debut album, saw her career skyrocket after appearing on Ellen DeGeneres' and Oprah Winfrey's talk shows. She underwent a 30-minute Thermage skin-tightening procedure and Botox injections to make her "naturally round face" more ...

Botox Nation . . . or Why Can't Women Age Naturally?

Botox Nation . . . or Why Can't Women Age Naturally?

Let's be honest. Most face-lifts are unflattering. They turn the faces of middle-aged women, who should be wrinkled from all that laughing, crying and squinting in the sunshine, into frozen wastelands.

Instead of: How young she looks! people think: What did she do to her face? Maybe she smokes, or never uses sunscreen. Hair that grays prematurely, on the other hand, is almost always attractive, because then people get a glimpse ...

Netherlands Wins World Cup -- Wait, What?

(July 13) -- Sometimes, news organizations screw up. And boy, is it ever wonderful to catch them. Most organizations will pre-write articles about major events -- presidential elections, obituaries for famous people who are near death's door and, of course, the outcome of major sporting events, like the World Cup's championship game. Unless you've been under a rock the past few days, you know that Spain beat Netherlands 1-0 in overtime to win the coveted trophy. Of course, every news organization had articles for either team's possible victory. Too bad for CBS News that somebody over there ...
