Cosmetic surgery: what the stars say

The nip/tuck regulars

Joan Rivers, 74
'You paint the house and maintain the car, right? Well, I go to my surgeon every six months and ask for touch-ups.'

Demi Moore, 44
'I have no problem with enhancing one's look or fixing something that's changed. I don't see me getting oodles of stuff done but for some things it's a Godsend. I say everything in moderation. After three kids, gravity and nature takes its toll and everything heads south so it's an option.'

Carmen Electra, 35
'When I get older I'd definitely consider getting a few nips and tucks. Obviously I considered it for my breasts as I got implants. But the truth is I sometimes wish now I'd never done it because I had nice boobs before. They were small but they were nice.'

Fergie, 32
'I haven't had any surgery but I would consider a nip and a tuck. I've been sun-tanning forever and damaging my skin. I would be open to Botox.'

Liv Tyler, 30
'I'm definitely going to have some, I'm sure. Especially when you see what happens to your body after you have a baby. I have to make a living.'

Scarlett Johansson, 22
'I definitely believe in plastic surgery. I don't want to be an old hag. There's no fun in that.'

The undecideds

Diane Keaton, 61
'Never say never. I'll tell you why: I remember when I was a kid, I would say, "I will never have sex before I marry. Never." All those things I said I would never do, I always did. So I know I can't say it because I know that it is the curse. I know I'll just go right out there and say, "Let's just yank this off and give me some Botox, right. Fill it all up." I'd rather not; I'd rather remain authentic. But you never know.'

Joely Richardson, 42
'I'm very mixed about it, very on the fence. When people say, "No, I would never have cosmetic surgery on point of principle", I say, "How do you know? How do you know how you might feel in 20 years time?"'

Kylie Minogue, 39
'I don't have any strong opinions about people going under the knife. If they want to, then good luck to them - I'll cross that bridge later. But I'm just like any girl and I have the same anxieties and issues. Who doesn't? When I go and watch the rushes of a new video, I dread it because I'm worried how I'm going to look.'

Jennifer Aniston, 38
'I think whatever floats your boat. You've gotta do what you've gotta do.'

Jennifer Lopez, 37
'I don't do it, but I don't want to judge because I don't know how I'll feel when I'm 40 or 50 and if that is something I would do. I know that getting older is tough; I don't want to judge because I'm not there yet. But anything in excess is not good. If somebody is cutting up their face and their body over and over again, it's got to be something inside that they're not dealing with, so obviously deal with that first before you go under the knife.'

Penelope Cruz, 33
'I'm not against it totally. If someone really wants to do it for themselves, good for them, but it's not healthy the way people are so unhappy with the way they look. Personally I don't think I would ever have Botox injections or have plastic surgery, but maybe there will be other more natural things you can do when I am older so who knows?'

Reese Witherspoon, 31
'What's my take on it? It seems like a very lucrative profession! I don't have any concerns about it yet. Ask me in a few more years - I'm sure I'll be very knowledgeable!'

Kirsten Dunst, 25
'I don't judge people who get plastic surgery. I'm 25 right now so I don't see that in my near future but I don't know.'
