Top 10 Celebrities In Need of Plastic Surgery

While most celebrities have their plastic surgeons on speed-dial and have more bovine inside them than a petting zoo, some prefer to keep things all natural. Maybe they shouldn't. Hey, we're all for aging gracefully, but when your boobs are getting stuck in your belt and face appears to be melting, a little nip and tuck here and there is in order. We'd love to see these 10 stars go under the knife before their next close-up.

10. Rachel Zoe
If we had our way, we'd strap a feed bag to this itsy-bitsy celebrity stylist, or do a major fat transplant-we just don't know where we'd get the fat from. Rachel Zoe's got the cute designer clothes, she's got the pretty highlighted hair, and she's got a good-looking face. And if the California Raisins ever decide to get back together, her phone's going to be ringing off the hook. Girlfriend's spent too much time in the sun and needs some Botox to clear up those deep wrinkles on her forehead and cheeks. Maybe then PerezHilton.com will stop referring to her as "Raisinface."
Melanie GriffithMelanie Griffith



9. Melanie Griffith

The onetime "Working Girl" star is no stranger to plastic surgery. Heck, she went to the prom with plastic surgery, coached plastic surgery's kids in Little League, and car pools with plastic surgery every day. So it's a wonder why the cosmetically enhanced actress, given her reputation for shoddy eye jobs and collagen injections, would manage to overlook having knees that look like they belong to an 85-year-old shuffleboard player. Says TheSuperficial.com, "I'm not normally a fan of surgery, but if your knees look like this then get. And get a lot of it. Hell, amputate if you need to." We'll second that motion. Melanie is in desperate need of a knee sculpting procedure, Maybe they can give her some chemical peels while they're at it.
Keith RichardsKeith Richards



8. Keith Richards
Yes, he's Keith Richards. Yes, you expect him to look like he just spent the last decade living inside Mickey Mantle's liver. Yes, Sigourney Weaver told "More" that, "He's a mass of lines, but he's gorgeous because he is who he is." But wouldn't the haggard rock star/mass of lines look so much sexier if he just went in for a facelift and brow lift, and had some Botox to smooth out his many wrinkles? Throw in a bath and some aftershave and Keith might find himself with more groupies than he knows what to do with.
Patti SmithPatti Smith



7. Patti Smith

Patti Smith is like the female version of Keith Richards, only less toxic. Sure, she's a respected musician who's gotten away with looking like a gloomy scarecrow for decades, but this is our fantasy, and we'll make over anyone we want to. For starters, Patti could use some good highlights and a blowout. Next, she'd need collagen injections in the upper lip to plump up her too-thin lips, plus Botox to smooth out the wrinkles she has in the area between her nose and mouth. A rhinoplasty would thin out her masculine nose, and cheek implants would give her face some much-needed definition. Patti may not need a facelift just yet, but boy does she need some makeup.
Courtney LoveCourtney Love



6. Courtney Love
You've got to give this crazy lady props for losing a lot of weight sans surgery (or so she claims). But honey, that excess skin needs medical attention ASAP. "If you put a bulldog in front of her stomach, he would think he was staring into a mirror," joked TheBlemish.com of Courtney's new beach bod. "Eventually the bulldog would realize this wasn't his reflection because there's no way he could be that ugly or have so many ripples." Harsh but true. Liposuction would remove the lumps, or Courtney could even look into getting a sculpted abs procedure. Or do nothing, and just start wearing t-shirts to spare the rest of us.
BardotBardot



5. Brigitte Bardot
Back in the day, this star of "And God Created Woman" oozed sex appeal. Now, she's got more lines than Kate Moss's birthday party. Okay, so she's in her 70s, but we still expect more from a French woman, especially one who set the world on fire with her ethereal, come hither looks. She's still got the big hair, the gorgeous lips, and the soft skin-she just needs some "petite" work. We'd love to treat her to a facelift, upper and lower eyelid surgery, a gentle brow lift, and any lipo her heart desires.
Camilla Parker BowlesCamilla Parker Bowles



4. Camilla Parker Bowles

Giving hope to millions of homely girls who dream of one day marrying a prince, Camilla's plain Jane, somewhat horsey looks somehow triumphed over Princess Diana's fresh-faced beauty, and the rest is history. And while Charles may look at her and see the face of an angel, the rest of the world sees a hag. We'd love to send her in for a good facelift, a brow lift, dental work, collagen lip injections, and perhaps a trimmed, slimmer nose.
David GestDavid Gest



3. David Gest
Reason #5,763 to not be friends with Michael Jackson: If you're like David Gest (ex of Liza and British television personality) you might be inspired to get plastic surgery like his. Unhappy with his looks, David sought out his pal's surgeon (bad idea) and got a nose job, facelift, cheek implants, and cleft chin. The procedures didn't exactly turn him into Brad Pitt (and, strangely, his once too-thin nose now looks thick and bulbous), but David told London's The Daily Mirror that he's given up on good looks: "I won't have any more surgery. I realize that I am who I am and it's what's inside that counts." Okay, fine, but if we had our way with him, we'd send him in for a full facial overhaul-plus another hair transplant.
Barbara StreisandBarbara Streisand



2. Barbra Streisand

Oy vey! In her younger days, Barbra Streisand showed Hollywood that you can have non-perfect features (a large nose, in her case) and still look stunning. And while we wouldn't dare lay a hand on that famous schnoz, old Babs sure could use a tune-up. Her once shapely body is begging for a bit of lipo, and it looks like "her girls" are drooping, so let's throw in a breast lift while we're at it. Barbra's biggest problem is her saggy neck and chin, but it's nothing a good facelift can't fix. Finally, we'd throw in a few chemical peels to treat her sun-damaged skin, and do a little lower eyelid surgery to keep the "Yentl" star looking young.
Michael JacksonMichael Jackson



1. Michael Jackson

Where to begin? We'd actually just love to undo all of the plastic surgery/mutilation that the King of Pop has inflicted upon himself, and restore him to his healthy-looking early 1980s look. Anyone got a time machine? Dr. Tony Youn addressed the issue on CelebrityCosmeticSurgery.blogspot.com: "Can anything be done to save Michael, or at least Bubbles the chimp?? Because he likely has so much scar tissue left after several surgeries, the best chance to rebuild his nose would be to treat it as a reconstructive surgery. With people who have cancer of the nose, it can be rebuilt by taking skin from the forehead and moving it to the nose to cover the cartilage. I believe that this surgery would be his best option to look normal again." Now if we could just do something about that hair, skin bleaching, and creepy kid obsession.
