Has he or hasn’t he had another face lift? That is the question being asked about Kim Kardashian’s father Bruce Jenner by Hollywood’s press.
According to online publication Hollywood Life, Mr Jenner was seen with a bruised face and fresh scar at an L.A. Lakers game, tell-tale signs of facial cosmetic surgery. This is not the first time that the former Olympic runner has been connected with age-defying procedures, and in the past his daughters have always publicly denied the rumours.
This included during filming of the family’s reality television show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, when Kim said he had not had a face lift.
Before and after pictures of Mr Jenner suggest that he has had surgical or non-surgical procedures to reverse the ageing process, however these rumours have not been confirmed.
Lorraine Kelly has revealed that she relies on a good diet and skin care regime to keep herself looking young.
The 52 year old was awarded an OBE on the New Year’s Honour’s list and is a regular face on breakfast TV, with many male fans referring to her as a ‘yummy mummy’.
In an interview in the February issue of Good Housekeeping, Kelly said: “The thing is, if you go on a diet, you’re denying yourself. At the moment, I’m looking after myself as a bit of maintenance.
Hollywood actress Demi Moore has admitted that she has battled with her body for decades, and is only now learning to love it.

In an interview published in the Harper’s Bazaar February issue, Moore talked openly about her self-confidence and how this has changed with age.
Plastic surgery clinics in Queensland, Australia, have seen a continued rise in the number of men opting for face lift surgery.
A spokesman for the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons, Dr Mark Magnusson, said: “There have always been men getting [face lift surgery] done.”
He added that while the demand had risen in recent months, men had already been a notable presence in cosmetic surgery clinics, often opting for Botox and other non-surgical procedures as well as cosmetic surgery such as face lifts and blepharoplasty.
Cosmetic surgeons and skin care experts have revealed that the Christmas period is their busiest time of year.
Dr Franklin Rose, a plastic surgeon operating in Houston, Texas, said he saw a rise in the number of patients wanting face lifts. During December he performed approximately 20 face lifts a week, twice the number of patients he usually sees each week.
While the festive holiday period might seem like an unusual time to have cosmetic surgery, those in the industry attribute the rise in patients during December to the downtime from work. Surgeons and dermatologists believe that the holiday period gives patients time to recover and scars or redness time to fade.
Cosmetic surgery clinics are currently experiencing one of their busiest times of the year, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.
The paper said that some surgeons will have performed twice as many procedures such as weight-loss surgery and facelifts in the last few days, as patients take advantage of the Christmas and New Year holidays which allow them extra time to recuperate.
A 55-year-old investment banker has told US TV chat show host Oprah Winfrey how numerous cosmetic surgery procedures helped to further her career.

Plastic surgery procedures that are “visible” are proving to be the most popular with female patients.
Nose jobs, boob jobs and face lifts have topped a list of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures for 2010. According to the latest industry figures, 38,274 surgical procedures were carried out in 2010, compared with 36,482 in the previous year – an increase of 5 per cent. Of those who underwent procedures, almost 90 per cent (34,413) were women.
