Heidi Montag Recalls Plastic Surgery Horrors

Heidi Montag, who infamously underwent more than 10 operations in one day, is now sharing the painful memories and emotions of a journey for perfection.
In an ABC Primetime Special titled "Celebrity Plastic Surgery Gone Too Far?" airing last week, the plastic princess said she felt she would "die out of pain!"
"I thought that first night that I came out of the hospital I was going to die out of pain," Heidi Montag recalls now. "I looked like I was hit by a truck."

Montag has now confirmed most, if not all, of her surgeries this year:

• Nose job
• Brow lift
• Chin shaving
• Back scooped out
• Ears pinned back
• Lipo on inner/outer thighs
• Fat injected into her cheeks
• Absolutely hilarious, FREAKISHLY GIGANTIC breast implants

She says after the trauma, "I couldn't event go to the bathroom. I couldn't even walk for days. My face was so swollen. My back was so black and blue."
The Hills star is heaping blame on her surgeon, the late Dr. Frank Ryan, but people close to him say she's obsessed and wouldn't take no for an answer.
"I do not feel like I was prepared enough for this," Montag said. "How can you know when your doctor says it's just a little this, it's just a little that."
"It really becomes a lot. Doctors should walk you through all aspects of it not just the glamorous side of it," she says, with serious buyer's remorse.
A friend of Ryan's says that contrarily, she was not only taking her obsession with plastic surgery way too far, she was obsessed with him personally.
She also wanted him to make her a human Barbie doll.
"He sent texts and emails saying she wanted to be Barbie, to look exactly like Barbie," a friend said, adding that Ryan tried to talk her OUT of it.

Taylor Swift & Jake Gyllenhaal: Actually Photographed Together!

You've heard the rumors. You've read the quotes from anonymous sources. But you still haven't seen Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal together.
Until now!
Following a Thanksgiving morning spent at a Brooklyn coffee shop, this likely couple visited Swift's hometown of Nashville over the weekend. Yesterday afternoon, the two were seen getting breafast at Fido, a coffeehouse and café near Vanderbilt University. Allow us to present actual evidence this time:

Swiftenhaal: Alive and well!

"They were smiling and laughing. They were talking a lot and enjoying each other's company," a witness told People. "They didn't look like friends."
Another customer named Emma Rice, who posted this picture online, added that Taylor and Jake looked "very cute" and "seemed close."

Lindsay Lohan: Free For a Day

Lindsay Lohan enjoyed a temporary respite from rehab this weekend. On the docket for the troubled, recovering actress? Coffee and cigarettes.
Guess caffeine and nicotine rank pretty far down the list of Lindsay Lohan vices. Kicking her addictions to cocaine and alcohol are top priorities.
Here's LiLo at a local Starbucks near Palm Springs ...

The 24-year-old spent Thanksgiving with her dad. While she and Michael Lohan are on better terms, he hasn't been able to get Linds to quit smoking.
Last month, when the reunited twosome began to mend fences, MiLo sent her an electric cigarette as part of a care package, apparently to no avail.
Oh well. Maybe that'll come after she completes her stint in rehab, which has been going on for two months-plus and seems to be working wonders.

Alex Rodriguez and Cameron Diaz: Back On?

A month after parting ways, are Cameron Diaz and Alex Rodriguez back on? It looks like it after they were spotted getting cozy over dinner in West Hollywood.
"They looked super couple-y," an insider told Us about the actress and New York Yankees slugger. "Cameron was holding his hand and kept nuzzling him."
Friends say the reconciliation shouldn't come as a surprise.

CAMROD: Are Rodriguez and Diaz back together?

"They break up and get back together all the time," notes a source close to Diaz and A-Rod, who parted ways in October because "they needed some space."
Maybe they got too much space and couldn't resist each other?
While the actress was recently linked with Glee star Matthew Morrison - the two hung out at L.A. lounge Bardot - that fling has since sizzled, so stay tuned!

Kate Gosselin on Troubled Kids: The Pressure is Getting to Them!

In the wake of two of her children getting expelled from school, Kate Gosselin went on record, discussing the situation personally for the first time with ET.
Asked if Collin and Alexis Gosselin were in fact expelled, she said, "Two of my kids, no, are being tutored at home, with a teacher who is working closely with our kindergarten teachers in school, doing the identical curriculum."
So basically ... they were kicked out.

Kate says life in the spotlight is hard for the kids.

The-recently divorced reality star says that, "All the pressure was getting to them," explaining, "You have a lot of the divorce anger mixed in with that."
"The goal is to get them back into school as soon as possible," she adds.
But will their deep-rooted rage issues and bullying tendencies subside?
Kate also discussed the rumor that her upcoming TLC show, Twist of Kate, had been canceled. Kate says that no, "We're sort of still trying to shape it [into] what it needs, what is going to be fun. So no, it's not canceled."
Fortunately for the kids, Thanksgiving came and went without incident.
"We were able to work out the holiday time peacefully," she said of splitting time with her ex-husband, Jon Gosselin. "So I had the first half, he had the second half, and, we just take it year by year, and holiday by holiday."
Kate and the kids appear on a Kate Plus Eight special Sunday on TLC.
So it goes for the diva facing financial ruin ...

Michael Brea Admits to Killing "Demon" Inside Mother, Provides Chilling Details of Crime

Actor Michael Brea gave a chilling interview to The New York Daily News today.
The small-time thespian, who was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly killing his mother with a three-foot sword, opened up to the newspaper and said "I didn't kill her. I killed the demon inside her."

Before ending the life of 55-year old Yannick Brea, Michael said a number of visions gave him no choice.
"I was sleeping in my bedroom. God came above my bed and reached his arm to me. I said, 'God, is my time on earth over?' I heard a voice say, 'Yes Michael, today is your last day.'"
The actor also said a  man put a curse on him at Prince Hall Masonic Temple in Harlem and that strangers came up to him on a subway ride to Brooklyn:
"I felt like Neo from The Matrix. I began hearing voices and feeling powerful. They were asking about the difference between mom and mother. It was a sign."
Brea went on to detail Tuesday evening: he arrived home in Prospect Heights and hugged his mom because "I knew I would never see her again." He subsequently entered his bedroom and lit candles before putting a dagger and a ceremonial Freemason sword by his side.
When he went into the kitchen, he claims Yannick "had the voice of the demon. I opened the door with the dagger at my side and the sword. I asked, 'Do you believe in God?' She said, 'No, Michael no,' and began screaming. I began slashing her like this," the actor outlined, while slamming his right hand down in a violent hacking motion.
"I didn't want to kill her right away," he said. "I wanted to give her time to get right with God... I just kept cutting her. No one could stop me. I was doing the work of God."
When police arrived on the scene, there was blood everywhere and Yannick was on her knees in the bathroom. Brea stood with the sword in one hand and Masonic Bible in the other.
He says he has no remorse over the crime.
