Plastic Surgery for Heidi`s Mommy?
HAMMER: Did you see this? Now, wait for it. Wait for it. Boom! Whoa! Get a load of this. That truck was driving down a highway with its dumpster up in the air and it totally annihilated that pedestrian walkway. It`s in Istanbul where this happened. The driver tells police he thinks the dumpster raised all by itself while he was driving. I`m thinking, yes, I guess he would feel that if it happened. Right. Amazingly, there was a person on the bridge who actually survived. That will teach a person not to dump and drive. Welcome back to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. I`m A.J. Hammer in New York with Brooke Anderson in Hollywood.</s>ANDERSON: Tonight, Heidi Montag`s plastic surgery obsession and the brand-new reports today that Heidi`s mom may be next to go under the knife.</s>HAMMER: Yes, the 23-year-old reality star, who has been slammed for her 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day has just dropped the bombshell claim that her own mother will also be getting a little work done. All of this comes on the heels of Heidi admitting in a brand-new interview just out today on "People.com" that she kept her family in the dark about the surgeries and will now be confronting them with TV cameras. That way, they can record their reaction for her MTV reality show, "The Hills." And also breaking today, brand-new evidence today that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are not splitting up. And all this is related to reports that Brad Pitt is buying a house in the Hollywood Hills as part of his master plan to split from Angelina. Joining me tonight from Hollywood is Jess Weiner who is an author and self-esteem expert. Also from Hollywood, Wendy Walsh, who is a TV journalist and doctor of psychology with the great "MomLogic.com." All right, guys. I`ve got to begin with Heidi Montag`s brand-new revelation today that her own mother, who was reportedly furious about Heidi`s plastic surgeries, may actually want some of that action and get some of her own. Heidi says, her mom "was excited and she is asking for her own surgery next for Mother`s Day. I have to ask Dr. Frank Ryan if he`ll do a mommy makeover." All right, Jess, to you first. I hear that and I`m thinking, wow, this is just nuts.</s>WEINER: I`m thinking this is a double dose of crazy today, A.J. You know, I don`t even know what to say anymore about the whole Heidi and plastic surgery thing. I think the moral lessons we can take from it speak for themselves. She clearly has some body dysmorphic disorder. She definitely has self-esteem issues. And she is the product of an unrealistic world called reality television.</s>S  HAMMER: Yes.</s>WEINER: And so everything Heidi says, we end up buying. She knows how to push a news cycle. She knows how to give a sound bite. I think we`ve got to get a little sad here for Heidi, because her worst fear, A.J., is that people will stop looking at her.</s>HAMMER: Yes. Well, Wendy Walsh, doctor of psychology, I need to ask you this. You know, we hear a lot about parents being a bad influence on their children, talk about a child being a bad influence on their parent, right?</s>WALSH: I think everyone has forgotten their roles here. Mothers are supposed to be mothers. They shouldn`t compete with their daughters in a beauty pageant. I mean, my two daughters will always be more young and more beautiful than me and I hope it stays that way. It is crazy to think of this. You know, there`s another piece that no one`s been bringing up is the danger. People die in plastic surgery. There are huge risks. This is major surgery. And 10 in one day? And then your mother? Come on.</s>HAMMER: Yes. I mean, it`s crazy. You know, I remember one time having an elective procedure of my own and thinking, "Wow, I will never voluntarily get that done" - elective in that it was a health-related, but still, the whole idea of going under, wow. And all of this, going back to Jess` point was about the fact she lives in her reality TV world, all this comes on the news that Heidi`s making her way back home to Colorado to reveal her brand-new look to her Mom and the rest of her family for the very first time. And of course, it is a trip that would not be complete without the cameras from her MTV reality show, "The Hills." Brooke Anderson, you know, I`m sure you, like me, are not surprised. I`m thinking that this is the height of shamelessness for Heidi Montag.</s>ANDERSON: Was there ever any question, A.J., that this girl is shameless? You know, but I am not surprised, because she wrings every ounce of publicity that she can out of every single move that she makes. I just really kind of feel for her family, that they weren`t able to speak with her in private first about all those plastic surgery procedures she had done. And have you seen her mother in these videos? She`s adorable.</s>HAMMER: Yes.</s>ANDERSON: And I really hope she doesn`t take the next step and become obsessed with plastic surgery like her daughter. I just think it`s all getting to the point of madness, because before we know it, everybody`s going to be walking around looking like a wax figure from Madame Tussauds.</s>HAMMER: No kidding. I mean, we certainly have seen that happen before with Hollywood stars. And looking at those pictures of her mom and Heidi - I mean, both beautiful women. All right. Let`s move on to the brand-new evidence today that all of the reports of Brad and Angelina breaking up is just nonsense. TMZ is reporting that Brad Pitt bought a house in the Hollywood Hills to expand the family compound, not to have as a little bachelor pad when they break up. Here are the main points they`re raising, that Brad purchased the home back in August. Now, the place, apparently, is a dump and Brad actually bought several other places to expand the compound. You know, they do have a big family. Jess, do you agree with me this is more evidence that the split rumors are bogus?</s>WEINER: I think they`re bogus. I also think that probably these tabloid mags and</s>HAMMER: Yes, no kidding. What do you think, Wendy Walsh? Because obviously, if he bought the house back in August, I would say that was a better sign that it was, in fact, because the family is growing or has grown beyond what they currently need and they want to accommodate that.</s>WALSH: A.J., I`m going out on a limb here, but if I had to put my betting money on any celebrity couple for a bit of a long haul, and of course, a long haul in celebrity terms is what, 24 months, this couple is going to make the long haul. They have combined assets. They have put their children first in their lives. They are raising children together. They came together to help children in Haiti giving a combined $1 million. And yes, they`re building a family compound and trying to stay as private as possible within it all.</s>HAMMER: Yes.</s>WALSH: I think this couple, considering the world they`re in, have their values somewhat straight.</s>HAMMER: Absolutely. I`m going to stay positive with you. I`ve got to get on to these startling results of our new SHOWBIZ TONIGHT poll where we asked about Tiger Woods` wife. SHOWBIZ TONIGHT first brought you the reports that she no longer wants to divorce him. We asked in our question of the day, should his wife really give him a second chance despite his cheating ways? The results just in late today, moments ago, just seconds from just when I`m speaking now, they were handed to me. Sixty-four percent said no; 36 percent said yes, she should. Now, Jess, one out of three people here saying, they should stay together. That actually is a lot more than I imagined.</s>WEINER: I know, A.J. I think I`m going to shock you with what I`m going to say. I think they actually should have a second chance together. And here`s why. I think he has some pretty big issues. And like we talked about John Edwards at the beginning and all the crazy stuff that he`s doing and the choices he`s making, I think Tiger has some pretty dark demons. And I know he`s been the butt of a lot of jokes lately.</s>HAMMER: Yes.</s>WEINER: But I would like to see this couple get another chance out of the limelight. I don`t know that sex rehab is the answer for him. But I think that they should try to work it out for the sake of the kids.</s>HAMMER: The only thing that I would say quickly - and I agree as far as the children - but it seems like it was never real. I mean, that`s the whole problem I have. Wendy Walsh, Jess Weiner, we`ve got to leave it there. Thanks, guys.</s>ANDERSON: Tonight, just when you thought we were out of the NBC late- night wars, Jay Leno drags us back in. Jay Leno`s unbelievable new revelations to Oprah today about Conan O`Brien. Has Jay completely cut ties with him? You`ve got to hear what he`s saying about their relationship now. And now, the "SHOWBIZ News Ticker" - more stories from the SHOWBIZ TONIGHT newsroom making news right now.</s>TEXT: "The Bachelor`s Jason Mesnick to marry runner-up Molly Malaney on ABC TV special. Taylor Swift sets digital record for best first week sales of "Today Was a Fairy Tale."</s>HAMMER: It is time now for "Making it Work" where Hollywood couples reveal how they make their relationships work. Tonight, it is the great Ringo Starr. The legendary Beatles drummer and his wife Barbara have been married for an astonishing 29 years. So when I sat down with Ringo, I just had to ask him how he has been making it work all these years, even after a hard day`s night.</s>RINGO STARR, FORMER BEATLES MEMBER: We are going to have a row. You know what I mean? We are going to have a hard day. But you get through them. You have to keep remembering, I love this woman. You know, thank god she remembers she loves me. And I think that`s the only key I know. I just feel blessed. I do. You know, she`s just the most incredible woman. And you know, I`ve said is before, God knows how she puts up with me.</s>HAMMER: This is SHOWBIZ TONIGHT on HLN.
