You guys: Bristol Palin did not have plastic surgery. Nope. Not at all. What she had was “corrective” jaw surgery. If you think she looks better now, it’s just a coincidence! “Yes, it improved the way I look, but this surgery was necessary for medical reasons,” Bristol tells Us magazine. She explains that she had the procedure so that her jaw and teeth would align properly. Growing up, she had braces, but the dentist warned her that she might need surgery someday. We always thought that this kind of surgery required having your jaw broken, reset and wired shut — a process that could take a year or so — not an in-and-out thing, like, say, a chin implant. But Bristol will have us know that she is not the kind of girl who would have a purely cosmetic procedure: “I wouldn’t get plastic surgery unless I got in an accident or something terrible and got disfigured.” Aren’t you glad that is cleared up? Phew. [AP]

Sarah Ferguson taped Oprah‘s show yesterday, and talked about how it hurt to miss the royal wedding. “I was not invited,” the Duchess of York said. “I went through the phase of feeling so totally worthless and that it was quite right they didn’t invite me.

[Daily Mail]
The Duchess also says: “It was so hard because the last bride up that aisle was me.” And: “I really love the feeling that sort of [Princess] Diana and I both weren’t there.” Say what now? [Page Six]
