    Each year, about 220,000 teens have elected to get plastic surgery. It's up for debate whether or not that number is on the rise or the decline, but the problem persists. With almost a quarter million teenagers going under the knife for nose jobs, breast augmentations, ear shaping, and liposuction every 12 months, our teens are turning to cosmetic procedures in droves.

    So -- is it a problem? Could be. If these teens are choosing to solve their alleged self-image issues with surgeries aimed to make them look like the ostensible standard of beauty, then yes, there could be a problem here.

    As parents, what can we do about it?

    Well, at least Jennifer Love Hewitt knows what her true assets are! Giving an interview about her work playing a prostitute on The Client List, the boobalicious actress said she’d be up for getting her va-va-voom breasts insured

    "If somebody was like, 'Hey, you know what? We would like to insure your boobs for $2.5 million,' I'd be like, 'Do it. Love it! Why not?'" she said. Then she pointed at her boobs and declared, "These things right here are worth $5 million!"

    She may have brought her "sparkle" to the Bachelor "Women Tell All" special last night -- but did you happen to notice that the dent in Tierra LiCausi's forehead was noticeably absent during her appearance?

    Yep, instead of looking like she'd been hit in the face with some sort of hard object, Tierra's forehead appeared smooth, flawless, and well -- dent-free.

    And other than using some sort of magic potion to erase her trademark flaw, there's really only one possible explanation for how Tierra managed to go from having a dent to being totally perfect.

    Was somebody shining a flashlight in Renee Zellweger's eyes last night?! Or maybe she forgot her contact lenses? I don't know what it is, but there must be some reason why she looked like she was channelling Mr. Magoo while presenting the Academy Award for Best Original Score last night. I mean, it's been a little while since we've seen Renee Zellweger, but I'm pretty sure that stiff, squinty-eyed thing is something new. Unless Richard Gere forgot to shower or Queen Latifah stepped in dog poo backstage, there are really only two possible explanations for the new & not-improved Renee. And those are ...

    When I first heard the rumor about Kim Kardashian having a vampire facelift to make herself look younger, my first thought was, "What the heck is a vampire facelift? Is that where you watch Twilight while getting Botox or something like that?"

    Yeah -- not quite. As it turns out, this is an actual cosmetic procedure in which your blood is literally sucked out of your face and then components are injected back in again in the hopes of smoothing wrinkles, boosting the production of new blood cells and collagen, and making the skin look, well -- younger and more supple.

    Facial fillers and Botox are incredibly popular in Hollywood because they are a great way to shave years off your face without going under the knife -- if your plastic surgeon knows what he's doing, that is. We've all seen what happens when doctors go overboard with the needle -- that constantly frozen, pillow-faced look a la Real Housewives. But you'd be surprised how many celebrities are using fillers and Botox and who come out looking like ... well, themselves! Dr. Robert Guida, a leading facial plastic surgeon in Manhattan who does these procedures daily, says fillers and Botox done right do not look "fake" at all. "If people start looking the same, the surgeon is doing it wrong," he says. "Fillers should enhance one's facial expressions, natural appearance, and individuality." 

    Here are 6 examples of celebrities who have probably, almost definitely gotten a little facial smoothing and plumping, but who look so natural you'd never guess in a million years.

    The Walking Dead marathon has consumed the free spaces in my weekend, and I didn’t think I’d see anything much scarier. Some of those walkers are pretty gruesome, what with the greyish flesh and gooey, blood-gorged mouths and scary brown teeth and all. But the latest sighting of Lil’ Kim is downright terrifying. This woman has gone through some dramatic plastic surgery metamorphoses, but it took a double take and a hard squint to recognize her after her most recent reconstruction.

    Lindsay Lohan and her new lips attended one of New York City's glitziest events last night, the amfAR fundraiser that raises money for AIDS research, without an invitation. She allegedly attended as a "friend" of some rich Saudi oil heir and decided to go "last minute." What remains to be seen, though, is when she actually decided to super glue those Vienna sausages to her mouth and coat them in a taupe lipstick.

    Not that she needed to explain herself, but Nicole Kidman has finally come clean about her long-talked-about Botox use. The actress admitted to Italy's La Repubblica that, as of now, her face is completely natural, but that she did have a brief tryst with Hollywood's beloved syringe in the past.

    I don't think you need to be Paul Nassif to know that, duh, of course Nicole had Botox. But you'll be quite surprised to hear exactly what she thinks of it. And some people are suspicious that Nikki isn't being completely truthful when she claims she "had" Botox.

    Do you ever see a hairstyle or an outfit on a celebrity -- or heck, even another girl -- and run out and try to duplicate it, because what you saw looked soooo awesome? Of course you have. We all have. I don't know a woman alive who's never brought a photo of someone famous with them to the salon at some point. (Jessica Biel's bangs? Yes, please!) And that's cool. That's basically the point of celebrities, isn't it? But when it gets into using celeb body parts for plastic surgery inspo, we have a problem. Apparently, the hot, new nose on the block is Kate Middleton's. And women everywhere are going under the knife to emerge looking like the Duchess.

    They do know Wills won't be waiting for them when they wake up, right?
