Debbie Harry's plastic surgery confession: ‘It felt necessary'
Riding a recent wave of plastic surgery confessionals, Debbie Harry divulged that cosmetic surgery was 'necessary' for her career as an entertainer.
'As far as me having cosmetic surgery, it made me feel better about myself,' the Blondie singer, 80, told Vanity Fair.
'Maybe it made me feel happy, or more confident,' the hit maker added, explaining that plastic surgery 'was just something that felt necessary at the time.'
'I wanted to work, and so much of women being attractive, and being a selling point, is clearly showbiz,' she said. 'If you're going to be in the business, be in it.'
When asked about the pressure of looking 'good' in the entertainment industry, the Heart of Glass singer also said the topic of cosmetic surgery now comes up at a younger age.

'It's not like I started having cosmetic surgery as a kid in school — I think nowadays a lot of girls are getting cosmetic surgery when they're 10, 11 years old,' she said.
'God bless if it improves their lives and they feel happy.'
The golden-haired singer's candid confession comes amid a spate of celebrity plastic surgery tell-alls.
On Monday, Khloe Kardashian, 41, took to the comments thread of a reel by Dr. Jonathan Betteridge in which he speculated about what cosmetic procedures and surgeries she might have undergone.
The Good American co-founder replied with a detailed list of her procedures, including a nose job and her infamous salmon sperm facials.
On June 2, cosmetics mogul Kylie Jenner, 27, shared the exact details of her breast augmentation after a TikTok user requested information on the 'most perfect, natural boob job ever.'
The mum of two replied in the comments thread, '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!!'

Meanwhile, mum Kris Jenner, 69, took to the comments thread of a June 4 Instagram post by Kylie's surgeon, Dr. Garth Fisher, to share her own experience with him.
'Garth you are a superstar class act!!' Kris commented after the physician gushed via Instagram that he was 'honoured to be acknowledged by Kylie.'
'You did my first facelift in 2011 … 14 years ago!!! and made it the most amazing experience ever and even gave us access to film so that others could get a peek inside what it's like and not be afraid,' the reality TV star divulged.
The momager added, 'You have taken great care of us always and remain such a close and treasured friend!! Such an incredible talent!!️'
Fans are loving Kris' makeover so much that they're saying she resembles her supermodel daughter Kendall, 29. A rep for the reality icon confirmed to Page Six in May that Dr. Steven Levine of New York was responsible for her youthful look.
Also in June, Honestly Cavallari star Kristin Cavallari, 38, took to an Instagram Stories Q&A to share her breast augmentation specs after a fan asked 'What size did you get?' and called her their 'boob-spiration.'
'I was 300 cc before and now I'm 340,' the Uncommon James designer replied. 'Everyone thinks I went a lot bigger but I've just pushed them up a couple of times since getting them done.'

Tennis power couple Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Bedosa splits again during Wimbledon
Swirling rumours in recent weeks that tennis power couple Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Bedosa have separated are intensifying during a disastrous Wimbledon campaign for both. The pair, who started dating just over two years ago, have unfollowed each other on social media and have erased all traces of their relationship from Instagram. Badosa and Tsitsipas have a combined 3.2 million Instagram followers between them, and are regular posters on the platform, including several photos of each other over the past two years. But a quick scroll on each of their accounts now shows no sign of one another. It comes as both tennis stars failed to reach the second round at the All England Club. Former world No.3 Tsitsipas retired hurt against Valentin Royer after succumbing to a persistent back injury. The 24th-seeded Greek called for a medical timeout in the second set and had treatment in an attempt to push on, but eventually pulled the pin when trailing 6-3, 6-2. No.9 seed Badosa, meantime, ran into a white-hot Katie Boulter, who beat the Spaniard 6-2, 3-6, 6-4 on Centre Court for one of the biggest wins of her career. Tsitsipas and Badosa's relationship has had a rocky history, including a well documented reconciliation in May 2024 after a break earlier that month. At that point, it appeared the pair had put their differences behind them. 'We are together,' Tsitsipas said at the time. 'Some people have made up stories about us, but Paula didn't do anything wrong and neither did I. 'It had been difficult for us to be apart and I have been through some very difficult times.' The duo, which were dubbed 'Tsitsidosa' during their time together, are yet to make public comment on the situation, but it's understood they have split amicably.
