Michelle Visage opens up on 'very scary' plastic surgery decisions
The 56-year-old star had her own breast implants removed in 2019 and, as the host of Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind, she is now dealing with celebrity influencers who regret their own decisions to go under the knife.
She told E! News: "I think there's people in this show, in this house, that were considering this, and it's a very scary thing. And Dr Dubrow can tell you how he's gonna do it, but he didn't actually have breast implants removed, and I have walked that walk.
"It is a perfect fit because I have been there and I love all these people in the house, and it just felt like the right thing for me."
The RuPaul's Drag Race judge is completely on board with the "trend" of opening up about plastic surgery regrets, and is hopeful that her efforts will stop the younger generations from being so quick to alter their appearance.
She said: "I love that that trend is happening now because plastic surgery regret is a real, actual thing. And the more that we talk about it, the more that the next generation can see 'Oh, maybe I'm gonna hold off and wait...' because I'm telling you - what you get at 21 or 22 is totally different at 46 or 56."
However, Michelle noted that some participants in the reality show have to weigh up a reversal of their plastic surgery even though they "make a living" from how they look.
She added: "I think all of them knew what they have done but a lot of them had concerns of 'If I change this...' For example, Larissa and Sophia make their money with it. So they were afraid if they go smaller then they might not make as much money as they do for a living. Hollywood is no joke, man!"

The Wind Up – Watch News #330

Welcome back to The Wind Up, our weekly series highlighting the newest watches of the past seven days, and what a week it has been! Alongside the expected (but still very welcome) chronograph and GMT inclusions, we've encountered a real-world incarnation of a video-game prop worn by none other than Norman Reedus' digital alter ego, as well as an always exciting new effort from our friends at Ressence. The further addition of a Sparkling Rainbow timepiece from Ulysse Nardin means this has been a far-from-standard week in the wonderful world of horology. With that, happy reading and have a great week ahead. Hamilton American Classic Boulton Death Stranding 2 Limited Edition | Image: Hamilton Hamilton American Classic Boulton Death Stranding 2 Limited Edition Brand : Hamilton : Hamilton Model : American Classic Boulton Death Stranding 2 Limited Edition : American Classic Boulton Death Stranding 2 Limited Edition Reference : Ref.

The iconic watchmaker, revered for its stellar assortment of field watches and dress ensembles, has unveiled a new collaborative project with renowned video game designer Hideo Kojima, the mastermind behind cult classic Death Stranding. As part of the joint venture, a futuristic Boulton-inspired Hamilton timepiece is set to appear in Kojima's long-awaited sequel, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, in addition to being released as a limited-edition reference. This week, Hamilton finally gave us a first look at the video game-themed American Classic Boulton Death Stranding 2 Limited Edition, and it must be said, it is a bona fide stunner. For video game fans, Death Stranding 2 could well be the most anticipated game of the year. Featuring world-class voice talent such as The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus and James Bond's Léa Seydoux, Kojima's latest effort is said to push the narrative and experiential boundaries of gaming. The accompanying timepiece follows a similar theme, arriving in a futuristic titanium case finished with a black PVD treatment. What's more, for Kojima, the partnership with Hamilton represented more than just a sharing of ideas. 'More than half a century ago, in the late 1960s, one of my favourite film directors, Stanley Kubrick, commissioned Hamilton to create the watch that appears in his film 2001: A Space Odyssey. I feel very honoured to have been able to create the watch that appears in my latest work, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, together with Hamilton,' Kojima said. 'Both 2001: A Space Odyssey and Death Stranding 2: On the Beach are set in a slightly futuristic world beyond the actual time period in which they were created. Hamilton, which has provided watches for many films, was a perfect choice as a partner to design and create a product set in the near future, which is an extension of the present. Please take this watch in your hands and experience the product that connects the world of the game and the real world.' According to Hamilton, design cues from the Boulton are seen in the sleek, arching lines of the titanium case, a material that reduced the watch's weight by 45 per cent while also improving its anti-corrosive properties. Remarkably, the watch utilises seven sapphire crystals: one primary viewing window with two columns of three on each side, matching the lines of the case. This unique, never-before-seen case shape creates a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, which is matched by the minimalist grey indicators on the face and contrasting orange lacquered seconds hand and 12 o'clock index. Inside, you'll find a three-hand automatic 25-jewel movement with an 80-hour power reserve and a Nivachron balance spring. Limited to just 2,000 pieces worldwide, each with individual case back numbering, the Hamilton American Classic Boulton Death Stranding 2 Limited Edition is the ultimate collector's piece. Complete with packaging inspired by narrative elements from the game as well as a bespoke cleaning cloth unique to the collaboration, the timepiece does an incredible job of bringing the Death Stranding world from the screen to the wrist. Ressence Type 9 S75 | Image: Ressence Ressence Type 9 S75 Brand: Ressence Ressence Model: Type 9 S75 Type 9 S75 Diameter: 39mm 39mm Thickness: 11mm 11mm Material : Titanium : Titanium Movement: Calibre ROCS 9 Calibre ROCS 9 Power Reserve: 36 hours 36 hours Water Resistance: Splash resistant Splash resistant Price: CHF15,500 (Limited to 20 pieces) To celebrate Ahmed Seddiqi's 75th anniversary and its long-standing partnership with the esteemed retailer, Ressence has unveiled the Type 9 S75. In true Ressence form, this unique timepiece has a lot more to it than meets the eye. The masterful creators of the world's most remarkable and innovative watches have again revisited the dial design, capturing the very essence of Ahmed Seddiqi's home in the U.A.E—in more ways than one. Limited to just 20 pieces, the TYPE 9 S75's dial is filled with real sand sourced in equal proportions from the dunes of all seven Emirates of the U.A.E. The result, according to Ressence founder Benoît Mintiens, is an inimitable, fully functional mechanical watch that brings the texture of the desert into motion, without compromising the purity and clarity of the dial. 'Central to this project is the idea of measuring time through the motion of sand grains,' Mintiens explained. 'This watch stands at the crossroads between the ancient hourglass, the organic dome of the dial echoing the texture of dunes, and the regional origin of the piece, symbolised by a blend of sand gathered from all seven Emirates. All expressed through a contemporary watch design for the 21st century. That's a lot for a 39mm watch.' From a technical perspective, the TYPE 9 S75 is a marvel of modern engineering. Once the grains of sand are sourced, they are then bonded to the rotating titanium discs, creating a one-of-a-kind textured finish. That, coupled with Ressence's incredible patented ROCS 9 displaying hours and minutes layout, makes for a serious piece of horological excellence. Mido Ocean Star GMT | Image: Mido Mido Ocean Star GMT Brand: Mido Mido Model: Ocean Star GMT Ocean Star GMT Reference: Ref. M026.629.37.291.00 Ref. M026.629.37.291.00 Diameter: 44mm 44mm Water Resistance: 200 metres 200 metres Movement: Calibre 80 Calibre 80 Power Reserve: 80 hours 80 hours Price: AUD$2,375 As a proud owner of a Mido Ocean Star 200, I can attest to the brand's build quality and general sensibilities. A no-nonsense, to-the-point daily driver, the Ocean Star collection is an ode to mindful utilitarianism, affordability, and real-world applicability. The latest iteration of the Ocean Star GMT offers all that and more. From the yellow gold-coloured PVD-coated case to the added GMT function, the Mido Ocean Star GMT looks and feels far more expensive than its AUD$2,375 price tag lets on. The dial layout is clean and legible, with the GMT function clearly displaying the time in two different time zones without cluttering the aesthetic. Interestingly, Mido has also engraved time-zone indications on the back of the sporty Swiss watch, providing extra clarity and a little easter egg for those lucky enough a snag the timepiece. Insde, the Ocea Star GMT is powered by the calibre 80 automatic movement, which offers a power reserve of up to 80 hours and supreme accuracy for the price. As always, the rubber band fares well on the wrist, and it offers a certain nostalgic charm thanks to its warm colourway. Love it. Ulysse Nardin Blast | Image: The Hour Glass Ulysse Nardin Blast Brand: Ulysse Nardin Ulysse Nardin Model: Blast Blast Reference: Ref. 1720-400B1LE-9A-RAIN/3A Ref. 1720-400B1LE-9A-RAIN/3A Diameter: 45mm 45mm Thickness: 13.35mm 13.35mm Material : White gold : White gold Water Resistance: 50 metres 50 metres Movement: Calibre UN-172 Manufacture Skeleton Movement Calibre UN-172 Manufacture Skeleton Movement Power Reserve: 72 hours 72 hours Price: AUD$781,400 Fresh off releasing the world's lightest mechanical dive watch, Ulysse Nardin has again stepped into the world of high engineering. This time around, the result borders on the absurd. The brand's latest effort, the Blast , is an exceptional eight-piece limited-edition watch that is set with a bevy of rainbow-coloured sapphires. Audacious, intricate and overly luxurious, this timepiece is a perfect example of the company's watchmaking savoir-faire. According to Ulysee Nardin, the new 45mm white gold Blast is decorated with 211 coloured sapphires invisibly set into the case, bezel, crown, dial and clasp, totalling 13.33 carats. Together, these stones transform the Blast from a piece of horological excellence to a high-jewellery masterpiece. Inside, the craftsmanship is just as exquisite. The timepiece is powered by Ulysse Nardin's independent integrated UN-172 manufacture skeleton movement. This self-winding power source features a flying tourbillon with a platinum micro-rotor (visible at 12 o'clock), a silicon escapement and hairspring, and a 72-hour power reserve. The Ulysse Nardin Blast is, in a word, incredible, and it has a price tag to match. The new timepiece will set you back a cool AUD$781,400, provided you are one of the lucky eight people to snag one. Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Chronograph | Image: Jaeger-LeCoultre Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Chronograph Brand: Jaeger-LeCoultre Jaeger-LeCoultre Model: Polaris Chronograph Polaris Chronograph Reference: Ref. Q9028651 Ref. Q9028651 Diameter: 42mm 42mm Thickness: 13.39mm 13.39mm Material : Stainless steel : Stainless steel Movement: Calibre 761 Calibre 761 Power Reserve: 65 hours 65 hours Water Resistance: 100 metres 100 metres Price: AUD$24,400 When Jaeger-LeCoultre unveils a new timepiece, the watch world takes note, and the latest variation of the Polaris Chronograph is no exception. Reference Q9028651 sports the same unique and funky Ocean Grey aesthetic that we saw on last year's Polaris Date and Polaris Geographic, a look that arrives courtesy of a complex lacquering process that involves 35 layers and meticulous polishing. However, despite the timepiece's visual similarities, there are some undeniable differences with this year's release. The 42mm chronograph is powered by the in-house Calibre 761, which Jaeger-LeCoultre promises will deliver 65 hours of power reserve. The integrated chronograph movement is best characterised by its column wheel with vertical clutch design, which provides enhanced stability and accuracy. On the dial, Jaeger-LeCoultre has adorned the Polaris Chronograph with a central chronograph seconds hand to enable more precise reading. This is then balanced by the 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock, the sub-dial at 9 o'clock serves as a running indicator with a small seconds display. Offered with a pair of interchangeable straps in black rubber and blue-grey fabric, the Polaris Chronograph is an awesome bit of kit that combines all of our favourite things from JLC: quality, workmanship and an eye for details. Greubel Forsey GMT Balancier Convexe | Image: Greubel Forsey Greubel Forsey GMT Balancier Convexe Brand: Greubel Forsey Greubel Forsey Model: GMT Balancier Convexe GMT Balancier Convexe Diameter: 44.90mm 44.90mm Thickness: 17.60mm 17.60mm Material : Titanium : Titanium Water Resistance: 50 metres 50 metres Movement: GMT Balancier Convexe GMT Balancier Convexe Power Reserve: 70 hours 70 hours Price: Price on request At the very end of the wide-ranging spectrum of horology sits the newest piece from Greubel Forsey. The GMT Balancier Convexe is an exploration of horological endeavour, taking watch development to its extremities and delivering supreme accuracy, design and innovation in the process. If you ask me, this is less of a new release and more of a dimension revamp, with Greubel Forsey opting to shave off a few millimetres from its existing GMT Balancier Convexe model. Improved wearability from the case size reduction comes alongside a new escape wheel that boasts more decoration with thinner spokes and contrasting grained finishing. Another addition is a power reserve indicator, but all eyes are on that immense spinning globe, which thankfully hasn't been changed. Insane stuff.

The Wind Up – Watch News #332
By Mr Dimitri Tsilioris - News Published: 27 Jul 2025 |Last Updated: 25 Jul 2025 Share Copy Link 0 Readtime: 5 min Every product is carefully selected by our editors and experts. If you buy from a link, we may earn a commission. Learn more. For more information on how we test products, click here. Welcome to the next edition of your watch news go-to, The Wind Up, our weekly series highlighting the newest watches of the past seven days, and what a week it has been! Alongside a suite of stunning new high-complication models from the world's biggest and brightest watchmakers, there were a few surprise announcements that landed this week. In this latest instalment, we'll be featuring some of the coolest new watches, including pieces from the likes of Cartier and Greubel Forsey, alongside a very fun release from Louis Erard and Konstantin Chaykin. Happy reading, fellas, and I hope you have a great week ahead. Cartier Tank Américaine Platinum | Image: Cartier Cartier Tank Américaine Platinum Brand: Cartier Cartier Model: Tank Américaine Platinum Tank Américaine Platinum Reference: Ref. CRWGTA0367 Ref. CRWGTA0367 Diameter: 44.40mm 44.40mm Thickness: 8.60mm 8.60mm Material : Platinum : Platinum Movement: Calibre 1899 MC Calibre 1899 MC Power Reserve: 40 hours 40 hours Water Resistance: 30 metres 30 metres Price: €26,400 (Limited to 120 pieces) Made for the European market in a limited run of only 120 pieces, the new Cartier Tank Américaine Platinum pairs a platinum case with an abstract blue dial. The bold flat edges of the platinum case open the door to a very interesting geometric dial made with a technique known as camaïeu, complete with different shades of blue and linear patterns. It's a stellar throwback to the design codes of yesteryear, and Cartier has made the bold decision to release the latest piece in three case sizes (Mini, Small, Medium and Large). The first three are powered by quartz with only the Large Medium copping a mechanical movement. This art deco look is the perfect play for the Tank Américaine's aesthetic, and is topped off by the eight-sided crown set with a faceted ruby. For lovers of Art Deco, this timepiece has all the hallmarks you'd expect for a period piece, right down to the alternating shades of blue on the dial. Importantly, Cartier has also dropped the signature railway minutes track, ensuring the piece conforms to the streamlined, minimalist geometric language. The Cartier Tank Américaine Platinum's architectural look is on full display here, and will be available throughout Europe only. Greubel Forsey Balancier Contemporain | Image: Greubel Forsey Greubel Forsey Balancier Contemporain Brand: Greubel Forsey Greubel Forsey Model: Balancier Contemporain Balancier Contemporain Diameter: 39.60mm 39.60mm Thickness: 12.25mm 12.25mm Material : Stainless steel : Stainless steel Movement: Balancier Contemporain Balancier Contemporain Power Reserve: 70 hours 70 hours Water Resistance: 30 metres 30 metres Price: CHF220,000 (Limited to 33 pieces) This week, we officially bid farewell to the highly revered but near-impossible-to-buy Balancier Contemporain from Greubel Forsey. Not one to go out without a bang, the watchmaker has issued one final edition, and it is a stone-cold stunner. The 33-piece stainless steel limited edition Balancier Contemporain is the last we'll see of the esteemed collection and remains very in keeping with the independent watchmaker's iconic aesthetic. The new timepiece follows the exact dimensions of the original 2019 Balancier Contemporain, measuring a slim 39.6mm in diameter and just 12.25mm in height. Contrasting previous releases, however, the final edition takes things in a new direction material-wise. The stainless steel model marks a slightly different change of tack for Greubel Forsey, a sentiment that is matched by the introduction of a sunburst blue finish on the hour and minute displays. Finishing is, of course, second to none. Black-polishing, laser-engraved text, white gold screws, blue-treated German silver, the Balancier Contemporain has it all and then some. A finale of epic proportions. Time Eater Tourbillon Louis Erard x Konstantin Chaykin | Image: Konstantin Chaykin Time Eater Tourbillon Louis Erard x Konstantin Chaykin Brand: Louis Erard x Konstantin Chaykin Louis Erard x Konstantin Chaykin Model: Time Eater Tourbillon Time Eater Tourbillon Reference: Ref. 89241AA9xx Ref. 89241AA9xx Diameter: 42mm 42mm Thickness: 12.65mm 12.65mm Material : Stainless steel : Stainless steel Movement: Calibre BCP T02 Calibre BCP T02 Power Reserve: 100 hours 100 hours Water Resistance: 50 metres 50 metres Price: CHF19,900 (Limited to 78 pieces in green, 28 pieces in blue) From Louis Erard and Konstantin Chaykin, we have the final Time Eater variant in the Time Eater Tourbillon. The new timepiece still carries its monster-inspired visuals, but with the addition of a complication, the Time Eater Tourbillon makes for a more interesting package from a watchmaking perspective. From the rolling eye to the gaping mouth that houses the tourbillon, the Time Eater Tourbillon is anything but conventional. And while it is a polarising piece that won't have mass appeal, it's hard to argue just how cool and creative it is. Biver Minute Repeater Carillon Tourbillon Signature Series | Image: Biver Biver Minute Repeater Carillon Tourbillon Signature Series Brand: Biver Biver Model: Minute Repeater Carillon Tourbillon Signature Series Minute Repeater Carillon Tourbillon Signature Series Diameter: 42mm 42mm Thickness: 13.70mm 13.70mm Material : Titanium; Titanium and rose gold : Titanium; Titanium and rose gold Movement: Calibre JCB.001-B Calibre JCB.001-B Power Reserve: 72 hours 72 hours Water Resistance: 50 metres 50 metres Price: CHF475,000 New from Biver is the Minute Repeater Carillon Tourbillon Signature Series. In this new series of super high end watches, we have two distinct models, one in titanium and the other in titanium and rose gold. Both models look rather simple, but as always, there is more to them than meets the eye. The Minute Repeater Carillon Tourbillon Signature Series houses a tourbillon and a minute repeater. This kind of very complicated watchmaking is often unheard of outside of the Holy Trinity and its close peers, but in partnership with Le Cercle des Horlogers, Biver was able to produce this micro-masterpiece. Not bad for half a million.

Bad Bunny teases his movie future following Happy Gilmore 2
Bad Bunny wants to star in more movies following Happy Gilmore 2. The 31-year-old rapper joined Adam Sandler, 58, for the 2025 comedy flick, and Bad Bunny has now revealed he is hoping to 'explore different genres' in film. Speaking to E! News, he said: 'I hope to keep doing comedy, but also, I am hoping to explore different genres, like drama … keep doing action, like Bullet Train.' Bad Bunny - whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio - was showered with praise by his Happy Gilmore 2 co-star Sandler, who led the Netflix movie as the titular golfer. He gushed: '[Bad Bunny] is just in it. They call 'action' and Benito is ready to go, and stays focused and was the guy he wanted to be the whole time.' Happy Gilmore 2 - which is the sequel to the beloved 1996 comedy movie Happy Gilmore - follows the retired hockey player-turned-golf legend as he returns to the green to mentor a hot-headed new prodigy. When an old rival resurfaces, Happy must reclaim his swing and his spirit to save the game he loves. Looking to the future, Sandler admitted he had 'never even thought of' making a third Happy Gilmore movie, though insisted he had also never considered Happy Gilmore 2 being a possibility either. When asked if a third Happy Gilmore film was on the table, Sandler said: 'I never even thought of that. But I never thought of Happy Gilmore 2 either, so we'll see.' The Grown Ups star previously admitted it was constant fan pressure that had led to him getting the ball rolling on Happy Gilmore 2. During an appearance on Good Morning America, Sandler said: 'When I walk[ed] down the street a lot of times people [would] say, 'You ever gonna do Happy Gilmore 2?' 'And for 28 years, I was like, 'What are you talking about? No.' And then all of a sudden, I was like, 'Maybe' ... people kept asking. And then it just felt right.' Happy Gilmore 2 also stars Ben Stiller as Hal L., Christopher McDonald, as Shooter McGavin, Julie Bowen as Virginia Venit and NFL star Travis Kelce as a hotel employee. When asked about the wide-ranging cast, Sandler said: 'I don't know how it happened. We wrote 'em stuff and everybody was kind enough to come. And everybody in it did a great job. 'Every day someone cool would show up and we'd hang out.'
