Jamie Lee Curtis says she regrets undergoing plastic surgery in her 20s: It was not a good thing
revealed she underwent cosmetic surgery in her 20s after her looks were criticised by a cinematographer on the set of her 1985 film 'Perfect' set. However, the award winning actress said she has regretted the decision ever since.
During an appearance on '60 minutes', Lee Curtis said: "(The cinematographer) was like: 'Yeah, I'm not shooting her today. Her eyes are baggy'. And I was 25? So, for him to say that was very embarrassing. So as soon as the movie finished, I ended up having some plastic surgery.
When asked how the surgery went, Lee Curtis replied: "Not well. That's just not what you wanna do when you're 25 or 26. And I regretted it immediately and have kind of sort of regretted it since... Way so now because I've become a really public advocate to say to women: 'You're gorgeous and you're perfect the way you are.' So oh, yeah I ... it was not a good thing for me to do."
The surgery also led the actress to start taking pain killers and she developed an addiction which she was eventually able to kick.

She added: "They give them [pain killers] to you. I became very enamored with the warm bath of an opiate. You know, (I) drank a little bit ... never to excess, never any big public demonstrations, I was very quiet, very private about it but it became a dependency for sure.
Lee Curtis has spoken openly about her struggle with addiction, but admits she was more worried about how becoming a spokesperson for Activia yoghurt would impact her career than her tale of drug abuse.
She quipped: "I think I worried more that selling yogurt that makes you was gonna impact my career than for me to acknowledge that I had an addiction... I make the joke. It's a funny joke but it's true."
The actress added that she took on jobs like being the face of Activia because the money allowed her to spend more time at home with her kids.
She said: "For the most part (those jobs)... they allowed me to stay home with my kids. So ... I am an imperfect, you know, working mom because no working moms are perfect ... We make it look good. We think we've done it. But the truth is, we feel badly."
"But I know how much time away from them I spent in pursuit of my own creativity. "

The team of Baby came together in Hyderabad to celebrate the film's remarkable achievement at the 71st National Film Awards, where it won two prestigious honours — Best Screenplay for director Sai Rajesh and Best Playback Singer for PVNS Rohith for the hit track Premistunna. Speaking at the press meet, singer PVNS Rohith expressed his joy, saying, 'Before Baby, my career was uncertain. When I got the opportunity to sing Premistunna, I treated it as a do-or-die moment. Winning the National Award feels surreal.' Director Sai Rajesh shared, 'Baby lived in my mind for two years. I rewrote every scene multiple times. Winning Best Screenplay is a proud moment. And Rohith's voice made Premistunna a soul-stirring anthem.' Producer SKN called the achievement a proud moment for Telugu cinema, saying, 'This film has brought not just awards like Filmfare and SIIMA, but now National recognition too. A good film brings honour, not just profits.' Actor Anand Deverakonda called the win a dream come true: 'Seeing 'National Award Winner' on our poster is overwhelming. Baby truly became a cult hit.'

Create a shared digital scrapbook with memories, photos, inside jokes, and song links. Use Google Slides or Canva to keep it collaborative. Voice notes and audio memories: Instead of texting, record a heartfelt voice note. Or better yet, create an audio montage of your shared memories. Mixtape still is unbeatable when it comes to expressing what we feel for them and how important they are to us. What you can't put into words, use songs to convey those emotions! It's quirky, creative, and one-of-a-kind, and on top of that, tearworks guaranteed! DIY friendship band kit: You can always get them those store-bought friendship bands. Better yet, make them yourself. And in case you're thinking of a shared experience in an art and craft class—just the way you used to have back in school—create your own friendship band kits with your buddies. Or simply send them by post, paste a stamp for a retro but touching gift. Virtual game/movie night: If you think long-distance relationships are tough, try keeping up with a long-distance friendship. It's tougher. It's a train of wanting to see your best mates, yearning to go out for a cup of coffee with them, or take them shopping for books and clothes, and crying inconsolably because—thanks to the l-o-n-g distance—you can't. So, if you're apart and longing for some time together with your friends, host an online trivia game or play multiplayer games like Skribbl, Among Us, or Uno online. Or if you're in the mood to binge-watch some content online, plan away; FRIENDS is only a few clicks away!

Is Priyanka Chopra Making Her Bollywood Comeback With Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love And War?
Priyanka Chopra's recent throwback post about Ram Chahe Leela has sparked major speculation about her return to Bollywood. It's been a while since Priyanka Chopra graced the Hindi film screen — six years, to be precise. Ever since the global icon shifted base to the US in 2015, she's made only two Bollywood appearances, the most recent being The Sky Is Pink in 2019. But if recent speculation is to be believed, the desi girl might just be on the cusp of a long-awaited homecoming. On Friday, Chopra set the internet abuzz with a rare throwback post on Instagram — a tribute to her fiery dance number Ram Chahe Leela from Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela (2013). What stood out wasn't just the choice of memory but the unusually long, heartfelt caption that accompanied it — a rarity for the actor when it comes to revisiting past work. Sharing an insight into how the iconic number came to be, Priyanka wrote, 'When Sanjay Sir came to me with this song, it was a complicated decision, but he, as a filmmaker, has always inspired me. His creative mind, his nostalgic stories usually over incredible food, the conversations of art and music to dance… the beauty of the yesteryears but also what the future holds. And then he played the song… and I knew I was her." She went on to recall working with choreographer Vishnu Deva and cinematographer Ravi Varman, adding, 'Under Sanjay sir's guidance, Ravi Varman's cinematography shone, and Vishnu Deva's choreography was magic. Him and I would rehearse during lunch breaks every day to perfect the dance sequences. This brings back such great memories." While the post read like a sentimental throwback, it also sparked intense speculation online. Industry insiders began to wonder: Was this more than just nostalgia? Now, a source has confirmed to Hindustan Times that the post may, in fact, be a subtle nod to something on the horizon — a possible special appearance in Bhansali's next directorial, Love & War. According to the source, Priyanka may feature in a high-octane special number in the period war drama, which stars Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal. While nothing has been officially signed yet, discussions are reportedly underway. If the collaboration materialises, it would mark Chopra's grand return to Hindi cinema — and that too with the very filmmaker who gave her one of her most celebrated dance numbers. Love & War, currently under production, is slated for release on March 20, 2026, and is being mounted on an epic scale. Reports suggest Bhansali is planning a face-off sequence between Ranbir and Vicky that could rival some of the most iconic scenes in Indian cinema history. Meanwhile, Priyanka is also committed to a major Indian production — SSMB29, her upcoming pan-India film with SS Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu. The ambitious venture also features Prithviraj Sukumaran, though the release date remains under wraps. The film is being pegged as one of the most anticipated cinematic events of the decade.
