Heidi Montag Regrets Plastic Surgery Marathon
SARA GILBERT, CO-HOST, CBS`S "THE TALK": I feel like people are buying lingerie into their 40s, and I wish that Heidi wouldn`t retire. Like, I think it`s great for this country to see all ages. She`s beautiful. Put your underwear on.</s>HAMMER: It`s always a great time when I visit my friends over at "The Talk." That`s co-host Sara Gilbert, sounding off on the big news that Heidi Klum is now done walking the runway in lingerie since she`s hit 40. Heidi has made some pretty provocative choices in her career. You remember that naked music video with her ex-husband Seal? That brings us to No. 8 on our "Top Ten Countdown" here on SBT. Talking about the most provocative celebrities of the year with the ladies of "The Talk." Kanye West, Miley Cyrus, Robin Thicke? Who could possibly take top honors as the most controversial and influential of 2013? Who should we get ready to name as the most provocative celebrity of the year? Well, I put that question to Sara, along with Aisha Tyler, Sharon Osbourne, Sheryl Underwood, and the lovely Julie Chen.</s>JULIE CHEN, CO-HOST, CBS`S "THE TALK": Miley Cyrus. It has to be.</s>AISHA TYLER, CO-HOST, CBS`S "THE TALK": How could it not be? And there have been other provocative people, obviously. I think the three you`ve talked about a bit: Kanye, Miley and Justin Bieber, but I think that Miley by far. Right?</s>SHARON OSBOURNE, CO-HOST, CBS`S "THE TALK": I think the others come into the category of stupid, but she`s for real.</s>HAMMER: Are you talking about -- are you talking about peeing in a bucket, Sharon?</s>GILBERT: She`s being provocative on purpose. It`s part of her brand. I think that`s what Sharon is politely trying to say.</s>HAMMER: That was polite for Sharon. Right.</s>HAMMER: Well, the ladies certainly are never shy, but you are going to have to wait to see who SBT names as the most provocative celebrity of the year. That leads us to No. 7 on our countdown. Heidi`s plastic surgery regrets. Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, TV`s most notorious reality show couple, who claim they blew through a whopping 10 million bucks, both say they now regret Heidi`s 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day marathon, but not only because it cost them a bundle of cash. Spencer admits he was too lost in fame to even take notice of Heidi`s pain, and Heidi is now saying it was her doctor who kicked off her quest for perfection.</s>HEIDI MONTAG, REALITY TV STAR: I had my nose re-broken by a backup dancer, and I just was going in to get it fixed. And once I was there with the doctor, he was like, "Oh, and your breasts are smaller, and I would do this, and you should get a mini eyebrow lift, and what about your chin?" And this and that. So I left there kind of in shock and really insecure and in horror like, "Oh, my gosh, I really didn`t realize I had that much wrong with me." And then, you know, when you have this surgeon basically diagnosing what`s wrong with you, I just got really insecure. And I, you know, just got way too caught up, and it sounded easy, and I didn`t research it, and I was irresponsible with my choices.</s>HAMMER: Interesting hearing your perspective on it now. Spencer, I was always wondering, when Heidi was going through all of this, what the heck were you thinking? Were you there rooting her on because she was your partner, or were you pulling her aside and saying, "You know what? You may want to rethink all this" or "Maybe you`re being kind of nuts"?</s>SPENCER PRATT, REALITY TV STAR: I was just not really thinking about much going on at any time. During all that, I was so deep in, you know, the TV show and everything that, when she was like, "Oh, I`m doing this and this," it`s like, oh, great. She made it out the way her doctor made it out, it was like alterations on an outfit. Like you know, you want to do that? Great. Do what you`re going to do. But I was definitely so lost in just fame that, you know, I was not thinking like normal human beings at that time.</s>HAMMER: Well, I love -- I love the fact...</s>PRATT: Like I...</s>HAMMER: I`m sorry. I do love the fact that you`re saying all this and admitting how self-involved you were at the time, but here you are still together. And I think that says a lot about the evolution that you guys have experienced together.</s>MONTAG: Yes.</s>PRATT: Yes. I would definitely say, as much as it was a nightmare, everything, with the surgeries and everything, it`s definitely made us so much stronger, you know. It was awful being her nurse through all of it, but it definitely made me love her more, because you know, you`re not even supposed to see your loved one, like, in that much pain. You know, especially not like where they choose to be in that much pain. Usually it`s like a car accident or something.</s>MONTAG: Yes.</s>PRATT: So definitely -- it`s definitely made us stronger as a couple.</s>HAMMER: I can`t imagine. I`ve told people the story before, that I had an operation for a deviated septum. Obviously, I did not correct the size of my nose at the time. It was more of a breathing thing. I had to have it done. It was so excruciating and so awful and so painful, when I came out of the procedure, I thought, "I can`t believe anybody has anything done like this voluntarily." It just kind of blew my mind.</s>MONTAG: It`s very traumatizing. People don`t really get into the psychology of it and aftermath of it. You think you just go in, you get fixed, it`s fine, but there are repercussions. And it is really tolling on, you know, your spirit and everything that you go through, and it`s a very severe, serious procedure. All of them.</s>HAMMER: You clearly have learned your lesson through it, and I know you`ve recently have undergone some major surgery once again, corrective surgery to reduce your breast size. When you look in the mirror now, Heidi, how do you see yourself?</s>MONTAG: I feel so much more like myself. I feel normal again. I feel fresh; I feel healthy; I feel a lot lighter. I feel very thankful that it didn`t get worse than the problems were. I can have feeling in my arm again, so my arm`s not numb and my nerves in my back are returning to normal, so I just feel really grateful.</s>HAMMER: Another star is confessing her biggest regrets. It`s Britney Spears. In a brand-new interview, Britney is revealing the absolute worst thing that she`s ever done in her career. I`m going to give you a hint. It was caught on tape, and it made everyone stop dead in their tracks. Plus, Miley is No. 1 again.</s>MUSIC: MILEY CYRUS`S "WRECKING BALL")</s>HAMMER: MTV names Miley Cyrus the Best New Artist of the Year. No brainer or no fair? Which pop princess will be No. 1? This is SBT on HLN.
