Warped Reality: Heidi Montag's Super Surgeries

THE BIG, RED blemish on television's complexion is the reality celebrity. These rabid fame-seekers — yes, you, Tila Tequila, the Kardashian sisters, Jon Gosselin — earned their notoriety (and tabloid covers) for a willingness to air their messy lives (and, often, their lack of underwear) to the world. Then, in order to stay in the E! News circuit, their antics get more desperate and disturbing.

Arguably the worst of the bunch is married "Hills" stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag — aka Speidi, above — who elbowed their way back onto the gossip cycle this month when 23-year-old Montag unveiled the results of a recent 10-procedure bout of plastic surgery.

Montag — formerly viewed as the saner half of the couple — has made the TV rounds defending her actions, at least as much as her face (creepily frozen from Botox and a brow lift) will allow. The aspiring singer has come under attack for setting a bad example for fans (We pause to ask: What fans?). But one look at her disturbingly sculpted visage and awkwardly enormous cleavage and it's clear her actions might just have the opposite effect, turning potential patients off the idea of plastic surgery forever.
