Vienna Girardi has ditched, as of late. She's also recently said 'so long' to a similarly less than stellar 25-year relationship -- with her nose. The blonde beauty recently underwent a rhinoplasty procedure and she's thrilled with the results.
According to Us Magazine, Girardi's transformation was an inside job. "The Bachelor Pad 2" star's surgeon, Dr. Franklin Rose, is father to fellow "Bachelor" alum, Erica Rose.
Although plastic surgery used to be an under the table transaction in showbiz, more and more celebrities are now admitting that they've gone under the knife and are proud that they had a hand in curating their own happiness -- however skin deep it may be.Sometimes our beauty is seen differently from within ourselves than what reflects in society's mirror," Girardi told Us. "I went through life questioning myself in the mirror, but my reflection smiles now.
Kathy Griffin recently admitted that plastic surgery allowed her to find that balance between "funny and pretty." Although Griffin was more than aware that going under the knife could place her at the butt of the joke rather than at the helm of the punchline, she took the risk for the sake of her own self-esteem.But plastic surgery isn't all glitz and glam, Girardi did admit via the social networking site that there is a downside to going under the knife, "Couldn't wear makeup during my ET interview bc of surgery... Dnt judge me lol.

Sophie Monk was born in England, but her parents moved to Australia's Gold Coast in Queensland. She also spent time at Somerset College and MacGregor State High School . Whilst at MacGregor State High School, she was a School Captain in her senior year (1997), and was enlisted in the school's CAD (Center of Artistic Development) Program. Prior to, during and after her experience as a member of Popstars, Monk dated Chris Cooper from Tasmania, with whom she split shortly before moving to the United States.
Her professional music career began in 1999 when she responded to an advertisement at the recommendation of her mother which requested girls with vocal and dance experience. The advertisement was for the Australian television series, Popstars, a TV talent show which aimed to create a successful new girl group. Monk, who has been trained in classical and pop singing and has been performing since she was eight years old, drove all night to audition.
She began work on her solo career, re-signing a solo contract with Warner Music. She travelled overseas to work with some well-known producers including hit maker Rob Davis (famous for co-writing Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out Of My Head") and this resulted in two tracks, "Inside Outside", Monk's debut solo single and the album track "Don't Push It". Sophie performed her new single for the very first time in September on the grand final edition of the AFL Footy Show at Rod Laver Arena.
Sophie Monk has since established herself in Hollywood. Although most of her roles have been reasonably small, she did play Marilyn Monroe for a high-budget telemovie The Mystery Of Natalie Wood (2004) and starred in the music video "Always" for rock group blink-182.
