Angelina Jolie has one of the most famous faces in the world — and it’s all natural, she insists.

“I haven’t had anything done and I don’t think I will,” Jolie, 35, says in a new interview with British paper The Daily Mail. “But if it makes somebody happy then that’s up to them. I’m not in somebody else’s skin to know what makes them feel better about themselves. But I don’t plan to do it myself.”

In the extensive interview, the actress opens up about life with Brad Pitt and their six kids — who’ve helped her “enjoy” her high-flying career. “I enjoy the work more now because I enjoy life more,” she says. “When you have children the whole world shifts for you. You have these little people that make you laugh and remind you every day of what is important, and you get to be their parent and that’s the most important thing you’ll ever be. Everything else comes from that.”

The Jolie-Pitts had a blast shooting The Tourist in Venice last spring. “My whole family came, so we had this beautiful home looking out at the Grand Canal,” she said. “The kids got very familiar with it and they often did their homework in boats, to break up the day.”

Date nights away from the kids, Jolie added, are crucial: “You also have to stay focused on each other so that you stay strong. And you staying strong as a couple keeps the kids in an even better place.”

The city of canals made for some watery date nights, she admitted. “One night Brad and I went out to dinner and I wanted to get dressed up and wear my heels. By the time we’d finished dinner we had to borrow welly boots because the water had risen so high that you couldn’t walk down the street,” she explained. “But that’s the magic of Venice.”

The Oscar-winning star also had fun bonding with her costar Johnny Depp and his family during the shoot. “We got together as families,” she told the Daily Mail. “Brad, Vanessa and all the kids; that was lovely. Just family stuff.”

What kind of lessons are she and Pitt teaching Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox? “Hopefully I’m giving my children the sense that they are deeply loved and deeply safe,” Jolie mused. “At the same time we are hopefully encouraging their individuality as they get to know who they are, and not getting in the way of that. That’s why they are six very strong individuals.”

Once again, she shoots down concern over daughter Shiloh’s tomboy look. “I don’t think it’s for the world to interpret anything,” Jolie says of her 4-year-old. “She likes to dress like a boy and wants her hair cut like a boy and she wanted to be called ‘John’ for a while…she wants to be like her brothers. It’s who she is. It’s been a surprise to us and it’s really interesting, but she’s so much more than that –- she’s funny and sweet and pretty. But she does love a tie.”

In plastic surgery, there are basically 3 golden rules. 1) You can’t make a plain person attractive, 2) You can’t change bone structure, 3) You can’t take more than 10 years off a face. However, Cindy Jackson broke all those rules and set a world record. She is frequently regarded as barbie-made-flesh, with her perfect figure and she looks at least 25 years younger (probably more) than her biological age. Living-doll Cindy has completely blown this theory to smithereens, that personality can sometimes win the day, as men just simply drool all over her due to her stirking physical perfection.

With her blonde hair, perfect face and to-die-for figure that would have made her the perfect one to be in Gatacca, it is easy to assume that Cindy is merely a ditzy bimbo. However, this London socialite and ‘it’ girl boasts of an IQ of 164 and Mensa membership. Cindy has started plastic surgery since 1988 and here’s a checklist of her procedures done:

• Eye lifts
• Nose jobs
• Cheek implants
• Lip enhancement
• Cosmetic Dentistry
• Chin reduction
• Jaw reshaped
• Facelifts
• Breast implants in
• Breast implants out
• Dermabrasion
• Chemical peels
• Fat transfers
• Liposuction
• Filler injections
• Laser treatment
• And much more…

With laser-beam precision, she has repositioned tissue, cartilage and bone to transform herself into one of the most desirable women of the late 20th century, as quoted by Corinna Honan, The Daily Telegraph. What makes Cindy even more desirable is the fact that she looks really beautiful and natural like she’s born with it.

Watching Cindy’s documentary on TV and reading her biography, it fills me with awe, horror, respect, jealousy and in conflict all rolled into one. First, I have to salute Cindy’s courage to undergo so many surgeries and to endure great pain and sacrifice for her ultimate quest to be beautiful. I really respect her integrity and her relentless pursuit of her dreams and goals. She is now living the dream life that she’s been longing for all her life. I’ve seen pictures of her recuperating from her surgery and they looked really scary and too painful to even look at. I actually had to hold my gag reflexes while watching her documentary. It was that bad.

Then, why jealousy? Obviously because she is downright smack perfect! How I wish I have half of her perfection! OK, I’ve admitted that I’m jealous of her. But, I’m not so petty, just a fleeting feeling *wink*

Cindy’s plastic surgery transformation since the ’80s till now

Now, why in conflict you say? I think plastic surgery makes it increasingly unfair to those who are born naturally beautiful. It’s no longer a privilege to be born beautiful because with money and the scalpel of a great surgeon, anyone can be beautiful now. Natural beauty is no longer a gift but it’s as easy as buying lunch (with all the botox lunch parties and even nose job lunch break craze). A little tweak and a nip/tuck, and voila a masterpiece has been created and the world is your oyster. It also raises the bar for beauty standards to crazy new heights, thus putting unnecessary pressure for us women to conform to the standards of beauty. It really is increasingly difficult to be satisfied with our own body image these days.

What do you think? Would you have done what Cindy has done if you had the resources to fund your surgeries? Have you toyed with the idea of plastic surgery personally?

Orange County Breast Augmentation

We were still recovering from New Year’s Eve when the gossip girls over at Radar reported that actress Blake Lively — who plays bad-girl-gone-good Serena van der Woodsen on the CW series “Gossip Girl,” chronicling the life and loves of annoyingly good-looking, wealthy and privileged New York City prepsters — didn’t always have such a spectacular profile.

According to Radar’s well-placed source, Lively, 20, had the rhinoplasty after filming wrapped on 2006′s “Accepted.” (Multiple calls and e-mails to Lively’s publicists asking for confirmation were not returned by the time of their posting, they said.)

But photos and old videos, well, they just do not lie. We were reminded of this when “Access Hollywood” unearthed an old clip of Blake, then 17, promoting the release of “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.” See the video here, and check out Blake’s newer, thinner, more refined nose, top right, at the 2008 Teen Choice Awards, compared to her old natural nob, top left, at the 2005 Teen Choice Awards.

Nice work, Blake.

On a more earth-shattering note, People is reporting that Lively, unlike her TV character, has “kissed just three people.”

“I’ve kissed just three people in my life, other than stuff that I’ve done for TV or movies,” she says. “I know — I’m weird!”

Do we believe her? I mean, first the quietly executed nose job. Now this information about a practically non-existent love life? We’re a little suspicious …
