Brigitte Nielsen To Go Under The Knife For New German Reality Series

Posted by Nicole Ankowski



Did we mention she’d be awake the entire time, as well? Not that it’s a surprise: once you’ve made out with Flavor Flav and gone to rehab on television, what else is left to do?


Of course, Brigitte claims she has a higher purpose in airing her cellulite removal, and we kind of believe her (she was so cute without makeup in Celebrity Rehab): "The secrecy in Hollywood is annoying. You can see that the stars do not age naturally. It's not right that the fans, the normal women, are lied to.” Spiegel reports:

It won't be the first time the model and actress Brigitte Nielsen has gone under the knife, but it will be the first time millions of TV viewers will be able to watch the procedures.

Sylvester Stallone's ex-wife will have numerous plastic surgeries performed on her, and all the while a TV crew will film the operations for a three-part program to be broadcast on German TV channel RTL.

Nielsen, 44, said she hoped the show would break taboos around plastic surgery, the AP reported. "I know I am the first female celebrity in the world who has allowed herself to be filmed like that in an operating theater. I know I will be breaking a taboo. But I'm sure that it will provoke a new discussion. It's time things change. I feel 30 and want to look that way again."

Brigitte is going in for “a complete renewal,” including facelift, eyelift, fat injections in her face, liposuction, a breast lift and new teeth. And don’t worry — if you don’t have access to German television, you can check out her new bod in the December issue of Playboy.

We aren’t sure what’s more extensive: Brigitte’s planned surgeries, or the show’s title. Aus alt mach neu: Brigitte Nielsen in der Promi-Beautyklinik ("Making new out of old: Brigitte Nielsen in the celebrity clinic") will premiere July 13.

Brigitte needs a quick lesson in cultural studies: Orlan, a French artist, started filming herself as she underwent plastic surgery back in 1990, broadcasting her operations to art galleries around the world. She was awake for her surgeries as well. I suppose Brigitte's relying on having more "celebrity" than Orlan but this idea certainly isn't new...

Lindy Parker has worked as a ghostwriter, editor, dance instructor and a purveyor of dreams, one beer at a time. She loves Charles Dickens and Gabriel Garcia Marquez and also, straight-to-video releases with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. It's possible she reads more teen fiction than she should. She hails from Los Angeles, her hometown and soul mate, but she lives in Brooklyn, the fling she'll never forget.

Olivia Purnell left Ohio for sunny Los Angeles; then found that she couldn’t ignore New York City’s call, and brought herself to Brooklyn where she has worked with GenArt, BlackBook, the School of American Ballet, and finished an M.A. in Creative Writing from N.Y.U. She loves one-liners with sting and hates the stench of the subway in the summer. That said, she can’t get enough of either.

Jake Kalish is a freelance journalist and humorist whose work has appeared in Details, Maxim, Stuff, New York Press, Spin, Blender, Men's Fitness, Poets and Writers, and Playboy, among other publications. He is also the author of Santa vs. Satan: The Official Compendium of Imaginary Fights.

She just earned her MFA in Creative Writing and has been published in Beeswax literary journal. She is unable to resist good writing or bad TV.
