You know who got some renovations?  Rosie O’Donnell.  She just revealed she got a facelift.  The 64-year-old comedian says it wasn’t an easy decision.  “I used to feel very strongly about facelifts.  I thought it was a betrayal.  Of feminism.  Of aging.  Of our team of women worldwide.  It wasn’t wrinkles – it was gravity.  I’d look in the mirror and think – this isn’t aging.  This is melting with intention.”  Rosie’s youngest child Clay was against the procedure, pointing out that Rosie is a feminist role model.  That’s when Rosie decided to go forward.  “I want them to grow up in a world where they don’t feel like they have to change but also know they can, if they want to, without losing moral standing in their own life.”  Rosie was very clear with her doctor that she didn’t want anything drastic.  “I grabbed my doctor’s hand and said, ‘I will never say, ‘God, I wish you did more.’  And I meant it.”  In fact, she only looks well rested.  Apparently you pay for subtlety.  The procedure “cost more money than I have ever paid for a car.”  Yeah, but you can hide your car in the garage!

Even Pope Leo is getting some work done – by way of new vestments.  And you know who is making this new set of robes?  An openly gay man.  Filippo Sorcinelli spends 1,000 hours making each robe by hand.  They cost upward of $7,500 each – which I think by Vatican standards is a bargain.  Here’s the best part – counting Leo, Filippo has dressed three Popes…including that Nazi pope!  “I have never seen faith and sexuality as a battle, but as a creative tension that fuels my work.  My experience of the Church has always been one of welcome.  No one has ever stopped me at the threshold of a church.”  I’m sure it helps that vestments rarely have inseams.
