Heidi Montag Addicted To Plastic Surgery

heidi-montag-people-1Heidi Montag is basically a Barbie: pretty, blonde and plastic. In a recent People magazine interview, the 23-year-old star of The Hills decided to go under the knife for a second time and have a ridiculous 10 plastic-surgery procedures in one day. Heidi Montag of 2010 is completely different.

“For the past three years, I’ve thought about what to have done,” she said. “I’m beyond obsessed.”

Her transformation began on November 20, when she had a nose job revision, a mini brow lift, bigger breast implants and buttock augmentation. She already had breast implants from 2007, when she moved to LA and felt “flat and insecure.”

“I was made fun of when I was younger, and so I had insecurities, especially after I moved to L.A.,” Heidi said. “People said I had a ‘Jay Leno chin;’ they’d circle it on blogs and say nasty things.”

Now that Heidi wants to be a pop singer, she believes her looks are even more important. “I’m competing against the Britney Spearses of the world — and when she was in her prime, it was her sex appeal that sold,” Heidi said. “Obviously, looks matter; it’s a superficial industry.”

I’m not against the idea of plastic surgery, but this is overkill, don’t you think? Heidi is 23 and gorgeous, and I just hate that she’s sending the message to all the girls watching her that that’s still not good enough. Why are we so obsessed with the idea of perfection, especially when this perceived “perfection” isn’t even humanly possible?
