Alicia Douvall, who is known for being a cosmetic surgery fanatic, has blown 1 million pounds on her assets but wishes that doctors should have stopped her.

The 34-year-old English glamour model, who has had a record 330 procedures, has undergone boob jobs, facelifts and even rib and toe shortening operations, the Daily Star reported.

She claimed that she once took a Barbie to one of the consultation to show them exactly what she was after, but they didn't stop her as they as they only wanted her hard earned money.

The most nipped and tucked woman on the planet said that it would be humiliating to get her name in The Guinness Book Of Records.

The mum-of-two explained that it's not something to boast about and she is not proud of herself.

Douvall, from Middlesex, who was once having painful ops at the rate of one a week, had to go to rehab three times to be treated for her addiction to plastic surgery.

Aniston's fiance feels naked without jeans and boots

Jennifer Aniston's fiance Justin Theroux says he is a jeans and boots guy and does not like experimenting much with his clothes.

The 41-year-old writer-actor has penned a fun piece for the April issue of Esquire magazine to reveal why he sticks to his jeans and boots even in summers.

"A friend once shared with me an idiotic maxim: Regardless of the season, a guy's 'attire should always be winter from the waist down: jeans and boots," Theroux writes.

"Chuckling, I dismissed the quote until it dawned on me that he had just described a hips-down uniform I've slavishly adhered to ever since I stopped wearing training pants and Grip 'n' Gos."

The Wanderlust actor says he is averse to anything that is loose fitting.

"Maybe it's my long-standing aversion to almost anything loose fitting. Maybe my loyalty to these jeans and boots isn't so much an endorsement of them as it is an expression of my distaste for anything else."

Theroux, who proposed to Aniston, 44, in August 2012, says he'd rather sweat than wear anything else.

"The truth is, I'd feel naked without jeans and boots (a feeling that's amplified when I'm actually naked) but in spite of the shin sweat that pours into my boots every summer, I'll still likely be wearing them long after I've traded in my motorcycle for a Jazzy," he said.

  • Circular, 360A degree shaped breasts.

Women surveyed were shown a range of photos and measurements of which they chose 34D as the perfect size.

American designer sues Yoko Ono for copying her designs

A Brooklyn fashion designer has filed a lawsuit against Yoko Ono, claiming she ripped off her wacky new clothing line and tried to pass it off as her own.

Haleh Nematzadeh claimed John Lennon's 80-year-old widow's design team saw sketches of her women's line before tweaking it and selling the knockoffs online, the New York Post reported.

Nematzadeh, who owns the Bushwick-based clothing firm Smashing Starlets, said she met with photographers working for Opening Ceremony, a retailer that now sells Ono's fashion line, in July hoping to get images of her Gonna Walk the Night collection in the store's catalogue.

The fotogs were supposed to meet Nematzadeh for a shoot but instead teamed up with Ono's designers, who altered the garments into a men's line without permission, the designer claimed.

On Opening Ceremony's Web site, Ono says her fashion line -- which features nipple holes and handprints on crotches -- is a tribute to her late Beatle hubby's hot body.

"I was inspired to create Fashion for Men, (because I was) amazed at how my man was looking so great. I felt it was a pity if we could not make clothes emphasizing his very sexy bod," it reads.

But Nematzadeh's suit, filed in Brooklyn federal court Friday, calls Ono's statement a 'feeble attempt' to claim the designs as her own.

"She's trying to put fetish in context, but since when does fetish and John Lennon go together?" she said.

"When you think of the Beatles, you think of doves and trees, not that," she added.
