Rib Tickler
Urban legend or not? I’ve heard and read that Janet Jackson the seemingly sanest member of the Jackson clan has had some surgery. No not the kind that made MJ show up on all the worst of plastic surgery lists; but having one or more ribs removed to appear thinner. First the mill said she had the lower ones removed, then low and behold I read (honest I did) that she had ALL of them removed. This is one of the stories where you tell a friend then she/he tells a friend and before you know it the story has become down right stupid. Having one rib removed would make you think that the person is slightly obsessed with their appearance. But for someone to say she had all of them taken out, c’mon. Number one, how can that be anatomically possible? Don’t you need the ribs to kind of hold your innards (yes I said innards) in place? The whole point is at what point do we cross the line of striving to be healthy and fit to being ridicuously fixated with appearance, and what kind of example are you setting? Accepted or not celebrities are role models and should think about the signals they send. This falls into the “hot mess” category.
