The Governator vs. Kanye?

California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has vetoed the so-called Donda West Law (named after Kanye West's late mother who died shortly after having plastic surgery), passed by legislators several months ago. It would have required all patients to undergo a physical exam and get a doctor's clearance before plastic surgery. According to the L.A. Times,

In vetoing the measure, Schwarzenegger said this summer's historic, 85-day delay in passage of a state budget left him with time to enact only the highest-priority legislation for California."This bill does not meet that standard, and I cannot sign it at this time," states the veto message, which he applied to dozens of others Sunday.

There are lots of young, healthy people who undergo plastic surgery who don't need an actual preoperative clearance. I usually clear any patients who have pre-existing medical problems or are over 40 years old. Also, I always use a fully accredited surgical facility with a board-certified anesthesiologist.

Nice implants on that woman next to Arnold, by the way...

Lopez's Surprise at Pixie Posh

No stranger to image experimentation herself, Jennifer Lopez says she was surprised by Victoria Beckham's recently-cropped hair.

"I was so shocked. I arranged to meet up with her the day she had it done. She didn’t tell me what she was doing, so I turned up and there was she was with this incredibly short black hair. I was knocked out," says Lopez. "I told her she looked like Audrey Hepburn. I think she’s such a great girl."

Like Audrey? Careful now.

Becks' Books

David Beckham just can't sit still, apparently. He's already been encouraging youngsters to follow their footie dreams with his youth soccer academy but now he's doing it in writing. Becks will leave the field long enough to pen a series of books aimed at the seven year-old set. The books will focus on stories about young soccer players and include tips and tactics too.

His spokesperson says, “David is particularly pleased that The Academy has inspired a series of books that will bring children to reading through football.”

I Love Sports

What’s your favorite sports?

I only have few sports that I can say I am master or at least above average, like table tennis and bad minton. I know other supports but am still not good at them. At least with these two I could compete with confidence.

Any sports activity is not only fun but it’s healthy. It’s much easier to lose weight or to stay fit when you play a sport you like than walking in your treadmill or doing some routines every morning.

With Sports you are playing and getting fit, shedding off the excess pounds or taming your muscles without the pressure you get from using common exercising tools. For instance using a treadmill takes like eternity before you really sweat. It’s not fun too. But doing your favorite sports is fun and you won’t notice the time. You’ll spend hours and hours playing and burning those fats and you hardly notice it.

Playing Bad Minton has a huge impact on my life, physically and emotionally. It’s such a light sports but includes a lot of movement. It helped me lose some weight and helped me emotionally. We all know that when you don’t feel good about how you look, you won’t feel good inside too. Playing Bad Minton has helped me a lot.

Here’s a memorable Bad Minton event that I really like. The players were really good and the game included one of the longest rally of the match. Watch it below:
