Quickies: Kathy Griffin Nixes More Nip-Tucking & More

It has taken several years and lots of stitches, but Kathy Griffin has finally realized she likes herself just the way she is. "I've been off the junk, as I call it, for five years," the 47-year-old "My Life on the D-List" funnywoman tells Fitness magazine. "I've had a face lift, eye job and all that stuff five years ago. What I found, though, was that it didn't help me one bit." Pronounces the been-there, tightened-that Griffin, "It didn't get me happier or didn't make me look particularly younger." The tireless self-promoter admits she spent "20 years of my life obsessing about 10, 15 pounds, and what I found as a comedian ... is that nobody expected me to come out in a bikini anyway." These days, she's perfectly content living scalpel-free. "I'll say to my younger friends, 'C'mon, I have a hot body, right?' I mean, not a hot body Hollywood-style ... but it's hot for 47," shares Kathy. "So that's my new thing -- I like my body now ... I've come to terms with the fact that I'm never going to be Jennifer Aniston."

Gwyneth models the "Key to the Cure" T-shirt.

Gwyneth Paltrow is doing a good deed and remaining fashionable while doing it. The actress has become the newest Entertainment Industry Foundation ambassador for Saks Fifth Avenue's Key to the Cure fundraising campaign, following in the footsteps of fellow Oscar winners such as Renee Zellweger, Charlize Theron and Hilary Swank. As part of the cancer-fighting initiative, Gwyneth will pop up in ads and a public service announcement sporting an arrow-emblazoned, Karl Lagerfeld-designed, limited-edition T-shirt, which will go on sale at Saks on Oct. 1. "It looks like somebody drew on the shirt, and it's sweet and cool at the same time," she tells Women's Wear Daily of the top, which will retail for $40 ($35-plus will go to the charity). "It looks quite homemade, which I really like." Paltrow, who lost her dad, Bruce, to cancer in 2002, says she feels compelled to chip in to fill the organization's coffers. "If there is anything I can do to help raise money, especially with a charity like this, I will," she proclaims. "I read about the charity and how aggressively they are trying to find a cure, not only for women's cancers but also for other cancers. They target a lot of different areas out there ... It's an issue that touched me in a lot of ways." And if you're wondering about the Mercedes key chain in Gwyn's hand, the luxury car company is also a sponsor, and will offer a thousand special editions of its S550 sedan to benefit the cause. They will retail for considerably more than $40.

Ali Lohan poses at the Los Angeles premiere of "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" on July 28.

Lindsay Lohan's little sis Ali may look like a seen-it-all soccer mom, but it's important to remember that she's only 14, especially when she unwittingly acts her little heart out for an adult filmmaker. TMZ.com says mom-ager Dina "went nuclear" when she discovered her fame-lusting little girl's painfully awkward audition for a starring role in the schlocky horror remake "Troll" -- featured on the season-ending episode of "Living Lohan" -- was in front of Peter Davy, whose X-rated oeuvre includes such unfairly Academy Award-ignored gems as "Breast Wishes 14" and "Voodoo Lust." "Ali obviously had no idea about Davy's past," her publicist assures Us (needlessly, since we didn't exactly take the teen for a porn aficionado). "If she did know, she never would have auditioned for him." Either way, she got the part. Meanwhile, Dina is vigorously denying that she was given the heave-ho from the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" afterparty Monday night in New York. E! News reports Dina, Ali and one of Ali's pals plopped themselves down at a reserved table, which they were promptly and "politely" asked to vacate. A spywitness says Dina "went ape----. It so wasn't cool." Mama Lohan was supposedly "quietly removed" from the bash. Nuh-uh, says Dina, who insists to E! that she left on her own because a staffer raised his voice to them and "made the girls uncomfortable. At that point, the girls wanted to leave."
