Jane Fonda Admits to More Plastic Surgery 10 Years After Swearing It Off

Fonda is bluntly facing up to recently having undergone a few nips and tucks. Her latest procedures are a surprise -- not because she admits to having them -- but because she famously swore off cosmetic surgery 10 years ago.
News of these procedures comes from a posting on Fonda's own blog, where the controversial celebrity writes about the V-Day -- an organization that fights to end violence against women and girls -- luncheon at the famed Chateau Marmont in Hollywood, Calif.
Fonda arrived sporting a new, softly layered shaggy 'do, as well as a high neck scarf and sunglasses, in hopes that it might distract attention away from the work she had on her chin, her neck and on the bags under her eyes.
However, when Hollywood producer Robert Evans complimented the haircut, Fonda fessed up. Evans thought it was so funny that, "He actually toasted me for doing what he'd never heard anyone do before: admit they'd had work done," the actress wrote.
Clearly, Evans doesn't move in the same circles as surgery proud Heidi Montag.
Fonda confesses that despite her decade-long resolution to just say no to the knife, "this year I got tired of not looking like how I feel and I wanted a more refined chin like I used to have and I changed my mind."
Um, maybe she also wanted to look her "best" for the new fitness videos she'll begin shooting next month.
The star says she had every intention of speaking about the procedures... eventually. "I'm writing a book about aging so I very well couldn't NOT talk about it," she explained.
"I wish I'd been brave enough not to do anything, but instead, I chose to be a somewhat more glamorous grandma."
While those who are not so "fonda" Jane will have a field day with her revelations, the wrinkle in this tale is her honesty. She deserves credit for not letting the masses buy into the Hollywood mythology that all those aerobic workouts and face creams kept her looking young.
We're also relieved she opted not to erase every wrinkle from her face, leaving her character-providing crows feet intact, though we do wonder what Fonda's buddy, actress Sally Field, has to say about the news: The two had made a public "no more plastic surgery pact."
Meanwhile, check out another AARP-worthy star and her sexy new photo shoot for H&M.

I cringe every time I see this person's name in the news. Jane Fonda was, and is still, the TRAITOR BITCH, as she earned the name by befriending the North Vietnamese in the 1960's. The only place I want to see her name and/or picture is in the urinal at my favorite veterans' club. I wish the news reporting agencies would learn about her background and stop giving her space in their respective newspapers, magazines, articles, etc. Everytime I see her name and/or picture displayed, I will immediately cease to consider that news outlet as credible.
