They say the key to good cosmetic surgery is having little bits done here and there. That way, you don’t overdo it, and have more control over what’s happening with your face. And most importantly, it’s less obvious. That way you don’t walk into your job of five years and have your boss introduce himself and ask how he can help you. Which is exactly what must be happening to Rupert Everett – though perhaps he wants even more anonymity than he’s already got (snap!). Rupert just had some extensive work done, and showed up to the “The Rachael Ray Show” looking 10 years younger. If 10 years ago his forehead looked like a classroom whiteboard.

Rupert Everett’s dashing good looks were getting a little droopy. But now he’s more than ready for his close-up!

The actor, currently starring in Blithe Spirit on Broadway, debuted a fresh-faced new look on The Martha Stewart Show on April 10. And he doesn’t just have makeup artists to thank.

According to Dr. Brian S. Glatt, founder of the Premier Plastic Surgery Center of New Jersey, Rupert, 49, has had a comprehensive series of facial procedures. “I think Rupert had a face-lift,” Dr. Glatt tells Star. “His cheeks are fuller and lifted, and his jawline and neck are pulled back and smoother.”

As for his forehead, Dr. Glatt says it’s simply Botox. “I think he’s definitely using it. He is very animated, and there are no lines visible on his forehead.”

The last element in Rupert’s new look, says Dr. Glatt, is a chin implant! “The shape and projection of the chin is drastically different. It’s much more pointed,” he says.

In all, the surgeries could have set Rupert back almost $25,000!

But it was worth it. Dr. Glatt, who has not treated the actor, observes, “This is an impressive difference. He looks 10 years younger!”

I would really argue against the positive spin Star takes on Rupert’s face. He might look younger, but he doesn’t look human. Is that really a good trade? The funny thing about this is that less than a week ago Everett mocked fellow gay men, calling them tiresome and saying their desire to have children is egocentric and vain. I don’t recall the last time I’ve seen such sudden and dramatic cosmetic surgery on a man – where does he get off accusing others of vanity? Kaiser is a firm believer that he’s a he’s a bitterly repressed self-loathing gay man, and I’m going to have to agree. He’s constantly bitching and moaning and lecturing and complaining.

In December of 2007 he went off on some of Hollywood’s biggest actors, saying, “‘De Niro, Redford, Keaton, Allen, Pacino … They’re all just tragic parodies of themselves. Al Pacino looks like a mad old freak now.’” I think Rupert described his new face perfectly. It’s a tragic parody of himself.
