One of my dirtiest secrets is that I watch Keeping Up With the Kardashians if nothing else is on. I don’t even like the family, but sometimes, on a lazy Sunday, I’ll get transfixed and watch three episodes during some hellish E! marathon. Thus, I have a strange affection for Bruce Jenner. He’s surrounded by bossy, crazy women, and he’s just doing the best he can. He seems like a pretty good dad and step-father to the Kardashian girls. All of the women in his life seem to adore him, even if they are constantly harassing him and generally making him intensely uncomfortable in his own home.
One of worst-kept secrets of the show and of Bruce Jenner’s life is that his face is wrecked. I’d heard that he had some bad work done, but I never knew the bad facelift was such an established fact that his step-daughter Kim would announce a second, reparative facelift to the world. But it’s happened! Kim Kardashian is blogging about Bruce’s new face:
After hinting that someone in her family will have plastic surgery, Kim Kardashian is now revealing that her step-dad, Bruce Jenner (dad to Hills star Brody Jenner), is the one who went under the knife.
“Ever since I revealed in recent interviews that one of my family members would be going under the plastic surgeon’s knife on the show, I’ve been inundated with emails and calls asking who it is!!” she blogs. “I can reveal that it was my stepdad Bruce!”
“Twenty five years ago, Bruce was ill-advised by a doctor to have a partial facelift and a nose job,” Kim writes. “Unfortunately, the result wasn’t what Bruce had hoped for and for years since then he has been the victim of cruel taunts from the media.”
“Since he’s turning 60 in October, Bruce felt it was time to correct the mistakes made by the previous doctor so he went to a new doctor for a second facelift,” she continues. “The results are amazing! Bruce looks better than ever and he is extremely happy with the result. Make sure you watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians next Sunday to see what Bruce went through for his new look!”

A facelift from twenty-five years ago? That must have been something, to go in for cosmetic surgery in the olden days. Did they even have scalpels back then? It’s funny because even though facelift technology and cosmetic surgery has probably developed by leaps and bounds over the years, people still look the same post-facelift today: surprised, squinty and bland. Bruce always looks “shocked” at whatever is happening in his house – so is he really surprised, or is it just the bad lift? We’ll see when his new face premieres. Here’s hoping the man can smile without wincing!

What a bunch of fame whores. The only reason he’s been exposed to ‘cruel media taunts’ is because he’s on that show. Would anyone care about him otherwise? How desperate for ratings are they that they’re going to exploit his face lift? What’s left for next season? All the girls and mom bond over mutual vagina tucking?
And Gary Cooper, Merle Oberon and Lana Turner all had facelifts back in the 50s and 60s. I’ve always tried to see if I could tell in Cooper’s later movies that he had his face lifted but I can’t really.
ok I’m showing my age but Bruce was a hunk (I know that’s hard to believe) back in the day…. and not even close to what he looked like when he was in the Olympics. I dont understand why people feel the need to have plastic surgery and turn their bodies into something totally different than what they were given but if you’re going to have surgery you should do the necessary research on the doctor!!!
Anyone remember when Bruce was on Silver Spoons, preaching about dyslexia?
Mel I was just going to say the same thing.
His first face lift was as subtle as Kenny Rogers. (no Bruce we had no idea you had “bad work done” *eye roll*)
He was fine before why did he ever get a face lift in the first place? I do watch that show too. they seem to have a lot of money noone is ever shopping at their store , Mama Kardashian is a big ole whore herself. shes loving the attention more than she ought to. I like the big one, Khole she is funny and smart. kim is just famous for her butt and Kourtney is just too dumb for words. the ittle girls Bruces daughters, yipes that show where one of them is hanging on the stripper pole in her parents bedroom,
The era of no-accountability lives on! Love how they blame his doctors, crying that he was “ill-advised”. Perhaps he was, but ultimately it was his choice. Taking responsibility will make him slightly less of a tool.
“He was fine before why did he ever get a face lift in the first place?”
I suppose he saw the first signs of aging and freaked out, feeling he was going to quickly lose his good looks. He definitely was worse off for that decision!
did he get a nose job, too? it looks whittled away.
He’s got a tranny looking face. When will people learn not to mess with what God gave you?
I met him in 1981, he was absolutely gorgeous then.
He is starting to morph into Michael Jackson. He should stop with the procedures. Yikes.
After 25 years he just noticed he had a bad face lift? Sounds like a lame excuse to get more work done . I didn’t know men could be this obsessed with their looks too. How vain.
Why does all of Bruce’s facelifts make him look more like a woman?. It’s the oddest thing. He doesn’t resemble the man from the Olympics at all. Hope he’s not using the same plastic surgeon each time. If so, Brucey got some money coming back to him.
