What Star Lost Her Belly Button? She Has Admitted To A Tummy Tuck

She's 50 years old as of last week, spent years on a hit sitcom, and has four sons. She openly had a breast lift and tummy tuck, and wrote about the experience:

Her breasts, she says, were "horrifying." And her stomach was a mess. "I had a big ridge of scar tissue. My belly button was herniated. Then there was that skin that hung there. It didn't work to suck it in. It wouldn't have mattered if I had done 1,000 sit-ups. "

The tummy tuck was like having another C-section, she says. "I would recommend it to anyone."

She's Patricia Heaton, and she's in Hawaii on a family vacation. More pictures here

Tummy tuck, or pod person????

This woman is 50, she's had 4 kids. What in the hell makes her think she should look 20? I say, if you're 50 and you've had 4 kids, put on a 1 piece suit and shut the fuck up.

Oh. Well then. That settles it.

Of course I wasn't referring to her body so much as to her politics. Which I think sucks.

Being that I'm older than she is, to me her body looks great! I just wish her politics looked as well.

With, or without a belly button....­.

Even Republicans have plastic surgery.

Please remove this picture. I check HuffPost regularly for important headlines and this was simply disgusting. Couldn't you offer a Perez Hilton solution if you are going to cover trash news--an option for those of us who are not easily offended to click a button and see the horror?

I'm just relieved that it wasn't a 'exiting the car, check out my snapper' shot.
