BRUISE THE SUPERSTAR WITH TWO SHINERS?
NEWS OF THE WORLD

Haggard and badly bruised, one-time sex goddess Jane Fonda tries to hide the scars of her latest bout of painful plastic surgery.

It's hard to believe this is the movie queen who whipped thousands of men into a frenzy as flesh-flashing sci-fi babe Barbarella—or the work-out guru who made millions preaching "exercise not surgery" to women longing for eternal youth.

But even a double Oscar-winner can't halt the aging process and the actress soon ate those words.

Now, after her latest op around her eyes, fantasy figure Fonda looks a very plain Jane.

Her large dark glasses could not disguise the two huge purple bruises and tell-tale strips of gauze under her brows when she was recently seen in Beverly Hills.

Onlookers had a job recognising her. One said: "Her hair is quite grey, she's lost a lot of weight off her face and those bruises were real showstoppers."

Jane, 64, once insisted: "We've got to make friends with those wrinkles and sags." But she's not so Fonda crow's feet. Experts say she went under the knife to get rid of them. Cosmetic surgeon Edward Latimer-Sayer told us: "Judging by her plasters and bruising, Jane has had an upper eyelid lift.

"An incision is made below the brow bone and a small piece of skin is removed to make the eyes more open and wider. It takes about 15 minutes and costs about £2,000."

The Christmas issue timimg is crucial in the magazine business. Advertisers want to make sure their ads will reach potential clients before they spend their big $ on holidays gifts. Make your December issue too late, and you'll miss a lot of ads. Make it too early and you'll miss a lot of ads too, since not all products are ready on time.

Elle UK was the first out this year, November 7 (!). This is Vogue Australia, with a stunning portrait of Delphine Bafort. Next in line are the US mags, French and Italians will be out last, around November 25. In December, not even one major magazine will appear, and this is why they call it the dry season. January mags are usually very thin, since advertisers believe people don't have any money left to spend.
