Page Six is reporting in a not-very-blind item that some mysterious “former” First Daughter got a little work done before her recent book tour. Now, Jenna’s not a “former” first daughter, but isn’t she the only one anyone would care about getting work done? Hell, isn’t she the only one we can think of with a book tour? Either way, she does look very, um, refreshed in the right hand picture while on her tour in 2007, as compared to greeting some important guy in 2006. [New York Post]

Perhaps in response to the compelling results of a recent Wonkette poll, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said this to the New York Times:

“I hear them say on TV that I’ve had face-lifts,” said Ms. Pelosi, 66, who added that she had never had one. “I heard one woman say I’ve had a face-lift, but it looks terrible.”

She shook her head and said, “Did you ever think that those two things cancel themselves out?”

Uh, not really. Why isn’t it possible that you had some awful plastic surgery? It does happen, you know.

Also, note her careful wording: no facelifts. But we asked about an eyelid lift.

It’s the Thursday before a long holiday weekend. So we’ll pretend it’s Friday, and entertain your more frivolous inquiries. One of you writes:

Just a question — I just saw this photograph of Nancy Pelosi:

And it seems that, besides the haircut, she looks considerably different than here:

Did she have her eyes lifted? Crazy.

We’re no experts, so we’ll turn it over to you. What do you think? After the jump, a reader poll.
