All right, so the first article that we're gonna talk about is about Anne Hathaway, uh, the actress.

So the title is "Anne Hathaway Finally Sets the Record Straight on Loud Facelift Speculation." Uh, it's an article by Eric Tadisco and Riley Cardoza from Page Six.

During a new interview with Elle, published Thursday, Anne Hathaway confirmed she hasn't undergone plastic surgery, despite preferring to, quote, "Never comment on anything," unquote, about her physical appearance.

Hathaway continued, "My preference would be to just live in the mystery and not draw attention to myself, but the speculation has gotten so loud that you do feel the need to just get your truth out there." In the viral video, Hathaway requested hairstylist Orlando Pita show them the secret after a drum roll please.

Pita told his client's followers he makes one braid on each side and then brings it together in the back.

Hathaway pointed out on Thursday that getting a facelift is a huge medical decision that people are presuming about her.

"I wanted to show that, like, no, I didn't make a huge medical decision," she explained to the outlet.

And by the way, the other thing about all this is I might still get a facelift someday," the Oscar winner quipped.

There are before and after photos showing that she's had this big glow-up, and she claims that basically what they do is that they take her long hair, braid it, and then tie it in the back.

And what that does is, by braiding and tying the hair back, it basically pulls the, the, um, midface back, uh, as if it's, like, a mid facelift.
Well, as a dermatologist who sees people with hair loss from too tight of hairstyles on a regular basis, I was a little worried about this one, and a couple things.
If I do a couple little braids," I mean, maybe I wasn't doing it the correct way, and I pull back.
