She makes an interesting confession, though: That based on today’s standards—namely, that models must be a ghastly size zero to make it in the biz—Banks would have been considered “too heavy” when she was a size-four 17-year-old and wouldn’t have made it as a model in 2012. Crazy, right? [Daily Beast]

Fairly complicated coverup for a nose job? You be the judge—check out pictures at Us Weekly. [Us Weekly]
