Bobbi Kristina Brown has under-
gone a tracheotomy. The daugh-
ter of the late Whitney Houston
underwent the surgical procedure
this week, which will allow her to
breathe through her neck via a small
incision, to help prevent the chances
of an infection as she currently fights
for her life in a coma.
A source told PEOPLE.com : “The tra-
cheotomy is a different place for the tube to
go. Everything else remains the same. It’s a
waiting game.
The family is hoping and waiting. It’s a
normal procedure to have the tracheotomy
because, if you have a breathing tube down
there for a long time, it can cause an infec-
tion. She is still critical and we don’t know
what the outcome will be. No one is giving
up on this kid.”
The 21-year-old aspiring actress has been
on life support in hospital since she was
found face-down, unresponsive, in a bath-
tub at her home in Georgia on January 31.
Her father Bobby Brown and her other
relatives have remained at her bedside
since the tragedy and are hopeful that the
youngster will make a full recovery after
showing signs of improvement.
HOPEFUL
Her aunt, Leolah Brown, said recently:
“I’m very hopeful everything will be okay
with Krissi. There are so many signs showing
us she will be okay in spite of what people
are saying. Krissi is fine, as I sit here before
you today.”
Police have launched a criminal investiga-
tion to find out what happened to Bobbi in
the lead-up to the tragedy.

A shton Kutcher keeps a pros-
thetic penis in his trailer.
The 37-year-old actor car-
ries the artificial body part with
him to every set in case he’s
forced to drop his pants on camera,
and he admits the bizarre prop
came in handy when he was per-
forming his debut episode for
Two and A Half Men in 2003.
Speaking on Conan on
Wednesday, his co-star, Jon
Cryer, 49, said: “There was a
very clear moment. In the very
first episode that Ashton was in
there was a point at which he
was supposed to be completely
naked in front of me. We didn’t
know how to do that in front of
the live studio audience without
him actually being naked, ‘cause
the whole point was, it was
supposed to shock people.”
He added: “We said, ‘We’re
gonna have to cover him up
somehow, but it still has to be
shocking.’ Everybody was trying,
people were working this over in
the writers’ room, and then
Ashton pipes in, ‘Oh, I’ve got a
huge prosthetic penis in my trailer!’“
Ashton was clearly unfazed by
the revelation and said: “Doesn’t
everyone?” He then turned to the
comedian and added: “You, too,
can have one made. I had these
web shorts that I did for my
company and we were producing
these various web shorts, like
hidden camera things.”

Halle Berry pressured
to get plastic surgery

H alle Berry feels a lot of
pressure to have plastic
surgery.
The 48-year-old actress
admits she is often encouraged
to go under the knife to main-
tain her youthful appearance,
and claims cosmetic procedures
are like crack in Hollywood.
She said: “It is pressure.
When you see everybody
around you doing it, you have
those moments when you think,
‘To stay alive in this business,
do I need to do the same
thing?’
“I won’t lie and tell you that
those things don’t cross my
mind, because somebody is
always suggesting it to me. It’s
almost like crack that people
are trying to push on you.
That’s what I feel like.”
The Extant star is determined
to try to grow old gracefully.
She told Yahoo Beauty’s editor-
in-chief, Bobbi Brown: “I just
want to always look like myself,
even if that’s an older version
of myself. I think when you do
too much of that cosmetic stuff,
you become somebody else in
a way. I’ve just kept reminding
myself that beauty really is as
beauty does, and it is not so
much about my physical self.
Aging is natural, and that’s
going to happen to all of us.”
The Oscar winner also looks up
to older actress like Jane
Fonda, 77, who she thinks is
still very glamorous.
She said: “I don’t know what
she has or hasn’t done, but she
looks beautiful as she’s going
about her way.”
