CBS television personality Julie Chen has generated quite the buzz since confessing that she’s had plastic surgery on The Talk on Wednesday. As a young news reporter in Dayton, Ohio, Chen was informed by her boss that her “Asian eyes” made her look “disinterested” and “bored”. She then met with a high-powered agent, who handed her a list of plastic surgeons specializing in blepharoplasty (pdf) – the procedure for creating double-creased eyelids, which at least 50% of Asians are not born with naturally —and told Chen if she got the surgery, she’d go “straight to the top.” And so she did.
