Geraldo Rivera fleshed out his talk show with a cheek-to-cheek fat transfer to fill in his frown lines.
A cosmetic surgeon removed a needle full of fat from Rivera's behind and put it in his face as 250 people watched during taping of "Geraldo" on Feb. 4, in New York.Joan Rivers interrupted her own talk show next door to attend, but she looked away as he bared his derriere behind a "Geraldo" banner.
Rivera said his wife, C.C. Dyer, came up with the idea to have the procedure done before the cameras. The show will be broadcast Monday.
Was there a bit of vanity involved?
"When men and women get to be my age, every time you look in the mirror you see a new wrinkle, a new crevice," the 48-year-old Rivera said. "You wonder, `What would I look like if I could just iron it out?"'
