A Little Bit of Stress, a Little Bit of Surgery

Shortly after allegations of an affair with Alex Rodriguez surfaced, Madonna appeared in public with a gaunt face and thinner-than-usual physique. The source said Madonna underwent a slight nip and tuck last spring, and also managed to lose a few pounds off her already-tiny frame.

The procedure? “A mid-face lift,” says the source. “It’s meant to make the cheekbones more prominent.”

The source confirms that Madonna has lost a bit of weight, thanks in part to the stress induced by constant media coverage of the singer’s supposed relationship with New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez.
