"Newspapers don't lie," Updike mischievously remarked before adding, "I remember the event as being rather intimate and sedate...a small low room with a scattering of librarians in flowered hats on folding chairs...

The surgery, which was paid for by an anonymous donor, is the latest in a series of "improvements" Jones has made to her lineaments, although, oddly, her haircut and the removal of her braces were not considered broadcast-worthy material. Appearing exclusively on PrimeTime Live and in the National Enquirer, Jones said she decided to trade in her "family nose" because she was sick of being made fun of by cartoonists.
