Kathy Griffin says an obsession with wanting "to be Jennifer Aniston" led her to undergo numerous plastic surgery operations.
And the results weren't always pretty.
In her new memoir Official Book Club Selection: A Memoir According to Kathy Griffin, "I have a picture in the book that is so heinous, you can't even believe it," she told CNN's Campbell Brown in an interview Tuesday. "And it's a picture of my botched liposuction that looks like a CSI Crime Scene photo."
Griffin, 48, said she decided to show the shot "because I wanted women to know when you get liposuction, trying to be Jennifer Aniston, this is what it really looks like."
The Emmy-winning Bravo reality star - who got her first nose job at 26 - said she spent years wishing she could change her appearance.
"I was on a television show and thought that I could be thinner and better and happier," said Griffin, who starred on the 90s Brooke Shields sitcom Suddenly Susan. "You know what, when I was a bank teller, I never felt that way. So I was happy to say it's because of being on television."

She said "agents and casting directors" also advised her to get work done. Added Griffin, "And some of it is just me telling myself that I want to be better."
So how does she break that cycle?
Griffin, now 5 feet 3 inches tall and 115 lbs., said she doesn't know.
"Look, I am always going to want to be Jennifer Aniston, maybe more than Jennifer Aniston wants to be Jennifer Aniston," she said.

Tell Us What You Think
40one of my friends got it and she looks weird and thinks no one knows! you can tell! but to each his own, however, I am not that vain to hit the veins!
She is not funny, she is just mean and unkind. Lots of comedians are funny without being mean. Mean is ugly>
This woman is such a loser that I had never even heard about her until she made her infamous "suck it Jesus" comment. I guess people will do whatever to get attention. I think she's pretty brave to come out and say that she wanted to look like Jennifer, because that right there tells me that she voluntarily wanted to make a fool of herself.
Kathy is just ugly on the inside, so she will never be beautiful on the outside. Her mouth is disgusting and she is not funny. Her days are over as no one cares. She is mean spirited and her and Levi can go to the woods and get lost together.

That's Hilarious. Who did Aniston get lipo to look like?
kathy is ugly on the inside so doesn't matter if she woke up in jennifer's body, she'd still be ugly.
of course she wants to look like Jennifer, who doesn't? Jen is gorgeous!! :) no matter what haters say! ya'll are just jealous!
They could be sisters!!LOL!!!
what's the meaning of lol? im soooooo stupid ya all;;
LOL! Jennifer Aniston got lipo to look like Jennifer Aniston. Go figure!
Kathy you are funny as hell. That should be enough.
LOL! I WANT TO LOOK LIKE KATHY GRIFFIN, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!!!!
I am OK with my looks but if I had to pick a celebs body in Hollywood to have, it definitely would be Aniston's as it is perfection. Sadly, I have more of Jolie's awkward and bony frame even though I eat a ton.
what ever happened to just having a good heart and doing the best with what you were born with? it's really heartbreaking to think that we are so obsessed with celebrity beauty- we could all look like a moviestar if we had hairdressers, spanx, make up artists and stylists that "did" us before we went out- no one is perfect Thank God - even the beauties - they wake up and put one foot on the floor and then the other just like all of us -
I don't even know who she is but she is god-awful ugly!
GO, KATHY, GO!!!! KATHY IS THE BEST"EST"!! LONG LIVE KATHY GRIFFIN & MAGGIE!!!!!!!!!! :)
She doesn't believe in God, so of course she's not happy with herself. I can't stand her.
Sorry, Leah @ 11:56, but you're the one missing the point. Kathy had a Jennifer Aniston fixation because Aniston is very attractive and ostensibly approachable. You wipe out any validity you might have had by saying (at the end of your long winded post) that you "loathe" Aniston. Apparently, you're the one who isn't nice.
People are missing the point Kathy is making - Kathy considered herself unattractive, yet Kathy is also very smart, she saw Aniston (who ALSO is not pretty, just average) as ATTAINABLE. Primarily because she knows being in the business, Aniston not only is one of those average types like herself, but she also has had some of the same cosmetic procedures she has. There's a reason why Kathy Griffin is NOT saying, 'I wanted to BE, Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, or Angelina Jolie,' because she KNOWS she'd be COMMITTED. Aniston, for Griffith, is more than attainable - actually, IMO, Kathy is prettier. But believe me, somewhere Aniston is hearing this, and is not PLEASED that someone like Kathy Griffin even THOUGHT she could look like her. Hahahaha. If you want to see the REAL Aniston - take a look at a youtube video where a reporter tells her she reminds him of Streisand. Aniston does NOT like it - she gets mad, and can't even answer the question. Telling. The woman is not nice. Guess what Jen, Babs is a lot cuter than you too. Hahaha. Love you Kathy - but I loathe Aniston.
