The weirdest, although probably not for Hollywood, is the $1,900 Vampire Breast Lift, which takes blood from your arm and inserts it into your breast from improved cleavage.

Excuse me while I go heat up my microwave pizza on elegant paper plates, and then get cleaned up with my Suave for Men and Colgate toothpaste. Well, at least I have my Chapstick.
