    *Recorded in advance of the Los Angeles Wildfires, we’re welcoming actress, singer, mother and entrepreneur Ashley Tisdale. The triple threat has been working in entertainment since she was just three years old, notably as “Sharpay Evans” in High School Musical and as “Maddie Fitzpatrick” in Disney Channel’s The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.

    Plus, you’ll hear about:

    • Plastic surgery – How Ashley really feels about her breast explant surgery now
    • Story time! Why the star’s daughter thinks that Zac Efron might be her dad?!  
    • Celebrity secrets! The beloved skincare musts on Ashley’s topshelf… and the *one* discontinued mascara that she wishes would come back
    • Entrepreneurship real talk. Why a previous failed business venture had her thinking twice before diving in a second time

    The Biggest Celeb Transformations of 2024: The $400,000 Facelift, Lie Detectors On Blast and How Ozempic is Changing Everything with Dana Omari-Harrell AKA @IGFamousByDana

    The tea is piping hot this week as we sit down with Dana Omari-Harrell AKA @IGFamousByDana. The Houston-based, plastic surgery consultant and registered dietician has likely landed in your private DM’s, thanks to her no holds barred celebrity before-and-after posts, where she breaks down every aesthetic treatment and cosmetic surgery procedure undergone (allegedly!) to get the glammanati to their Hollywood-image today. Tune in as we get caught up on all of the jaw-dropping transformations that shook up our feeds this year, in this can’t miss, pop culture-drenched episode.


    Content PSA - themes of weight loss, body image and cosmetic surgery are discussed throughout

     

    Tune in to hear about:

    • Which celebrity @IGFamousByDana is voting ‘Best Transformation of the Year’ – and why
    • The 40-something actor whose work is *SO* good, even Dana can’t pinpoint what she’s had done
    • Which celebrity slid into Dana’s DMs, asking for a qualified surgeon recommendation 👀
    • The spin-off effect of GLP-1 medications - how they’re affecting everything from cosmetic surgery to personal trainer protocols and even menus at NYC-based restaurants!
    • The aesthetic and plastic surgery trends that Dana expects to see all over our feeds in 2025 and beyond
