After five lonely years in dermatological exile, the mole that once dotted Enrique Iglesias' face may finally have some company. Word is, Sarah Jessica Parker has removed the prominent beauty mark that has long decorated her chin. "Yes, she had the mole removed," an insider tells CelebTV.com. "It was not for medical reasons." Echoes a source to Us, "There was no reason for it. It wasn't because she didn't like her mole, and it wasn't because of any medical reason. It was simply because she was in the mood to have it removed. That's all." The "Sex and the City" powerhouse, 43, showed off her newly spot-free visage at the All-Star Game on Tuesday night at New York's Yankee Stadium, where she took to the field with Sheryl Crow and Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig as part of a cancer research fundraising campaign. No word on what finally prompted Parker to lop off her characteristic dot, although her refreshingly non-cookie-cutter good looks have been unfairly and unkindly scrutinized over the last year or so. In March, she admitted to being hurt by a "brutal" Maxim poll that ranked her the unsexiest woman in the world. "I am who I am," she responded. "Do I have big fake boobs, Botox and big lips? No. Do I fit some ideals and standards of some men writing in a men's magazine? Maybe not." The attacks grew more vicious when the "Sex" flick was released in May, as evidenced by the opening lines of Rex Reed's review in the New York Observer. "There's nothing wrong with Sarah Jessica Parker that couldn't be cured by wart-removal surgery," he sniped. "That growth on her face just gets bigger with every close-up, and in the full-length movie version of 'Sex and the City' it's so distracting you can't concentrate on anything else." (Class act that she is, the actress resisted the understandable urge to kick the critic in his own protuberances.) At least Parker can take comfort in knowing that before she sliced and diced her mole, Maxim decided to make nice by calling her out in the August issue as its "Unexpected Crush," declaring her "undeniably hot" and professing its "undying affection." "The truth is, we have a massive, heart-pounding crush on Sarah Jessica Parker," the seemingly repentant mag says in an open letter to readers. "We want to sip cosmos with her. We want to take her out for sushi at trendy New York restaurants. We would probably even build her a tiny house for her beloved shoes to live in. Yes, we are straight-up SJP superfans!" |
