‘Hollywood Medium’ Tyler Henry reflects on predicting destruction of Ricki Lakes home in LA fires
"Hollywood Medium" Tyler Henry shares how its been "devastating for everybody involved" after he accurately predicted the destruction of Ricki Lakes home in the LA fires.
Ricki Lake is getting candid about going under the knife — admitting her decision to undergo a facelift wasn’t too carefully planned.
"I didn't do any research when I decided very impulsively to have my face done," Lake said on the "Inside Edit" podcast.
"I met with him on the next available [appointment]. I had my consult, I booked the next available appointment. So that was in mid-June. I booked for July 18. Never looked back."
The former talk show host said the sudden move came after a dramatic weight loss that left her dealing with excess skin.

"I had just lost 40 pounds and I had this hanging," she said, pointing to the area under her chin. "And it wasn't just like that I didn't like what I saw or wanted to look younger. I have gray hair. It's not about that. It's like, I had an appendage hanging that wasn't going to grow back, like come back up."
The "Hairspray" star framed the choice as practical, but what sealed the deal was seeing a friend’s dramatic transformation up close.

"I saw her eight days after her surgery and not only did she look amazing, she was euphoric. She was like a different person — she was just on top of the world, and I was like, ‘I'll have what she's having.’"
Despite the lack of research, Lake said the results — and recovery — exceeded expectations.
"I healed so quickly. I hosted an event at the Academy Museum two weeks after my surgery. I looked flawless. Flawless."
