Washington, Dec 30 (ANI): Cate Blanchett has come out against plastic surgery, insisting that her marriage of 11 years could be over if she goes under the knife.

The 'Electra' actress stated that if she ever went under the knife, it would take a great deal of convincing her husband Andrew Upton.

"I haven't done anything, but who knows. Andrew [Upton] said he'd divorce me if I did anything," US Weekly quoted Blanchett, as telling Vanity Fair.

"I'm not a spokesperson against the world of injectables, If you grow up in an environment where your mother gets you a boob job when you turn 18, what hope is there? But I didn't grow up in that world," Blanchett added.

Blanchett, who has 3 children, revealed that her body has changed after the birth of her kids, but it doesn't bother her, as she joined Hollywood to act and not to be obsessed with her looks.

"The reason I went to train as an actor was that I was interested in it for the long haul, you can become very self-obsessed, but you've got to keep looking outward," Blanchett said.

"When you've had children, your body changes; there's history to it. I like the evolution of that history; I'm fortunate to be with somebody who likes the evolution of that history," Blanchett added. (ANI)

Melbourne, Dec 30 (ANI): Under new Victorian laws, minors will be barred from getting their nipples and genitals pierced and kids under 16 will need parental consent for any other body piercing.

The laws will come in effect from January 1, which will see piercers fined with 6600 dollars if they give a person aged under 18 an intimate body piercing.

Those who give minors a tattoo or perform scarification, tongue splitting, branding or beading on someone aged under 18 will be slapped with the same penalty.

And piercers will have to pay 2200-dollar fine if they give kids under 16 a non-intimate body piercing without parental consent.

According to Attorney-General Rob Hulls, the new laws would help protect young people as the popularity of body art is on the rise.

"The possible health implications associated with body piercing can include the transmission of blood-borne viruses, infection, scarring and nerve damage," News.com.au quoted him, as saying.

"These new laws provide clear guidance for body piercers, and balance the rights of guardians and parents with the freedom of expression of young people," he added.

Piercers can escape fines only if they manage to prove the client duped them into believing they were of legal age by producing fraudulent ID, like a driver licence. (ANI)

London, Dec 30 (ANI): 'Olivia' for a girl and 'Jack' for a boy have emerged as Britain's most popular baby names of 2008 in a new survey by the Bounty parenting club.

According to researchers who analysed the trends in this year's baby names, there has been a return to silver screen glamour as names inspired by Hollywood, such as Sofia, Julia, Darcy and Amelie, have all shown a revival, reports Times Online.

Meanwhile, the name Amy fell in popularity, possibly due to the declining personal fortunes of the singer Amy Winehouse, who has battled drug and health problems.

However, Blake, the first name of Winehouse's husband Blake Fielder-Civil, has entered the top 100 boys' names for the first time.
