REESE IS WEIGHING BIG GAMBLE

REESE WITHERSPOON is said to be considering R jumping into cosmetic surgery fixes with the encouragement of pal Jennifer Aniston - but that's a dangerous game because, as readers know, sometimes it works and sometimes it's a disaster.

Natural beauties like Priscilla Presley, Meg Ryan, Daryl Hannah, Joan Van Ark and matinee idol Mickey Rourke have ended up looking freakish with nip/tucks and Botox gone bad.

The late, great comic Joan Rivers was a plastic surgery promoter, bragging about her fixes. She ended up looking like a frozen-faced department store mannequin before her tragic death at age 81 due to a medical blunder.
