Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

She wanted weight loss — but instead, she lost money and self-esteem.

UK mother Julia Lanni, 58, says she bellied up about $155 last summer for 16 fat-dissolving Aqualyx injections in her stomach in the hopes they would boost her body confidence.

What she got was a 2.75-inch hole in her stomach that required emergency surgery.



“This treatment was certainly life-changing, but not in the way I wanted,” Lanni, of Hertfordshire, England, admitted to SWNS. “My confidence is even lower than it was before. My weight was the same after the treatment and I’ve been left with a scar.”
