JANE FONDA HAS A NEW KNEE

Hollywood legend Jane Fonda has undergone surgery to replace her left knee – because she decided it was worth it.
The 71-year-old L'Oreal cosmetics company spokeswoman, who pitches anti-ageing products on TV with the catch phrase “because you're worth it,” underwent the operation on Tuesday.
Fonda, a two-time Oscar winner, blogged about the operation before going under the surgeon's knife.
The actress, who is also an exercise guru known for her keep fit videos, wrote that her knee joint was to "be sawed out and in its place will go a titanium rod and ceramic joint" in a posting titled "So Long Old Knee" on her Web site.
According to Fonda, whose films include Barbarella, They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, Klute, Coming Home and On Golden Pond, her body part had been "a strong, faithful knee."
She said it helped her "up a lot of steep mountains and across rugged terrain."
And the three-times wed star recalled the more romantic side of her appendage, revealing that her first former husband, the late French film director Roger Vadim, liked to kiss her knees.
The avid blogger took to Twitter as well, writing just before the operation: "Lying on a guerney (sic). Drugs starting to hit. Wheeee. So long left knee. You're toast!"
She also posted a photo on Twitter of her left knee, marked with the doctor's initials J.R.M and an arrow to make sure the correct knee got removed.
Fortunately, the actress, who most recently starred in the Broadway play 33 Variations, was not too heartbroken over seeing her knee go.
"It's never been my favourite part of me," she wrote on her official Web site's blog. "No more short skirts – but I never wore them much anyway."
Although she was told her new knee would only possess 80 percent mobility, Fonda remains determined and optimistic.
She wrote: "By this time next year, I will have come out with a whole new line of workout products for maintaining muscle mass and flexibility and I will be doing them myself. 80 percent my ass!"
But for the time being Fonda is having to rely on being chauffeured around in a wheelchair.
