It's no news flash to say that rhinoplasty is popular in Hollywood. In an industry where image is everything, celebrity nose jobs have been a common practice since the golden age of the silver screen. However, it's hard to imagine that the procedure was ever as universally utilized as it is today. Thanks to technological advances and the skill of modern plastic surgeons, it's actually harder to find a famous actress who hasn't had nose surgery, rather than one who has.

Name just about any of today's hot TV, music, and cinema stars, and chances are, they've been linked to rhinoplasty. For some, it was a successful aesthetic decision that helped improve their luck in Hollywood. For others, the jury is still out. Here's a look at ten of the most talked about (and alleged) celebrity nose jobs from recent memory.

• 10. Jennifer Grey: The star of Dirty Dancing found great success in the '80s, despite a non-traditional Hollywood look. In the '90s, she underwent a successful rhinoplasty procedure, and may have even looked better. But in Grey's case, altering her trademark, “every girl” look may have been a misstep.
• 9. Nicole Kidman: No one gave this Aussie fashion icon much flack for her nose job.
• 8. Katie Holmes: Maybe Tom Cruise has this effect on women, but former Dawsons Creek cutie Katie (or is it now Kate?) Holmes got a lot of press for some nasal tweaks in 2007.
• 7. Winona Ryder: Another actress who, like Grey, may have made herself more traditionally attractive with her new nose, but also may have sacrificed some of that quirky charm of her Beetlejuice and Heathers days.
• 6. Scarlett Johannson: Had a little sculpting done a few years back, and it certainly appears to have paid off, as the former child star is now considered one of the hottest actresses in Hollywood.
• 5. Tom Cruise: Yup, even the man himself has often been discussed as a possible rhinoplasty patient, with plenty of before and after pictures circling the internet.
• 4. Salma Hayek: She was already widely considered one of the world's most beautiful women, but Salma joined the club, too.
• 3. Ashley Tisdale: The High School Musical star got a lot of press recently when she underwent a nose job, which she claimed was merely to treat a deviated septum.
• 2. Ashlee Simpson: Similar excuses came from singer/actress Ashlee Simpson's camp once it was clear she could no longer deny having had her distinctive nose surgically altered in 2006.
• 1. Jennifer Aniston: Already one of rhinoplasty's heroines from the surgery that helped establish her '90s success, Aniston was rumored to have undergone another nose job in 2007.
