“I should never go to the plastic surgeon’s office,” Tamra Barney said on camera last year. “I’m like a kid in a candy shop.” Since then, however, the Real Housewives of Orange County star has indulged her nip-tuck habit even more. Tamra invited Life & Style along on a recent visit to her cosmetic surgeon’s office — and opened up about why she considers Botox the ultimate secret to her success.

L&S: HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN GETTING BOTOX?

Tamra: I first started when my son was 2, so it’s been about six years. But you can’t do it when you’re pregnant or nursing, so I’ve taken some time off from it here and there. Consistently, I’ve been doing it for about three years.

L&S: WHAT MADE YOU FIRST WANT TO TRY IT?

Tamra: I’ve always had expression lines on my forehead, even when I was a kid. They always bugged me. I used to wear bangs because I was so self-conscious about them. Then, when people started telling me about Botox, I was like, “Oh my gosh, I want to do that.”

L&S: WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE?

Tamra: Each time the needle goes in, there’s a little sting. But it’s quick. They put numbing cream on you, so it doesn’t really hurt that much. But you do hear this small crunch sound. It’s actually the needle going into the muscle. But it’s not as disturbing as it sounds.

L&S: WOULD YOU SAY YOU’RE ADDICTED TO BOTOX?

Tamra: Oh yeah, I’m a Botox junkie. I’m known for that on the show. But I don’t care. At least I’m honest about it.

L&S: IN GENERAL, HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR ATTITUDE ABOUT COSMETIC PROCEDURES?

Tamra: I always say this: You take care of your body like you take care of your car. If I were a car, I’d be considered vintage or antique. If my fenders get a little banged up, I gotta fix ’em. I gotta keep it up. I’m not going to let a nice car go to waste. That said, it’s not going to completely change the way you look. It just takes what God gave you and makes it a little better.

Ellen DeGeneres wants to find a date for newly single Anne Hathaway!

“I’m really good at setting people up,” DeGeneres tells the Bride Wars star in an episode of her talk show that airs Thursday. “If you need some one, I will find you a boyfriend.”

Hathaway isn’t picky.

“At this point I would just like him to be law abiding,” she jokes. Her last beau, Raffaello Folliero – whom she split from in June — is currently serving four years in prison for conspiracy, wire fraud and money laundering.

“Dating [means] leaving yourself exposed,” adds Hathaway.

“You don’t even have to date, you can go straight to commitment,” offers DeGeneres, to which Hathaway replies: “Oh, OK perfect.”

Hathaway says her breakup taught her “to have a sense of humor about everything.

“I’m sobbing, and I look up and I start laughing and said, ‘This is going to make a great opening monologue on SNL.’ So then, two weeks later I got the call that I was going to be on the show. I was like, ‘You know what, I’m going to get through it. I’m going to laugh first and nobody is going to be able to laugh at me, and eventually it will just be something that happened to me’ and now it is. I’m so thrilled.”

She also calls 2008 a “really transformative experience in a lot of good ways.”

Says DeGeneres: “That’s what you should get from any experience — something you learn from it, grow and appreciate it and never regret it.”

“And, never do it again!” adds Hathaway.
