'Castle' star Tamala Jones is featured on the cover of Heart & Soul magazine.
In addition to talking about past relationships with rappers Nate Dogg and Big Gipp of Goodie Mobb, Jones also discusses how she nearly died from a brain aneurysm, how her home went up in flames and the reasons she regrets getting breast implants.
"I was coming out of a relationship, and I felt that I needed something new," the actress told writer Pamela K. Johnson about her initial decision to have her breasts augmented.
The 34-year-old actress, who has starred in films like 'Daddy Day Camp,' 'The Wood' and 'Booty Call,' wants to have her implants removed.
"That was a period where I didn't quite fully love who I was. Now I appreciate the old Tamala a lot more, and [at some point] I'm going to have the breast implants removed," she revealed.
Back in early 2006, Jo
nes spoke to this columnist for a cover story for the men's magazine Smooth about being happy with her breast enhancement.
"Oh my God, I was going to lie at first and not say anything and act like, s--t, I've grown. But I was like, you know what, I was just on the red carpet with my girlfriend Jaime Pressly, and I was not plump like this. I might as well tell the truth. I'm very happy with them, and they don't look fake to me and don't feel fake to me. I kind of did my homework, and I looked for a specialist. I didn't go to just any ol' body to get them done. I went to someone who works on breast cancer patients, and he basically creates a breast, and it looks and feels real. I can't wait to get a movie part where I can show them to you guys. In the right part in the right movie, I am willing to show those babies so you guys can see," the actress said then.

Karrine Steffans
This 30-year-old New York Times best-selling author made a name for herself in the music industry as a music video model. After intimate relations with some of the biggest names in hip-hop, including Jay-Z, Ja Rule and Method Man, Steffans became known as "Superhead." The former adult-film star is currently working on her third book 'The Vixen Manuel: How To Find, Seduce & Keep The Man You Want.' You wouldn't believe which high-ranking officer of the court we think Steffans resembles.
Judge Glenda Hatchett
Judge Glenda Hatchett has starred on her own court television show for the past eight years. The Emory University School of Law grad also released a book 'Say What You Mean and Mean What You Say.' Before heading to television, Hatchett was a senior attorney at Delta Air Lines and the highest-ranking African American woman at the company. She also has the distinction of being Georgia's first African American chief presiding judge of a state court.
Karrine Steffans / Judge Glenda Hatchett
True, Judge Hatchett is a bit mature to pass for Steffan's sister, but they surely could be mistaken for mother and daughter. With their fair complexions, dark-brown hair, wide smiles and noses, they definitely resemble each other.
Ciara
These days, 23-year-old Ciara Princess Harris simply goes by Ciara. Raised in Atlanta, this R&B chart-topper, who once dated pint-size rapper Bow Wow, burst on the music scene in 2004 with 'Goodies.' Both her debut single and its follow-up 'Ciara: The Evolution' were platinum hits. She's currently wrapping up her new album 'Fantasy Ride' and will star in the upcoming film 'Mama, I Want to Sing.' But many have said she looks like a popular comedienne. Guess who?
Wanda Sykes
Comedienne and actress Wanda Sykes got her start as a writer for 'The Chris Rock Show.' And, though her two short-lived shows 'Wanda at Large' and 'Wanda Does It' haven't made her a television star, her more recent stint on the CBS sitcom 'The New Adventures of Old Christine' has been steady. In 2008, the stand-up comic "came out" as at a pro-gay marriage rally in Las Vegas.
Ciara / Wanda Sykes
They're not identical by any means, but Ciara and Wanda Sykes definitely favor one another. We aren't holding our breaths to see Wanda sport a dolled-up look like Ci-Ci, but with their similar noses and big brown eyes, the two ladies remind us of each other.
Iman Crosson
This 26-year-old Ohio native received a great deal of attention with his parody of President Barack Obama doing Beyonce's 'Single Ladies.' The YouTube clip 'If You Voted for Me' has scored nearly 2 million hits and landed Crosson an appearance on Entertainment Tonight. There's a certain banker who looks like the Dancing Obama. Can you take a guess?
Al Reynolds
Virginia native Al Reynolds is mostly known as the ex-husband of former plus-size talk show personality Star Jones. Their nuptials are rumored to have cost upward of $1 million dollars and became a public relations nightmare for 'The View.' Sadly, their union didn't last long. Jones filed for divorce in 2008. The former investment banker is currently finishing up his doctorate in organizational leadership and teaching at Florida Memorial University.
Iman Crosson / Al Reynolds
Talk about splitting image. It's easy to see how Iman Crosson might be mistaken for Al Reynolds over our President Barack Obama. The two light-skinned, handsome brothers both know how to hang a suit. And with such distinguished looks, if they can't pass for each other, they can pass for brothers.
Kathie Lee Gifford
Kathie Lee Gifford is best known for co-hosting the talk show 'Live with Regis and Kathie Lee,' alongside Regis Philbin for 15 years. In 2008, she returned to the small screen to host the fourth hour of NBC's 'Today' show.

Tamala Jones is absolutely georgeous. There is no augmenting to that kind of beauty. You can't enhance perfection.

It's such a shame that such a beauty would think so little of herself. Why can I not have the pleasure?

Tamala, if you have grown the way you say you have,why do you want to show the "world" your breast. We don't want to see your breast. Leave something to the imagination!

That was her previous comment, when she first got them enhanced. That statement was in a previous article.

She meant grown as in physically. She wanted to lie and say she just gained weight or say that her body went through natural changes but decided not to lie because she knew she it would look ridiculous if she did.

Speak for yourself!! I'd LOVE to see her tits and she doesn't need a movie role to do it, just whip them out and sow us. It's a free country, after all!!

If she wants to remove them, then just do it. Announcing that she "wants to remove them" is another phony publicity stunt to get a headline which worked.

I also wish i had never had breast implants, but i also do not want to go under the knife again to remove them, but if they rupture i will not have them replaced.

If your implants are saline, no problem if they rupture. However, if they have the least bit of silicone, such as combination type...watch out!!! I am now the proudless owner of nothing on my chest--no implants, no breasts, no nipples, no nothing. Just two sideways twelve inch long scars where everything used to be. I was told my implants were saline---not so. They were totally silicone, and when they ruptured, even the outside shell dissolved so much I could not even qualify for a class-action suit because there was nothing to identify and my doctor and the hospital no longer have records of the surgery in the 1990's. So BEWARE, ladies.

After having three children, my breasts aren't how they used to be and I was considering after another baby with my husband, getting a lift and implants for substance. Why do you want to get yours removed? Do you have any children? I am very curious.
