JOHNSON: Kylie Jenner among most common plastic surgery reference pics

A lot of eyes are on Kylie Jenner, who is currently splashed across the cover of Vanity Fair with her face, breasts and derriere on full display.

Plastic surgeons all over the country are confronted by patients who bring in her photos to show doctors what they hope to look like after surgery.

Even Oscar winner and mother Jennifer Lawrence told The New Yorker that she will likely take the breast augmentation plunge now saying, “Everything bounced back, pretty much, after the first one … Second one, nothing bounced back.”

Dr. Mustafa Ahmed, who is based in Las Vegas and specializes in breast implants for the strip’s top show girls, said, “I always emphasize that the goal is a result that looks natural both at rest and in motion, and that ages well over time.”

In Scottsdale, Arizona Dr. Rozbeh Torabi said, “The conversation used to center around size, but today it’s much more about proportion and how the result fits the patient’s overall anatomy. Patients are more aware that overly augmented results can look artificial over time.”

Whatever Kylie, 28, has been doing, Timothée Chalamet, her boyfriend of three years, clearly likes it, as do her 390 million Instagram followers.

Jay McInerney has a new novel “See You on the Other Side,” but he knows it won’t eclipse his biggest hit, “Bright Lights, Big City.”

At his book party at The Odeon, where scenes from his first book were set, the author was joined by 100 guests, including actress Emily Ratajkowski; painter Will Cotton; designer Cynthia Rowley, PR exec Robert Zimmerman; writers Molly Jong-Fast, Jill Eisenstadt and Linda Wells; Le Bernardin owner Eric Ripert, society publicist R. Couri Hay; and book editor Gary Fisketjon.

McInerney’s agent, Binky Urban — there with husband Ken Auletta — may have blushed when he told the crowd, “Somebody said to me, ‘How did Binky find you?’ I found her, I doggedly pursued her because she published most of the writers I really admired, none of whom made any money, and she finally agreed to read my first book.”

He added: “I remember we had lunch and she said to me, ‘Jay, the words “Bright Lights, Big City” are going to be in your obituary.’ She was one of the first people to say that this book was going to change my life.”

The bestseller was turned into a movie starring Michael J. Fox, Kiefer Sutherland and Phoebe Cates.

McInerney thanked his wife, Anne Hearst, uncorked some oversized bottles of vintage wine from his collection and revealed that he will be writing a monthly column about wine for Air Mail.

In 1904, one of the wealthiest men in the world walked into Tiffany’s in New York and bought a Patek Philippe gold pocket watch.

Eight years later John Jacob Astor took the pricey bauble on a trip — aboard the Titanic. It was recovered from his body and is now for sale at Freeman’s Auctions in Chicago.

Watch fans got a look at it this week at Freeman’s East 67th Street location.

“Engraved on the back is ‘JJA’ for John Jacob Astor. This is a watch befitting a man of wealth,” said watch guru and author John Reardon.

“It’s been owned by the Astor family for the entire 120-year-plus span. It’s one of the most important watches ever to come up for auction. It’s impossible not to get chills,” added Freeman’s Reg Brack. Chills and a big bill. It goes on the block in Chicago on April 22 at an estimated $300,000 to $500,000.

Not that flush? Astor also carried a pencil — in a 14-carat gold case of course — that’ll only set you back $10,000 to $20,000.

Where else but New York would someone throw a book party for a former federal fugitive?

That’s exactly what Marc Rosen — the perfume bottle designer who was married to the late Arlene Dahl — did at his Fifth Avenue apartment, celebrating the publication of “The Escape Artist” by Ian Jarvis (Armin Lear Press). Jarvis and Rosen first rubbed elbows in elementary school.

The invitation called it “a provocative story of reinvention and redemption.” That’s one way to put it.

Jarvis’ adventures started a Georgetown University where he worked on projects with Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and shared an apartment with a young Carl Bernstein. They sold fake UFO stories to the National Enquirer for beer money.

Jarvis then spent eight years evading the FBI in Paris, London and Ibiza, after an industrial sized hash-smuggling operation went wrong.

Exile in Europe led to a midnight jam session with Chet Baker, two years living with Parisian call girls and work for the King of Morocco.

At 30, Jarvis returned home, beat a seven-year sentence, got custody of his 8-year-old daughter and did what any ex-fugitive would do: He created a totally fake resume to get his first job with a French multinational.

That powered his return to the American Dream as a very successful cosmetics entrepreneur and a life of education and stability for his daughter.

After selling his last company, he developed a leadership consultancy to Fortune 500 executives, launched his own radio show, and became a working actor — you may have seen him as the maître d’ at La Côte Basque in “Feud: Capote vs. the Swans.”

Sam Heughan, the strapping Scottish star of “The Outlander,” was the Grand Marshall of Tartan Day last weekend.

Heughan made the rounds of talk shows to promote both the show’s final season and his Scotch whiskey brand, Sassenach Spirits.

The actor confessed he auditioned seven times for “Game of Thrones” but didn’t get cast.

He also shared that he learned to appreciate wearing a kilt. “It’s surprisingly comfortable to ride horses in it.”

Pablo Picasso wasn’t just friends with fellow artist Wifredo Lam. Picasso called him “my Cuban cousin.”

Galerie Gmurzynska is opening a show “Picasso/Lam” in its new 7,000 sq. ft. gallery in the Fuller Building.

It’s a homecoming. Picasso and Lam exhibited separately in the 1940s in the same East 57th Street building.

“There has never been a show of the two artists together,” said Isabelle Bscher, the third generation gallerist headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland.

The exhibition opens on April 23 with remarks from Wifredo’s son Eskil Lam.

“Being from Cuba and then coming to Europe, Lam really met most of the 20th century’s greatest artists in Paris and New York; he was introduced to Salvador Dalí, became part of the Surrealists, and met American abstract expressionists like Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock,” said Bscher.

Mark Bego — who wrote the bestselling “Michael!” in 1984, and went on the first three months of Victory tour shows with Jackson and his brothers — is anxious to see the movie “Michael” opening next week. Bego said, “My book ‘Michael!’ had just hit the best-seller lists across the country, and my publisher decided the only way I could keep the ball rolling was to go on The Victory Tour and write ‘On The Road With Michael!’”

“I will never forget the rush of excitement that opening night in Kansas City. Michael and his famed brothers presented the most exciting and ultra-choreographed rock show I have ever seen. And I ended up selling nine million Michael Jackson books in the process.”

When radio host Kevin McCullough and AM 970 launched Radio Night Live during the pandemic to promote the city when New Yorkers’ only entertainment was Cuomo’s Covid reports, his co-host Cristyne Nicholas thought the gig would only last a few months.

Wrong! Some 400 guests later, they celebrated the show’s 5-year anniversary this month.

Recent guests include NY Yankee President Randy Levine, on his appointment by President Trump to fix the broken NCAA college sports name image and license deal system; Gary Sinise, on his late son Mac Sinise’s upcoming album Resurrection & Revival Part 3; and Broadway legend Betty Buckley on her shows at Joe’s Pub Aug. 24-26.
