'I did do quite a bit of research on Scientology and had to learn the terms like Theta, Xenu and stuff like that,' said Carlson. The Scientology angle was also played straight without any embellishments, said Carlson. Series creator Ryan Murphy has also said that 'Nip/Tuck''s bizarre medical cases are based on fact - including the story of an obese woman who was literally stuck to her couch - and Carlson says they have a medical adviser and several plastic surgeons feeding them information. 'They always say life is crazier than fiction, and in this case it's true.' 'As crazy as 'Nip/Tuck' sounds and is, 99 per cent of our stories come from true stories - stories from the paper or friends or other plastic surgeons or whatever,' Carlson, sporting Kimber's trademark Marilyn Monroe-style hair underneath a beret, said in a recent interview in Toronto. Minneapolis, Minn.-born actress Kelly Carlson, who plays Kimber, says most of the zany events on the bawdy show actually come from real life. Welcome to the freaky world of Kimber Henry, the troubled blond bombshell on the steamy plastic surgery drama series 'Nip/Tuck,' having its season 5 debut Sunday in Canada after the Super Bowl on CTV. Oh yeah, and she's having a child with her ex-fiance's son, whom she married just to spite her former lover. TORONTO - She's undergone countless plastic surgeries, was disfigured by a serial killer, had a cocaine addiction, built a pornography business, designed a sex doll in her likeness and joined Scientology, which made her bankrupt.
