RIO DE JANEIRO -- A 27-year-old Brazilian reality TV star who was runner-up in a best-buttocks competition has been hospitalized with complications from a cosmetic procedure to enlarge her thighs. Andressa Urach is in serious condition with an infection in her thighs after receiving under-skin injections of a substance to increase volume in the upper legs. Urach was runner up in Brazil's 2012 Miss Bumbum contest celebrating shapely bottoms.
