Fans ask: Where is Lil' Kim?

Freshly-released rapper Lil' Kim is the subject of much plastic surgery gossip following the end of her house arrest.

The hip-hop star - who left prison last month after serving 10 months of a 366-day sentence for perjury - has not been seen in public in almost 2 months.

During her stay in prison, Kim packed on a few pounds. Her fans on the popular Lil' Kim board "Lil' Kim Zone" speculate the star is getting work done.

One fan writes

" i hope she had some collagen pumped into the sides of her nose"

Another fan

"i hope she takes her time with the whole image thing and doesn't over do it!!! as much as i love her i don't want her to rush anything esp if she is getting any type of surgery."

In other news, the 31-year-old is keen for her contract with Atlantic records to be renegotiated or, even better, terminated.

Her lawyer L Londell McMillan told MTV: "We are having discussions which I cannot confirm the details (of) at this time.

"However, we do wish Atlantic would release and simply free Kim."
