Sofia Vergara: Freezing her eggs in the quest for perfection

An earlier report that said that 40-year-old "Modern Family" star Sofia Vergara and 37-year-old fiance Nick Loeb were pursuing surrogacy may or may not be true, after all, but either way, on Tuesday it was revealed that the couple is seeking reassurances of a better chance for a baby, as the TV star is having her eggs frozen.

The beans were spilled during a lunch interview with Vogue, in which Vergara, already the mother of 21-year-old Manolo, from her marriage to her childhood sweetheart, Joe Gonzalez, said "I have to be careful what I eat because they're freezing my eggs!"

The "Modern Family" star said she is starting a process that includes hormone pills and injections because "they want to get as many eggs as they can because usually you produce them but they're not good. They have to be perfect, perfect, perfect ones. My boyfriend (Nick Loeb) is 37, younger than me, never had kids. So."

It's an ironic turn of events, since her "Modern Family" character, Gloria, has been pregnant this current season.

While Vergara didn't explain what exactly she intends to do with the frozen eggs -- they could still be bound for a surrogate, after all -- she did veer into details about her famous curves, saying:

"I mean, a normal girl will just put the dress on and leave. I need them to be like an armory. My dresses are like a work of art inside because, you know, I am 40 years old, I had a baby, and I am a 32F boob. And they (her breasts) are real still.

"When they are fake, you take the bra off and they are still there, perfect! Me -- no, so I have to bring them up! I have to build the dresses up to here so that the bras -- ach, it's a whole, der --- ugh -- tchah!"
