A good friend’s husband made a funny comment about my hair, pointing to a VERY noticeable white streak a la X-Men Rogue (yeah, right) and, though I laughed with him, I was mortified and crushed (as was his wife who proceeded to smack and scold him). If one silly comment from a friend can send you into an emotional tailspin, I can’t imagine what nasty comments from thousands of strangers worldwide can do!

But on the other hand, there’s no reason for her to respond in this bizarre way, trying to deflect and distract us from what is probably just a case of hurt feelings and bruised ego. I mean,really, nobody likes to get old, but it’s a blessing. Accept and embrace it gracefully–don’t be a bitter whiner.

Seriously? Judd chose a career that revolves around being seen and talked about, and is paid millions to do it. In addition, she’s used her face and body to advertise for brand products as well as her chosen pet causes.

Bottom line: If people were commenting on Judd’s beauty instead of pointing out her puffy face she would not be using every outlet available to whine about the misogynistic, patriarchal society. These are the ramblings of a vain, insecure narcissist with a platform. She’s using a bigger issue to lash out at negative comments about her appearance.

I think it would be refreshing to turn on the tv or see a mag or a movie, and not notice that almost every actress has had something done. Is it just me? what is going on? I remember being naive about duck lips terms etc and new to learning about ps & I still am a bit shocked by it all… :/ I guess it will just make the population value youth even more before all the ps because the ones with it just do not seem like the cherished actors of the distant past… the classic NON enhanced beauties…. Maybe it is just the enhanced actresses get called out most or shocking changes are more popular to discuss IDK!

Shannon Doherty photo on yahoo recently? is that really her? and Renee mag cover? WHAT

I think it is because these women are used, from the get-go, to having a plastic surgeon help them obtain the ideal of beauty they then present to us as ‘natural’, ‘born-with’ etc.
To me that is the only explanation for why beautiful girls/women schlep their bodies to a doc’s office for ‘help’ the moment a tiniest imperfection appears. They’ve simply done that forever, and most likely, the prettier the woman the more the plastic surgeon was engaged in making her that way.
I used to think that there were soooo many ‘naturally’ beautiful actresses, but I finally realized that probably 90% are plastic, even though they do not YET look it. And once you get used to running to your surgeon with every tiniest problem, you do not even realize that the slope gets more and more slippery with each visit. That’s why they all seem to – at one point in their lives – have crossed that invisible border, from behind which there is no return, and at which we finally realise how fake, plastic, worked-over and artificial their beauty was.

I thought the same until the 3rd episode, when her friend from US showed up in Cannes. It was almost as if the whole cast and production crew had been abducted by aliens and substituted by others who had no clue what they were doing. The acting became campy and ridiculous, with over-acting spreading like wildfire from person to person. The writing became trite, stupid, and unrealistic in the extreme. The action/events became just sooo contrived, so forced, so…just sooooo bad. The wole thing went to sh!t in 3 min tops. I could only stand 5 more min of the show, and after that did not watch a moment more. Even when I want mindless entertainment, I still have some standards, it turns out. That crap is not just camp, it is a total kitch, a complete disaster, and I do not think it will even last the whole first season thru – it will most likely get cancelled in an episode or two.
Yes, it REALLY is THAT BAD.
And Ashley – oh, she’s the worst of the bunch. Almost like she did not get the memo what kind of campy crap they were shooting, so she shows up to work every morning ready to knock ‘Richard III’ out of the park or something.
I think she not only lost all her beauty and charm from her youth, she lost any acting ability she might have had before.
Since she will not be able to support herself as a successful actress much longer, I bet we’ll soon hear a declaration of how she ‘decided to dedicate all her efforts to her charity work’ from now on. Too bad she apparently sucks at that, too….

Thank you, to be honest if I were on Prednisone (temporarily) and I were Ashley or someone like her, I would hide out until the effects were over.

Here is a really weird example: Jerry Lewis the 80something comic. He was put on Prednisone indefinitely, he swelled up like a balloon. He went on Larry King to explain why he looked like that because he knew he looked like he gained 200lbs in a week.

I’ll admit it, I am HARSH when it comes to actors. I see it as being negligent in their duties if they don’t look perfect. I hold them to standards that I would never hold aid 20 year old or even Princess Kate to. It’s not Kate’s job to look perfect or even to be genetically beautiful.

The thing is, I am not sexist – Ashley can go look at what I say about how old Brad Pitt is looking or if she really wants to have fun she can see what I think of Fassbender…

“When my skin is nearly flawless, and at age 43, I do not yet have visible wrinkles that can be seen on television…”

The opposite applies to him – he wishes he looked 43.

There are some actors: Meryl, Tilda, DeNiro, Pacino who have a career and can look like crap but 99% of them are hired for their looks. The ones that hang on, also happen to have talent but that was a lucky accident.

I never heard anyone say she looked ugly – just not her usually pretty self.
