This might not be the most popular opinion, but I think Madonna is physically transforming herself into a version of Courtney Love. Right? These are new photos of Madonna at the Macy’s launch of her perfume, Truth or Dare, last night in NYC. Madonna wore Dolce & Gabbana, and she must love how little she looks, because she looks incredibly tiny and petite here. The dress is… meh. I don’t love it or hate it on Madonna. It looks like something she’s worn a million times before. I do kind of like the sheer sleeves, and I like her coat too.
I’ve been saying that I like Madonna’s current body transformation so much, and that holds here – she just looks softer and prettier. She’s not so gristly and ‘roidy like she was when Tracy Anderson was training her. I have no doubt that Madonna is still really fit and she could probably kick my ass. But I like that it’s not all about her bulging muscles and her veins now. I also think Madonna’s current hair color and length is really beautiful and flattering. As for her face… well, the cheek implants have “settled” so that’s good. But her face is still incredibly CRAZY.
Madonna spoke to reporters while on the red carpet too. She claimed that she’s been “trying to develop a fragrance for probably the last 15 years…It’s never worked out with various companies and different people and trying different fragrances… They never turned out the way I wanted them to smell.” The reason? Because Madonna has expensive taste, of course: “It’s the mass producing part that always gets tricky, because for some reason the fragrances that I like tend to be really expensive. One time I created a smell and I was told the amber, it was like a million dollars to ship from India or something. …And then they tried to make a synthetic (version). This happens a lot and it never smells as good as you want it to smell. That’s happened a couple times. Finally I got a smell I like that I can mass produce. Yay!” Madge also had some nice things to say about Malawi’s new (female) president – you can read it here.

Okay, Spinner, thanks for saying that b/c I was starting to feel like I’m the only one who thought so! To me, she looks softer and that hairstyle is super flattering, IMO.
Okay listen carefully everyone, this woman is “mature”. She will have feet, hands, elbows, whatevs that look like a fifty-odd years old woman would have. Can we please stop hating on the temerity of women to age? FFS, their driven to cut their own faces b/c, heaven forbid, a wrinkle be there. Then again, heaven forbid, that they look like they’ve had work done. And if it’s good work, heaven forbid, other parts look age appropriate. And if everything is pretty okay, with or without having work done then just the age itself can be used to tear them apart. Maybe at age 40 or 45 we can just revoke their “right to entertain” card or have ‘em taken out back and shot. Michael Bay might be our celebrity proponent of that idea.

I’m over 50 and my hands and feet don’t look veiny like hers. I also don’t wear seethrough skirts or pump my face full of fillers, and I look younger than she does.
That said, she looks better here than she has in a long time, but I can’t take my eyes off her veiny feet, so I’d say this look was a fail.

Madonna has been successful at reinventing herself commercially a hundred times over, but she’s failed to reinvent herself personally as a woman over 50. She needs to give up trying to be 30 and accept that she’s a mature woman. She just cannot give up the “image” she’s created. Everyone would stop talking about her looks if she stopped placing the emphasis on appearance. She has so much power to do good and could truly make a difference if she would transition her efforts to philanthropic causes. Yes, the idea of giving is foreign to her, but she could at least fake it.

Nope; when you’re a celebrity and you cut yourself up like that, you get criticized for it. It doesn’t help the cause of aging female actors and singers; it panders to the old boy network which doesn’t want to hire naturally-aged females.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Carpe Diem,
I agree with everything that you said. I do think that female entertainers pander to the old boy network when they “cut themselves up”. I also think that they are pandering to other women b/c lots of women, in general, have bought into this anything-not-to-age philosophy. I mean just look at some of the comments on this story. I guess, at this stage, I am less inclined to maul the victims of ageism and more inclined to just be sad about it. I do realize that Madonna, and others like her, contribute to this problem. I’m not even a Madonna fan.
BTW, I also feel like scantily dressed female entertainers create a similar, unacceptable problem from young women.

Madonna’s has Dancer’s Feet. Years of dancing has damaged her feet and she’ll be lucky to be able to walk in ten years. Also, the damage of dieting doesn’t help either.
Still she looks good for being in her mid-fifties.

The trend you see in posts about Madonna – comments expressing disgust at her visibly aged hands & feet, as well as comments mocking her plastic surgery & attempts to look youthful – perfectly reflect the double bind female celebs face as they age:
It’s shameful to look old, and it’s shameful to try to keep looking young.

I get where you can read that based on the comments here, but if you’re a site regular you’ll notice that you won’t see that kind of vitriol for Meryl Streep, Diane Keaton, or Helen Mirren.
The venom is pretty much reserved for Madonna only. She’s become a pathetic, desperate shell of who she once was, and some of us like to call her on it.

The best test for misogyny is not how you speak about women you like, it’s about how you choose to attack women you don’t like. A man who will speak glowingly about women he approves of, but then use gender-specific slurs to insult women who piss him off is still a misogynist.
It’s like when people dislike a female politician, they so often fall back on insults about her looks and insinuations about her sexuality, rather than just criticizing her policies.
No one is suggesting that you shouldn’t call Madonna out on her actions, statements, music, etc. My question is: why are you “calling her out” on having icky old lady hands/feet, something she has no control over and is presumably not the cause of your hostility? Furthermore, it stands to reason that if Madonna’s wrinkled hands are disgusting, so are the wrinkled hands of all aging women.
Our culture already tells us that older women are unattractive – why perpetuate that attitude? I’m guessing you don’t dislike her for getting old, you dislike her because you think she’s pretentious, a jerk, untalented, whatever. So call her a pretentious, untalented jerk, and leave it at that.

I don’t see the comments as specifically misogynistic or ageist. Yes, we are calling her a jerk BECAUSE she has decided to alter her face and body to ape youth. And because it’t a FAIL.

That is exactly the point: It is not bad to enjoy being young, it is not bad to try to stay in shape and to look after yourself. But with Madonna there is a huge gap between what she wants to be and what she really is – she seems to have big issues to accept herself and is trying so hard, that she just became fake. This is what people judge: Her being fake, not her ageing.
I think the dress is okay but absolutely inappropriate for a woman her age. It just points out all her flaws she is trying to get rid off so hard. And she does not even seem to be aware of it.
Madonna is pathetic and I actually feel sorry for her. I am glad to be myself – not rich, not famous, but happy. Sorrounded by people who really love me, no matter how old I am or how I look like.

In my opinion, all her attempts to defeat aging have back-fired.
I bet if she would have allowed herself to age gracefully, like Helen Mirren or Meryl Streep, she would be looking real fine right now. Even if she had a little nip/tuck, she would be okay. Instead, she took the extreme route with implants, fillers, and wind-tunnel face lift. She’s using her money to turn back the clock. It says to me that she hates her age. From dropping the drug references in the naming of her album, and at that awards ceremony, she will literally do anything to be younger, it seems.
It’s funny that her fans want to defend her by calling negative comments ageism. I think Madonna is ageist. She has called men her age boring, and she refuses “to sit around and get fat” (because that’s everyone older, right?). She is NOT an ideal image of the mature woman, in my opinion.

Don’t forget Diane Keaton, Iman, Jacqueline Bisset, and Diane Lane. They all look great and are aging gracefully.
I am going to be 54 next month. I’m not going to say growing older isn’t sometimes difficult. My daughter is 23 and yes, I sometimes envy her beautiful clear skin, hair, and slim figure.
But then I remember that in many countries the average life expectancy is only around 50 years. I am blessed with good health and I am thankful for every year on this beautiful earth that God gives me. And I don’t look too bad for an “old” gal — remember, black don’t crack!

Her face has calmed down, settled more from the filler – they were soo over filled before. I still think she is too thin at that age .. she could gain maybe 5-10 pound and be ok since she works out so much and it would look better in her body and face.
I also think that eye liner is too harsh for her.. more smudey .. get rid of that liquid liner and cat eye..it’s done. Her hair looks great though.

Forbes says…
Madonna’s “MDNA” album is dead. It’s really quite amazing. Amazon.com has dropped the price of downloading “MDNA” to five dollars. On iTunes, the only version of the album on the chart is the explicit one, selling for $14.99. It’s at number 49 on their chart.
The amazon.com situation is much worse. As a physical CD, “MDNA” is just gone. (Updated) The actual deluxe CD, has fallen to number 16. It’s the only one of the many versions of “MDNA” that’s selling at all. This is the second week of release. The clean version download — for $5 — is at #733. The dirty one, so to speak, is around 500. “MDNA” is just…gone. It’s a total sales collapse.

Normally I’d agree with the people saying it’s mean to condemn others for looking old or fake or whatever.
But, in Madonna’s case, SHE is the one who built her career on her looks. She’s always been so obnoxious showing off her face and body, putting it out there for public review. So now, people are justified in having an opinion on how she looks.

You cannot compare how Madonna looks at 53 to a ‘regular’ person who hasn’t had massive plastic surgery, personal trainers and all manner of age defying tools for the past 30 years. Level the playing field and lets see Madonna without all the plastic surgery and liposuction and then judge how she looks at 53. Remember how bad she looked in Swept Away? How old? Just add 11 years onto that w/o surgery and you can just imagine.
