Madonna in leather for Berlin ‘Hard Candy’ gym opening: budget, plastic or hot?

wenn20771179

Here are some new photos of Madonna at the Berlin opening of Madge’s Hard Candy gym – I’ve lost count of how many franchises she has now. She has one in Mexico, one in Rome and one in Berlin. I think there are others. I think we should be thankful that Madge didn’t wear her Grill (Grillz?) for this opening, which is what she did last time, for the Rome opening.

I have to ask you guys something about Madonna’s face… does it look like she’s had some recent work? I’m really asking. In some photos, I think she looks softer and less plastic-y, but then in others… I feel like we might be seeing new eye work. Something looks tighter and weirder around her eyes in particular.

By the way, as I’ve covered in the links over the past week, Madge acted like a dumbass at a recent NYC screening of 12 Years a Slave at the Alamo Drafthouse. She attended the screening, posed on the red carpet with director Steve McQueen, then she sat there during the film, texting the entire time, apparently. When someone asked her to stop, she shouted: “It’s for business… enslaver!” The Alamo Drafthouse now says that Madonna is not welcome at any of their theaters until she apologizes.

    Her face is so tight it looks painfull.

    • Kiddo says:

      She’s moving into Sunset Blvd territory these days, not necessarily in these pics, but some I’ve seen the past week.

      • Meredith says:

        TOTALLY Nora Desmond! Her body is great but her face (and all the work she’s had done to it) is giving me nightmares. It’s a damn shame because she is/was such an icon – she didn’t need to mess with her face.

      • lisa says:

        yes, she is close to wildensteining

      • DEB says:

        She looks like she’s had a very recent eye-lift. And also recently some fresh fillers in the face. She looks like the Pillsbury Dough Boy.

    • Aud says:

      in the second last shot, it looks like she can’t even blink.

    • Libby says:

      She’s getting that weird cat-eyes look like Jocelyn Wildenstein. Too many facelifts!

      • MrsB says:

        That’s the first thing I thought of when I saw the header photo…she’s morphing into the crazy cat lady!

      • Bernice says:

        Exactly what I thought. Her eyebrows are tilted up, underneath her eyes looks painful, her cheeks are melting and she’s gone Wildenstein. Horrid. Great body. Wish she had left her face alone. It hurts my stomach to look at her.

      • Jane says:

        ^THIS!! 1000%

    • KayLastima says:

      Yeah, her eyes have that wind tunnel look.

      And someone needs to tell her that after a certain age women need to line the waterline so that the sagging inner lid isn’t so glaring.

    • Nikki says:

      Yeah. If you Google “Madonna 2011” there’s a clear difference. She’s OD’d on the fillers and the lines around her eyes absolutely look pulled back. She’s starting to veer into Joan Rivers territory. I wish she hadn’t messed with her looks so much, she was a beautiful woman.

  2. bns says:

    She looks good. I’ve been listening to Ray of Light nonstop lately.

    • Carolyn says:

      Ray of Light was her last good album.

      Hard Candy gyms? Seriously? People would actually go to a gym because Madonna created a franchise?

      Just watched a 90s music special on Foxtel. Madonna was so beautiful, soft, fit and natural back then. She surely now looks in the mirror and doesn’t like what she sees.

  3. David99 says:

    WOW is her face pulled back. It looks very painful.

  4. Sarah says:

    all the implants are starting to make her eyes and mouth look like they are receding into her face – and yeah, the eyes do look particularly weird at the moment.

  5. The Original G says:

    WHY is her look so stuck?

  6. aims says:

    she looks ridiculous.

  7. kellybean says:

    Her eyes are freaking me out!

  8. Dani2 says:

    Her body looks great, love it, her face, however..not so much.

  9. Hautie says:

    Here I am thinking her face finally is looking settled. Her cheeks don’t look near as jacked up.

    Now for me… it is those odd looking eyelashes, that are making her eyes look a little off.

    • k says:

      I thought the same thing about her cheeks… finally settled after the implants.

    • Zwella Ingrid says:

      I agree. I think the eyelashes are the thing making her eyes looked all jacked up. I don’t care what she does to herself I can’t stand her, and have never liked her. They should have thrown her stupid entitled a$$ out of the theatre.

  10. LadySlippers says:

    Answer: none of the above. GROSS is my answer.

    I’d bet she’d look a ton better if she allowed herself to age naturally. She used to be quite pretty.

  11. Post-Its says:

    That face has more plastic in it than a Toys R Us. And she would look so much better if she changed her styling.

    • It'sJustBlanche says:

      Styling is a big part of the problem. That much black leather is for younger women and even then it can look harsh. At the very least keep it away from your face.

  12. Elisabeth says:

    she looks like the Madame Puppet

  13. Harriet says:

    I always wondered when age would catch up with her and now I know!

  14. Azurea says:

    Very tight, for sure, and her chin looks very large all of a sudden….

  15. Just says:

    Mrs.Fluffy face, looking like she’s got Brit Brit legs.

    • hunter says:

      Yup! I don’t know if it’s the shine of the leather or the styling porportions or what but her legs look thick to me for the first time ever.

      Also just a wee bit around her middle too – it’s okay to be 50 Madonna.

  16. Justpassingby says:

    I looked like this that one time when I tried botox. the undereye horizontal crease is a telltale sign of poorly injected botox in the eye area. It will dissolve and go away in a couple of months…

  17. mrspatrickbateman says:

    She looks like Lisa Marie Presley in a few photos.

  18. pretty says:

    I really really don’t understand why people stuff their faces with whatever materials they can stuff.

    i googled madonna 2000 and this http://i.imgur.com/boq8amQ.jpg pic of her is so beautiful!

    i would just pull my scalp and make my skin tight but would never want moon-face. -__- it is just not attractive!

    • Jayna says:

      That photo isn’t 2000. It’s from the last few years and after her cheek implants and fillers.

  19. eliza says:

    Her hair is too yellow. Her face, well it speaks for itself.

  20. Laurabb says:

    I’m from Austin, home of the Alamo Draft House, and they take that kind of thing VERY seriously! I love that story.

  21. Patricia says:

    I’m not surprised about her blatant rudeness at the theater. Nothing she does surprises me when it comes to rudeness anymore.
    Also I think of her as that wretched woman in front of a mirror who can’t stand her own aging process and is going mad over it. Has anyone been watching American Horror Story Coven? She would fit right in with the theme of women who can’t handle aging and ruin their later years obsessing over it. She could just be happy and proud of her work but she lets a few wrinkles get in the way.

  22. Lisa says:

    I won’t comment on her face, but that outfit is not doing her any favors.

  23. blue marie says:

    Meh, no. The jacket reminds me of Janet Jackson Rhythm Nation.

  24. ladybert62 says:

    She looks old
    She looks outdated
    She looks trying too hard to be 25 again
    Her face looks painful!

  25. BRE says:

    Interesting that she has the face of Bravo housewife but not the blinding white teeth.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      I was thinking the EXACT same thing. Clock is ticking till she gets veneers right?

  26. TG says:

    I will never understand why it is so wrong to be human. I mean we all age. If you are lucky anyway.

  27. mystified says:

    Looks like she’s auditioning to be John Waters’ next drag queen muse.

  28. Ann says:

    Stop dressing like it’s the 80s!

  29. Sarah says:

    In the picture with her mouth open she looks like Joycelin Wildenstein.

  30. Puff Daddy says:

    Its amazing how women are so hard on each other. Madonna looks amazingly good – fit and sexy. And yet, those insecure, jealous sisters are tearing her down for having a passion for her body –
    and in essence, life.
    She can wear what she damn well wants.
    You poor, boring bishes…

    • Puff Daddy says:

      And her face is fine.
      Check out young Hollywood and get back to me…

      • Nan says:

        She’s putting herself out there for judgment, is why. She’s an entertainer trying to sell records and concerts. Having a look is part of her salesmanship — ESPECIALLY with Madonna! Are you serious? We don’t have to like or buy what’s she’s selling.

    • fingerbinger says:

      This is a blog where you can come and snark and throw shade on celebrities. I do find people to be a little hard on her,but it’s because they don’t think she’s growing old gracefully. That said, I am a Madonna fan and I think she looks great.

    • LadySlippers says:

      Sorry, I’m not jealous. I’m sad for her. She used to be pretty.

      But you ARE correct, it’s her body and she can do with it and dress it as she pleases.

    • Zwella Ingrid says:

      No she does not look good. Get real!

    • Nina W says:

      Feel sorry for Madonna, she’s the one who can’t handle aging gracefully and despite all her money and success she has ruined her face. It’s tragic.

    • Phoebe says:

      It never ceases to amaze me how men can say whatever they want about male celebrities and not be criticized for it….but when women talk about female celebrities, all the angry losers that were jerking off to those celebrities chauvanistically jump down their throats and call them ‘petty’, ‘catty’, and ‘jealous.’ Because the only reason women who critize the favorite jerkoff girls for these assholes is that they must be ‘jealous.’ Sure…We women are very silly creatures that way, and all we really think about when we evaluate celebrities is whether or not we are jealous of them because they appeal to your male mind more than we do.

      And then, to be extra rich, try to tie it into a faux-feminist message (‘be her sister!’).

      If someone loves to rub it out in front a Material Girl poster, good for them. That’s their biz. I wish ’em a happiest date one could have with Rosie Palmer and the 5 sisters. But there are plenty of valid reasons for criticizing Madoona (rotten personality–known for treating service people like utter crap, white savior complex re Malawi, narcisistic cult peddler, to name just a few). Women think about things other than their jealously.

  31. Nan says:

    Second-rate eye job –yikes — but her weird over-filled cheeks of a few months ago look better. The great irony is that with all of her spending on cosmetic procedures & shopping, she doesn’t look convincingly young and she has such bad taste. All of that striving and expenditure — for nothing. It must greatly enrich her “teams” though.

    • YuYa says:

      She really needs to give Demi Moore’s surgeon a call. She is ruining what is left of her striking beauty….just STOP Madonna!

    • Maureen says:

      I’m not so sure these women are trying to look young. I think they are just trying not to look *aged*. In other words — they still look roughly their ages but without the usual sagging and lined effects that come with that age. That’s what I really think it is. She isn’t trying to look 30 .. or even 40 … she’s trying not to look hollow-cheeked, thin-lipped, and eye-sagging. Well, she’s achieved that with ridiculous results!

      BTW, how come no one mentions her butt? Her butt is shaped exactly like Kim Kardashian’s, only much smaller. She’s had fat injections into her bottom (Madonna), no doubt about it. It’s very oddly shaped.

  32. Walt Jr! says:

    I’m not liking this hair color on her. Maybe something warmer, and less brassy would be better?

  33. poppy says:

    she just pumped the cheek and chin implants beyond the recommended 32 psi.
    seriously, she has jacked her face beyond defence.
    her eyelids are disappearing.

  34. Jen says:

    How does one grow old gracefully? Do you stop wearing leather and lycra and ass hugging tights – all the good stuff, cause society wont let you? Im 25 and I’ll be dressing the same way when Im 80.
    Wekcome to the future.

    • Nina W says:

      I’m fine with the clothes but her face, it’s painful to look at.

    • IzzyB says:

      It’s the plastic surgery.

      My mum is 65, still wears jeans and snug jumpers. The necklines have gotten more conservative but she has a trendy haircut and highlights and she looks good because she’s not still trying to be 25.

      Madonna is trying to scrape and implant her way back to 25 and her face is not wearing it well.

  35. ina says:

    I saw Madonna last year. She looked to me, much much better in real life than on most of the pics I see of her. Are people less photogenic with age or something?
    Anyways, she looks great for her age.

  36. Jaded says:

    Her hair colour looks like some out-of-the-box crap she bought at Wal-Mart. Her outfit looks like she just stepped out of an audition for a back-up dancer for Grease IV. Her face is reaching the tipping point for fillers, botox and tweaking. She’s now become a caricature of herself, no wonder she’s such a beyotch to everyone.

  37. Janet says:

    When viewed up close, her face scares me.

  38. JuliaGulia says:

    Her face is a completely different shape than it used to be – what’s with the Desperate Dan chin? She has a great bod, but her outfits don’t do it justice, and she could do with a softer hairstyle and colour…

  39. greenmonster says:

    She reminds me of Rue Mcclanahan in those pictures.

  40. Grant says:

    Her ass looks amazing in those pants, probably because we can’t see all the veins in her legs.

  41. Alex says:

    I’m curious as to whether she is going to wear gloves with every outfit, for the rest of her life?

  42. Nicolette says:

    Scary, just plain scary. And I doubt she gives a crap about not being let into a theater anymore considering she could buy the damn thing.

  43. Alice says:

    She looks like a young someone else.

  44. aaron says:

    Madonna was not at the Alamo Drafthouse. It was a different theater. The whole texting story was based on a Facebook post where the author admitted was all heresay. The fact that this even made the news is pathetic.

  45. Ginger says:

    Her face does look a bit tight to me. At least her teeth still look natural but the rest? Not so much. I can’t tell if it’s Botox or a face lift?

  46. Maggie says:

    She has great skin but it is full of fillers. Her hair style doesn’t help but I still think she’s attractive. Aging has to be hard when you are in the public eye for so long. I still admire her. Take a look at Cher!

    • Jayna says:

      The thing is Madonna could just have done minimal work and looked amazing. I just hate that she effed with her bone structure with the implants and fillers. Here’s Madonna nine years ago at an award ceremony. Those planes of her face have gone. She had a flatter face with big eyes, and I loved her outfit. She wore a sexy longer dress to her knees slit in the middle as a wrap dress in hot pink and then wore black boots. I adored this Madonna. All the fillers and implants distort her face at angles and she looks mean, not softer. I liked her bone structure to her face before all her pillow face look. Her eyes used to always be the focal point of her face, not a big face. Plus in the clip she had such an amazing figure, and dressed in a way that rocked it, not try-hardy. Back when she was funny and her eyebrows were in their normal place, not all botoxed and frozen higher. It’s shocking the difference between then and now and how pretty she was at 45.

  47. leela says:

    SCARY.

  48. Green Eyes says:

    That leather.. Yeast infections. Ouch!

  49. Madpoe says:

    butterface.

  50. Jules says:

    This woman looks freakin ridiculous.

    The pin on her insanely too tight leather jacket should have the word “try” above it.

    • Insomniac says:

      The sausage thing was way more striking to me than her face. She seriously uncomfortable , stuffed so tight I doubt she could walk normally. All she had to do was bend over a little to far, and there would have been a serious wardrobe malfunction.

  51. MonkSolo says:

    her skin looks like leather. speeeewwwww!!

  52. Connie says:

    She wasn’t texting at the Alamo Drafthouse — she was at Lincoln Center. Alamo Drafthouse banned her (humorously) because they have a strict no-texting policy. You may remember them from a few years ago when they posted (and which subsequently went viral) a phone message recording left by some drunk girl who had been kicked out for texting. It was hilarious.

  53. madchen says:

    Her face makes me sad. I really loved her features when she was younger and she was so expressive.

    It appears that she had a deep peel around the eyes that just finished healing.

    Beyond her face, I just can’t with the gloves anymore. I know she’s trying to hide aging hands – which are very difficult and painful to change via cosmetic dermatology and/or surgery but the gloves are no longer a look.

  54. Mary says:

    Madonna, were both 55, now quit trying to look like your 25. Scrape together some dignity and pride, do something for humanity and quit worrying about how many wrinkles you have.

  55. Madriani's Girl says:

    She looks desperate to me.

  56. tessy says:

    Everything is way too tight, her face and her leathers. The back view is just ridiculous. She’s going to have to cut those clothes off of herself to remove them.

  57. Voyeur says:

    Faye Dunaway.

  58. lolalola3 says:

    Totally. Looks like she’s been yoinked up by her hairline. Why can’t she just leave well enough alone?!?

  59. Mabs says:

    She has got to stop dressing like that. She looks uncomfortable, stiff, forced…grow up woman…it’s time.

  60. homegrrrrl says:

    Lil Kim !

  61. MonkSolo says:

    wat a horror show… the clothes are probably the only thing holding her together

  62. kellyinseattle says:

    I try to give her the benefit of the doubt, but it’s getting difficult. The outfit…so try hard, and the grasping on to her fame like she’s desperate.

  63. Asdfg says:

    I thought she was looking good until I got to the picture of her backside. 😆

    OMG!

  64. lavagirl says:

    Is that Madonna or Jocelyn the Bride of Wildestein? Hard to tell.

  65. Moi says:

    Let go madonna….embrace aging. I do not agree with the recent text fiasco. Get some manners.

  66. j78 says:

    She has a furry chin. Thats all.

  67. L says:

    She keeps covering her hands when she’s in public. Know why? Because her hands show her age.

  68. Lenore21 says:

    Can she undo any of the shit to her face, or is she f**ked? Like there is not going back? Like if she did undo it, she’d just have a blank sheet of paper instead of real human features? Why would she do that to herself? She’s really relatively young.

  69. Gogirl says:

    I think she would look better if her hair was a better shade and a different style. It is a god thing I don’t have money because I might go overboard like some of these stars.

  70. A Fan says:

    Those things in her cheeks are pushing her eyes up.

  71. dorothy says:

    Her body is rocking it. However, her face tells her age. Maybe time to hang up the leather. Too long and it becomes comical.

  72. Huhu says:

    it looks as if her eyes are gonna fall down anyday now…so sad
