    Celebrities are people who have put themselves out there to be judged by the world, and I'm sure none of them under any delusions that they look fantastic still...

    EXACTLY.

    to be judged by the world are you kidding me! LMAO

    Yes, I'm an actress. I should know. You do get judge by directors, fellow actors, the audience. That's life. Deal with it.

    .....so how come we never heard of you?

    Anyway...did you ever think that actors just want to act? Maybe some of them aren't out there for judgement and celebrity status, they just wanna do what they're good at.

    Just because I act doesn't mean I'm famous, honey. And if that's the case, they shouldn't be actors. Take a journalism class and learn about libel laws and how they apply to private individuals vs. public officials and you well get what I'm saying.

    Of course I knew that, honey. I acted in the 4th grade play so I'm an actress too.

    And I'll pass on the journalism classes. I'm done with college and made sure I went to a school that didn't make me waste time in a class like that. Maybe you should take an acting class and you might make it big :smile:

    Not judging, and not patting myself on the back. It just saddens me to see others judged by their appearance instead of their actions or behaviors. Many of the people shown as aging badly brought much enjoyment to my life, whether through songs or movies and so on. That's what I focus on. What they DID and what they made me feel makes me admire them still. I see no need to tear down others based on appearance.

    well said sista!

    Funny how many people read this thread from their soap boxes, congratulated themselves for their political correctness, then posted here to JUDGE those of us who are just having a little laugh in...what was it again...oh yeah, the FUN AND GAMES category of the message boards. Celebrities are people who have put themselves out there to be judged by the world, and I'm sure none of them under any delusions that they look fantastic still... Not one person here pointed out any celebrity that hasn't already been judged by the mainstream media or millions of other people, so lighten up a little FFS.....

    Thanks for reading, and please be sure to log in all those extra calories you burned while patting yourselves on the back. :laugh:

    Beautifully said! It's for fun, guys! Come on! Nobody is making anyone look at these pics, or reply to this thread. If you know yourself to be so sensitive about a few jabs at some has-been celebrities, then go find a thread that's better suited to your delicate constitution.

    this is fun to you???? Look at the big picture honey, but whatever....yeah I am patting myself on the back cuz I'm a nice person!!!!!
    Then I guess the rest of us are just horrible people because we no longer think certain celebrities are as hot as they used to be? Are you frickin' serious?

    I think the best part of this thread is these people who have their panties all up in a bunch defending celebrities. Do you think these celebrities give a rats @ss if you're defending them, and even better...do you think THEY wouldn't ever judge YOU based on your appearance?

    If you're all so 'saddened and disgusted' by the thread...please, by all means....LOOK AWAY! The fun and games section is for people with a sense of humor after all...stop taking yourselves so seriously (and be careful not to fall off that high horse) :laugh:

    THANK YOU to the people who posted pics of the folks who've improved with age and/or aged gracefully. At 50-60-70 You're NOT gonna look like you did 20-30 years ago, but who wants to? I think if you accept who you are and feel confident and comfortable with yourself (and your looks), you can ROCK IT at any age!!

    Youth fades, but attitude lasts forever!!

    Yea, I have to agree. Not a fan of this thread, with the exception of those who chose to post pictures of celebs they think aged well. Well, carry on.

    Ahh...George Michael (he was SOOO hot). He looks pretty dang good in this new album cover (actually this new song "White Light" is really good if you haven't heard it).

  • So what is the moral to this story? What can we learn from this? Don't do drugs, take care of yourself including your weight and don't rely on your looks to make a pay check . Find other things that make you happy beside looks because one day it all goes away.

    Sounds like some of you have your panties in a wad. This is a thread about who you think used to be hot, but no longer find attractive. It's really not that big of a deal, it's chit chat. Which, last time I checked, is what this category is for. If all you have to do with your time is flame people on forums, you seriously need to get a life. Nobody is hurting anyone else, and nobody is doing anything wrong.

    Wow!! Just wow!!! I looked at this thread because I was curious to see what some of the people I grew up with watching looked like now, because I don't really look at celebrity news type stories. I haven't posted any pics good or bad and the only comments I have made on any pics are how hot RDJ is. The reason I'm replying to you however is that you talk about people being mean and making fun of celebrities because of how they look now or how they let themselves go but here you are bashing someone on a forum for their profession and insulting their college career and what classes people may or may not have taken. Seriously??? How are you any better then any of the people bashing the celebrities, and that makes you a nice person?

    I just got readmitted into college after being out of school for 7-8 years raising my children. I am a physics major and I already had an AA degree so the University of Utah isn't going to make me take any general classes except for maybe American History, but any new incoming students have to take 2 courses minimum in each of the different areas of study that aren't for their major. So me being a science major that means I would have had to take 2 fine arts courses, 2 humanities types, and 2 social science types. If someone picks journalism as one of their "rounding out their education" courses or electives or just something to mark of a gen ed requirement then that's their prerogative and just because a college offers journalism doesn't mean its a crappy university either. Not to mention that I don't think anyone in the media gets by without some kind of journalism course of some sort. You don't see me going around insulting people who work in psychology or sociology or something saying they didn't get a real education because their science isn't "real" science or because they never took calc or quantum mechanics or diff equations. Jeesh.

    And really? Maybe she is young and fairly new at acting. Maybe she has been acting in local theater or in smaller movies or commercials or trying to get into a tv show. Everyone has to start somewhere. My biggest thing is just how hypocritical you are from just one post to the next on the same thread.

    I think I look way better now at 40 than I did in my 20s, so I prefer to focus on those who also got better. Like the always hot Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go's.

    In the early 80s...

    2009...

    JaneWiedlinasBettiePage.jpg

    Enough to make you really want some sex, drugs and rock n' roll!
    Yes.... I'll take all three..... Later on this evening... And every night. Haaah. Dang. Jane still looks good. : ) Does a body Good!

    Usually It would be me crying and saying this is insensitive. Judging others looks over the years.
    Look at it this way... We all get older and age..... Whats the alternative???? We die...

    Haha thats a good one. To bad we can not all be rock stars or maybe its a good thing since they are under the public eye all the time. Im sure that gets annoying.

    Wait...these rich and famous (or at least formerly rich and famous) people are less fortunate than us? Now THAT is hilarious. Thanks for hijacking an otherwise fun thread. You must be a blast at parties!

    Sharing an opinion of who you think is less attractive now is not demeaning. It's an opinion. & even if people are demeaning others, it doesn't make you any better to demean them for doing it.

    Wow, does this thread ever need a Midol... It's one thread, on an entire forum. Lighten the eff UP. I don't agree with faulting celebrities for "ageing badly" just because they have aged, period... but there are some who have really, really let themselves go for their current age, or they have done horrible things to themselves under the knife... and in an image-based industry, no less. It's the loss of what could have been, had they taken better care of themselves. It doesn't mean that we don't acknowledge that we have let ourselves go, too. Why aren't the lot of you hysterically screeching at the other half of the internet, which is composed of innumerable celebrity gossip sites that are far more critical?
