Yes. I see what you mean. Oh well; hopefully, the concerts will raise enough money to both free Tibet AND cover the "vacation" (wink, wink) at Betty Ford.

Why is Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam on here? He's 43 and still hot. Here's a photo of him taken at an Awards show in January this year.

I really hope all here are so perfect you will never age and/or fight health conditions that can and does rob one of their youth.

Shame on you.

Well, by that standard, this whole board is 'mean' because the majority of the board is about discussing celebrities; the good, the bad and the ugly (and everybody in between).

Neil Patrick Harris, little Dougie Howser. Born 1973 which makes him only 36.
I think he looks pretty old for his age.

I dont agree with most of the celebs here. The ones that have had the bad PS look awful. We just saw Liz Taylor at MJs memorial services and she didnt look all that bad. As for Brigette Bardot shes 80 yrs old she looks fine, but Doogie is the one that doesn't look his age at all poor guy looks like hes pushing 50. I believe aging nicely has alot to do with how you present urself....the wrinkles are a given.

Bardot will be 75 next week. Sun damage and smoking make her look about a decade older.

Jackie Onassis aged awfully. I know she smoked, and battled cancer at the end of her life, but this is a picture of her in 1986 (8 years before her death) and she was only 57. She looks like my Nana did in her seventies (and she smoked all her life, too).

Also being as skinny as she was didn't help either.

Jackie suffered from anorexia for YEARS, and that ages you.

Eddie Vedder is still smokin hot, I'd hit that any day, any time

Good call! I agree!!!

These celebs can't win. Unless they stay very lean, they can't get work and we ridicule them. So being thin is part of the job, but because of the low bodyfat, they get wrinkles earlier and then we say that they aren't aging well. They get injections and surgeries to make themselves more youthful and that's criticized too. I mean, take your pick! What if all celebs stopped getting these surgeries and treatments, would that make everyone happy? I think not.

Another thing to remember is that some of these stars were in our favorite movies and TV shows how long ago? We can't expect them to look the same.

I've had a plastic surgeon tell me that thin (thin-skinned), nordic-type skins age the fastest generally speaking. Not only that but I'm in my 40s and when I was growing up we didn't have the great sunscreens we do now, and we were also told that tanning salons were safe.

I think you're on the wrong message board with this complaint.

Why? I'm kind of new here so please fill me in. I also have a couple of family members in the biz so I know what they go through.

Chilly Willy · September 24th, 2009, 10:39 AM

^ Yes! One Of those! We've haven't had a troll close to the star in a long ass time!

ETA: I just post stalked you and you seem to be good at blind items. Welcome!

So are you fifth Baldwin?

Coffeelover · September 24th, 2009, 11:37 AM

Thanks! Yep - I'm the 5th Baldwin! LOL

Actually my family members aren't in movies and TV in the US. One is on Broadway the other is a local newscaster. The third is a TV hostess in Europe. Two of the three are early 40's and have trouble getting work because of their age - one now has trout lips. I'm probably a bit oversensitive to the whole situation and should stay out of the threads!

Although I agree with some of this, I also have noticed that most people on this board don't mind plastic surgery as long as it is done well. What is ridiculous is when someone has their face ruined by overdoing it. For example, why get trout lips when it's possible to use lip fillers more conservatively? Sure, there's huge pressure in the entertainment business to be young, and, barring that, to look young. But some actors are making themselves look unintentionally older--Nicole Kidman, for example.

As far as aging badly goes, I'll admit it makes me feel a little better about myself to know that I am aging well compared to some of these celebs who "can't win," as you put it. 'Cause most of the celebs we write about here are very well known ones who have earned plenty of money and therefore are already "winners" if you want to get technical about it. And we've also had at least one thread recently discussing people who have aged well in the public eye.
