We all get old.

burt

Once I was hot. Now I am not. I'm okay with that.

I would rather be smart and wrinkly than foolish and taut. I would rather spend my time with a smart, wrinkly, bald man than a foolish, vain man molded out of plastic.

Jeepers!

One more stretch like that, and his ears will touch in the back of his head.

You sure you don't want me to get one of those nifty toupes?
(you're still hot, give 3-4 minutes and I'll prove it)

Ew, that was not quite an image I wanted to wake up to this morning.

Me too. People seem to have trouble with that and sometimes ask if I have (exercised 6 times a week, used some product religiously, etc.). The only answer is "No. What have you read this week?"

Since when is Burt Reynolds of Asian ancestry?

[sigh] Oh, for the days of Smokey and the Bandit...

Have I mentioned how much I love reading your thoughts? Wrinkly and smart for me.

Was it Dolly Parton who said she'd had so much work done, if she had another face lift she'd have a beard?

I think he's got something on his chin...

Scary.

Yeah, he looks like a wax statue. Creepy.

I'm sorry AP, but the next time you post something like that, could you please put a big ass warning so I don't scare myself when I see that.

Good God almighty. His nose is so sharp, it could cut paper!

The plastic surgery trend is almost as distressing as the "all women should look like twelve-year-old boys" trend.

Click on the picture and check out the whole freak show. I couldn't stop.... I did manage to restrain myself from clicking on the "Michael Jackson Year-by-year" link, though.

Faye Dunaway actually looks better, more human. The rest of them? Please god, let me stay obscure.

If you haven't had your fill of obvious plastic surgeries, go to awfulplasticsurgey.com

It's like a slow-motion train wreck -- you don't want to watch, but you just can't help yourself.

Funny, but when I saw this picture (and before I read the caption), I thought, "Hunh. Is that Madame Tussaud's, or is there a Hollywood wax museum just for Tinseltown celebs?"

And then I realized that this was a picture of a real, live person. Ook.

Well, maybe not real, but certainly alive.
