20 minutes in, I realized that this was a Jamie Lee lovefest with Jamie Lee leading the cheering section.

When Oprah can't get a word in, it's time to sit back and enjoy the couch for a sec.

I want Jamie Lee Curtis as my mom. NOW.

Can't watch this, but I ADORE this woman. And my BF thinks she hot, which makes me love him even more.

She's lucky, though. She's tall (I have a theory that tall women have an easier time with their bodies aging) and can rock a short haircut like it's nobody's business.

Jamie Lee is one sexy motherfucker. This is someone to aspire to be. Not Oprah, who seems surprised and confused by the idea of not being interested in clothing.

* thinks she IS

And then she sent Oprah 36 pairs of Louboutins.

I fell so hard in love with her last night. I wish she were my mom. I love that she allows her gray hair to show, that she wears what she feels like, and that she gave a big ol unapologetic "fuck you" to the fashion industry.

I want to be her, Meryl Streep, or my aunt when I grow up.

And she's the main reason I will never disavow my love of the Freaky Friday remake, though Linds is pretty great in it too.

Oh - and I loved when she mentioned that her husband was the six fingered man from The Princess Bride. Hilarious.

@petuniacat: Is she seriously married to him?

I was thinking about that movie in the shower the other morning. I had the score in my head.

Incognegro just fell a lil more in love with her...

@misssgolightly: She wrote a great piece for Huffington Post back when Paris Hilton got sent to jail, it was basically a fuck you to the mothers of these girls for raising them so poorly. I fell in love even harder after reading that, and this makes it even better.

She makes me want to let my grey grow out. I love her so much, I am getting misty. She talks such good sense. Now if only I could believe it.

Who knew she was real? She's killer dude! Just get on with your life and don't apologize - more people in Hollyweird need to be like that. Please!

I have ALWAYS loved her - who else would have appeared in A Fish Called Wanda with a big ol' depilatory cream moustache? And where's that terrific picture she posed for wearing bike shorts and a sports bra with her whole self just kind of hanging out?

I love her. I think she is the downright coolest.

That is the essential fabulousness about growing older--the older you get, the more introspective you can afford to be. It's the power of age and wisdom. Even still, she is a very beautiful woman without really trying hard.

the poor widdle women's minds being shaped by magazines.

I loved her in "My Girl!"

Also, in "My Girl 2"

I saw this yesterday when I was in my dentist's waiting room. The first thought that came to my mind was, "But you have beautiful people genes! You are Jamie Leigh Fucking Curtis!" And then I felt bad because I think she's doing a good thing by trying to encourage women to just accept themselves for who they are. But geesh. It's easy to say, "I'm giving up plastic surgery!" when you look like she does.

Love love love her. I would die to hang out with her family. I mean, she's married to Christopher Guest!

Isn't it nice when people live up to your expectations?

Why are stars always apologising about what they did? I smell guilt.

@Archetype: Yes! She is married to Sir Christopher Guest, creator of great movies and the 6 fingered man.

@Archetype: my BF is in love with her, too. if he heard her comment about never making "trading places," he's be PISSED. and offended.

Jamie Lee Curtis: Proponent of natural aging and poop yogurt.

How can you not love her??

@moonagirl: really??? How did I not know that and why did I assume that Christopher Guest was gay? Yowza, that's my kind of power couple!

She's awesome. Why isn't she in movies anymore?

Love that she's rocking the gray hair and looking fabulous and the stealth marriage to Chris Guest. I hope their kids are awesome and funny and full of (full of!) self-esteem.

Jamie has been on this for years- its very admirable considering that her mother was a sexpot and her dad made a career from his looks. have you seen his face? he has done some terrible things.

and damn it, does she look cute! I adore her hair.

This made me fall in love with her all over again.

I wish my mom was like her. My mother spends two hours getting ready each morning and can't understand why I don't wear eyeliner.

Didn't Jamie Lee appear in a women's mag (can't recall which) a few years back wearing only her underwear, with the photo running completely unretouched? I mean, she's Jamie Lee Curtis so genetics are on her side but that won me over to the Jamie Lee 4EVA club. That and Freaky Friday.

Can we please have more women willing to be themselves and call bullshit on anybody who doesn't accept them for who they are?

I love her and honestly I wish more women would listen to her sage advice. Fashion is fluff. Sometimes it's a nice diversion, but I think it's taken over so many people's lives. Also: her rack in Trading Places is magnificent.

@myrtlebeachbum: Seriously. She just kept talking and talking and talking and talking. About herself mainly. And you could tell she had said it all before.

I like her still, but shit she is an annoying talk show guest.

I'm 45. I'm so happy that I can look at women like Jamie Curtis, like Helen Mirren, like Frances MacDormand, and feel entirely vindicated, validated and effing delighted with growing older.

And how does her new yogurt ad campaign fit in with her hatred for advertising? Sorry, just had to mention it. I will shut up and crawl back under the rock under which the cynics hide.

Also, Jamie should have a little chat with her dad about what aging looks like. He's terrifyingly plastic!

I have always thought of her as a fine actress and a no-nonsense person. This just goes to prove my assertions. She goes in the pantheon of Jezebel along with Helen Mirren.

@hannelore: Yeah. I'm trying to change my avatar to that photo. Hopefully I can do it successfully.

I need to save this clip, and I need to watch it every damn day FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
Not only is the the total bomb, she is sober.

@washionfore: Apparently, she saw him on the cover of Rolling Stone right after "This is Spinal Tap" and asked him out. So they've been together over 25 years.

@sayanything: Maybe she does feel guilty. It's a weird role to be in, very pressured to look a certain way, but also aware of the pressure your very existence puts on the rest of the mere mortals.

I kind of agree with the fact that this does have a certain "self-help-y" flavour, but I think sometimes that's how passion and sincerity can come off. She is awesome. I love Jamie Lee and actually does remind me of my mum a whole lot, grey hair and all. And if her husband will always be the six-fingered count, to me, she will always be Wanda.

off topic: but i find comments on her genes interesting. if i recall correctly from high school genetics class, she has one of the genetic disorders giving her three sex chromosomes, so that genotypically she is XXY, rather than XX.

just been on my mind lately with the "pregnant man" posts and discussions.

If I can look that amazing and be that smart, I will never fight aging either!

@Trixie from Toronto: That's the hardest part -- actually believing it. It's really the truth, but we're taught to believe differently by the images we get bombarded with.
