Jamie Lee Curtis Talks To More About Growing Old In Hollywood

Since she appeared "topless" (i.e. appearing to be topless but actually wearing a strapless bra and submerged in water) in AARP Magazine, Jamie Lee Curtis has become something of a poster woman for aging gracefully. She went on Oprah to discuss her theories on life and love after the AARP cover caused something of a scandal. Now she's on the cover of More, and inside she expounds further on her personal philosophies. Some of her musings are sort of severe and annoyingly new agey (she only wears black and white now; she speaks "recovery") but what really struck me was her take on growing old in a Hollywood context. As the daughter of two stars who were famous for the majority of their lives, Jamie has a unique perspective on aging in the public eye. "I have watched, my whole life, people age and become buffoons," Jamie Lee tells More. "When you crest in your thirties or forties and then you don't pull out of the public eye, you become a caricature. You have to have grace and dignity and gratitude, and walk away kind of slowly, like you're walking away from a bear. I'm going to go now, bear. Don't kill me, don't rip my fucking face off." More »

Grannies Convicted Of Murdering Homeless Men For Insurance Cash

Lately we've been bemoaning the state of the nation's ultra violent youth, but teens aren't the only ones plaguing society. Meet Hollywood's "black widows", Helen Golay, 77, and Olga Rutterschmidt, 75. Yesterday, Golay, the big-haired broad on the left, was convicted of killing two homeless men —Kenneth McDavid, 50, and Paul Vados, 73— for $2.8 million in life insurance. (Rutterschmidt has been slammed with conspiracy to kill, reports the L.A. Times.) As has been widely reported, Golay and Rutterschmidt would approach homeless men and offer them food, money and friendship. Then they'd start needling them for personal information — their ages, their Social Security numbers, and, after winning their trust, would take out accidental death life insurance policies on the men, claiming to be their cousins or fiancées. The final blow: Golay and Rutterschmidt would hit the homeless men with Golay's Volvo and make it look like a hit and run. More »

Oprah: Jamie Lee Curtis Cuts The Crap About Women And Aging

Jamie Lee Curtis was on Oprah yesterday to discuss aging and being the naked cover girl of the current issue of baby-boomer magazine AARP. Curtis says she's over fighting the aging process — she openly admits to the plastic surgery she's had in the past — saying it's futile, and that once she dropped all the bullshit nonsense about looking and dressing the part, she finally felt free. It sounds a little self-help-y, but it was also kinda inspiring to hear someone famous go on such a huge show as Oprah and talk about her disdain for the fashion and advertising industries, because of what they do to women's minds. Clip above.
