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."

Why Is Mariah So Shady?

  • Did Mariah Carey have an eye job or something? She won't walk down the red carpet without her sunglasses. If so, it's probably not her first procedure; her nose and boobs seem to have changed in the past few years. [Page Six]
  • Also: Mariah's been wearing a giant ring that gossipers want you to think is engagement-esque. And she's been hanging with Nick Cannon. [People]
  • David Bowie and Iman's 7-year-old daughter, Alexandria, listens to Hilary Duff songs, at which point "David just leaves the room," Iman says. "He thinks she should be listening to underground music." [ONTD]

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.

Jamie Lee Curtis Would Like Us All To Have A Great Weekend

"All of a sudden I realized I exist," Jamie Lee Curtis tells Jeanne Marie Laskas in July's Ladies Home Journal. (No, we don't usually read it, as much as we are totes obsessed with "Can This Marriage Be Saved" but the publicist sent us a nice file of it over the internet and we're searching for crap to post so we can resume drinking.) Well, bonerkiller of bonerkillers, Jamie Lee!
How many of us are killing ourselves every day? Who here has high blood pressure and is still eating salt and french fries? Who has been told that her liver is enlarged and unless she stops drinking she's gonna end up with liver disease and/or need a liver transplant and/or die? We create senseless acts of violence against ourselves daily. And we live in this amnesia that we're not. If I was a doctor sitting with a woman who says, 'Oh yes, I smoke.' You do? Really? Then I don't want you as a patient..
