SHE'S wowed the world for two decades - but even a fashion icon can have an off day.
And when Madonna arrived in Paris yesterday looking decidedly less than glamorous, fears were raised that her relentless fitness regime may be taking its toll on her looks. The 47-year-old's skin was stretched across razor-sharp cheekbones and her chin was puckered as she turned up for a Gaultier fashion show.
A fellow guest said: "Madonna usually looks so groomed. It was a bit of a shock to see her looking so ropey."
The mum-of-two exercises at least three hours a day, sometimes runs 10-miles, and eats mainly wholegrains and vegetables.
Who has that kind of free time? Three hours?? I'm lucky if I can get in 30 minutes a few times a week.
Oh, that's my plan. ;-)
Yes, but you'll look one heck of a lot better when you're her age. ;-)
Here's to hoping! LOL!
I've never been a fan of hers, but she doesn't look well does she?
Yoko called, she wants her sunglasses back.
Everyone grows old, Madonna -- it's inEvitable...
Please tell me that is really Mick Jagger.
No woman could be THAT hideous!
(even behind dark glasses)
Now, Now
You help 100 guys on a 2 hour plane ride join the mile high club and you'd look like hell, too.
Celebrities. If you had "people" shopping for you, taking care of your kids, washing your clothes, cooking your meals, etc etc you would have a lot more free time.
You know, after looking at her picture I'm glad I don't have that kind of time! LOL
I accidentally saw her new video and she looks not very nice in it either.
Kinda strange, may just be a bad photo; I kinda think Italian women age pretty well up, Sophia Loren still looks delicious.
The jpeg illustrates the illusion that makeup and hair create for pop culture.
Are you certain that all fifty year olds are horrible to look at, i.e. ugos? What a sexist-agist assumption to make if so.
It's not a question of looking horrible. Its a question of recognizing that people age. Madonna seems to think she won't.
Sounds like she's exercising and running too much so she looks gaunt like she's wasting away: "The mum-of-two exercises at least three hours a day, sometimes runs 10-miles, and eats mainly whole grains and vegetables."
IMO, she's addicted to exercise/running and it's starting to show. That kind of pace was bound to catch up with her. Madonna, walk don't run.
Don't post "touch" and "Susan Estrich" in the same line please.
