What's the matter Sharon? Nobody wants to see you nekid now?

Sharon Stone was one HOT MAMMA in Total Recall.

Almost two hundred posts and not one person has noted that---

#1 THE YOUNG ACTRESSES ARE CHEAPER !!! THEY WON'T COMMAND THE SALARIES THAT ESTABLISHED BIG NAME HOLLYWEIRD BIMBOS MIGHT DEMAND.

#2 How many decisions on who to cast in various films and TV shows are made by homosexual executives? Why are most actresses built like junior high age boys, hmmm?

"The man walks in and looks right at my tits and I saw in his face that there was no way I was going to get the part. And yet in the real world there is no way I would give this guy the time of day."

100% purebred hate. She rails about being used as a sex object and then in the very next breath shows herself to be at least as shallow as the agent she's railing against, if not more so.

That any of these subhuman scum were allowed to have movie careers for so much as a single day makes me question the existence of God.

In acting, one way to draw an audience to the theatre is to feature attractive young women in a film..........If an actress no longer has the looks to draw an audience, another actress should be cast in her place.

Yes, that's one way. The other is for the audience to be thinking ABOVE the waist. Obviously, that concept is lost on you.

[MadelineZapeezda]

Eeeeeewwwww..........you call her a babe?????I think she stretched herself too tight for Antonio. I think her Mom Tippi is much prettier

[Timesink]

Hollyweird is about looks only, these have all lost theirs and Whoopie never had any to begin with!

And yet Whoopi's got so much steady work she can hardly even keep up with all the offers! To see her quoted in this article at all is laughable.

Allen brings a comic talent, and an able writing talent, to the table

He also brings a modicum of borderline incest to said table.

[Cinnamon Girl]

Ladies, ummmmmmmm.... it's a BUSINESS.

It just might be that in the rule of nature when they were young and attractive and ready to flop on the couch for a role the producers and directors put up with their egos, their crap and their bitching.

If they DO "flop on the couch" to get a role, what does that say about they men the "flop" for? Seems they are not beyond reproach as well, right?

Jodie Foster is over 40 and so are Michelle Phiffer and Sissy Spacick. Good actresses find work.

How old is Merle Streep? I would think she could have good roles. Cher did well enough after 40 --- and is Demi Moore still with the young guy? I'm sure her career isn't hurting.

Huh? What does that have to do with the topic at hand? You brought the guy's name up, not me. All I did was explain why he has had whatever success he's had in the industry. Allen career is destroyed, and rightly so, because of the scandal, but his triumphs (e.g., Annie Hall, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Hannah and Her Sisters) still testify to both his comic and writing talent.

She admits that it goes both ways...

It's the revenge of the nerds syndrome, all these guys couldn't get a girlfriend in high school. They are smart but they have no social skills; suddenly they are running studios in a position of power.

Paybacks are a bitch. Justice is served.

We're here
We're Nerds
Get used to us
You work for us

I was just answering your post.
Allen's career is not destroyed, it's alive and well.

Ain't that the truth. Most of them have no hips -- out them in a pair of tight jeans and they look like boys from the back.... Blech! Straight men prefer earth-goddesses with breeder hips, not she-males.

[Rytwyng]

Most of them have no hips -- out them in a pair That should have been PUT them.....

I'm with you on Diane Keaton. I thought she was hotter than her daughter in that picture. Personally, I'm pretty appalled by the shallowness of a lot of these posts, slamming women over 40 as "hags." I thought Freepers had a bit more depth and better taste.

I'm 46 myself, and I don't drool over Twinkies like Britney Spears. Sex appeal is more than looks, and most women don't even begin to get interesting to me until they're at least 30 and have become more worldly, experienced and womanly. Come on, do you seriously think Bo Derek was sexier when she was a young, blank-faced mannequin than she is now? When I see Hugh Hefner (perfectly described by a recent Lucianne.com poster as "Dorian Gray without the picture") with his harem of identical 20-year-old Barbie dolls, I feel about as sick as I would seeing a 40-year-old man hitting on a 7-year-old girl. Bleah!

Allen's career is not destroyed, it's alive and well.

When you fall from the heights of respect and near worship Allen enjoyed before the scandal to the disregard he gets lately, and when you go from Crimes and Misdeanors to whatever the latest dreck he directed was, you have a destroyed career.

Allen will never again wield the clout he once had. It is no longer a coveted cachet among so-called serious actors to appear in his films. His career is destroyed.

I think it's only a certain shallow type of Hollywood bimbo being slammed as hags --- because inside that's all they ever were. Stars like Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Kathryn Hepburn, Merle Streep, Sophia Loren and others don't suffer the same fate because there was a little more to them than sex appeal and silicone. The women being discussed used their bodies --- readily removed their clothes for their acting roles --- now they can't figure out what's wrong. Sex appeal was all they ever had and much of that was fake.
