Well, she’s 71 years old now, so things could be a lot worse. ---

The only thing I see wrong with Melanie Griffith is the lips. She just looks 52. I wish I looked that good (minus the odd lips; I’ll keep my thin pale ones). I don’t know about Dixie Carter. Yeah she’s probably had a lot done, but she has those gaunt cheeks like my grandmother had at that age and my grandmother didn’t have any work done. People get old. ---

Also check out the current Heidi Fleiss, currently appearing on “Celebrity Rehab.” While I never thought of her as attractive, she certainly wasn’t bad looking, but she, too, seems to be going the way of The Joker. ---

Dude, if those are implants (and I suspect they are). They’ll be around LONG after Mamie bites the big one (so to speak). We’ll probably see the History Channel do a “Life After People” on those things. Thanks Q ---

Slightly off topic, but I always thought Cameron Diaz, with that big, Cheshire Cat grin of hers, looked somewhat Jokerish. Regardless, I still think she’s pretty hot. ---

Well, better to be “Hatin’ on da Mamie”, than “Honkin’ On The Bobo”. (I KNOW that’s an Aerosmith tune, or something? Right? Well, in Germany, when I grew up, my “bobo” was my ass, and I admit, quite openly, I don’t know what in the HELL made me write this other than “hatin on the Mamie” just came up on what passes for my “radar” these days, ah reckon! ;)) Q ---
