Wow, they're actually human.

Do let's always remember that women who are not young, pert, perfect and beautifully made up at all times are fair game for ridicule... and do let's teach this to our kids so that this grand tradition can be perpetuated...

There is a good lesson in this though: never, ever wear velvet sweatpants in public, not matter what you look like.
Summarizing, then, we assume that relational information is not subject to a corpus of utterance tokens upon which conformity has been defined by the paired utterance test.

I think more than anything it's a tribute to modern makeup.
I've stopped wearing foundation all together. Just a little concealer and blush.

Yes, and another lesson might be not to feel bad about yourself or depressed because you cannot attain the beauty and physical perfection that we all routinely attribute to celebs.
Because that level of beauty is usually only achieved through artifice. And in fact, THEY don't look that good, either.
Ever notice that "what the hell" is always the right decision?

oh, for fuck's sake, I just re-read this thread. These people are celebrities for crying out loud. They made a career choice to be in the public eye. I'm not going to feel guilty about making fun of them when they get caught going out looking like shit. Besides, Kirstie Alley is laughing all the way to the bank over this whole thing.

i think that's the more important lesson: Ugly happens. Get over it.
That's why I'm still try to understand how someone with hair on their back is considered "grosser" than picking your nose or a dirty toilet on that DNA test.

It was her neck (or lack of) that really made me think of Jabba.

Nor speedos, likewise.
Of course the problem is not the celebrities being hurt per se, it's what we are perpetuating to kids about what's important. And what is still most important about being a girl apparently is being pretty, trim and young. We can't tell kids that's not important, it's what inside that counts, yadda yadda, and then every day manifestly demonstrate that this is in fact bollocks.
