"I attempted various types of plastic surgery, minutely but enough to stave off this encroaching middle-aged body. And every time I did, something went wrong. I felt misshapen, just not natural any more. I think it was a big stimulator of my drug abuse."
- Jamie Lee Curtis tells the new issue of More magazine, about her mid-life crisis

Perez needs to get gang raped then burned at the stake. I'm gay and I'd love to piss on this motherfucker!! What a waste of a person.
1st!!
db3nz
Her mother, Janet Leigh, a beautiful, skinny, big bossomed actress from the 50s and 60s, mostly (think Psycho) was a glamor girl til the end…but she suffered from demetia in her final years…oh who can tell who will or why? But Jamie Lee's firm hold on getting older and embracing it is admirable…that having been said, sorry to say she looks like shit…but I still love her…great glint in her eye…she should start striving for those older, charactor actor parts…gone is the body she had in "True Lies" with Arnold…but she'll always be the teenaged screamer from all those Halloween movies for me…loved em!
No JD, you are not first, now go wipe your ass you stupid lonely motherfucker.
Wowzaaaaas, i didnt know she abused drugs…
ILL GANG RAPE PEREZ! hehehehe
FOURTH!!
Damn, that's one ugly bitch! Why do so many old women cut their hair to look like a butch dyke?
fuckkkk youuu alll! PEREZ is the bestttttttt.
suckk on that
Okay … grant you excessive plastic surgery is one thing, but trying to look like an old hag to prove your point is another. Wonder how Janet Paige would have reacted to that ?
I KNEW SHE TRIED IT………..
Why do actresses want to blast Hollywood when they get old. They weren't complaining when they were young and skinny. Not everyone can stay hot forever like Raquel Welch and Diahnne Carroll
Jamie Lee always tries to be forthrightly honest, and self-deprecatingly so. When I run across a quote of hers, I always pay attention. Her kind of illuminating candor is a product of the times she grew up in. I grew up at the same time, and get that she is trying to pass on what she learned about plastic surgery to anyone who may be considering some while wearing rose-colored glasses, but may still be on the fence about it. Good comment, Jamie Lee. Some will have more reasonable expectations because of your comment, and some may now not bother.
the only thing i would suggest is she get rid of the bifocal glasses. you can have unlined ones that work just as if not better. I have them. there are also bifocal contacts. I love her honesty and wit!
I've had Restylane, once, and it never led to drug abuse. So time to stop blaming the little cosmetic tweaks for whatever she did or didn't do. If she wants to be natural, fine. I struggle to look like the hot grannie…and I do:)
i love jamie-lee shes a gorjus person, surgery or no surgery
Gender reassignment surgery went bad???
What's this broads relationship to the Lohans?
Re: karen – You're missing the point, by a few lightyears. Jamie had a HUGE drug problem, she gets addicted easily. Some people do. But she kicked the habit, instead she apparently went overboard with cosmetic surgery. Some people can't stop once they start, be it drugs, shopping, sex, plastic surgery or anything else that makes you feel good
I'm older and wear glasses but I don't necessarily want to look my age if I can help it. It just makes you look older when you do nothing. Nobody needs the glasses where you can see the reading part at the bottom. That's really aging - hasn't she heard of line free bi-focals? Also, a box of Preference by L'Oreal can take more than 10 years off someone with gray hair….but I guess each to his own and she is aging naturally…nothing really wrong with that, but I feel younger if I look younger.
Oh God. I did not even recognize her for a few seconds. She looks a lot like that british actress - Dame something - from Bond movies. Well, I guess it's good she emraced her aging in the end..
did these god damn whining fat people not hear of exercise and proper diet. nuff said. i haven't met one fat person that was fat for any other reason than overeating and lack of exercise. end of story.
I love Jamie Lee. She gives me hope that we can embrace our aging with joy and intelligence! Not there yet, but I want to be like her when I grow up–not like some of these plastic, silicon, old celebrities– happily married for over 20 years, children, and a kick ass, self confident attitude!
Jamie Lee, you are awesome!
Bitch should just dye her hair red and start a new career
lip-synching "Eurythmics" tunes. "Here comes the rain again…"
AND. . . .She's only 50! I'm 62 and I want to look as young as I feel and I refuse to look half dead wearing black all the time. Put some color in it, honey! You got a lot of livin to do yet and you might as well go out looking good, girl!
OK Jamie Lee Curtis is one of THE RUDEST, nastiest people I have EVER met. She is sooooo full of herself and thinks SHE is so great. Her parents are friends of some of my dearest friends and any time I have seen her she is BEYOND arrogant and rude. Like she's famous and who gives a shit. I always liked her in movies until I met her. She should NEVER work in this town again! And she does look horrible and who fucking cares if she's had plastic surgery or how she "feels" about it. Shut up Jamie Lee Curtis the only person who likes hearing you speak is YOURSELF.
LOVE her! She is so open, honest and down to earth.
Clearly booze wasn't her only problem, definite smokers mouth. Years of sun damage also. She should forgo the surgery, and get a first class guy to do a full chemical peel — it would take ten years off her. Next, embrace body stockings, no-one but your husband after a certain age needs to see you naked, good undergarments are a must. Wear everything properly fitted to your body, get your skin in good shape and wear sunscreen religiously, then look fabulous well into your 70's.
Also according to her dad Tony Curtis Jamie has a "secret.." This is widely believed to be that she is of both genders. Many feel it explains why she was unable to have children. I have heard (don't know if its true) that she is used as a textbook case in medical literature.
Would explain why as she is aging she looks more like Uncle James than Aunt Jamie tho. Also might explain life-long substance abuse issues.
Mid-life crisis, a good excuse to abuse with drugs…
she looks alot older than she is. Why the grey hair? Maybe embrace your age, but alittle color doesn't hurt. Gray, well you kind of fade into the background. Looks like besides the drugs, (don't blame the surgery), she either smoked, drank and/or sun bathed alot.
I'm sick of this old-school celeb spawn being so proud of getting old. With the yogurt for her health bowels, no make-up for the photos, no plastic surgery, blah, blah blah. Get old and die already. Michael Meyers should have killed her when he had the chance.
Perez, I don't know when it'll be, but one of these days one of your posts is going to backfire and your ass is gonna get fucked up. People who make a living off of insulting others will eventually reap what they sow. Makes me wonder how often your parents beat and abused you as a child.
Jamie you look fuckin' fabulous!
Jamie Lee Curtis:
It is because of you (and women like you) that I became GAY.
Re: caryy – I'm with you. The honesty from her is great, but honey, put some color on that hair! I think she'd look great then, glasses and all.
Jamie you're beautiful the way you are
She's only 50!? My mother's way older than that and looks younger and she hasn't had ANY work done. Well she does color her hair–maybe that's it.
Good GOD, She looks like 50lbs of shit crammed in a 10lb bag. She looks terrible. Maybe she needs some more plastic surgery.
Hey this is John Stall The Wonderpope here…She looks awful, though she was never a beauty like her mom, come to think of it. She's so sour looking too, must be a vegetarian. This is her "gimmick"–there's money apparently in letting oneself go, like watching a trainwreck this one is. In a word, Yiiicccccccckkkkkk!
Not rocking the bifocals so much!
……I JUST LOVE JAMIE LEE. …..HOWEVER, THE 'SEMI-SKINHEAD' LOOK HAS GOT TO FUCKING GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
……YOU'RE A GIRL, JAMIE. IT JUST CREEPS ME OUT HOW MUCH YOU LOOK LIKE MY GREAT UNCLE DILLON. YOU GOT TO STOP CUTTING IT!!!!
OK so not everybody needs to have plastic surgery. …. but make some effort will you? She looks terrible.
Jamie Lee made a mint off of her BREAST IMPLANTS. Didn't seem to create any problems for her then. Her drug abuse stems from her life in the Hollywood party scene.
am older than Jamie Lee and don't understand her trying to look old except for endorsements for elderly products. Jesus…she just turned only 50..it's like she thinks she's 70?
young 'uns, take your warnng here: sunblock, sunblock, sunblock, and stop baking in the sun right this instant.
Honestly? It's the haircut– worked when she was young it worked (so dod big tits and minis), but NOT NOW. I love her and thinks she is great, but the short butch grey hair? MUST GO. Also, don't fucking project why she adopted. She is a great mum end of story. People adopt for many reasons so LAY OFF ASSHATS. Hair extentions or at least a bit of hair length w/some professional dye (and highlights around the face) and she will look fabulous. AT 50!!
She should just SHUT UP. Little talent, long retired, married well. Go Away already!
Jamie lee Curtis is authentic, outspoken, human and much more beautiful in person than this pic shows. She is a beacon of light and hope in the community. Rock on sister. I love you and all that you stand for today.
I am 53 and i look like a million bucks compared to her. 50 is not fucking old Jamie! You are letting it all go waaaay too soon. You'll really be bitching when you are 70 if you feel this way now.
Jamie Lee is probably the only actress in Hollywood willing to be honest and face aging gracefully. She is a credit to the industry. She looks normal and real compared to the botox/plastic surgery/extension and hairweave fakes that abound. Thanks for being yourself Jamie Lee!
I love Jamie Lee, she has to the best most down to earth personality I've ever witnessed in Hollywood.
leave jamie alone! i admire her sooooo much for not selling out……jamie is probably the most honest and true person in hollywood.
She looks more and more like a man. In fact she looks exactly like Christopher Isherwood.
She is only 51, for Petes sake!
.
Jamie does not look old because of age.
Jamie looks old because she has an old lady haircut!
Jamie looks old because she keeps her hair gray!
Jamie looks old because she wears ugly glasses!
.
Her face is fine, she just needs a makeover, HELLO!
Must I repeat this, she is only 51!!! Rash Manly
.
Some PLEASE get her on the show
"Hows To Look Good Naked"
Carson could easily FIX HER!
Re: douchenozzle –
52 isn't in the grave, but it's not 21 either, ok. Being age appropriate is important, too. I hate seeing women in their 50s trying to look like they're in their 20s.
She looks like she'd be very unpleasant to be around.
Hollywood Royalty is just as ugly as those Nazi English douches across the Pond!
I doubt even Bill Clinton would tap that.
when did she get so old? she looks like my grandma.
omg she's old
If only all the Hollywood asswipes would be as open and honest as her. Yes people, she does not have the physique she had 15 years ago, but, she still looks damn good. Probably a lot better than your fat asses and muffin tops. I always liked her… ever since Halloween.
I don't wanna grow up!
I'm a "Tits 'R' Us" kid!
There's so many tits at "Tits 'R' Us"
That you can play with…
she's a hermaphrodite.
I LOVE JAMIE LEE…BUT I TRULY THINK SHE DRESSES AND LOOKS LIKE A TOTAL LEZZIE. NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT, BUT SHE'S MARRIED TO A MAN…
WTF?
I bet she's very popular with the dyke community. =D
I give her props for trying to not conform but she should at least dye her hair or something, most older woman at least do that.
She used to look so hot. Now she looks like a wrinkled old man. Looks like a nasty smoker too. Yuck.
She is a hermapherdite…and she looks more manly the older she gets. but for Gods sake 51 is not that old! I thought she was like way older.
Re: Obuma – Yeah, I would hit that and even let her swallow. Be sure and read my new book coming out next month, " Crouching Intern, Hidden Cigar."
So what? So Jamie Lee Curtis looks OLD….it happens, you know.
Aging is a natural part of life. A Hollywood woman who wants to be natural….how refreshing.
Remember, he/she who dies with the most toys…STILL DIES…..
YOU LOOK GREAT JAMIE! DON'T GO FOR THE KNIFE. YOU ARE REAL TO US MIDDLE AGE LADIES.
Re: dee – BACK HANDED COMPLIMENT.
1 one the best actresses in the usa,and sensual 2
Re: laure – Shut up and die! You are so jealous because you never got to sleep with Tony. Don't take your anger out on Jamie Bitoch!
Hard to believe at one time she was known as "The Body." I admire her candor but in candor I say, she looks gay. I think she looks like a lesbian. I know she's happily married to Christopher Guest, but still. Her mom was gorgeous in Psycho. And Janet Leigh's boobs were real, not fake, which Jamie Lee inherited. Oh well, good for her for not going plastic.
You look great Jamie and I will forever be a fan. Love your openness and honesty.
Re: JSTWP – I am 5 years older than Jamie and most people think I am my daughter's sister. so what you think? I have been a vegetarian all my adult life. and I am not sour looking. I am alive and vibrant. Educate yourself. You sound stupid.
she looks just like my friends father!yuck! man face!
Re: GJizz – GJizz, Jamie Lee Curtis isn't fat. Jeez, she's talking about plastic surgery, not being overweight. Pay attention.
Why is everyone passing on the "She's a Hermaphrodite…" comments. What…we don't want to know? Isn't this a GOSSIP site?
Bravo Jamie Lee! You are beautiful and you shall grow into an even more beautiful woman just like your Mom! Stay natural, you are an inspiration to all women!
GO Jamie Lee. Set the tone. She's a pioneer out there. Intelligent, clearly looking her age and not trying to be some botoxed, bottle blonde BIMBO. Bravo. Leave her alone, Perez. She's not old. She's 50 and she's fabulous.
I love Jamie Lee Curtis, she is very brave and honest. No one is perfect, we all make mistakes. She admitted to her mistakes and wants women to accept their bodies and love themselves. We love you, Jamie Lee, you make us all feel as beautiful as you are! Thank you, Auntie B
Re: oldfa –
I don't know about that No. 29. She looked all girl in "True Lies" and then some. I think maybe this is what is referred to as an "urban legend".
She's 49, birthday is November 22, 1958. Yep, she looks pretty old for 49. If she went for at least some work, she could look really nice.
Umm…hello? Didn't she used to be a "sheman" before all of that "minute" plastic surgery? I think the doctors hopefully did her justice. She needs to stop bitchin, at least now she looks somewhat normal down there…right? The glass is half full Jamie!
FROM GRANDVIEW USA TO HALLOWEEN TO PERFECT TO TRUE LIES SHE WAS THE BOMB BACK IN THE DAY.SHES EMBRACING "GETTING OLD" GOOD FOR HER!!! AT LEAST SHES NOT TRYING AND FAILING TO LOOK YOUNG LIKE PRISCILLA PRESLEY OR JOAN RIVERS AYE!!!
If Jamie Lee is a woman than I'm Martian.
what is with the hate on perez why be here wasting everones time when your not even a fan .if you hate perez go start a hate perez site or blog then maybe you'll get noticed because i doubt he cares about what you say or botheres to read it when he has a life and is way to busy for someone as small as you on lifes scale.
She looks her age. She doesn't look like she's trying too hard, or very hard at all for that matter, but that is totally her business not ours. I like her look because it is NOT Hollywood. She could make minor changes, but why should we care? I'm 45 and I won't wear lined bifocals, I paid a bit extra for the lineless ones. The haircut and color aren't very flattering, but if she likes it so what! She is a normal person in a sea of Hollywood nut cases. (Our host as a prime example)
Jamie dear- just wear some make up- and get rid of the dyke do.
You ain't that old. If Joan Collins can still be glamourous at 75- there's hope for you at 51.
Well, Perez.. Fat Boy … she is older than you but looks 100 % better than you. This story is 1 month old, the other stories are a couple of days old. What, too busy sucking cock to tend to your site? It is over fat boy, it is over, just like your sucky "clothing line."
Nobody cares what she thinks.
Re: oldfa –
There is a name for this 'condition'. JLC maybe a Kleinfelter Male. These men appear as gorgeous females, with full breasts, narrow hips and slim thighs. Taller than the average woman. On the inside, they may have a 'blind pouch' as a vagina, an overly large clitoris, maybe undescented testes, too.
SHe doesn't look bad- she only looks "bad" if you think that looking like a normal, quite middle aged, woman is "bad". She takes great care of herself. You CANNOT look 25 when you are 45 or 55 or 65. NO ONE does. And why should they? You only get ONE life and to waste it trying constantly to look younger is ridiculous. She is still adorable - impish and clever. Lots of young looking women are vain and spend too much time worrying about their looks rather than having fun….that is a waste of your life. BTW
She is awesome- she always tells the truth- she is a real person who lives a real life
She's looking for an excuse to give up and turn old! Exercise, eat right, stay out of the sun, and enjoy the next 40 years you have on earth:)
The problem is not with older people getting plastic surgery to maintain the look they had in their 20s or 30s (or 40s).
.
The problem is that 30 years old actresses are getting work done which distorts their face and makes them look like freaks.
.
That is not "pretty". Only in LA it is considered "cool".
However, a woman who has 3 nose jobs, inflated lips and other stretching and pumping looks weird and unnatural.
CASE IN POINT:
Jessica Beil, Angelina Jolie.
Oh, my GOD! Laurie Strode looks AWFUL!!!
HOLY CHRYST!!! THE OLDER SHE GETS THE MORE SHE LOOKS LIKE JANET RENO! AAARRRGH!
