I love her and i think she has extraordinary beauty! 2 of my fave movies are "Must Love Dogs" and "Under The Tuscan Sun". I hope i age that well, although my mother seems to be aging very well so i have a 50% chance there, i just hope i get her 50%! on another note, i'm not against woman trying to better there appearance, your friend for example, if i had leathery skin, i most def. would do some improvements. -J

Although I tend to complain about my aging self, I have to say, nothing looks more beautiful than a woman who has accepted her age. A 50 year old is not meant to look like a twenty year old unless you have very lucky genes. A perfect example of someone who is aging beautifully and gracefully would be Diane Lane, as seen below. This woman is gorgeous! I think that the only maintenance that women should keep up to remain looking young is sunblock. Lots of it. I vowed not tan my skin a while ago when I bumped into an old friend of mine who is older than me by only 3 weeks and looked like she could pass as my mother due to her leathery and wrinkly face. Poor girl.
And yes, Ju, I know you're gonna come down on me for only using baby products on my face but I have incorporated a sunblock as well. A baby sunblock. I'm big on very basic and mild skincare like Johnson & Johnson. They are not too harsh especially for very sensitive skin. Waterbabies Sunblock with SPF 50 is as strong as you can get. It's been working for me. Granted, I am bone white now....but pale is the new tan! -C
Diane Lane, age 43
wow, grandmas and attics, i tell ya!

Woman finds 139-year-old baseball card in box of antiques
By 'Duk
The strange story goes like this: Last summer, Bernice Gallego pulled an old baseball card from a box of antiques. She figured it might be worth something to someone, so she listed it on eBay.
The starting bid was $10.
But after getting a flurry of inquiries about whether the card was authentic or not, Gallego started to suspect she was holding something a little more valuable and immediately ended the auction.
Turns out her hunch was correct. She did have something more valuable. The card she found was made in 1869 and featured the "Red Stocking B.B. Club of Cincinnati," the sport's first professional team. It's considered one of the first baseball cards ever produced and its actual value could be worth more than $100,000 when she puts it back on eBay (with a higher starting price, of course).
Of course, the news that she had found a rare piece of early baseball history came as a shock to the 72-year-old Fresno, Calif., resident who said she's never been to a baseball game. Her tale, from unwitting discovery to learning about the card's history, is wonderfully captured by our old pal Mike Osegueda of the Fresno Bee.
From the Fresno Bee:
"When I came to meet her and she took it out of a sandwich Baggie and she was smoking a cigarette, I almost fainted," (collector Rick) Mirigian says.
"They've uncovered a piece of history that few people will ever be able to imagine or comprehend. And it comes out of Fresno," he says. "That card is history. It's like unearthing a Mona Lisa or a Picasso."
Gallego said she doesn't know exactly where the box of antiques came from since she and her husband are collectors and frequently buy lots from different estates around California. She does have a history of being lucky, though, having once won $250,000 on a slot machine.
(And with that, I'm off to see what I can find in my basement.)
Man, i wish i had a grandma w/ a attic! Well you see girls, that's why i don't only go to thrift shops for antique furniture but because you never know what grandma might wanna give up some valuable stuff. And No cindy, i know i'm not a huge baseball fan but even i would know that a card dating back to the time before the sun might just be worth something! -J

Lisa Rinna arrives at the P.S. Arts "Express Yourself 2008" at Barker Hanger on November 16, 2008 in Santa Monica, CA.Us Magazine Lisa Rinna says she has one major plastic surgery regret."My cheeks. I had Juvederm put in my cheeks. That's what I overdid -- big time," Rinna, 45, tells the Web site momlogic.com in a new interview."I tried it because my girlfriends did it," she says. "I thought, 'I'll do it! I saw a photo and I was like, 'Oh Jesus. That's no good. That's NOT good.'"When you change your face, you don't look like yourself," she goes on. "Looking fresher is one thing. I look like a freak! I always said I wouldn't change my face, but I did it."I can't not be honest about it. I'd look like a fool. It's so obvious," she goes on. "But when this happened, I realized I couldn't hide it."Although she still likes Botox ("it doesn't change the shape of my face," she says), she has learned she doesn't need so much surgery."You get older and insecure and you think you need it, and you don't," she says. "I learned less is more. Keep your skin good."More news from Usmagazine.com

I coulda told ya that lisa! I mean i get it, when gravity starts pounding you to the ground, a lil something something doesn't hurt, but when you feel the need to put what are 2 mini ass cheeks on your face i dunno bout you ladies but that's where i draw the line! I myself like to tell my mom that when i'm 50 me and my sis are gonna go down to the Dominican Rep. to get booby jobs done. i told her mine are gonna be sooooo big im gonna use them as a chin rest, but i just do that to get that disapproval look she's so good at. its funny, but i don't think i'll ever go through w/ it. me and pain don't hang in the same crowd if you know what i mean! But hey, to Lisa's defense she is still quite beautiful, just that now you can tell she's had something done. And atleast she came foward instead of the whole "no i'm just aging this way" usual bullcrap! What say you ladies" plastic surgeries " yeay or neay"-J

Ben Barnes, currently on screens as Prince Caspian, will lay down his sword after being cast to play Oscar Wilde's iconic character Dorian Gray in an adaptation of the author's novel, "The Picture of Dorian Gray."Producer Barnaby Thompson and director Oliver Parker, who previously teamed to make "An Ideal Husband" and "The Importance of Being Earnest" and most recently co-directed "St. Trinian's" will make "Dorian Gray" at the end of July this year.Thompson will produce through his Fragile Films label, now owned by Ealing Studios, with Parker helming. Producer and director Thompson said Parker is planning to make a visceral, dark horror story and says the themes of stardom are as relevant as ever. More Ben Barnes is always good. P.S. Prince Caspian is fucking amazing, if you haven't seen it yet, GO NOW.
Oh yeah he effing is! Oh Ben( i wanna play w/ your narnias) Barnes, your soooo lovely! By the way just in case the pic didn't post up w/ the article, in it he had a martini in front of him and he had what i think was a olive in his hand....shit! i wish i was that olive! hehehe -J

Leave it to me to be the only one who knows who Dorian Grey is...sheesh. Cynthia, he is the character in the movie extraordinary gentleman, the one who made a deal w/ the devil to keep his beauty and youth. He has a portrait that ages while he does not. We where just talking about it about a week ago...yes i know...ADD. For those who don't know, i'll let you in on the inside joke. My beautiful but aging friend constantly explains her Alzheimer's by blaming it on ADD.
AH Mayri, your such a romantic! And no thanks needed Mayri dolls, i wouldn't mind getting bitten at 1st sight myself! lol-J

Can't say I've heard of it. All I can say about Ben drives-my-friend-July-crazy Barnes, is that I'm relieved that he will not be playing Jacob in New Moon. No offense, he's not a bad looking lad, but he's certainly not a Jacob either. Tanning wouldn't have even done the trick. A vampire....perhaps, but not a pumped up wolf/native bodybuilder.
As for my other half - awh, you're very welcomed Mayri-loo. I knew you'd love the books given your very perceptive and imaginative nature. -C
Well, Well, Well....

I read it, lol. I've told you he only leaves me brain numb when he plays Eduardo. But he sure has his priorities straight. He knows where he has to shake his money maker! and speaking of which, you wont get to see that till flick 4, so heres praying movie 2 brakes( and wets) the box office, so the series can continue!
PS: Oh Ben( touch me where the sun don't shine) Barnes, can't wait to see you play the role of Dorian Grey. Dammit, Europe always gets the best films 1st! You know all joking aside, he really is a good actor( yes i was able to look past his gorgeous face to notice). Is it me or is Dorian Grey a all over hot name!-J

From E! Online:
Robert Pattinson Has a Billion Reasons to Bail

The Twilight megahunk has dropped out of Parts Per Billion, the independent film he was supposed to begin shooting in Los Angeles this month, to ready himself for round two as vampiric heartthrob Edward Cullen.
"Unfortunately, the prep time and production schedule on New Moon haven't left enough time for Robert to work on Parts Per Billion in the first quarter of this year," the star's agent, Nicholas Frenkel, told MTV.
No word yet on who will fill the heartthrob's shoes on the indie flick, produced by and starring Rosario Dawson. Pattinson was supposed to have some hot and heavy love scenes with actress Olivia Thirlby (Juno), but fans may have to wait for that heat until the fourth Twilight film. Until then, though, the actor has Little Ashes and How to Be coming down the pipeline.
Phew!
Ok, so I didn't actually read what the article said....just look at him! -C
So this is my take...

...On the whole Twilight saga. I have got to say that I was not anticipating how obsessed I would become from reading the Twilight series. Edward & Bella had me at hello...! Or better said, at First Sight (the first Chapter of Twilight). Many, Many Thank You's go to my two better half's Cindo and Jujubee, to whom I owe all the gratitude in the world for bullying me (not an easy thing) into reading all 4 books. I find that my favorite characters are Edward, Jacob, Alice, Carlisle and Emmett. I love Edward's timeless romanticism, Jacob's feisty nature, Alice's bunt honesty, Carlisle's...well, he's just fine as hell! and Emmett's funny persona. I really can't wait until the movie for "New Moon" finally comes out.
Before I forget to mention it, I really do hope Stephenie Meyer gets over her "G" rating when it comes to depicting the love scenes between Edward and Bella in her writing. I mean it's like it goes from zero to sixty in seconds and then back to zero in the blink of an eye. I swear I get mental whiplash! But other than that I can't complain. I've fallen in love with Edward and Bella's powerful love story and secretly wish for a timeless romance myself. LOL...Here's to being hopeful! -M
