I realize that aging isn’t fun for anyone and aging in front of millions of people (in HD!!) when you’re valued mostly for your looks must be absolutely hellish. Still, you’d think that the biggest and most beautiful movie star in the world would be able to resist the temptation to over-Botox. Sigh.
Yes, I’m talking about Angelina Jolie, and yes, I believe Little Miss Above-It-All had a year's supply of Botox crammed into her absolutely frozen forehead last night. Her alien beauty always gives her a slightly inhuman appearance, but last night she looked like a less animated version of her Madame Tussauds wax statue. (We need a whole separate post to discuss her arms!!).
And Ange wasn’t the only one who had clearly landed on the wrong side of Lady Botox. As always, Nicole Kidman was giving us her very best “woman trapped in block of ice” impression, which was not at all surprising, but still perplexing (why has no one set her straight?).
I was particularly disappointed to see that my Good Wife girlfriend Julianna Margulies has also fallen victim. I've always admired her for looking like a woman (and not a teenager), but last night she looked like she got stuck in a wind tunnel and then her face just stayed like that.
There was also Elle Macpherson, who is almost 50 years old, and certainly beautiful, but when your forehead doesn't move, it just looks wrong. And trashy. There was also something strange going on with her lips, which didn't help matters.
Of course, the funny part is that these are only the worst offenders. I’d say at least 75 per cent of last night’s Globes attendees had indulged in a little pre-ceremony needling, and it’s not just the ladies either (ahem, Kenneth Branagh). I’m not even going to get into the ethical debate, but from a purely aesthetic standpoint, frozen faces are becoming an epidemic. I mean, seriously — when Angelina Jolie feels like she needs to make her face better, what hope is there for the rest of us!!??
