Here are my thoughts: First, I still think Rob Estes might be one of the sexiest men alive, though he plays the same role here that he did on Melrose and Silk Stalkings... he is NOT a versatile actor. Second, the young girls are skeletal and the 'moms' are all botoxed to the point of idiocy. Third, Kelly/Brenda are still arguing about Dylan (Kelly has his illegitimate baby) and they both look ridiculous. SD has the craziest pair of fake boobs ever. JG has had face work done but I think it was a simple eye lift and tons of botox. They are MY AGE for heaven sake! It is sad. The new version of Mrs. Walsh is played by Lori Laughlin (of Full House fame) and I think she looks lovely; the most natural of the bunch. Plus, she gets to make out with Rob... LUCKY DUCK! The Soap Network runs the old reruns of the original Beverly Hills 90120. I find it so funny to watch now... the drama is SO fake. And Tori Spelling is just such as waste. Still, there was something kinda sexy about Brandon, and Emily Valentine (Christine Elise) added lots of flavor to the show.

Some of the pics, like <a href="http://www.awfulplasticsurgery.com/2008/08/29/jennie-garth-looking-slickly-plastic/" rel="nofollow">these</a>, look particularly fake. I love the comment about choosing between the ass and the face, though. Elle magazine recently had an article on the "new" plastic surgery. Old school was to tighten what was sagging. New school is to plump out what's become gaunt. Jasper, the Weisz thing is he said/she said. I think she's a great actress--her work in The Constant Gardener wowed me. The reviews of Mummy 3 were lousy, so I believe and applaud her refusal on that ground. But it's not either/or. If she did adjust the age on her bio, as my friend who went to school with her claims, that makes me thinkboth might be true. Finally, this week's Entertainment Weekly has a bit on the new 90210 and how the young actresses are all way too skinny. BaOT, it makes me feel for those who are raising daughters! I had problems with my weight and eating when I was a teen, and there was nowhere near the pressure and prevalence of unrealistic stereotypes there are now. I don’t think Garth looks natural.

It's a bit depressing!

I think Courtney Cox is quoted as having said that at some point as an actress, you have to choose between your ass and your face (the idea being that if you want a small, firm butt, your face is likely going to look taught and skeletal)... I guess Doherty chose her ass (and yes, I'm sure there's a joke (or 20) to be made there!). I think Jennie Garth seems to be aging well (and I would say naturally), but Doherty looks ROUGH.
