Melanie without makeup

Melanie Griffith looks absolutely shocked—maybe she saw her reflection in the camera lens? For a 51-year-old broad (sexiest time in their lives for most of the bitches that age I know), babe's not looking too bad, but for an over-50 celeb who has more than attempted to reclaim her youth via methods that shall remain unmentionable, Mel should be lookin' more like Madonna than a soccer mom.

'Member when M.G. was the sex siren on the silver screen? Yeah, we barely do, too. But the vamp was once stylish enough to snag super-Spaniard Antonio Banderas, who happens to be almost through his 40s himself and is looking every inch as doable as ever. Sad we can't say the same for Mel. And adding any makeup doesn't usually help, either, just makes her look more like a drag queen.

Meg Ryan, this is you in two years; keep the tinkering at a minimum, OK, hon? We need more Helen Mirrens, not less.
