Antonio Banderas and wife Melanie Griffith attend the premiere of "El Camino de los Ingleses" at Kinepolis Cinema in Madrid, Spain. When I first saw this picture my mind was flooded with memories of Madonna and her epic rockudrama "Truth Or Dare". The excruciating tale of Madonna on tour: her perceptions of life, love and all things just really stupid. The thing is, at the time it was released I was a sort of closet fan of her songs (not so closet with a chosen few Nash) anyway, when I saw that piece of bum drivel, I could not believe she had sweated it out in an editing suite and found that it was passable.
Madonna furiously stalked Antonio - he gave her a bit of a nudge and a wink but that was about it. Regardless, she basically gave birth to his career in Hollywood which killed any credibility he would have had as an actor. I think its great though that he has stuck by Melanie Griffith besides all her reported emotional highs and lows, drug and alcohol problems and last but not least surgical addiction. I remember standing in line at the supermarket and the headline in one of the mags: "Antonio Forbids Further Surgery!"
This leads me to Awful Plastic Surgery where everyone who's been under the knife or has even flirted with the idea is listed. There is a line in the sand and we all know what it is. Ginger pops up as one of those people who found the line blown away by life's little sand storms...
See, I can understand why Ginger went kicking and screaming into her later years. She was so beautiful in Gilligan's Island so how can anyone blame her for not wanting it to last?
She would crack on to anyone in the show - even the dim witted Gilligan - who would have been impressed by anything - even the skipper in a tutu. Dear Bob Denver, what was life like for you after all that tomfoolery?
Here he is at the Gilligan's Island pokey machine trying his luck with Dawn Wells. Wells decided to stay with the face that she had and probably looks better than anyone. It was Mary-Anne who won the war over who received the most fan mail (apparently most young boys thought that she was the hot one out of Ginger and her good self - while men over the age of about 15 thought it was Ginger but they never really watched the show or wrote fan mail except probably for my Dad who watched it religiously) while making Gilligan's Island and as they say had the last laugh.... In April 2005 Dawn Wells sold her famous Mary Ann ginham blouse and shorts ensemble for $20,700.

Dear Sheila,
You've once again managed to start your post at point A and end up at point B with a seamless segue. How do you do it?
Tina Louise (who I was just thinking of earlier TODAY) is starting to look like a tranny. Poor ol' Gilligan has made his way to that deserted isle in the sky, but not before spending a large part of his life toking on big fat spliffs. Just recently I discovered the Bob Denver (aka Gilligan) website. Sorry I don't have the address...
Hi Sheila,
Nash is right; you’re all over the board, but with your unceasing flawless execution you’ve managed to incorporate everything together with great expertise and create an excellent post.
After reading and looking at your photos, I’m wondering why so many female celebs have an obsessive compulsion to try to maintain their youthful appearance instead of aging gracefully? They spend millions of dollars every year to become “freaks”. You wonder what goes through Melanie Griffith’s mind (or any woman who’s had umpteen surgeries) when she looks at herself in the mirror, don’t you? Do any of them rue the day they started “fooling with Mother Nature”?
I wasn’t particularly fond of “Gilligan’s Island”, although I did know who all the actors and actresses on the show were. I’d no idea it’s got a cult following similar to The Trekkies.
I sincerely wish every person who’s considering plastic surgery would take a good look at the pictures you’ve posted and reevaluate whether trying to recapture their youth is work the risk. I would think not….
Sheila...
You are my soul sista!!!!
I wasjust talking about the same Antonio moment yesterday...
Really...
We had just watched Take the Lead with my daughter and I was oooing and sighing to myself...and thinking of Madonna and the rest...
But as for the surgical addiction...
Really... WHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYY?????
They look like freaks...
Old freaks...
But freaks...
and that is from a few feet away...
and I think Dawn Wells looks GREAT... Mind you the competion is not too tough...
How many are left??
Nash I think I've stumbled on Bob Denver's site! I highly recommend clicking on the 'unseen pilot' - you get to here a real kooky theme song that was never used - thank goodness!
I think about why women in particular freak out (literally) about old age, Miss Litzi. See, I think that they look much worse with the surgery than looking any better. Its a real case of "The Emporer's New Clothes" for me. Somebody out there is telling them they look great (perhaps their plastic surgeon) and they believe it. I think that one can get a false sense of what or who is in the mirror - anorexic sufferers for example see themselves as fat and unworthy - this comes close to that.
Well well Pendulum, its amazing the collective unconscious of bloggers isn' it! As for who is left from Gilligan's Island, I think its just dear ol' Dawn Wells and her coconut pies.
Dear Nash,
Please forgive my error - 'here' to 'hear' the kooky unused theme song.
Just sit right back, Sheila...
Yes, you found the site! All spelling errors are forgiven...
btw, Dawn Wells, Tina Louise and Russell Johnston (The Professor) are the only surviving cast members of Gilligan's Island
I must be completely nuts Nash, ofcourse Tina Louise is still with us! And as for the professor - would it be a shock to hear that I had a slight crush on him when I was about 7?
Hi Sheila,
Yes, I agree with your “Emperor’s New Clothes” hypothesis in respect to women being told they look terrific after their botched plastic surgeries. I’m going to take it one step further; not only are the surgeons probably telling their clients they look “marvelous, darling” but their “best and dearest friends” are no doubt reinforcing how beautiful they look, knowing damn well they look like crap….Cuts down on the competition.
I heard an interview several years ago with Joan Rivers, who is an absolute scream…Anyways, she admitted she was unable to close her eyes for six months due to all the Botox treatments she’d had. Apparently, she learned to doze off with her eyes open. Now, how sick is that??? The last time I saw Joan, she looked liked a department store mannequin with a moving mouth!
No, Sheila, it's not a shock at all to hear you had a crush on the Professor! Though I must say, the actor who played the Professor in the original pilot was a real hottie. I found him on the Bob Denver site when I was listening to that bloody awful theme song (the one they didn't end up using)...
Hi Miss Litzi, I agree it was worth taking my "Emporer's New Clothes" theory one step further. Joan Rivers is still as funny as ever. I wonder if her daughter will catch up and they will look like a kooky pair of sisters? Have you seen them doing the red carpet interviews together? Theyre the best out of the lot!
Hi Nash, I went back to that bloody Bob Denver site and saw the other Professor and felt he wasn't really my type (this was after I transported myself back to when I was 7 and rediscovered what my type was back then). Did you check out the 'Bob Remembers' section? There's this photo of Jim Backus and Natalie Schafer dressed up like Cinderella and Prince Charming. It gave me a creepy flashback to that episode. Seeing them canoodling on screen when I was a child was like watching my Grandparents canoodle - which was never.
Hi Sheila,
Yes, I’ve seen Joan and Melissa Rivers doing their Red Carpet interviews prior to the Academy Awards presentations….they’re both most entertaining. I never thought about it, but perhaps in a few years Melissa will decide she needs a little “nip and tuck” here and there, and like you said, they’ll be more like sisters than mother and daughter! And then they can start selling the “Joan Rivers Jewelry” line together….
Good gravy! WTF did Melanie do to her face? She looks like the joker in Batman! eek!
Hi Shelia,
Have you abandoned us? Have we been cast aside for Christmas shopping? Alright! I hope whatever you’re up to is making you happy and filling your days with pleasure!
Yeah, Sheila, cough up - what's happ'nin?
