Demi Moore is
speaking out
about Hollywood's not so well-kept dirty secret: when women hit 40 they simply disappear from the silver screen. Well, Demi's not keeping quiet. And despite the fact that she looks 30, she hasn't had many film offers since her comeback role in Charlie's Angels 3 in which she easily upstaged Cameron Diaz in a bikini.
"It's been a challenging few years, being the age I am. Almost to the point where I felt like, well, they don't know what to do with me. I am not 20. Not 30," she revealed to Red magazine. "There aren't that many good roles for women over 40. A lot of them don't have much substance, other than being someone's mother or wife."
Demi's frustration with Hollywood's attitudes toward "women of a certain age" was evident throughout her interview with the publication. "If we are told we are not valuable once we hit 30, it is a problem," she said. "We all have more to give ... We can't just wait for something to happen. We have to say, 'I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more.'"
It's so true. When Helen Mirren won an Oscar all any journalist could talk about was how great she looked....for her age. Her win was celebrated because it -- and her career -- is so unusual.
And as for how she looks so fabulous, The Daily Mail (U.K.) claims
that Demi has spent over £226k on plastic surgery -- that works out to about $453,446.49. The editors gleefully list every procedure they claim she's had and the prices.
After a string of flops in the 1990s, she took a career break, during which time she met her current husband, 29-year-old Ashton Kutcher.
Miss Moore then returned to the screen in 2003's Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, emerging from the sea in a skimpy bikini which showed off the results of a cosmetic surgery spending spree.
As well as breast implants, collagen injections and liposuction on her hips, thighs and stomach, she had a £5,000 procedure to lift the sagging skin on her knees.
She also employed an army of advisers - including a nutritionist, personal trainer, yoga teacher and kick-boxing coach.
Demi looks amazing. In fact, looks better than 90% of the 25-year old starlets. Did she really have close to half a million dollars worth of surgery? That seems excessive to us. We think much of the upkeep cost comes from salaries for personal chefs and trainers. But hey, that's her business -- to look good. And act, of course. Demi is known for her unstoppable energy and work ethic. Maybe she could be convinced to have a little chat with Britney.
