Nick Nolte, 2002
No one looks good in a mug shot, but Nick Nolte took "mug" to whole new heights. Throw in the fact that in the late '70s, as Tom in "Rich Man, Poor Man" and Phillip in "North Dallas Forty," Nick really knew how to rock a 'stache, and it hurts even more. He just might be our most-fallen male celeb.

Musicrazylove said "Angelina is the home wrecker when Brad and Jen were married Angelina did everything to break the marriage off just to get him During Mr. And Mrs. Smith she went to the set and try to get him to date her and it work so if any one is guilty it is Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Not Jen"

On Bitter Celebrity Custody Battles...Alpha said "To Cybersleuth. What makes Denise Richards any better than Charlie Sheen??? She didn't go to college either. And two minutes after her good friend separated from her husband Denise started dating him. (Bon Jovi) She has obvioulsy made some really far out remarks to slam Sheen of which many could never be proven. She lost her temper at some photographers and threw laptops off a balcony at a theater. They hit two women below. One in her 80's and one in her 90's. Fortunately they were not harmed. There are two sides to every story. "

On Bitter Celebrity Custody Battles...Alpha said "What on earth is Cybersleuth talking about??? Charlie Sheen has been clean for over ten frickin years for cripes sake. And he is happily married with twins. He's been clean since the late 90's. What year are you living in Cybersleuth??? Get with it."

On Bitter Celebrity Custody Battles...Cybersleuth said "Charlie Sheen and Denise need to suck it up and do what's best for the child they jointly brought into this world. However, since Denise has been and still is the main caregiver of the children (like most moms), her priority is with the children's best care and support, as it should be. Why all the fighting? For custody? No way should Charlie get any custody. He has serious addictive issues that need professional counseling. And, he will likely never get past these issues that make him feel somehow happier. Charlie, it's all a quick fix scheme to bolster your ego and self-esteem that never works in the long run. Has Charlie been to college or developed his brain and emotional boundaries beyond the next eye-candy woman in his life? He doesn't seem like a happy man at all. And what woman in her right frame of mind would marry a man while he's fighting for custody? Who needs the stress of that scenario? Pass."

Cybersleuth said "Katie must not be as together as she sometimes portrays. How she's stayed with him this long is unimaginable. Frankly, Tom Cruise is not what Hollywood is paid to make him look like. He's so NOT handsome and his antics are embarrassing and suspiciously phony. He creeps me out. Suri is a beautiful child but I have my doubts about her paternity. Regardless, I am so through with hearing about how much her clothing costs (enough to feed many hungry people, if these two were the least bit altruistic)and the bratty behaviors she is developing as the little princess complex takes over. She's going to be a mess when she gets older, thinking people are in her life to cater to her every whim. Personally, I can't until the day Katie tells Tom the marriage is over and she's done with him."

On Oprah's Love Couch Confessionals...Cybersleuth said "How does one keep a family of five in a NYC apartment? I can't imagine not being able to go out my back door to walk on the beach or play with the dogs on the grassy lawn. Or, walk to a friends house next door. Do they have a house somewhere else in NY that is not in the city?"

On Oprah's Love Couch Confessionals...
Cybersleuth said "Time away from each other is what's likely needed for Angelina and Brad. Angelina is on the mommy track and Brad is on the making money for his growing family track. Jen is really an instigator of problems in this marriage with her continued texting during his time away from Angelina. Shame on Jen for being a home wrecker. However, it takes two to play that game and Brad is just as guilty for becoming further involved with Jen, even if she's just a friend. We all know how those kinds of relationships develop. Brad needs to do some soul searching and growing up. Angelina is strong enough to survive on her own and I hope she gets involved in the Foster Parenting Program in her state. She could be a great spokesperson once she sets her mind to it. And Angelina, eat a hamburger, girl. If you are too thin and wasting away yourself, those kids will suffer, too. A healthy, happy mommy is so much better than an emaciated, stressed out mommy. Let Brad go if he needs to. You can't hold on to someone who's intent on self destruction. "

Cybersleuth said "Angelina is a strong-willed woman who knows what she wants and goes after it, regardless of the repercussions to her marriage partner. I don't see a happy. long marriage for them but then, she doesn't really need Brad as she is totally capable of surviving on her own. Brad, on the other hand, seems to be stressed out from all the mayhem in his life. For refusing to put his foot down and demand limiting their family size, there will be more children to come. I see Angeline involved in the Foster Parenting Program, which would be wonderful, if she can provide adequately for each child. Let Brad go. Jen is not the best person for him, either but more soul searching is in the future for Brad. He's bound to Angelina through their natural children and that will never change."

I think the original article had to do with the fact that men are allowed to age naturally and still find meaningful roles in Hollywood, TV etc. Not true for women. They are forced to nip and tuck and chance ending up looking horrible- or find themselves ou of work and career mid-life.

I'm willing to bet the writer of this "article" is in his 20s. Good god, there are 25-30 years difference in some of these pictures. Only someone who hasn't lived will say Jeff Conway "let himself go", when all they did was age from 28 to 58. Gaining weight for a role, as Russell Crowe and Tom Hanks have, is also not "letting ones self go". What in Crowe's picture points to that assertion? Yes, John Travolta and Val Kilmer don't look anything like their 20-something selves, (Do you realize just how much time and effort Travolta put into looking like that???) but who amongst us does? I'm not in bad shape for a 51 year-old, but I'm not like I used to be. As for those who have nothing better to do in life than work out I tell you this; you're gonna die just like the rest of us, regardless of how much you can bench. Unless you're in a competitive activity you're most likely....mmmmm....compensating for some other "deficiancy".

Just because a celebrity gets older, doesn't mean they have to get fatter. Many older male celebrities do watch their weight and that's a good thing. The more fat you get, the more health problems you have especially the older you get.

It's not how you look, its how you feel. Age is the number that let's others know how much you have lived. I am 53 and have never looked better.
Russell Crowe, is the sexiest "old" man that I ever seen. Same for Pierce.
Not everybody age the same. Alcohol and smoking also play a role on the way you age.
The double standard in Hollywood should be the same for men or women. There SHOULD NOT BE a double standard.

hey, everybody, guess what! We are all headed that direction! It's call "aging"! The human body is built to last forever and sure, exercise and health eating will prolong youthfullness but will definately not deflect it! Some have better youthfulness genes than others, but we are all one day closer to death every morning we rise!

Tom Hank was never handsome; maybe cute, but there is no doubt how incredibly talented and gracious he is. He definately does not belong on this list. I have always wondered why Val let himself go...When "Top Gun" came out, I thought he was the hottest thing in the world...
Vince Vaughn is still hot (imo)-I have always liked him. And he is funny and tries to stay far away from the tabloids and media-Good for him!!

It's all about having pride in your self and not being lazy! Too much money in "Libwood" most of the time makes people lose site of reality. Eating/Drinking habits and forgetting the location of their gym makes them a fat ass. You know deep inside they are disgusted with themselves and miserable.I'm 49 and still have a very muscular build and wash board stomach because I make the choice to fight the fight everyday I get out of bed instead of settling.
