Yo dog, I like you but that wasn't good dude...

Actresses of a certain age always complain about the dearth of parts for post-40 women. Sharon Stone demonstrates why. What was once da bomb, is now "da pathetic".

48 year old women should have masters degrees, not masturbation scenes.

Its seems that Ms Stone has failed to observe something important about entertainment celebrity--you get famous in your generation and your stay famous in your generation. Only in the most exceptional circumstances does an actor or rock star get a second chance with the rising generation. One of the funniest things I ever saw was a Van Halen concert about a year ago--these guys look well--older to say the least, but so does the audience. Its a trip down memory lane for everyone, but now you identify with the BNL standard "New Kid (On the Block)

I'm a New Kid on the Block, and 'though I may not be Johann Sebastian Back, there's no need to be afraid of us 'though it just might be your daughter on our bus.

Even Van Halen can't quite pull off the illusion--something about Eddie Van Halen puffing away on a cigarette looking for all the world like he should be playing nickle slots at the Frontier just doesn't fit the illusion of youth, sex, drugs and rock & roll.

Its even tougher for a woman, even a very well "perserved" woman like Sharon Stone. You can look great for 50, and many women do, but you can never recapture the dewiness of youth, and the attempt is disconcerting to say the least. From the perspective of a generational peer, what makes an older woman attractive is less about the sparkle in her skin and hair and more about the sparkle in her eyes.

Ms Stone should spend a little time with Diane Keaton.
