WHY CAN’T MORE MEN LOOK LIKE MARK MESTER?

Actually more men MIGHT look like the KTLA newsman, if they would only SHAVE. Granted, Mark Mester has other assets – he was named Newscaster with the Best Hair in California. And besides keeping fit, he also LIKES to cook! But his most endearing trait is the fact that he shaves regularly. So few men Continue reading “WHY CAN’T MORE MEN LOOK LIKE MARK MESTER?”

JIM CARREY: DITCH THE GREY BEARD AND WATCH YOUR LUCK CHANGE!

Just as we were thinking “Whatever happened to Jim Carrey?” he happened to post this photo on Instagram which answered all our questions. WHY he posted this is unknown but we assume it’s a recent picture. The last time we saw Jim on TV (or anywhere) was Dec, 2019, when he appeared on Saturday Night Continue reading “JIM CARREY: DITCH THE GREY BEARD AND WATCH YOUR LUCK CHANGE!”

MATTHEW PERRY HAS NINE LIVES

It was just last summer that we saw those dreadful photos of Matthew Perry looking overweight, disheveled, and chain-smoking, wobblily visiting a medical building with his “sober coach.” (He has a history of addiction to methadone, vicoden, methamphetamines, and alcohol) He also had those whiskers that make many men look like transients. Magically, in December Continue reading “MATTHEW PERRY HAS NINE LIVES”

SUPERMAN WITH FACIAL HAIR? REALLY?

OK, we were officially HORRIFIED when we saw this publicity photo for the upcoming CW series, Superman & Lois. We are talking about Superman’s rough looking whiskers! It’s bad enough to see men on the street with this unshaven look, but SUPERMAN!!! The Superman character is intended to be clean-cut, an idealized man. Not a Continue reading “SUPERMAN WITH FACIAL HAIR? REALLY?”

CHARLIE HUNNAM: HIDING BEHIND HIS BEARD

Charlie Hunnam arrived at a social event at Chateau Marmont looking like THIS – which is to say, displaying few of his charms. Perhaps, the Sons of Anarchy star grew facial hair for the series because he had such a cute face that he needed to look rougher. But Anarchy is long past, and we Continue reading “CHARLIE HUNNAM: HIDING BEHIND HIS BEARD”

BEARDS: THE MALE VERSION OF SWEATPANTS?

The opinionated Karl Lagerfeld left behind many quotes – one of our favorites is “Sweatpants are a sign of defeat” – implying that people who wear sweatpants have given up. It’s quite possible that nice looking men who aren’t as young as they used to be GROW GREY BEARDS for the same reason! Kurt Russell Continue reading “BEARDS: THE MALE VERSION OF SWEATPANTS?”

THIS GUY USED TO BE GEORGE CLOONEY

We like to reminisce about the original unbearded George Clooney back in the day (actually not so long ago) when he was a handsome man unfettered by facial hair. Luckily, for his wife Amal, George grew this bushy beard for his role in Good Morning, Midnight – in which he plays a scientist alone in Continue reading “THIS GUY USED TO BE GEORGE CLOONEY”

TIM ROBBINS: FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT NO ONE LOOKS BETTER WITH A BEARD

Who DIDN’T love Tim Robbins in Shawshank Redemption? The Academy loved him MORE in Mystic River and gave him a Best Supporting Actor Oscar in 2003 – at 6’5,” he remains the TALLEST actor ever to win an Oscar. Always a political activist, Tim introduced improvisational acting to gang members locked up in California. Tim Continue reading “TIM ROBBINS: FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT NO ONE LOOKS BETTER WITH A BEARD”

RUSSELL CROWE HAS NEVER LOOKED WORSE

A full-figured Russell Crowe showed up in Rome for a festive event involving his 2000 epic Gladiator. While the movie was projected on a big screen, a symphony orchestra played the Oscar nominated score. A nice way to spend a summer evening. Russell, 54, has changed a LOT since he made that movie, but he Continue reading “RUSSELL CROWE HAS NEVER LOOKED WORSE”

ESAI MORALES IS NO LONGER A BAD BOY

As beards go, we’ve seen much worse examples than this facial hair sported by Esai Morales. Of course this grey beard IS hiding the face of one of the better looking actors in Hollywood, so it’s still a nuisance. We remember Esai’s Smoothly handsome face in 80’s movies Bad Boys and La Bamba – more Continue reading “ESAI MORALES IS NO LONGER A BAD BOY”
