Seriously, what happened to her face? This is not meant to be a mean post about Meg Ryan. I'm not trying to tear her down, like the rest of the media is, who for some instance have collectively decided to hate her. I guess it's still because of the affair she had with Russell Crowe a few years back, which led to the break-up of her marriage to Dennis Quaid. To this day, I still don't understand how a person could cheat on Dennis Quaid with Russell Crowe, but that's none of my business. I was just asking the question about her face because I caught some of her interview with David Letterman, promoting The Women. It's obvious she's had a lot of botox, and she must have had some earlier in the day, because you could still see the bumps on her forehead from the injection sites. Other than that I can't quite figure it out. I don't think she had a facelift, since she doesn't look as if her skin had been pulled back. Did she she get cheek implants or lip implants, or is she just filled with Restylane? I don't know, but I just want to say to her, why, why would you do that? I like seeing actresses age gracefully. Susan Sarandon, for instance, looks better now than she did twenty years ago. Joan Allen, Meryl Streep, Sigourney Weaver, and Diane Keaton all look beautiful, because none of them have had work done on their faces, except for maybe botox every once and a while - though I don't know if they've even had that done. It's ridiculously hard for actresses to survive in Hollywood, after they get to a certain age. The good roles dry up for actresses after they reach their forties, and they're left waiting until they're old enough to play the role of mother to the leading lady. Actresses then wind up doing horrible things to their faces to try to fit with the youth obsessed industry. The career resurgence of Meryl Streep in the last few years, however, gives hope that better starring roles will come to actresses in their late forties and fifties. Meryl has had her two biggest box office hits, The Devil Wears Prada and Mamma Mia!, in the last three years. Hopefully studios will recognize that there is a large audience who will pay money to watch an older actress. Of course, they probably won't, since they keep being surprised anytime a female centric film does well at the box office, even after it happens year after year.

If I had just come across that picture without it's being identified AS Meg Ryan, I'd never have figured out it was even her. That's how bad this messin' with yer face can get! But you've obviously been missing her interviews of late because several times she's come right out and plainly said that she'd let Russell take the fall for her breakup by keeping silent. He didn't say anything to defend himself out of consideration for her, but she went on for years letting folks think it was because of him her marriage failed. Now she's saying that was simply not the case and that it was over between her and Dennis before she even started to see Russell.
