The 90's have truly passed.

Heard a few weird things the other day:This is some living proof that, unlike wine, men

dont always age gracefully:

Val Kilmer: The Saint circa 1997 (left) Now: He i

s planing to run for Governor of New Mexico

(right) 2009

Oscar nominee or no, Mickey Rourke: actor- turned boxer went on a downhill spiral after his roles in major flicks like Bullet, Johnny Handsome and The RainMaker (1997): The right image is his mugshot from DUI on a vespa...

Next up: Gary Barlow: singer from Take That- had girls swooning back in the nineties but by the begnning of the naughties, Barlow seemed to have let himself go abit. Its OK for women to put on pregnancy weight: men? not so sure. You might want to argue that there is now 'paternity leave'- they're allowed to sit around and nurse their young for abit? doesnt really do it for me... Gary Barlow HAS lost weight now though:

And of course, Joaquin Pheonix. Is it something about being nominated/awarded an Oscar? He starred in U Turn(1991), 8mm (1997) and declared retirement after Walk the Line

WHY oh WHY?? would you do that to yourself??

So I conclude: note to men, please be aware of your beer belly and oh girls, take a look at their old man: a full head of hair is always! a good sign- baldness affects 89% of all men...
