September 13, 2007 - Demi Moore will soon be an author. The actress is writing a tell-all book about Hollywood's obsession with youth.
Moore is also revealing some of the work that she had had done in an effort to stay young looking.
The 44-year-old tells the "Daily Mail" that she's had $600,000 worth of plastic surgery. That includes breast implants, collagen injections, liposuction and a $12,000 procedure to lift sagging skin around her knees.
Moore says she's also writing the tell-all to shed light on Hollywood's obsession with youth.
While her 29-year-old husband, Ashton Kutcher, clearly has no problem with Demi Moores over-40 status, the same cant be said of Hollywood. With only handful of film roles since her big 2003 comeback in Charlies Angels: Full Throttle, Demi recently voiced her concerns about her sagging career, and one publication detailed the steps she taken to keep everything else from sagging.
It's been a challenging few years, being the age I am. Almost to the point where I felt like, well, they don't know what to do with me. I am not 20. Not 30, she revealed to Red magazine. There aren't that many good roles for women over 40. A lot of them don't have much substance, other than being someone's mother or wife.
Demis frustration with Hollywoods attitudes toward women of a certain age was evident throughout her interview with the publication. If we are told we are not valuable once we hit 30, it is a problem, she said. We all have more to give We can't just wait for something to happen. We have to say, I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more.
But, according to the Daily Mail, Demis fighting the system with more than just words. The newspaper alleges shes put almost half a million dollars into rebuilding her body, in an effort to keep the years at bay.
In addition to employing an army of advisors, the Daily Mail claims shes had breast implants, collagen injections, liposuction and a procedure to lift the drooping skin on her knees.
The 44-year-old actress claims Hollywood doesn't know what to do with her because she is too old to play the female lead, but looks too young and attractive to play motherly characters.
Demi said in an interview with Red magazine: "It's been a challenging few years, being the age I am, with so much focus now on how I look. Almost to the point where I felt like, well, they don't know what to do with me. I'm not 20. Not 30."
"But I'm certainly different from what most people feel someone in her 40s should be.
Cobbled together from three different links.
While there is a real issue here is she really the best person to speak to it? How many roles has she gotten earlier in her career because she's essentially a hot piece of tail? This reminds me of the whole Britney Spears issue. Why do people complain when they benefit from a system when they profited from the very same system earlier?
