As long as they don't end up like Joan Rivers, that is. I'm not a big fan of the collagen in the lips, though. That looks ridiculous.

I wouldn't judge anyone either. I think that you can take it too far and end up looking stupid. If Christine had some work done it was very good.

I think she looks great. One of my friends and fello band fan thinks she looks terrible. "I don't recognize her" she says. But I think she's focusing too much on the heavily airbrushed covers of The Dance and ITM. In those brief video clips on christinemcvie.com, she looks like her old and fabulous self. And I love the more recent pics of her where she's suntanned and wearing less makeup. Whichever way you slice it, she looks fantastic for being, what, 63?

I agree, although she just turned 64 this summer.

The picture on the front cover of ITM was appalling. When I saw it for the first time I thought nice picture but who is it? I think she went on the amazing Photoshop diet - lose 30 years in one day

the one on the back cover is much nicer and the one where she's standing outside what looks like a barn (possibly the studio) is really good.

She looks like a thin Loretta Swit on the ITM cover. Ugh.

Dennis sounds like a jerk. Was he that rotten?

What about Lindsey's comment that Brian Wilson had a crush on Chris, too? I've never heard anything about Brian and Chris, so I assume that she did not reciprocate Brian's interest. I just wonder if it was before, during, or after her romance with Dennis. I guess by that time, Brian was too far gone for her to even entertain the idea of a relationship, mentally fragile. Michele

Where did you hear Lindsey's comment about Brian Wilson having a crush on Chris? I posted a 1979 Melody Maker article some time ago. It was primarily about Dennis Wilson although Chris was in the article too. Dennis was quoted as saying that Brian liked Christine. He remarked that Brian didn't like his previous wife at all.

Apparently yes, especially when he was high which he probably was much of the time. Chris has said that she was obsessed with him.

And, welcome back to the Ledge, David.
