Maybe David Geffen sucked all the joy and youth out of him during their relationship (see link).

He's only 52 -- maybe it was all the time in the sun -- skin damage? He looks emaciated, plus the pretty hair (thanks bro) only makes the contrast look really weird

He also hit his 20s in the late 70s, so I hate to say it but he was hot and probably had a bit of sex, so I hope he's not sick, but if he is he's survived, which says something. Not everyone can look like Magic Johnson.

How is that possible? They both starred in The Last American Virgin in 1982. IMDb says Monoson was born in 1962, making him 20 when the movie came out. If Steve Antin is 14 years older than him, that means he was born in 1948, and was 34 in TLAV, and is 62 now. I don't think so.

by Anonymousreply 48November 18, 2010 3:20 AM

R48, you can't read.

IMDb says Monoson was born in 1964. He was 16 when the movie was made.

Antin says he was born in 1952 (12 years), but other sources say 1950 (14 years), and he looks even older.

Steve Antin is most famous for playing Troy in GOONIES.

Who are you people kidding?

by Anonymousreply 79November 19, 2010 7:45 AM

A certain garishness goes with the territory, but the rest is all writer-director Steven Antin's doing in "Burlesque," an overwrought, underwritten hootchy-kootchy tuner that desperately wants to be "Cabaret," but lacks the edge and historical context to pull it off. Unfolding with the wide-eyed innocence of a classic MGM musical, in which an orphaned country girl -- played by vocally endowed, acting-challenged pop star Christina Aguilera -- finds her place within the dysfunctional family of a racy Sunset Strip nightclub, "Burlesque" partially redeems its clumsy drama through infectious song and dance, enough to win over a midsize teen (and gay) following. Aguilera plays Ali, an Iowa waitress of indeterminate age who can't stand one more minute in her dusty small town, quits her job and then sticks around to sing an opening number (an Etta James cover) before catching the bus to Los Angeles. Her dreams aren't big -- just something better than she left behind -- and she realizes them in the Burlesque Lounge, a retro-styled joint where scantily clad, stunningly beautiful showgirls outnumber the customers, performing a mix of old and new songs.

"Burlesque" is to its namesake what gentlemen's clubs are to genuine gentlemen -- a stripped-down, tarted-up lingerie show divorced from the stage tradition's satirical heritage, which makes for sexy, flash-of-skin dance numbers (ably edited by "Dreamgirls" cutter Virginia Katz) in lieu of wit or parody. The thin drama stumbles until Ali reaches the club -- energized by Cher's "Welcome to Burlesque" -- a song that simultaneously introduces all the key characters and sells the nightclub's appeal (the only example of expositional multitasking to be found on the soundtrack).

Clearly, the Burlesque Lounge is where Ali belongs, but it delivers virtually nothing in the way of conflict: The only obstacle is for Ali to win over tough-love Tess, the motherly co-owner of the club, who looks more like a Cher impersonator than the real Cher during her entrance -- but soon reminds us of her gifts as both siren and star, socking over the movie's lone ballad, the Dianne Warren-written "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me," in what could have been a throwaway scene.

The dancers are more or less interchangeable, with the exception of resident diva Nikki (Kristen Bell) and Georgia ("Dancing With the Stars" winner Julianne Hough), whose conveniently timed pregnancy provides an opening for Ali. Meanwhile, Antin deliberately blurs the sexuality of the male characters, including androgynous emcee Alexis (Alan Cumming, in "Cabaret" mode), gay stage manager Sean (Stanley Tucci, who survives unscathed) and eyeliner-wearing bartender Jack ("Twilight's" Cam Gigandet).

"Burlesque" may be trading in archetypes, but that's no excuse for the fact Ali is the least developed of these characters. Is she 20 or 30? A virgin or a skank? Antin gives us nothing to go on, apart from a detail about Ali's mom dying shortly after the girl's seventh birthday, and Aguilera, while undeniably entertaining when her character is onstage, cannot spin the slight backstory into anything resembling a full-blooded person. It's a shortcoming, considering how much Tucci and Cher are able to do with their relatively minor roles.

As long as there's music playing and girls sashaying, the movie delivers. But the instant it returns to earth, the seams start to show. What "Burlesque" needs is texture -- not the red-velvet-and-rhinestones look that dominates the production design, but any sense that these are real people with real dreams facing real obstacles, rather than the overdue mortgage and moneybags investor (Eric Dane) Antin conjures up.

It's not his age that made him not-so-hot. It's his cosmetic surgery. He had the genes to age well. He was gorgeous. In 15-20 years, he could've been like Robert Redford and Harrison Ford - handsome, older men. Now, he just looks like a science project like his sister. Better to look like an appropriately older version of yourself than to look like a burn victim or android.

Tiny little thing isn't he? I still think he's handsome and seems to be a very hard worker. He comes off well in recent interviews. In Hollywood, plastic surgery is an occupational hazard.
