The irony of Cox's make-up joke.

She barely looked any worse with the gag about the make-up than she actually does with all the botox and surgery. What a shame, she would have aged well, I'm sure. She was very attractive and almost certainly would have looked good older.

How some women can be so obsessed with trying to look younger they literately cannot see how crazy their "fixed" faces look is mind boggling. Instead of looking 30ish as planned, they look 60ish... It's actually such a big distraction it's impossible not to think about it when they are on screen. She looks like someone that belongs on one of those real housewives shows.

This was a fun show about a fun group of friends. Now it's just sad.

There was talk of her starting up Dirt again, and that would have been great. I thought it was pretty good. But not if she looks like the Joker. Sad

For all the talk of botox, plastic surgery, et al, I think people fail to realize that Courtney Cox is now over 50 years old. Can you show me another woman over 50 who looks better?

She's no spring chicken anymore, and as with everyone, she doesn't look as good as she did when she was younger. That's to be expected and she still looks very nice for her age.

Every single one that is not all cut up and pumped with crap.

I have zero idea how anyone thinks these "Joker" faces look good or young. They do not look younger, they look older. Just stretched out. They look like they are 10 - 15 years older but stretched out to hide wrinkles. The end effect is actually worse than real age. You can literally spot them 50 feet away. I know a couple women that do this and they look horrid. Wrinkle free, you bet, but clown masks no less

Not one woman on the planet with plastic surgery to tighten skin and plumped up lips with injections looks good. And they do not look one second younger either! All look like they are in their late 60s trying to look 40....

This is not science fiction. The idea you can shave decades off your face is not part of today's reality.

I agree. Yes you can tell that Christa Miller and Courteney Cox have had work done, but it's pretty good work. They are both a few months away from 51, and still look great.

Can I interest you in a topical steroid from my lotion and unguent collection?

Miller looks ok for the most part but Cox looks like she is wearing a plastic mask.

I have to agree, this season Courteney's work is showing. Christa still looks great though.

@Slug-3

I see women everyday in real life over 50 and 60 who still look good, and didn't have to botox their faces to death because they wanted to look young forever. Believe or not, a women dosen't automatically lose her looks once she hit 50 or 50---that's just some bull**** right there. That's just some sexist,ageist bull**** Hollywood makes actresses do---I mean, men grow older just like women do, but no one's telling them to hurry up and get jacked up some damn botox or plastic surgery every damn time they turn around, or a wrinkle sprouts of something.

Here's a 52 year old who looks amazing: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001840/?ref_=tt_cl_t1

Not sure if she's had work done, but if she has, she had the sense to go to someone good and to only do a little.

I always liked Courtney Cox, but this final season she really did look weird and overly fake, unfortunately.

To the spoiler goes the victory!

they didnt mean to be 30ish on the show... their characters are about 40-45

Anyone who approves of what Courtney and Christa did to their faces is a phobe about aging. Neither needed it and neither looked better for it. It was painfully distracting.
