May 8 2007Cate Blanchett has seen better days

Cate Blanchett showed up to the red carpet of the Costume Institute Gala in New York looking like some sort of troll. She usually looks elegant and ethereal, so I don't know what the hell is going on here. She looks like she should be living under a bridge, hopping from foot to foot and waving a stick over her head.

Dear fucking holy hell.

That's not her.
5. mia - May 8, 2007 9:51 AM
Its courteney love.
6. Agatha - May 8, 2007 9:52 AM
Her hair seems thin and are those liver spots on the side of her face?
I think she's geriatric.
And judging from her expression, suffering from dementia.
7. shanonorato - May 8, 2007 9:52 AM
None for me, thanks!

Shocked that the pretty fairy princess doesn't appear in the prequel, Cate auditions for the role of Golem in the Fellowship of the Rings.

Being an AIDS victim must suck.
11. Fishstick - May 8, 2007 9:54 AM
wow. someone feed her a goat.
12. SisterSweetly - May 8, 2007 9:54 AM
Good God...she looks like a famine victim.
Or a junkie.
13. Bill Lumbergh - May 8, 2007 9:56 AM
Come on you people!
She's at the Costume Institute Gala, it's obvious decided to go as Courtney Love.
14. daηielle™↵ - May 8, 2007 9:56 AM
she would've looked almost normal if she didn't get richard simmons to do her makeup or oscar the grouch to be her wardrobe stylist or if god had to decided to to take a rain check.
15. JennSTX - May 8, 2007 9:56 AM
What the hell are those bruises on the side of her boobs near her armpits? They look like vericose vein clusters on each side.
Good lord, she looks like a sunken-cheeked vampire/zombie.
((shudder))
16. murmurzz - May 8, 2007 9:57 AM
Personally, I'd like to cut a loaf of bread on those collarbones of hers. Yum!
17. jrzmommy♠ - May 8, 2007 9:57 AM
please tell me this is for a role she's agreed to take as David Bowie from his Ziggy Stardust-androgeny days
18. daηielle™↵ - May 8, 2007 9:57 AM
*decided* minus those 2 to's.
19. mia - May 8, 2007 9:58 AM
Its her.

21. veggi - May 8, 2007 10:01 AM
She needs to crawl up a pigs ass and make a ham sammich. WTF happened to her?
22. judgementalzine - May 8, 2007 10:02 AM
that photo has been doctored by the Daily mail. you can see the original photos here ---> http://www.mollygood.com/wp/docs/2007/05/catebones4.jpg and see them compared to the untouched ones. albeit she's thinner than she was at the oscar's, she's not THAT skeletal looking.
23. elbobcat - May 8, 2007 10:03 AM
That can't be the real Cate Blanchett. She looks like a mummified version of Annie Lenox.
24. ck - May 8, 2007 10:05 AM
She's not the most beautiful woman but this is a particularly unflattering picture. Truth is, Cate is a style icon. Always adventurous in her choices.
25. jrzmommy♠ - May 8, 2007 10:05 AM
Courtney Love has about 50 pounds on her.
26. RichPort - May 8, 2007 10:07 AM
Good god! I thought Andy Warhol was dead!
27. Fifth Stooge - May 8, 2007 10:08 AM
She looks better than Paris will in about 60 days.
28. mia - May 8, 2007 10:09 AM

She looks the same in your picture, with a different angle.
29. Badmofo210 - May 8, 2007 10:10 AM
Hey Lindsay just called and said
"hey calm down with the coke theres enough for everyone"
30. honeycombs_big_yeahyeahyeah! - May 8, 2007 10:11 AM
Yummy, love the English Patient look.
Dudette looks like Ralph Fiennes.
The horrifying thing about Brits is when you boil it down and scrape an inch of make-up off the ladies' ruddy complexions, the men and women look basically the same. I am sure "his and her" sweat suits and other such abominations originated over there.
31. Stuffy - May 8, 2007 10:12 AM
She lost all the weight for a new movie called "Cancer Vixen: A True Story"
32. GooniesNeverSayDie - May 8, 2007 10:13 AM
In a related story, HBO announces the return of "Tales from the Crypt," hosted by Cate Blanchett.

She's australian.
34. PrettyBaby - May 8, 2007 10:15 AM
Hi Fish Posters!! I am back-- to see you all again. I missed some of you esp. in this order- danYELL, Troller I and Troller II. I also see you all have not lost your lust for the one known as Richport.. Stalkers!!
Alright- WTF?! What is this fucking diet these bitches go on and why does Rosie the fat ass go on it? Sooo sad. I tell ya
35. PrettyBaby - May 8, 2007 10:16 AM
my first post back and fucking typos galore..
Why doesn't Rosie the fat as go on it?
As you were.
36. PrettyBaby - May 8, 2007 10:17 AM
Rosie the fat ass... Gahhhhh! LOL
Just love me.
37. tits_on_snack - May 8, 2007 10:19 AM
Thanks #22, if that had actually been the original photo. But it's just another photo, from a different angle, of her looking the same.
38. Plastic Sturgeon - May 8, 2007 10:19 AM
It is a sad day when an actual actress, AKA, Cate Blanchett, falls victim to anorexia.
Yet I am still on a high because Paris Hilton was sentenced to jail.
I am so confused inside. ;-)

Thank you 33. Must join Blanchett fan club so I know these things.
Aussies are basically Brits albeit slightly more awesome.
My statement stands.
41. mia - May 8, 2007 10:25 AM

I'm not a fan.
But I can make a quick research on the internet.

fucking racist
43. costamar - May 8, 2007 10:31 AM
Newsflash!! Cate Blanchett must be doing hard drugs.
44. lambman - May 8, 2007 10:34 AM
she looked fine last month, did she just quit eating or something? I hope she gets help
45. drew51 - May 8, 2007 10:41 AM
Why is she dressed as a zombie from "Dawn of the Dead"?
Quick, someone shoot her in the head before she bites somebody. We don't want an epidemic of the dead walking around.
Oh oh, too late!!!!!

Why is a skeleton famous?
51. blondie - May 8, 2007 11:00 AM
She is actually a very pretty woman, they just caught her on a REALLY bad day. She probably shouldn't have that hair do with her ears..she needs some rouge and bronzer pretty bad (pale)..or maybe a check up for low iron. And she needs a banana split or two. Other than that...
52. ph7 - May 8, 2007 11:01 AM
Look at get into the wrong limo - yu can actually see those poses shwon here, including the guy lifting up her dress...

another poster child for ANEROXIA
54. deborahdawn - May 8, 2007 11:06 AM
She looks like serious shit. Looks like a bad drug habit or something.
And what on earth are those dark spots near her armpits?
55. Hecubus - May 8, 2007 11:18 AM
It looks like her partner accidentally killed her a week ago and has been pulling a weekend at Bernies ever since.
p.s. those dark spots are her nipples.
56. veggi - May 8, 2007 11:19 AM
She had a great body in Notes Of A Scandal. Jesusfuckingchrist. I can't even look at her.
57. radically4peace - May 8, 2007 11:22 AM
It's the pale foundation and gold eye makeup. Makes her look washed out.
58. onecritic - May 8, 2007 11:23 AM
ANOREXICS!!!!
59. TrippyGoogler - May 8, 2007 11:28 AM
Let me just say for the record that I never thought she was hot to begin with, so I'm not surprised.

#13 - Nice screen name. But you forgot to say "yeeeaaaaahhhhhhh".
#36 - I love you PB! You know that!! Appearances by you and Rich on the same day. The planets must be in proper alignment or something. Nice to see you again.
Man - all of the Courtney Love and Smeagol references are close, but the Dawn of The Dead Zombie comparison is the most accurate. Absolutely terrible what she's done to herself. Everything except her ears looks emaciated.
62. wedge1 - May 8, 2007 11:31 AM

JRZMOMMY,
Is that all you got? You don't have any nicer pictures of yourself than this?
Gee, poor you
66. Lizzle - May 8, 2007 11:40 AM
Doesn't suprise me in the least. I've never been able to see what people remotely find attractive in her. She's always got that death look about her, only this time it's a little worse than usual. She reminds me of that freak model on one of the past seasons of America's Next Top Model ... does anyone know what I'm talking about??? The one who was legally blind. Both look like harvesters of souls.
67. jrzmommy♠ - May 8, 2007 11:44 AM
I like the way Cate looks. She looks like a child and that excites me. Sorry Kyra. You are a little too long in the tooth for me.
68. Maskatron - May 8, 2007 12:03 PM
This is actually pretty sad. She's a great actress and one hell of a great looking woman usually. Hope she gets her shit together.
69. LukeWarmwater - May 8, 2007 12:06 PM
I'd still hit it. Bukkake improves looks.

I thought she was hot then... :(
73. ashleigh - May 8, 2007 1:02 PM
SHE'S NOT ANOREXIC.
It's for a role...she's playing a cancer patient. Stop being mean.
74. LL - May 8, 2007 1:20 PM
Go Fug Yourself has this one too. Dress not flattering. Hair not particularly flattering. Makeup (esp. eyes) really not flattering, giving her the back-from-the-dead look. And she's too effing skinny. That dress looks like it weighs more than she does.
Cate's pretty good-looking normally, if a little on the too-slender side, but this wasn't a good look for her. Better luck next time, Cate.
75. Conky - May 8, 2007 1:20 PM
She looks like a withered Olsen twin...
I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.
:(
76. LeeLee - May 8, 2007 1:40 PM
#73 okay there's are these people called makeup artists. They are really good at their jobs like making people look like they have bullet holes in them and also at making people look completely anemic.
Just because she's playing the part, doesn't mean she has to walk around with the sullen check blush and pale lips.
77. LeeLee - May 8, 2007 1:41 PM
If I were the Billy Goats, there's no way in hell I'd be crossing that Bridge.
78. prplmeanie - May 8, 2007 2:11 PM
She's starring in a movie called Cancer Vixen and lost weight for the role.
79. chaunceygardner - May 8, 2007 2:19 PM
This photo contains huge spoiler content for Indiana Jones fans wondering who or what Cate plays in the upcoming INDY 4.
I guess the huge python squeezing out of her mouth will be CGI.
80. Donkey - May 8, 2007 2:22 PM

If that's true, there no telling how much damage she's doing to her body just for a movie role.
81. sympathee - May 8, 2007 2:28 PM

82. Trish - May 8, 2007 2:31 PM

83. Lowlands - May 8, 2007 2:32 PM
Did Cate Blanchett just get released from jail or something?
84. LadyZombie - May 8, 2007 2:33 PM
That's too bad. Yeah, normally she's a very beautiful woman.
A 10 pound gain from good nutritious food will fix her right up.
85. johnnywad - May 8, 2007 2:46 PM
GA-AHD-DAMN... that's like every nightmare I ever had as a child, all rolled up into a vampire crack whore.
86. kamihi - May 8, 2007 3:43 PM
there's nothing wrong with her that a whole 3000 calories a day for a year would not rectify.

She would have been the prized peice of my childhood collection. I had like 300 trolls back then, but I prefered them with pink hair.
I had baby trolls, scuba diving trolls, lots of naked trolls but no anorexic albino trolls... she's special.
"Mommy can I have the giant white skeletor troll for christmas pleeeease"
"NO"
"BUT MAAAAAAAAM, I HAVE TO HAVE THE GIANT WHITE WHORE TROLL OR ELSE I WON'T BE CUUUL"

maybe she's doing a remake of "nosferatu"
otherwise...wow....just....wow. Without captions i never ever would have thought that was her..."fragile beauty"
95. The Squizz - May 8, 2007 6:19 PM
I heard she smells like urine.
96. H.A.L.9000 - May 8, 2007 6:25 PM
interesting comment, squizz/ is your source reliable?
...& if true then glad it's not scratch n sniff
possibly, she's been drinking it for research (??), desert survival, religious reasons etc.
97. The Squizz - May 8, 2007 6:51 PM
Not sure. But if she smells of it, it's got to be coming out of her pores. Right??

Are you sure she is not dead? She is white as a ghost.
100. yerdumb - May 8, 2007 10:42 PM
i wonder if clavicle bone implants or collar-bone implants will become a craze soon. so that fat people can look emaciated too. breast implants are for wannabe fatties...i think our sense of beauty is shifting towards bones being all the rage, right? clavicle implants.
101. cattitude17 - May 9, 2007 1:07 AM
Karen Carpenter had more meat on her bones when she died o_O

106. happy_bunny - May 9, 2007 2:50 PM
You know some of that may just be the unflattering angle and position her arms are in. In other pics of her at that event her weight looks about the same as it's always been. It's not like she was a real beefsteak up til now.
That is some crap hair and makeup though.
107. happy_bunny - May 9, 2007 3:01 PM

Her and Kirstin Dunst must live in the gutter together and shoot up heroin.
It doesn't look like the normal her at all though. I think she's a great actress aswell.

116. kiara - May 28, 2007 5:26 AM
I wish we would all just leave celebrities alone. Sure, she does look painfully thin by why dwell on it. She is a human being and deserves respect. I am a thin person and can't help it (although I don't look that skeletal). Let's give her respect and accept her for what she looks like. After all, she is a fan-bloody-tastic actress:)
117. Human Being - December 12, 2007 11:50 PM

118. Amanda - December 27, 2007 10:42 PM
People, hello!!!??? She had to lose all that weight to do her new movie "Elizabeth: The Golden Age". That's why she lost all that weight, but now that filming is over and everything, and that she is now pregnant, she looks really healthy now!
