63. What ever happened to Baby Jane was one of the best Movies of the 20th century. The Redgrave sisters "cover" of it was pretty good as well. Don't know this dudes music. The make up is a bit much for a man his age. Goth has had its moment and now its time to move on.

64. Leave Betty alone, she was better actress than today's Hollywood. Let the woman rest in peace.

65. Thats nothing. I've seen him before without the makeup. Looks like his face is falling off. Robert Smith is the most influential musical talent ever and The Cure is still going strong and sounding great. I'm seeing them June 11th. Can't wait.

67. Robert Smith is a rock legend. I saw him in Philly 2 weeks ago and the Cure rocked for 3 hours and sounded awesome! TMZ, I love your site, but only when you make fun of all the no- talent young "stars" in Hollywood today. Do not touch Robert Smith. His appearance is part of his show and he has earned the right to keep rocking the hair and make-up. Robert Smith and the Cure rule!!!!!!!!

71. I've seen Robert without makeup and I think he still looks quiet handsome. I admit that it might do him some good to 'clean' up his look a little. And besides, Smith does whatever the hell he wants to anyway.
But honestly, even if the entire band were purple green aliens with sixteen limbs, I'd still go to their shows. They are awesome performers. Saw them at the Fairfax show... The best f'ing show ever!

72. Back off of Robert. He is the godfather of goth.

Love the Cure! Great in concert!

73. Hey # 15.... "only black people think it's cute when guys wear their pants so their ass is hanging out". What....are they doing it for easy access????

74. Robert Smith is awesome!
So what if he looks like crap, as if Steven Tyler or Mick Jagger are anything to look at?? They are still great musicians!

75. Robert Smith is the best. He writes all their lyrics, music, plays guitar and violin. He started wearing makeup because he is very shy and he felt like having on like that was theatrical and gave him a mask/persona to help him deal with his shyness.

Ive met him and he was so nice
