"Swann recently produced a scathing analysis of stars' high-definition looks. They included Demi Moore, whose complexion was described as "coarse and leathery", and Donald Trump, who appeared "puffed up ?and covered with an odd mixture of orange and white".
Heather Locklear was cited as "a classic case of the HDTV effect. In regular TV, she still looks great, sexy as ever. But in high-def, the ageing lines and wrinkles are everywhere." Top of his list was Teri Hatcher, the Desperate Housewives actress, who is described as looking "really desperate". Hatcher's forehead is said to have "bulging veins, making it look like a page from a road map". " |

LOL...too true. Even DVDs can be too crisp. Whenever I watch desperate housewives I try to blur my vision whenever they do facial closeups! Knocks off 10 or so years.  |

I work in broadcasting - this is a big problem. Besides actors, cheesy sets and effects that used to pass now look horrible. The costs are skyrocketing.
But there is no way Catherine Zeta Jones is "flawless" on Hi-Def: I don't know what that guy was watching. |

| They will just soften the hell out of the HDTV image, just like they do on Oprah. That show looks like it was shot through half a can of vaseline. |
