Shirley MacLaine: Workout on a Limb?

When you're one of the greatest actresses of a generation, you can wear anything you want. But perhaps not all at once. Shirley MacLaine, 73, star of "What a Way to Go!", was seen in Malibu yesterday wearing what appears to be the garb of a local birdwatcher, or all of the clothes from her past lives. And she rocks it!

She's ready to hike through the Andes in her rubber boots, granny fanny pack (plus a supplemental shoulder bag from the Sophia Petrillo collection) and a plastic blue visor protecting her famously freckled face. Take note, starlets: this is how you wear a pair of oversized sunglasses. What a way to go ... out!

63. I am waiting for the pictures of the TMZ staff and let's see how THEIR Moms and Grandmothers look and dress and let's see how many people comment about that and see if the TMZ staff like it. I would bet money they wouldn't

64. Did it ever occur to TMZ staff that Shirley is just trying to blend into the crowd looking like most of your well dressed "moms"???? Hey any candid shots of the “TMZ MOM’s” I didn’t think so!!!!

67. Shirley is cool, but there is one as beautiful as Nicole Kidman. I know this has nothing to do with Shirley, but I just wanted to say it.

68. ok..I meant there is NO ONE as beautiful as Nicole Kidman. I wish someone would invent a typo sensor.

69. I don't get it. What is TMZ staff trying to say exactly? I can't tell if they are praising or trashing MacLaine. You guys do that a lot. You are too wishy-washy to make a definitive statement on anything. It's always ambiguous.

70. It's good to see Shirey McLaine dresses like many of us on a normal lounge-about day. Fact is, she could look like a wilted lettuce and still be stronger world force than fluffs like Paris and Jessica Simpson.

You go, girlfriend!

71. She has turned into a complete nutcase, I heard her in an interview a nd she was lost during the whole thing. then she just started rambling on and on about nothing related to any of the questions asked. In the middle of one of her lucid rants she hung up the phone. Maybe the spaceship came and got her at that point

72. TMZ is such a pack of catty fools. This is an sharp, witty, fit older woman, out and about on a normal day. Do we really care that she's dressed comfortably? It's not like she's headed for a red carpet event or anything. If she were, she'd be dressed for it. Honestly...

73. I think Shirley looks adorable. TMZ is trash.

74. That photo is a beautiful palette of colors. MacLaine is wearing a great assortment of favorite Southern California shades. Everything she has on smacks of the kind of class that only locals know. It's called how to dress down and be comfortable without looking like a slob. It takes a certain knack to put it all together without looking "put together". Take it from a native, she knows exactly how to throw something on from a very eclectic wardrobe that is fool proof. A guy could wear that outfit too (without the socks). To me she looks like she is going to meet a buddy for a bloody mary by the pier. That's the perfect Sunday morning from San Diego to Santa Monica.

75. Angie- YOU are the one who needs to shut up! I said that Shirley needs the Lord (like we ALL do), not some church. You don't need to be in a church to have the Lord, idiot. I AM NOT recruiting for my church or ANY church. All I am saying is that SHE NEEDS THE LORD.

Witchcraft is an abomination to the Lord and (in the bible) there are strong warnings against it.
