At this age, celebrities take on a different meaning for us. Sure, we still like to look at the great-looking men (Brad Pitt, we're talking to you!) and wonder what potion Christie Brinkley is drinking to stay so eternally youthful.
But unlike youngsters, we tend to be somewhat less likely to run out and buy a top just because our favorite celebrity is wearing it. It's not that we're not interested in celebrities, it's just that we've got better things to do than obsess over every detail of their lives.
So that's why I've compiled my list of favorite celebrity photo galleries. These galleries reflect how I view celebrity: with a bit of irreverence, but a nod to those over 45 celebrities who deserve recognition. Enjoy!
5 Celebrities Who Don't Seem to Age. Let's start off with Jon Bon Jovi. He's hot. Like really hot. And almost 50. Go figure.
Famous Faces Before & After Plastic Surgery. The good (Jane Fonda), the bad (Madonna) and the really bad (Priscilla Presley.)
9 Best Bodies Over 50. From the obvious (like Christie Brinkley) to the surprising (Christine Baranski) these shapely over-50 women are inspirational.
Celebrity Couples Who Dress Alike. These stylish duos tend to dress like each other, from Lissa Rinna and Harry Hamlin to the Obamas.
7 Great Middle-Aged Makeovers. Of course, Kirstie Alley tops this list with her astounding weight loss and chic transformation. But others have done the same.
My 5 Favorite Fashion Icons Over 45. I love fashion. And find it inspirational that strong women over a certain age still have an amazing sense of style like Ines de La Fressange.
5 Middle-Aged Men Who Dress Like Teenagers. Backwards ball caps and logo tees are fine for youngsters, but these well-in-their-prime men are still trying these looks.
