Through The Years

There are some stars that no matter what they do, they never seem to age.

Sandra Bullock. Matt Dillon. Even actresses like Mare Winningham, who never looked young to begin with, still look the same blend of semi-old. And doesn't it seem like Heather Locklear has been around forever?! By my calculations, she should be at least 64, but apparently she's only 44.

Amazingly, a lot of these stars are also of the soap opera variety. On soaps, twenty years could have gone by which means 17 husbands, 22 grand children and five reincarnations. Yet these people still look the same. Coincidence? I think not.

Then there are those stars that look nothing like their former selves. These are famous people that have had so much work done that only a vague resemblance is left.

Whatever happened to growing old gracefully? Are there more options out there or is it simply because people are living longer that this seems to be a pretty popular trend?

Take for example, Kenny Rogers.

Kenny use to look like this. Now he looks like this. The other night on American Idol they said the guest star was going to be Kenny Rogers.

I don't know about those of you who watched, but I kept waiting for Kenny to show up. All that we got was the creepy brother, Kevin who tried too hard to be hip. In fact, I think they could have gotten that dude from Mad TV who does Kenny Rogers impersonations and even HE would have been more convincing. Hell, anyone on this website, called Men Who Look Like Kenny Rogers would have been a more suitable substitute than Mr. Rogers himself.

And here's the other curious thing about Mr. Rogers and men like him. He pulled his face back so tight we all know now to just take two steps back, fold 'em, walk away and run.

But for all that work he did on his face, you would think the man would have invested in a bottle of hair dye as well and finish off the farce. Come on now. You already chalked up thousands. Another $6.50 isn't gonna kill you.

Then there are those like Michael Jackson, who changed his face and didn't even wait for geriatrics to dictate when or where. Excuse me, allegedly changed his face. I wouldn't want to be caught dragging Mr. Jackson's name through the mud unnecessarily. Besides, talking behind someone's back is just wrong.

Not to mention, two-faced.
