Artists looking younger/older than their age?

by **denise** » Tue Nov 15, 2011 10:56 am

Do you all realize she is 85 y o

I bet most of us can only dream to look that way at her age!
So much hate towards the Duchess.

yes.. but honestly, I think the XF producers made this story up to make him more interesting. I cannot believe he's 60.

Leroy Bell - Audition 1 - THE X FACTOR 2011

The Duchess of Alba, or La Duquesa as she's known in Spain is like the biggest legend and celebrity there. Spain has so many hot/beautiful celebs but it's La Duquesa who steals the spotlight from all of them. :lol:

Paps and media follow her every step, her family tribulations (relationships with many children,sons in law, marriages etc). Her marriage was the event of the year,her children were against it so she decided to spread all her wealth (she's a billionaire) to them in advance and also her husband declared he won't take any of it.

In spirit she really is still young and her life shows it, she goes to the beach, she dances (like at her wedding) and has fun. As for her face,I'm not sure if she had something done to it or if she just had a stroke cause she has trouble speaking these days and her jaw always moves like she's chewing a gum.

As for her title, she's the noble with most titles in the world, basically she's related to all royal families but also Winston Churchill and princess Diana. Her full name is, get ready for this:

María del Rosario Cayetana Paloma Alfonsa Victoria Eugenia Fernanda Teresa Francisca de Paula Lourdes Antonia Josefa Fausta Rita Castor Dorotea Santa Esperanza Fitz-James Stuart, Silva, Falcó y Gurtubay

That's your short lesson on Cayetana. :lol:

Hmmm... someone would have came forward by now to debunk his story, some of his school friends, peers, neighbors, associates...
By the way, in the 70s he co-wrote two Elton John's hits "Mama Can't Buy You Love" and "Are You Ready for Love".

Imagine the scene in the court where she is a witness. Before her testimony court official ask her "Would you state and spell your full name for the record." :lol:

She looks so good here

Too easy to jump on the throat of the Duchess just for a couple of bad angle shots: every celebs have their ones....so I don't see the problem with the Duchess!!

Strike a pose
Vogue, vogue, vogue

She really enjoys life. Respect!

The Duchess is not a beauty but she really radiates positive energy. She is unique and I understand why she's the biggest legend and celebrity in Spain.

by **jarr268** » Tue Nov 15, 2011 2:31 pm

This woman is really interesting even though her face is... :oops:

From what I see you can write a book about her life.

Btw, the previous page was hilarious. :lol:

I remember my mum told me he was 60 when I caught a glimpse of the show I was like

If he co-wrote two big hits for Elton, isn't he a little disqualified for X-Factor? Usually I thought those reality talent shows were for people who are amateurs and need a big break, and Elton is certainly not a small-time artist. Plus he had a few disco hits in the 70's with Bell And James. Maybe a second wind yes, but some unknown coming from nowhere to get a shot on TV isn't his case.

Still, he does look great for 60.

Also, as for respecting her.. As soon as she stops spending what looks like 5 million euros a year on her plastic surgery on the tax payers cent I'll show her some respect!

I think Celine looks great. Her face has wrinkles and I think it is because she is so skinny but her body is perfect, much better than a lot of younger starts, especially after three sons.

The X-Factor is more open regarding previous success and/or recording career. I found this on their official site...
The X-Factor Rules (pdf document):

If you are asked to audition for subsequent rounds of the competition (currently scheduled for May – June 2011), you MUST be able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of Producer that you do not have any of thefollowing agreements in effect (written or oral):
• a contract for talent representation (for example, a talent agent or manager);
• a current music recording contract;
• a current agreement relating to the use of your name, voice and/or likeness;
• an exclusive acting contract; or
• any other contractual arrangement that would prohibit you from fully participating in the show and/or entering into any contracts required by Producer, including a recording contract and merchandising contract.

So basically every artist without contract obligation can participate in the show.

By the way, one of the contestants was Audrey Turner, Ike Turner's widow and his backup singer for years... but she didn't make Top 32. :lol:

by **NothingFails** » Wed Nov 16, 2011 8:49 pm

Oh okay. Admittedly the most surprising thing about that post is that Ike Turner had a widow. One would think about Tina's tell-all no woman would have him with a 100 foot pole :lol:

Raquel Welch is an actress but she also sang :lol:

and released a single in 80s so...
I present you Raquel Welch. She was 70 years and 216 days old on these (non-photoshopped) photos...

...and another one. She was also 70 here...

By the way, she is 14 years younger than The Dutchess!

For a 78 year old with no obvious plastic surgery, Yoko Ono looks remarkably well-preserved
