Is Judge Judy Real?


Judy Sheindlin, the woman who is known around the world as Judge Judy, was the highest-grossing television host in 2018, pulling in $147 million according to Forbes. But, is she really a judge and is her show real.

Christie Brinkley Takes Milestone Birthday in Stride


One of the most famous supermodels of our time recently turned 65. Though Christie Brinkley never intended to be a model (she was famously discovered by a photographer in Paris while attending art school), her hesitation didn&#39;t stop her. She&#39;s been married four times and has three adult children who are quite spread out over the years: daughter Alexa Ray Joel born in 1985 with legend Billy Joel, son Jack Paris Brinkley Taubman born in 1995 with real estate developer Richard Taubman, and daughter Sailor Lee Brinkley Cook born in 1998 with architect Peter Halsey Cook. 
The model also joined the television show &quot;Dancing With the Stars&quot; for the fall 2019 season, but unfortunately broke her arm during a practice, before the show&#39;s season premiere.

Jerry Seinfeld did it again. He&#39;s earned the top spot as the world&#39;s highest-paid comedian of 2018, earning a total of about $57.5 million.

He's Chevy Chase and You're Not


Chevy chase


At 74 years old, Chevy Chase is not a baby boomer. However, our generation knows him well, whether you personally are a fan of his or not. Chase was an immediate hit, with New York magazine calling him the &quot;The funniest man in America&quot; and NBC executives referring to him as &quot;The first real potential successor to Johnny Carson&quot;. When Rolling Stone appraised all the SNL cast members to date in 2015, ranking Chase 14th, it admitted that Chase was probably under-rated, as it took the actor only one season to essentially define the franchise&#39;s style of humor.

Celebrity

Stellar Squad Unites for Beauty Campaign


Ladies, do you sometimes feel invisible or unrepresented in advertising. You&#39;re not alone, which is exactly why L&#39;Oreal Paris is launching a &#39;golden squad&#39; of stars over 50 to help challenge and change the perceptions on aging. 
We all might not be quite as gorgeous or stylish as some of these women, but we certainly can identify with the changes that come with aging. Fonda addresses the issue by saying: &#39;You have to be brave and not so invested in looking the way you used to but try to look as good as you can at the age that you are.&#39;

That&#39;s not the same as saying that you don&#39;t want to look good and Mirren points that out, adding &quot;I applaud L&rsquo;Or&eacute;al Paris for embracing the fact that women want to look as good as they can at whatever age that they are.&quot;

Embracing yourself seems to be the message here.

Baby Boomer's Size 16 Feet Hit the Dance Floor


Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (born 1947) made it through the first round of eliminations on this season of Dancing With the Stars. It&#39;s not easy to move that 7&#39;2&quot; frame and size 16 shoes around the dance floor. 
When he retired from professional basketball in 1989, Abdul-Jabbar held more records than anyone else in the NBA: most points scored, games played, minutes played, field goals, blocked shots, defensive rebounds, career wins and personal fouls. He&#39;s an author, publishing two autobiographies about his playing days as well as books the New York Times described as &quot;comprehensive history of African-American intellectual accomplishment, a memoir about growing up in the cultural shadow of the Harlem Renaissance and an admirably researched history of a black tank battalion that fought in World War II.&quot; The author of that article, Jay Caspian Kang, discovered that what the superstar had most wanted to be was a writer.

Why Are They Saying Farewell?


Enter a title

With people like Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Diana Ross, Dollie Parton, and Kenny Rogers crooning and touring well into their 70s, we have to ask why three of the all-time great musicians, composers, and performers have announced their careers are taking a turn toward retirement.
