For some reason I got it into my head that it was the 10th anniversary of Viagra this year, which is totally wrong: that was a year and a half ago. But by the time I realized that I had already become very excited about listing off the Top 5 most well-marinated sexpots in showbiz. With all the buzz about cougars and greyhounds of late, let's celebrate some mature stars that still bring it after five decades and counting.
5. Jack LaLanne
It's no surprise this 94-year-old fitness guru has been married for five decades. "When I make love I got one thing on my mind: to satisfy that
woman," LaLanne, who still works out for two hours daily, told Men's Journal this past April. "And to do that you’ve got to learn what a woman wants. We’re all
different, you know? So I find out what all her secrets are. I still
take care of my wife, but it’s not like when I was 21." Honesty and dedication: Jack, we admire your balls.
4. Helen Mirren
She was a starlet with a coke habit and grew up to play the Queen. Last year at 63, she looked like this in a bikini. Are there any flies on this Dame?
3. Tina Turner
Sold out in North America, the 70-year-old's 2008 Tina! tour made over $130 million worldwide. And, Ike's dead. Tina honey, you can wear whatever you want.
2. Clint Eastwood
Good call, GQ, in dubbing him 2009's "Badass of the Year." Michael Hainey's profile
is the most adoring of straight-guy love letters, well-accented by
Martin Schoeller's snaps (that's one above). He's won multiple Oscars
and is Hollywood royalty, but do you think Clint pays $300 for blue
jeans? We don't.
1. Katie Couric
This veteran journo can hold her own in any situation, whether that means
grilling Palin, sharing her shizzle with Lil Wayne or getting buckwild on the dancefloor at her own party. When a CBS anchor can get
musically mounted from the rear in public and go on to straight-facedly interview the president, it gives us all a reason to look forward to the other side of 50. Well done, Miss Katie. You are absolutely the Half-Century Hottie of the year.
