Cindy Adams: Forget Wikipedia, I'm Not 83!

New York Post gossip columnist Cindy Adams — who has written about taking on Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales before, but didn't divulge why — came clean in her column today: Wikipedia says she was born in 1925, and she swears she's not 83!

She writes:

P.S. from C.A.: Modern culture trashes everyone. Years back "SNL" zinged my husband and me. I'm told recently The Observer incorrectly observed I'm an octogenarian. That stems from garbage which Wikipedia's founder won't correct despite proof to the contrary. This founder - now looking to stick his icky Wiki into global marketing although the thing fosters lies - said to me only: "Untrue stuff about you might've been posted by someone who doesn't like you." So fix it?! No.

Wikipedia lists her birthday as April 24, 1925, but in September 2007, Radar listed her as 76.

Update Cityfile, which has Cindy as 78 in their listing for her, sends over the following voter registration records proving that Cindy was born in 1930 (and that she's a registered Republican):

Cindy you mean your OLDER!!!!!! Thought so.

[NoSillyName]

Gee, I'm so glad that has been resolved.

[Special K]

Who???

[supergranny]

Age is nothing but a number to those who enjoy geratric sex & other erotic activity among the aged. There may be snow on the roof but fire in the furnace of lust.

[peskime]

Ewwwww,
I just threw up a littlein my mouth

[PrinceHal]

Meow, meow, meow!

After all this, I'm sure Cindy wishes she'd never brought it up.

And Barbara Walters seconds the motion.

Her pic is on the back of all Fossil watches.

That's a lot of space between her eyebrows and her hairline for a woman of any age beyond 6 months.

a) wiki is user generated content, so, if she wants it changed, she can change it

b) who is she?

c) she doesn't look a day over 81

Forget Palin, the GOP should have picked this smokin' hot babe for their campaign! She looks GREAT at whatever age she is at.

Cindy, you are a Hot Mama! And don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

[SpoxLogic]

Hey now! Make up can do wonders. As evidence, I give you - Barbara Walters. On TV she looks alright, but in person? Let's just say that you need a very strong constitution not to run away screaming about "zombies"!

[Myshkin57]

A gossip columnist? Now that's someone who adds something to the world. I don't begrudge her, but why is anything about her life news?

[MrWampler]

Um... should HuffPo be posting her address?

[planetjeffy]

It's ok. On Park Ave. she has a doorman or three to protect her.

[aznurse]

I always get confused was she married to John Quincy or Samuel

[KarateKid]

LOL. John Quincy

[deevee]

But for a time, Samuel did come courting

[alicetilden]

I just clicked on the article because I was wondering who the heck she was and why I should care. Now I know and I still don't care if she's 25 or 125.

83,78-When you are that old what difference does it make?

[Imzadi]

Who outside New Yawk, and even in New Yawk, gives a flying flounder?
