It's official! Age is irrelevant... when it comes to women and beauty that is. Who has THE HOTTEST bikini-clad hard body at this very moment? It's 48 year-old Valerie Bertinelli on the cover of People looking way hotter than she ever did during her peak, One Day at a Time, sitcom days in the '70s.
Who are both men and women getting in a lather about at this minute? It's nude 43 year-old supermodel Cindy Crawford, photographed in nothing but suds for Allure magazine. Her pics have been responsible for over 400,000 page views and hundreds of comments on this site alone in the past couple of days.
Just whose sexy toned biceps have been talked about even more than the new bank rescue plan? 45 year-old Michelle Obama's. Who's got the best legs in America and happens to be our nations' most eligible bachelorette? No contest, it's Jen Aniston, 40. And honestly, do we really care about the trials and tribulations of Lauren Conrad or Paris Hilton's lovelives the way we care about Jen's? Finding Jen's Mr. Right is right up there as a far more enduring national obsession than, say, deploring the Octomom.
Need more evidence that Age has gone the way of the dinosaur? It used to be that the standard Hollywood refrain for Hollywood actresses was that there were boohoo, no good roles, for them, moan moan, over the age of 40. As for magazines: cover models used to be doomed once they hit 30.
And if an actress became a mother, it was the kiss of death, instantly zapping their sex appeal. Society was like Elvis, who couldn't get hot and bothered for Priscilla once she gave birth to Lisa Marie.
Now here's the new evidence: Julia Roberts mom of three, 41, is the much admired star of the new crime thriller, Duplicity. Meryl Streep, 59, and Nicole Kidman, 41, still can't keep up with the roles they're offered. Michelle Pfeiffer, 50, stars as the ultimate cougar courtesan in the soon-to-be released film Cheri. Courtney Cox, 44, is also starring in a new sitcom, appropriately entitled, Cougartown. Salma Hayek, 42, and Sandra Bullock, 44, just rocked on the last two covers of In Style magazine. Oh, and Calista Flockhart, 44, is to be Hollywood's latest blushing bride after finally bringing Harrison Ford to his knees.
Call them cougars or call them MILFS, just don't call them over. Let's discuss Demi Moore, 
46, and Madonna, 50. The two Kabbalists are the envy of younger women everywhere. Demi, for her sexy, un-plastic-surgery-looking looks and devoted 15 years-younger, GORGEOUS husband, Ashton Kutcher, 31, who Twittered this shot of her over the weekend, and Madonna for her rock hard body and years younger lovers, A-Rod, 33, and Jesus Luz, 22.
Now, let's just contrast all this hotness and intrigue with the slew of bland 20-somethings, trying to compete to get on magazine covers and into the nation's consciousness. Megan Fox, Jessica Alba, Heidi Montag, Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway, Blake Lively, Audrina Patridge, Jessica Biel, and even Kim Kardashian, -- do they honestly have even the depth of deep hotness and complexity as our 40-somethings?
Perhaps, the most astounding evidence of our national love affair with the 40-plus woman was illustrated in the Sarah Palin phenomenon. She was 44, a mother of five, and an outspoken conservative, but even her detractors had to admit that she was a Babe with a capital B. Men wanted to take off her glasses and let down her French twist. Women wanted to buy her glasses and turn their dos in her French twist.
And finally, when we learned all the lurid details behind the made-for-tabloid divorce between ever-gorgeous cover girl Christie Brinkley, 55, and her cheatin', lyin' cad of a husband, Peter Cook, the biggest question of all was -- how could he leave HER for a 19 year-old? Now that was a headscratcher!

While all women are beautiful let's be honest. Youth is king. Hollywood films have fabricated this notion that younger guys are more attracted to older women then girls their own age. Come on!!! Young women have not been defeated by the affects of gravity and aging. And the idea of Cindy Crawford being hotter than Jessica Alba is just plain silly, at any age.
As 41 yr designer single mother of three, who still gets carded and who people get mixed up with her 20yr old daughter....all without fancy surgeries or extra money to exfoliate my skin twice daily....all I can say is "Thank you Bonnie !" I think this article ROCKS and I say to those who think its all celebs who can rock it after 40 because they can afford it and have had tons of surgery....phewwwy on you...plenty of sexy everyday women nationwide who are over 40 and smokin....and all natural....celebs just happen to sell magazines.......
I'm looking forward to being 100, white hair and gumming oatmeal each day. By that time all the clothes I wore 50 years ago (if I keep them) will be back in style. If I'm really lucky, I will be a little hard of hearing so that when the evening news comes up - it will sound like Morse code!

Yet another article that celebrates the fetish with looking hot forever. How about 50 is 50, and there's nothing wrong with that?
why the heck does it always have to be a contest or label of age? Some people look better when they are older, and some younger. There are 45 year old women who take care of themselves (working out, eating right, non smokers) who look amazing and some 25 year olds who tan every day (face looks like leather) chain smoke and look gross. Vice versa there are some really amazing looking 25 year olds and not so great 45 year olds. Age is just a number, why are we so fixated on it? We all are 25, all hopefully go into 45 and beyond. I would much rather see it played out that no men do not so gracefully age compared to women (than women on women competitions) I have seen more bad looking men then women. We need to stop allowing men to continue brainwashing society so that it is somehow ok for them to date way younger women and not vice versa.. That is changing however as it should. People are all individuals!!!!!!
So if 40 something women are so much hotter than 20 something women... Why do all the women featured in this article spend thousands on thousands of dollars trying to look like 20 somethings?
If all they do is try to look like they are in their 20s, and you're calling them hot for this, then isn't 20 something the ideal?
Its not realistic to try to look like you're in your 20s forever. Also, I wouldn't group Michelle Obama with those other women... As they are all celebs who seem fixated on looking like a teenager forever. Michelle, always looks elegant, dresses age-appropriately, and doesn't appear to be a plastic surgery freak.
let's be honest here, they may be 40+ plus, but come on, they've all been pretty hot all their lives. I mean Halle Berry? You can't make her not hot (Monsters Ball?) Show me middle america fourties on the covers of People, and let's talk.
Thought I would post something that did not have to do with politics or the economy.
Go MILFS!
"M.I.L.F" has been coined a long time ago. I first heard the term in 1992, freshman year in college. Since then 40 somethings have been more appealing but that is a small percentage. We are in a sexist society where baggage for women is more apparant- men don't have baggage, it's called "personality lines". Most women look different and evolve from age 19 to 25. Once their looks set in than look out. Those fabulous women mentioned are part of a small minority that look better than most 20 year olds.
I love how this article is supposed to be about how 40 year olds are hotter...
...yet most of the older women featured here have admitted to extensive botox and plastic surgery. Add to that personal trainers, hair colorists and stylists, and clothing and make up stylists.
So what again is the point of this article? Women in their 40s are hotter...if they have enough money to take twenty years off their looks?
i don't think this article was thought through very well.
Then tell me, why is it that a lot of 40ish and up men tend to go for the 20 somethings? To train them? To pull the wool over their eyes? To feel superior? D all of the above? Especially if the men have money. I agree finding a spark or equal is hard to do at any age, but a man who is 40ish and above should enjoy a woman who knows what they like and want in comparison to a 20ish who does not. And for those of us who have been there knows. At 20ish, a woman will change a great deal in all aspects of the word by the time she is 40ish and beyond.
it would be awesome if we could celebrate the beauty of women at all ages. this 'who is hotter' context is ridiculous, unecessary and reminds me of being in high school with the popular girls. i would love to be graceful and classy with killer abs at the age of 40, but it shouldn't be a contest. these are two very different periods in our lives. maybe instead of comparing looks, we should focus on building each other up and getting rid of the idea that women need to be oozing sex appeal to be interesting.
Thank you. Well put.
Salma Hayek is by FAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR the hottest!!!
Need lots hard work to get your abs and body in perfect shape. All of whom mentioned here on the page have put in lots of work to get that dreamy figure.
When do I get permission to get fat and old?
Heavy sigh.
I'm both inspired and weary when I see Valerie Bertinelli on the cover of People. I guess there are no more excuses now. If Valerie can get off the couch, I guess I'll have to do the same.
