Hey, I didn't get an LJ notification for this. *frowns* Hopefully that's the only one I've missed.
Last year, the cast of House was featured and Hugh's 50, I think, and Lisa's in her 40's, so it's not just teen stars like RPattz and KStew that are featured but I agree, in general, the lists are pretty age-ist. This one has people like Meryl Streep, Michelle Pfeiffer [Stardust! *squees*] and Diane Lane but in a separate division 'age-defying beauties'. So they don't get included with the other beauties, they've gotta specifically break them down by age in order to represent people in their late 40s or 50s. A separate list, 'beauty at every age', has people like Sharon Stone, Kim Cattrall and- Mimi Rogers, lol. Wow, Jane Seymour and Cybill Shepherd are OLD but they so don't look 58 and 59 respectively, they're still quite beautiful.
these lists are more about popularity than beauty.
ITA. Taylor Swift was in there and I don't think she's pretty. She could be but she's always looking like she smells something bad, it's off-putting.
