Ten Dirty Old(er) Men (and women)!
Celebrifi - 11th Aug 2008
James Woods: Celebrities get to do a lot of things us normal mortals can't. Some things, say, counting yachting as a hobby, are directly related the amount of money they haul in by the truckload every time they pretend to be someone else for a few hours. Others are because the world, as a whole, goes starry eyed and grants celebs carte blanche to live their lives as they see fit. Celebrifi now takes a look at one of these phenomena and the celebs who practice it: the fine art of cradle-robbin'! Here's our top ten list of the worst offenders in Hollywood!
Honorable MentionsOh so close! These folks almost made the list, but sadly, they are just never going to be able to catch up to the others. It doesn't work that way.
Jay-Z (Beyonce) - 12 Years
Brad Pitt (Angelina Jolie ) - 12 Years
Mariah Carey (Nick Cannon) - 11 Years - We definitely thought this gap would be wider.
Madonna & Guy Ritchie - 10 Years
Hall of FameThese dudes are now so old, it doesn't really matter anymore, so we left em out of our top ten.
Woody Allen (Soon-Yi Previn) - 35 Years
Donald Trump (Melania Knauss) - 24 Years
Ok, so without further ado, let's see who's the biggest cradle robber in Hollywood, or alternate title "Who to keep your little sister away from"
The Top Ten Cradle Robbers10. Milo Ventimiglia (Hayden Panetierre) - 12 YearsSurprised to see this one on here? Well don't be - there is in fact quite a gap here! Nobody seems to find this one skeevy - we even read an article recently about Hayden doing a cheerleader strip for her fellow, which was well received. Did you know she was 18 when they got together? Let me put this another way.
If a 30 year old man (say, a teacher) shows up at a high school prom and starts hitting on the girls, how do you feel about that?
9. Geena Davis (Reza Jarrahy) - 15 YearsNice,
Geena is the first lady on the list. Her hubby Reza is a civilian, a doctor in fact. Somehow it doesn't seem as bad when the lady's out in front?
8. Demi Moore (Ashton Kutcher) - 15 Years This is the one you were waiting for no? These two are the the hollywood poster couple for ignoring age when it come to pairing up, and they seem to be doing all right, despite seemingly being in different places in their lives. She's a twice divorced mother of 3, he PUNKS people. Think of the children! Actually - they're probably allright. Think of Bruce Willis! Poor bastard.
7.Tom Cruise (Katie Holmes) - 16 Years We (all) used to love Katie Holmes, back when she was cute, up and coming, doing cool movies. Her rise to fame hit a brick wall at
Tom Cruise, where Scientology would eventually turn her into a frumpy housewife.
Cruise is so fricking weird and brain washy I can't even focus on the age difference long enough to write about - there's too much couch jumping crazy in my head. Yes, he's cradle robbing, but that's the least of his offenses to Katie, and the rest of us.
6. Nicolas Cage (Alice Kim) - 21 years I think it is probably worse when the object of the cradle robbing is not at all famous them self. Yes, we have a double standard and
Geena Davis got a pass. As for
Nicolas Cage, Alice Kim was his waitress. She was 19 and he 40 when they got married (his third). Her parents must have loved that.
5. Harrison Ford (Calista Flockheart) - 22 Years There's something weird about #'s 5,6,7 on this list. It seems when men get to a certain age, and the age gap falls into this sweet spot of 20-26 years, people really don't give crap about it at all, and somehow it becomes totally normal, even though it could be a father-daughter relationship. Also, I refuse to say anything bad about either Han Solo or Indiana Jones.
4. Michael Douglas (Catherine Zeta Jones) - 25 Years I bet when this list started you thought he'd be #1, huh? Nope.
Douglas snapped up Zeta Jones at a time that she was arguably the absolute hottest actress in Hollywood, leaving everyone a bit stunned. She claims he used the line "I'd like to father your children." when they met, which doesn't sound like it would work, but since she's now popping out his babies, I guess we have to hand it to him - the old man knows what he's doing.
3. Rod Stewart (Penny Lancaster) - 26 Years It's a little creepy that
Rod's oldest child is 7 years older than his current wife, no? What? It's not? You're humming 'If you think I'm sexy' and don't really care about
Rod Stewart anyway? Fine, we'll move on.
2. Billy Joel (Katie Lee Joel) - 32 Years I think we are now firmly in the land of "that's gross". When this lovely couple was married, Katie Lee, a 'culinary artist' (wtf? uhhh chef) was 23 years old, and
Joel was 55. His daughter, 18 at the time and ex-wife Christie Brinkley both attended and blessed the union. Rich people are fricking weird.
1. James Woods (Ashley Madison) - 39 YearsJames Woods has a reputation in Hollywood for dating much younger women, and here he is keeping that reputation alive. Apparently one
James's golfing buddies had heard this rumor, and thought it would be a good idea to introduce him to his daughter. So there you go. 39 years. He's 61, she's 23. Well played sir, you are victorious!

The stars were out for the premiere of movie industry parody Tropic Thunder last night. Katie Holmes flew from her Broadway rehearsals in NY to LA in order to accompany her husband to the premiere.

"Indiana Jones 5" Won’t Center on Shia LaBeouf, Insists George Lucas
This past May, two weeks before “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” opened worldwide, George Lucas told reporters at the Cannes Film Festival that he already had an idea for a possible “Indiana Jones V,” and that it centered, not on Dr. Henry Jones, but on his son, Mutt Williams (Shia LaBeouf).
Three knife-flipping, tree-swinging, accident having months later and that idea? It’s kind of, well, “Nuked the Fridge,” Lucas told MTV News.
Asked whether he still considered Mut

Kutcher and Moore: Red (Shoe) Alert
Ashton Kutcher and wife Demi Moore are fashionably coordinated while stepping out Sunday in New York City. Kutcher is in town promoting his latest movie, What Happens in Vegas, with Cameron Diaz.
'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull': The Untold Story
Harrison Ford keeps his own hangar at the Santa Monica Municipal Airport. Among his inventory are a helicopter, a jet, and an immaculately painted blue-and-green biplane. He's a skilled pilot, and sometimes he goes for rides between earthly appointments. Today's a helicopter day. In fact, Ford's been out choppering around on this clear, calm mid-March afternoon, touching down only now to do an interview. Wearing jeans, a navy blue T-shirt, and dark aviator glasses, he strides across the landing area so purp
Demi Moore admits to bizarre beauty secret: 'I let leeches suck my blood'
Ageing actress Demi Moore has proved she's prepared to go to great lengths in an effort to feel revitalised, even by Hollywood standards.
The 46-year-old has revealed she is a fan of a detox treatment that involves being covering in blood-sucking leeches.
The star, who is married to actor Ashton Kutcher, 30, recently visited Austria to receive the "leech therapy".
While on a visit to New York to promote her new movie Flawless, the star told U.S. talk show host David Letterman: "I feel like I've
Exclusive: Katie Holmes Cruises to 'Eli Stone'
Yep, you read that headline correctly.
In arguably the biggest piece of stunt casting since How I Met Your Mother lassoed Britney Spears, sources confirm to me exclusively that Katie Holmes is returning to the small screen this fall on ABC's sophomore drama, Eli Stone. A spokesperson for the show declined to comment, but I'm told Suri's mama is on board for one episode.
The gig, which should give a nice boost to the critically-adored but marginally-rated series, marks a reunion between Holmes and her

Indiana Jones and the hunt for memorabilia: No. 1 fan Harrison Ford scoops up his own action figures

Harrison has again pulled on his his leather jacket and picked up his bullwhip for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of th
Review: 'Indiana Jones' wields enough snap to satisfy
It has been nearly two decades, and Indiana Jones is a bit more grizzled. But his witty banter is still decidedly intact.
In Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (* * ½ out of four), he uses his wits and still-considerable brawn to fend off an atomic bomb, ruthless KGB agents, roiling rapids, flesh-eating insects and angry Peruvian natives. And he tangles again with his most hated nemesis: the snake.
Right about the time the natives get restless, however, so do we. But the excitement pi

Dr. Drew Apologizes for Saying Tom Cruise Suffers From "Neglect"
Dr. Drew Pinsky "meant no harm" to Tom Cruise when he told Playboy that the actor's interest in Scientology is "a function of a very deep emptiness and suggests serious neglect in childhood – maybe some abuse but mostly neglect," his rep tells Usmagazine.com.
"[Dr. Drew] apologizes if his comments were hurtful," the rep says.
In response to Pinsky's remarks to Playboy, Cruise's attorney Bert Fields told the New York Post that Pinksy is an "unqualified television performer who is obviously just looki
Ashton Kutcher: Getting Close to Bruce Willis Wasn’t Easy
Ashton Kutcher admits it wasn’t easy warming up to Demi Moore’s ex Bruce Willis.
“I just had to get over my ego, which was screaming, ‘This guy used to sleep with your woman,’ Kutcher says in the April issue of Harper’s Bazaar. “And I listened instead to the little voice inside that was whispering, ‘This guy loves and cares about your woman.’
“Once I did that, it was a cakewalk,” he adds.

Capturing Heroes’ Milo Ventimiglia on the Page
I have four different drawings of Milo Ventimiglia to share with you. No, I didn’t draw them. I wish! Ha. They are all equally great, and they all capture a different aspect and picture of him. Drawing someone so that they’re recognizable can be a very difficult task. If you think it’s easy, go try it! In the meantime, let’s look at these amazing drawings.

Some say that Pathology is a window to God. As doctors, they see the perversion and corruption of the flesh by all means unnatural...by violence...by toxin...by madness...to determine the cause of death. As a result they are the experts in all signs of foul play and the best in the field can uncover all means of killing, even those that are seemingly undetectable.

He's wealthy enough for the money not to matter, but Rod Stewart is weighing up lucrative offers of several million pounds to write his autobiography.
So what life story will thrice-married Stewart, 63, tell? It is certain to be wildly entertaining, for he has a talent for telling tales against himself.
His passions for "birds", beer and football verge on self-parody. When asked after one of his divorces if he still believed in matrimony, he said: "Instead of getting married again, I'm going to find

Hayden Panettiere opens up to Seventeen Magazine on her type of guy, how her words are interpreted and her close relationship with Hilary Duff.
On what she looks for in a guy:
“I have to be with someone who’s driven. When they’re not, it becomes difficult. In a lot of relationships, you get in and you spend every waking moment with that person. But I’ve figured out that the healthiest relationship is where you each have your own life, but they meet in a nice point in the middle.”
