How certain substances affect the aging process: George Takei

[1monster]

[roguevalley]

1. amazing what bad choices can do to you. Love me some Picard. :D

[Kalidurga]

2. Holy Cra*

I didn't know Patrick Stewart was a vampire. Sorry running joke me and my youngest have. We say stars that don't appear to age are vampires. I don't know how Patrick Stewart got under my radar. Dang, he looks good.

[whistler162]

4. I keep asking one of my cousins where

she keeps her painting. Maybe in the attic like Dorian Grey did?

[backscatter712]

29. Or as the Faces of Meth pictures show...

Meth and cocaine affect you like Dorian Grey in reverse!

[pipoman]

3. I thought this was a link to those meth pics again..

I'll have to give EG a go..

[whistler162]

5. One good reason to stay away from.....

Earl Grey Tea..... shudder!

[BlueJazz]

6. Mr. Stewart looks like the same guy that gained about 4 kilos.

[muriel_volestrangler]

7. Hell, Patrick Stewart, 1974:

[Warpy]

39. He's one of those fortunate people who looks better as he gets older

Hillary Clinton is another one. Sometimes Father Time is really kind to people.

Most often, he's a real bastard.

[tblue]

9. Poor girl!

Hope she gets herself the help she needs. She at least can afford it.

[ReRe]

10. She won't.....

...I think she's self-destructing before our eyes. I wish she could pull herself together, but I think she's too far gone. And there doesn't seem to be anyone close to her that really cares for her. She needs to take a break for a few years and get some serious long-term therapy, both physical and mental. Lindsie definitely needs to stay away from her horrid dysfunctional family.

[Freddie]

12. She's going to be the next "shocking celebrity death"

Sure hope not but would not be surprising.

[ReRe]

14. Kind of like a..

...Marilyn Monroe story, but worse.

[arikara]

37. I feel so much compassion for that girl

Another child star self destructing for the tabloids.

Wasn't she a disney kid too?

[ReRe]

44. I don't know if..

...she was a Disney kid. Britney was, but thank God she appears to have pulled herself together...

[siligut]

11. Cocaine AND alcohol

And the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Then to keep her weight down, she probably didn't eat.

Patrick Stewart is just an adorable man.

[RandiFan1290]

13. Takei always has the best Facebook updates

I've urged several friends to add him. He is a wonderful man

[tavalon]

25. While this one isn't funny, George Takai is wicked funny

[backscatter712]

30. The sad thing is that Lohan would probably look pretty good...

if she laid off the sauce and the nose-powder, cleaned herself up and got a makeover.

[Kurovski]

15. So, Earl Gray is some kinda bud?

Where can I get a sample spliff?

[longship]

23. Always taken with lemon, not milk.

Cultural reference there.

[tavernier]

32. I actually prefer it with milk and sugar.

Gives it a chocolaty taste. No, it doesn't curdle, contrary to some opinions.

[longship]

33. ;-) Mine was a DaVinci Code allusion.

[A Simple Game]

40. Never with lemon, lemon is an abomination in any tea, especially iced tea.

I feel the same way about sugar and milk.

[DavidDvorkin]

47. Iced tea is an abomination.

[DavidDvorkin]

24. It's disgusting stuff

Avoid it.

[Kurovski]

43. I once accidentally dropped a box of green tea in the dishwater.

Is that the recipe?

[DavidDvorkin]

46. No, that's not the recipe, but I bet it duplicated the taste fairly well.

[DavidDvorkin]

16. Amusing, but it's the character who drinks Earl Grey tea

Do we know what Patrick Stewart drinks?

[Honeycombe8]

17. Anyone who looks that healthy at his age must live a healthy lifestyle.

I'll look it up. Surely he's been asked about it.

I just looked him up...turns out he had cardiac trouble a few years ago. He's about 71 years old. So.....

[DavidDvorkin]

19. He certainly looks healthy

But perhaps he stays healthy by drinking a pint of bitter every day!

[AtheistCrusader]

41. He's actually fairly ripped too.

For a guy in his 70's.

[DavidDvorkin]

42. Yes, he is

So his secret isn't Earl Grey tea, all.

[OnyxCollie]

21. He drinks the blood of young girls, a la Countess Bathory.

And on occasion, a cup of Earl Grey with honey.

[muriel_volestrangler]

26. The nearest I can find is that he suggested Piccard should drink Lapsang Souchong

but the producers thought no-one would have heard of it: http://nicky_smith.tripod.com/neon.html

[DavidDvorkin]

31. Darjeeling would have been a good choice

Good Darjeeling is adored by many, and viewers would have heard the name before.

[Posteritatis]

18. Takei himself seems to have largely forgotten how to age, too. (nt)

[Motown_Johnny]

20. Chicken Cacciatora (Maybe)

Sophia Loren's Chicken Cacciatora



Ingredients
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1, 3 to 3 1/2 pound chicken, cut into 8 serving pieces (2 wings, 2 legs, 2 thighs, and each breast cut in half crosswise)
1 medium onion, peeled, halved, and thinly sliced
1 large red pepper, sliced into 1/2-inch strips
1/2 cup dry white wine
3/4 teaspoon salt
Big pinch hot red pepper flakes
2 cups canned plum tomatoes, well drained and coarsely chopped
1/3 cup torn basil leaves
Directions
In a 10 to 12 inch saute pan with cover, heat the oil over medium high heat, and when it is hot, brown the chicken on the skin side first, then the underside. Do not crowd the pan. Brown the chicken in batches if necessary, setting aside the browned chicken on a plate until the rest is done.

When the first few pieces of chicken are almost browned and still in the pan, add the onion red pepper, saute until tender.

[arikara]

36. Well maybe that as well as a bit of

tweaking here and there. Although I must say her plastic surgery turned out better than most. Nowadays they all seem to have frozen faces and duck lips aka trout pouts. They kind of make my stomach queasy to look at them.

[tabasco]

22. George and Patrick both have what it takes to age well

Good hearts (not the organ but the soul).

[Prometheus Bound]

27. Who's the cocaine person? Everyone seems to know but me.

[1monster]

28. Lindsey Lohan. NT

[ananda]

34. Oilpulling might help.

..

[Mrs. Overall]

35. Patrick Stewart--he's always been my main Hollywood crush!

[juajen]

38. I read an interview with her on some magazine.

She says she has never had plastic surgery. I wish I could remember the magazine. I believe it was an article that listed stars that had refrained from surgery, one of them was Sophia and I believe one of the others was the amazing Tina Turner. Anybody remember reading this?

[HiPointDem]

45. patrick stewart admits to having had plastic surgery. hilary clinton, sophia loren have also had

plastic surgery, as has lindsay lohan.

it's funny when people laud celebrities for their youthful appearances & credit 'good genes & healthy living'.

There are few people in entertainment who don't resort to plastic, & these days even politicians are doing the same.

[otohara]

48. Mean

Oh ha ha ... Talented young girl has substance problems... Robert Downey turned his life around and looks fine.
