In a decade we do age, but not these celebrities
We do age pretty much in a decade but not these celebrities. TV personality Padma Lakshmi, nearing 50, is still hot. Even noted actors Reese and Jessica, who still 'has a lot of love for her tan lines, hoops and blonde days,' haven't aged even little. Meanwhile, anchor Jimmy Kimmel, staying true to his character, tweeted a hilarious one in response to this challenge.
