Call off the dogs! Apparently, turning 40 isn’t the worst thing ever anymore. Now that a number of our favorite female stars have turned forty and are still finding work, it’s easier than ever to rationalize being honest about your age. And it gets better! You can even feel good about yourself beyond the big 4-0.

Mariah Carey just did it — do you see her crying?

Of course not. Husband Nick Cannon — 12 years her junior — just whisked her off to Barbados and Miami for the big day. The songstress still showed she could party like her 20 something counterparts at Cabana One in Coconut Grove until dawn.

Jennifer Aniston did it too — in February. With the wheat blond hair, trim body and crinkle-free baby blues, the actress looks better than she did in her Friends days. There’s an air of victorious sophistication that’s settled in now. Her face tells a story: I’ve married and divorced Brad Pitt, been publicly humiliated and still emerged as American royalty.

Cindy Crawford recently used Allure as some kind of comeback vehicle. Seeing her 43-year-old naked body swathed in nothing but shaving cream was cause for celebration. Forget furniture, start hawking lingerie.

Fellow ’80s supermodel Linda Evangelista, also 43, improves with time. Can a face get any more chiseled?

And the queen of the sexy 40-somethings — new mom Halle Berry, 42, just bared (almost all) in a beach-side photo shoot for her new eponymous perfume. Nice wet T-shirt. Are you sure you didn’t have a surrogate deliver your kid? Halle-lujah! [Source]

So forty is the new twenty, which means that I’m still in diapers. Goodie. Now if someone could just point me towards my bottle.

Cindy Crawford is 43 and she looks better than most twenty-year olds. There’s nothing to do about it other than enjoy her sheer physical perfection in these shots from the Anti-Aging issue of Allure magazine. In the accompanying interview, Cindy admits that even she has to take diet into consideration and it sounds like Crawford leads a pretty healthy lifestyle.

Supermodel Cindy Crawford makes a point of eating ice cream in front of her daughter, to make sure she doesn’t have food and weight issues. Cindy is worried that her daughter Kaia will develop obsessive dieting habits unless she learns that even her thin mother indulges in snacks and treats.

The mother of two (daughter Kaia, 7, and son Presley, 9) says she has to exercise restraint while snacking, but enjoys the occasional sweet for her children’s sake.

She says, “I do want my kids to see their mom eating normally. If we go for ice cream I might get the tiny size but I’ll eat it. I don’t want my daughter to think she can’t eat ice cream.” [Source]

Here’s yet another tabloid cover about “stars with cellulite”. The National Enquirer published some new bikini pictures of celebrities showing off their dimpled thighs and legs - Mischa Barton, Janice Dickinson, Cindy Crawford and Ellen DeGeneres. I know the one on the left with the “Guess who?” caption is Phoebe Price, but does anyone know who’s the one on the bottom right?
