Beauties and Their Boy Toys+
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}When Sharon Stone goes young, she doesn’t mess around! The 51-year-old actress is rumored to have dated a 24 year-old dude this past summer. With that 27 year difference, that puts Stone at risk of dying early at more than 20 percent compared to a woman who's with a man her own age, according to the study. (Reuters )
Susan Sarandon, 63, recently split with partner of 23 years Tim Robbins (12 years her junior), and is <a href="http://entertainment.blogs.foxnews.com/2010/01/04/susan-sarandon-jonathan-bricklin-tim-robbinsping-pong-spin/" target="_blank">rumored to be ravishing a 31 year-old</a> ping pong club investor. With a difference of 32 years between them... the odds are not looking good for the Oscar-winning actress.
The socialite reportedly went straight from The Donald to an actor 36 years her junior! The one-time host of a reality show called ‘Ivana Younger Man’ then married a guy 24 years younger than her in 2008. They divorced the following year. According to researchers, it would be in her best interest to find someone her own age the next time around. "The greater the age difference, the lower the wife's life expectancy," Sven Drefahl of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Germany, said. "The best choice for a woman is to marry a man of exactly the same age."
<a href="http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2010/01/06/mariah-carey-embarrasses-stage-refuses-turn/" target="_blank">Forever-young Mariah Carey</a>, 41, has a juvenile prince charming in 29 year-old husband Nick Cannon. But, if these researchers are correct, they may not live happily ever after. They found a woman who bags a man seven to nine years younger than her is 20 percent more likely to die than someone married to a man her own age.
Is it a mid-life crisis? After her divorce from Hulk, 51 year-old Linda Hogan took up with a teenager! Charlie Hill, 19 when they started dating last year, was <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2009/05/07/brooke-hogan-opens-mom-dating-girls-body/" target="_blank">a classmate of Linda’s kids</a>. This is a relationship decision the researchers would definitely not approve of. In fact, they found that having a relationship with a younger man may mean more stress for women because they are "violating social norms and thus suffer from social sanctions," which could result in a more stressful life.
Life imitates art for Kim Cattrall, or is it the other way around? The ‘Sex and the City’ vixen, 54, whose character liked 'em young on the hit HBO show, dated a 28 year-old Canadian chef and has been linked to young basketball players Steve Francis and Cuttino Mobley. But, Cattrall might want to curb her appetite for younger men if she wants to live a long life. Depending the age difference, researchers say the actress could increase her risk of dying by at least 15 percent.
Former ‘Dynasty’ star Joan Collins, 77, reportedly hooked up with art dealer Robin Hurlstone, 25 years her junior. Collins then increased the age gap and married theater manager Percy Gibson, who is 32 years younger than her, which probably wasn't the best move. According to researchers, her latest nuptials increased her risk of dying to more than 30 percent.
Possibly the most famous cougar of all - mom of three Demi Moore scored the ultimate boy toy in pretty husband Ashton Kutcher, 15 years her junior. We probably don't need to say it again - but the odds aren't looking good for the actress, according to the study. Like the researcher said, when a cougar weds someone more than 15 years younger than her, she is more than 30 percent more likely to die than someone married to a man her own age.
Fifty-one year-old <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2009/10/16/madonnas-ex-lover-furious-pathetic-new-tell/" target="_blank">Madonna </a>said goodbye to Guy, and wasted no time picking up a new boy toy, model Jesus Luz, who was then 22. Other younger lovers include original baby daddy Carlos Leon (eight years her junior), and rumored beaus David Blaine (14 years younger) and A-Rod (16 years younger.) She could open a boy toy store! The bottom-line, having a relationship with a younger man may mean more stress for women because they are "violating social norms and thus suffer from social sanctions," which could result in a more stressful life, researchers said. They also found younger men tend to be less inclined to look after their aging wives. And cougars are more likely to be seen as predatory — making it less likely for them to maintain friends and dependents, another factor researchers suggested could explain their findings. (AP )
