Dionne Warwick and cutie actor Lee Mead as they appeared Thursday at a presser to launch World Hunger Day at the Apollo Victoria Theatre in London. On World Hunger Day, January 9th 2011, Dionne will warble at a benefit concert for the Hunger Project, a global charity in 13 countries working toward the sustainable end of world hunger.
Nice.
Here’s Dionne in 2004.

Gayle King and her orange hair popped up at the US Open in Queens, where the O buddy looked a little troubled in her Lucite necklace. What do her eyes say?
This is probably the expression Oprah sees when Gayle silently tells her not to eat that slice of pie.
And yes, you can make your own joke there.

During WWII, many women wore scarf turbans to protect them in the workplace, like this ordnance worker who’s imagining her soldier while she works on some type of gun.
What’s it going to take to bring back this look? Don’t say war.

The Eagle & Badge Foundation Gala brought out the heavy hitters on Saturday night in Beverly Hills… like wacky Ruta Lee, who appeared pretty in pink, including a devastating pink ostrich jacket. Ruta was not to be outdone by songwriter Carol Connors.
Carol wore her best “How Will I Know You?” party outfit, including a gold lame top, Guatemalan necklace and matching earrings from Santee Alley, and a cartoon octopus updo. Fabulous, right?
Miss America 1959, Mary Ann Mobley, 71, looked positively enchanting in chandelier earrings, Chiclet veneers and what appears to be a fresh blepharoplasty… with makeup by Baby Jane Hudson. Her husband, former TV host and recent drunk driving arrestee Gary Collins brought his A game.
I’m not sure what’s going on with Gary. Perhaps an open bar… it’s hard to say, as his expression is a perfect blend of surprise and terror, which was exactly my expression upon seeing his photo.
Not to be forgotten, Cheryl Tiegs appeared with a spectacular fleshtone lipstick fail. Ladies, take note — this look doesn’t work on anyone. Cheryl, who has had four husbands (none currently), will be 63 in September.

Jackie DeShannon is 66 today! Here she is on Shindig, from 1965… with choreography by the American Psychiatric Association.
And now, Celebritweets Theatre.
Another cartoon, why of course! It’s Saturday… here’s one from Mark Fiore.
Marsha Hunt, in a rare singing turn in 1941′s “Unholy Partners” — watch for Edward G. Robinson to pop up! Marsha is still with us… she’ll be 93 in October. I love her in “Smash-Up, The Story of a Woman.” The gawker is William T. Orr, who married Jack Warner’s stepdaughter, Joy Page, giving rise to the phrase “The son-in-law also rises.”

When an octogenarian sex expert tells you that the internets are bad for keepin’ it real, perhaps we should prick up our ears, or prick up something.
In an interview with AP to discuss her upcoming documentary project on minority groups in Israel, Dr. Ruth Westheimer, 82, cautioned that social networking and other online tools are replacing real intimacy. Real intimacy? Memba that?
“It is a catastrophe, all of this virtual being together,” said the tiny sex doc. “I think there are people who get hooked on the internet. If they need to look at explicitly sexual material to be aroused there is a problem … I am worried that the next generation will not be able to have a real conversation.” Like, awesome, I know, right?
Dr. Ruth added that it was all part of a trend of “more openness but less intimacy.”
