  12. Heine says:

    My mind is blown by that Maya Angelou LeAnn Rimes shit. I can’t wrap my head around that.

  19. the original bellaluna says:

    Lainey, why OH WHY would you say that to us?!? What have we ever done to you? I need to go scrub my mind with bleach. And Brillo pads. And some sort of anti-fungal.

    Duchess looks like some sort of animal burn victim.

    Nia Long is so freakin’ beautiful.

  20. Heavenbound says:

    I thought Donatella Versace was the ugliest woman in the world….. Until I got introduces to this creature!

  21. Lady D says:

    The waiing for the ring forum is kinda funny. One poster was bitching about the fact that most of the weddings they attended fizzled within a year. They said “If I’d applied the Miss Manners rule of waiting 1 year to send the gifts, I’d have saved a TON.”
    I did not know this rule existed. I too would have saved money. I say we bring it back.
    When I ran at 17, I used my first paycheck to buy a stuffed animal, a pair of jeans and book on manners. Miss Manner’s book to be exact. All things I had wanted for so long. I’m never going to forget my first on-my-own paycheck.

  22. madpoe says:

    CMON! I thought “The Walking Dead” starts on October 16th! Get my hopes up like that!!!

    @Helen I thought it was Wildenstein! lol. I can’t blink! Why can’t I blink!?

  23. Judy says:

    Yes, she looks like a walking corpse…very hard to even look at. He’s JUST 61? I am only slightly older than he is and look 20 years younger. ICK.

  24. Rita says:

    @brin

    “Crypt robber” LMAO!!!!!!

  25. Alex says:

    We all know that she will top FHM’s Sexiest Woman Alive list in 2012…

  26. Alex says:

    (Assuming that she is alive and not a corpse with a stick up its ass).

  27. brin says:

    LOL@madpoe!
    *waving to Rita, bellaluna, Jezi & all*

  28. S says:

    He is blind, right? Or very farsighted.
    Just OMG. And once ( around 1900) she was really nice looking.

  29. Jezi says:

    @brin Hey girl.

  33. Firecracker says:

  34. Freya says:

    Her children were all against this marriage, but she gave them plenty, including a palace each, before she married, so they don’t have to worry about her husband taking everything.

  35. Cheyenne says:

    She and Wildenstein look like twins.
    *shudder*

  36. JaneWonderfalls says:

  41. Stubbylove says:

    That’s the freakiest looking chick I’ve ever seen – seriously – holy shit that face is frightening. And the dude she married looks like, “let’s get this the hell over with” [insert very snobby British accent] in that last photo.

  42. Shannon says:

    Man, she’s got game.

  43. daisydoodle says:

    @Shannon, not only has she “got game” she also has what’s most important….she “got bank”

  48. Lucy says:

    I say if that guy has sex with that creature, he DESERVES all her money…

  49. Mairead says:

    apropos nothing – RIP Steve Jobs 🙁

  50. ViloDeMenus says:

    You are too kind. While obscenely rich and a regular on the best dressed lists worldwide, there has never been one day in this woman’s life when she’s been anything close to gorgeous. Her children were so angry about the marriage, believing the groom to be a gold digger only out for her money, that the Duchess gave most of her real estate and money to her family trust. In his case he’ll live well only while she’s alive and get what she tucks away for him out of her vast allowance. Damn nosy kids! I read at one time she owned so much real estate in Spain she could cross the country never leaving her own personal land. She’s kind of interesting when you read about her, she also claims to be of much higher royal standing than the Queen of England and she might be right.

  51. Kelsey says:

    You gotta love all the bashing about the Duchess’s looks.

    Because money is everything, right? That man must be a gold-digger, because it must be IMPOSSIBLE for him to actually like her aside from her money, right? I didn’t know every person who marries an older spouse are all cut from the same mold, that they’re all gold-diggers and that there’s no room for actual love in the equation.

    Most people love to look only at the superficial and expect anyone else to have an ulterior motive for being in a relationship with someone who is old, or ugly, or not smart, etc.

    The Duchess of Alba is in control of her own life, at 85 years old. She’s still competent, her fun personality is still there, and she’s led (and continues to live) an interesting life. She’s an indomitable woman.

    Most of us would probably be in nursing homes having no idea who we are, what are we doing there, and will always be left wondering why our kids don’t visit us. How many of us will even live until 85 and still have control over our own lives?

    So congrats to the Duchess for doing everything her way, and not surrendering her love so she can have other people’s approval. She did it once, when she was young. She loved another man, but was forced to marry a person belonging to her “class”. That marriage gave the Duchess a lot of unhappiness.

    So now she’s marrying someone she loves and who seems to support her and love her and makes her happy. Good for her.

  52. fabchick says:

    Bless her heart, I cant say anything negative about the elderly. Kimmy K take note, leave your face alone.

  53. Trashaddict says:

    In the header photo he looks like his balls are shrinking back into his belly. But I imagine the proposal went something like this: “Dear, I’m fabulously wealthy but lonely. Why don’t you marry me, talk to me and have dinner with me once in a while, you can keep your little girlfriends or nieces or boyfriends or what-have-you on the side, and I’ll keep you in suits and you can go on nice trips as long as you don’t forget to call and visit and rub my back once in a while.” —
    “Okeydoke, duchess!”

  54. Flan says:

    Didn’t know who she was, so read up on her.

    She apparantly is the noble with the most titles in the world.

    And @Dlisted; it’s not exactly hard to do more than Waity every day.

  55. liv says:

    she’s descended from king James ii & iv of England, Scotland and Ireland. she actually holds more royal titles than anyone else in the world. another interesting note, is that her first marriage took place one month before queen’s Elizabeth & Philip’s wedding, and the duchess totally stole their thunder. it was the most expensive wedding of the world at the time.

  56. Happymom says:

    Okay-I was intrigued so I googled her images from when she was younger-and she was so pretty. It makes me so sad that she would do this to her face. And she has led a truly fascinating life!

  57. Auds says:

    Imagine making love to that and waking up next to it? This man is a hero.

  58. Ally says:

    This is my favorite detail: “As head of the 530-year-old House of Alba, she is entitled to ride her horse into Seville Cathedral, and according to protocol does not have to kneel before the Pope.”

    The one who should be most embarassed here is Vanity Fair, for putting her on their Best Dressed list this year — clearly showing it’s an award for highest credit card limit and nothing else.

  59. eternalcanadian says:

    Errrrr. Holy heck. Whatta face! What is he thinking marrying her? Do they even have sex? Holy heck again. 😮

  60. MLM says:

    No one looks happy in that room!

  61. Catherine says:

    Bloody hell….

  62. Ellie says:

    She looks like Imhotep in drag. As he looks today. ((shudder))

  63. taxi says:

    Would any surgeon take credit for that work? I’d wear a burqa 24/7 if my face looked like that.

  64. brin says:

    I envision Kim K and Kris Humphries like this if they ever renew their vows in the near future.

    _______________________________________

    Ok thats awsome she could be late for church and just ride right in there on a horse and if the pope shows up she can just sit there on her horse and he cant say shit about it (=
    I m gonna google for more cool stuff about her

    And Kelsey: excellent rant, agree 100% but this site is called celebitchy, so people will be bitchy 😉

  66. imabrat says:

    Well, I guess you have to grab a bit of happiness wherever you can. All the money in the world really can’t bring happiness unless you’ve someone to share those things with. Bless her heart, I wish her the best.

  67. mary jane says:

    I’ve seen photos of her when she was young and she was lovely looking.

  68. The Bobster says:

    My eyes!

    Spain has a tradition of digging up corpses. Remember El Cid?

  69. Kimbob says:

    Gah!!! I’ve never seen this woman before & now wish I NEVER HAD!!! Ditto for her “husband.”

    For God’s sake….money makes some people into plain ol’ WHORES!!!

  70. Annie says:

    She has that special look that only centuries of inbreeding, 85 years of aging and bargain bin plastic surgery can give you. That said, she seems like a really fun lady. Good to see someone still very much *living* at her age. Congrats!

  71. blonde on the dock says:

    LMAO!! the comments on here are hilarious!

  72. Judy says:

    She looks like Ron Pearlmans mother,,,Beauty and the Beast and Sons of Anarchy guy..THis guy married her because he is 61 and needs money for his future as I am sure he will inherrit some from her.

  73. shelbs says:

    sorry i have to vomit ….. ugh …disgusting …..

  74. j.ritchie says:

    I wish them both the best

    I hope they have many years of happiness
