There seems to have been a slew of these in the last few months, they keep popping up in my recommended videos on YT. They're usually pretty poorly made slideshows. The thumbnails are total clickbait and tend to range from kinda funny to pretty creepy.

Here's a selection of what's out there.

Like, why don't they just use real pictures of them in the current day?

I'm guessing they've graduated from click-bait that is loosely based on truth to stuff that is so silly, the only "clickers" are those who want a good laugh. It's similar to those who read tabloids not because they think they're being informed, but because they know it's an opportunity to laugh at stuff they know to be fake.

There also the similarly click-bait-y posts claiming that someone famous has died without actually saying the name. According to these things, it's breaking news that this famous person ("legendary actor," "America's Sweetheart" etc.) has died in the past few minutes or so, trying to trick people into satisfying curiosity---or, more likely, tempting them to click so they can be the first person in their friend group to share the news/gossip if it is genuine news.

The makers of these ridiculous things must be bribing YT with boatloads of money to make sure they show up on the "suggested" videos, since I have no interest in celebrity gossip of that nature, and yet here they are. They certainly would not work their way up the list due to their "quality journalism".

I can't believe Victoria would stand for it. Especially since standing is always difficult for a 77-year-old woman. Particularly if she's now 600 lbs.

Yeah. Especially since Donna doesn't look like she has aged a day since 1980

Donna is incredible. She doesn't look to me as if she has had a lot of plastic surgery or any at all. She obviously takes good care of herself and has good genes. I recall reading that she was 40 when she started on KL. God bless her. I always liked Donna, and she's a celebrity about whom I'm happy to hear and see doing well:)

Donna still looks the most natural, and is incredible she was in her 40s already when she started on Knots. I think she probably did have a face lift sometime in the late 80s, as her cheekbones suddenly got tighter, but she knew when to stop and age gracefully. The problem is when they keep going back for more...

Yes, I think both Donna Mills and Joan Collins have been very smart about the amount of plastic surgery they've had. Just enough that it could almost be natural, and nothing that stretches or distorts their faces too much or gives them that rubbery trout pout look.
