CrazyGirl They're all creepy..
xoEmelyxo snoop dog is an intelligent artist in the hip hop music industry , one of the top 10, if you haven't been raised listening to hip hop or r&b music , then you obviously wouldn't like him as a music artist, some of you just don't understand, I don't like rock music but I'm sure if I grew up listening to it , I'd definitely have it on my playlist
Madison Leonardo di Caprio was a little cutie! I'm sure he was a heartthrob then AND now.
Carolain amazing selection!!!!!!!! there was a lot that I haven´t see before but OMG.... what what WHAT with pamela andreson hahah LOL! It really surprised me!

dodecahedron i think renee was always pretty
Yasmine Some people look so much better with age.
TheChi Hi I am the son of the Chi Lites R/B music group singer Creadel Jones. One question that's all ways asked to me is can I sing like my father from the Chi Lites and am I a musician are singer like my father from the Chi Lites the answer is yes I do sing all though I do not pratice singing that mush I am a natural singer from brith. I have realy worked as a writer and have worte written such as O Ambassoders for Oprah and I have also wrote pilots for motown Tv division headed by Alonzo Brown and Camey Bracher this Tv sitcom pilot I wrote was named Motown The Sitcom but reintiled by Alo Motown Live after being renamed. Most of the entertainment project I wrote I did not get paid for do to expolitation. A lot of children of legendary entgertainers get upset when people always as them to sing because we ae always come pared to our famous legendary musical parents. But I dont let that really effect my work as a writer are singer are actor. I worked mostly mangaing my father Chi Lites legacy from 1994 to 2006 and even running and opreating a web sit deticated to stopping exploitation to legendary black entertainers and the children and familes of legendary black entertainment. But I like the most id the Fans and music community fans when they tell me how much that they love my fathers legendary music from the Chi Lites.
Ashlee_xx Uh..Hey... Barbara Was Finer When She Was..Younger. She Kynda Looks Like Joan Rivers. Lol xx
jojo r u a gnr fan i love then i like sweet child o mine
kiss great post as usual! my favourite was definately Freddie Mercury! i loved the Jennifer Anniston one, she was really cute. the will smith one was interesting too (not just because he's gorgeous!), he'd barely changed. xxx
- Sheila Glad you liked the post sweetie :) Jennifer was definitely a cutie! :D
amyQ. brad pitt, younger (maybe with a more flattering haircut) = hot! 8D
- Sheila Hey AmyQ. I know right? *drool* :D
Diana Sheila I love your new photo!! :) You look so beautiful! Great finds on all the kid pics of celebs!
- Sheila Hey Diana! Thanks so much sweetie :) When will I see a new post from you? I miss you!
Xannyyy Sheila, Loooooool I totally agree with you!!!!!!
Xannyyy Sheila, Hehe not a deal he loves but still has to do it! And I the same for him. I totally hate plastation and everything that goes with it!! But still I go shopping for games and do half and out boring my self!!
- Sheila Xannyyy, Ha ha! Playstations and Xboxes (And now the Vie)! Oh! if I had a penny for everytime I felt like the "other woman" thanks to these things.
Xannyyy Sheila, Yeah thinking about it me too. But still I drag him with me, even if I'm so sorry foy my poor baby :) Loooooool
- Sheila Xannyyy, Ofcourse that's part of the deal! :D
Xannyyy Sheila, I can't say he loves Shopping but he comes with me. The part he hates is once I start I just can't stop and I go from one shop to the other just like a mad person, cause I'm very choosy to decide so you know, he practically goes mad before me :P Looool
- Sheila Xannyyy, Aww my heartfelt sympathies to the boyfriend :D
Xannyyy Sheila, That's one of the most pleasent thing us ladies do :) From next month I'm going to try and stop my shopping addiction :P Cause Christmas is approaching and money surely don't last too long that month!
Xannyyy Sorry about missing S in your Name :P ^^
Xannyyy heila, Too bad!! Hope you're feeling a little bit better! Mine was a bit hectic (sound just like the story of my life, lol) but mostly it was great as I spent a whole Sunday afternoon watching a great movie and shopping! It sure relaxes me spending money! (Then Guilt come when I check what's left in my bank account :P) Get well soon love :)
- Sheila Lol don't worry about the S :D Shopping is the best. I've been saving up for a month now. Next week is splurge week! Yaay :D
Xannyyy I guess we're back in our everyday routine!! Good Week Sheila :) Back to sending each other again :P Hope you're well!!
- Sheila Xannyyy, Welcome back :) I had a good weekend. Though I woke up with a cold today. How was yours?
Xannyyy Thanks alot Sheila for taking my suggestion. If every one is like you the sites would be far better with a lot more readers. I just hate to leave comments and no one answers! Thanks again and have a nice weekend, I will be talking to you again on Monday :)
- Sheila Xannyyy, That's a wonderful thing to say :) You have a great weekend too!
Xannyyy Sheila, Cheers :) I liked Freddie Mercury best :P lollll :)
- Sheila Xannyyy, Jennifer Aniston is on the list now! :)
Xannyyy This is a great post. Some of these celebrities where good looking as children and still are like Charlize Theron and Cameron Diaz. Harrison Ford was cute as a chid but cuter know that he's older. Some of these stars really don't show there actual age! Matt Damon is another one, I thinks by getting older he gets prettier :) I really have to say that I really laughed on your comment about Snoop Dog, and I totally agree whith you Sheila! Leonardo Di Caprio is the cutest child I've ever seen as in male category. And for me in women's category there's Jennifer Anniston as a baby which if you add her up I think would be loved by many. And My last comment is on Katie Holmes. I saw her grow up from Dawson's Creek till now. She's gorgeous and even know when she smiles she still reminds me of the kid that she once was and in certain ways I think still is.
- Sheila Xannyy, Thank you for all your wonderful wonderful comments :) They always make me smile. I haven't seen Jennifer Aniston's baby picture but I'll get on it right away. If you do find a link with one, please share it with me so I can add it here. Thanks so much once again :)
Diana It's amazing how you can see the adult faces of the celebrity in the child. Great post Sheila!
- Sheila It IS amazing isn't it?! Well thanks Diana. I'm glad you liked it....
suburbangrandma Wow....As the old saying goes "if you have it, you have it; if you don't you don't". They all were as cute as a button at their young age, and now are aging gracefully.....I know....I know.... plastic surgery helped few of them to maintain their looks!!! Nice post, by the way!!!
- Sheila Thanks suburbangrandma (I love your nickname btw :)
Tavia Wow some of the look really changed, like Demi Moore and Avril. It's incredible what time and money can do to people:)
- maTz well,maybe for some,money did make a change.but it s,of course,natural to change,just a little bit,you know:) of course,im not talking about those who used plastical surgery
- Sheila Tavia, So true....so true!
