Star Magazine has a new interview with Marie Osmond, 55, in which she’s promoting her new tour, An Intimate Evening with Marie Osmond and Friends. She’s been performing in Vegas at The Flamingo with her brother, Donnie, for seven years to date and they recently cut back their performances. Star asks Marie about her career, her family, her on-again relationship with her husband, and her diet and fitness routine. My favorite quotes, the ones referenced in the title, are about how she stays so “young looking.” The obvious answer is regular visits to her dermatologist for injections. I mean I like Marie and she seems like a sweet person (she’s also gone through so much in her life), but this is the obvious answer. Instead, she talks at length about loving herself and drinking water.
How do you stay so young-looking?
Genetics obviously plays a part, but I truly believe that attitude is No. 1. You can do everything to look good on the outside, but if you’re not happy on the inside, it shows. I’m also a huge advocate of water; I drink 10 large glasses a day. I have no problem with aging. But what’s sad is people who want to be 30 when they’re 50. I have four beautiful daughters, and I want them to be healthy in their thought patterns and love themselves.

This is how Marie looked (above) in 2006, so while genetics and water are her go-to excuses it’s more down to whatever she’s getting done. No shade for that specifically, it’s her choice, but she shouldn’t just completely ignore it. If Marie said “I have had some work done, but…” or “I have had Botox in the past,” it would have been a decent hedge and then she could freely talk about her personal philosophy on loving herself. Instead, she sounds out of touch, and she’s calling it “sad” that people “want to be 30 when they’re 50.” What is she referring to exactly? That sounds like a plastic surgery reference.
