Besides being in their late forties, blond, and beautiful, Heather and Michelle have a lot in common. They are both loved by the American public, and we never get tired of reading about them. They are both natives of California, eternally kissed by the sunshine and the glamour of Hollywood. Michelle, age 49, is from Santa Ana, and Heather, age 46, is from Westwood.

America loves these two wholesome and graceful women. They manage to be simultaneously strong and feminine, both high-earning and family-oriented. Some American women would envy their lifestyle, but you can only imagine what the price for fame is and having to overcome the stereotypes of beautiful women. Michelle has been quoted on IMDB as saying: "I act for free, but I demand a huge salary as compensation for all the annoyance of being a public personality. In that sense, I earn every dime I make."

Here is some recent news about these stars. In the 10/8/2007 issue of People, Heather sports a 3-page spread and a picture inset on the cover. In this article, she dishes about her recently-begun relationship with dashing Jack Wagner, her former costar on Melrose Place, and how she continues to look so vibrant. She also shares about raising her daughter, Ava, and keeping up ties with ex-husband and father to Ava, Richie Sambora.

According to People's Alexis Chiu, Heather's secret to good looks is this: "I stay out of the sun and sleep in soft sheets. I try and stay positive. And stay around happy people, positive people like my daughter."

Meanwhile, Michelle has been making headlines of her own. On 10/5/2007, it was reported by the American Foreign Press that Michelle has a $100,000 bet with George Clooney that he will get hitched again. She has also been busy on the set of big movies. Michelle released two movies this summer, Hairspray and Stardust. Hairspray was a surprise hit musical in which Michelle played the role of Velma Von Tussle. Her costars include John Travolta, Christopher Walken, Amanda Bynes, and Nikki Blonsky. Stardust was a different, more fantastic role. Michelle proves to be a true queen of versatility.
