Rod Stewart, 80, and his wife Penny Lancaster, 54, celebrate 18 years of marriage with a luxurious trip down memory lane
Rod Stewart and his wife Penny Lancaster celebrated 18 years of marriage with a luxurious trip down memory lane on Thursday. The legendary singer, 80, and the model, 54, began dating in 1999 before becoming engaged in Paris in 2005 and marrying in the medieval monastery La Cervara in Portofino in 2007. After their wedding on 16 June 2007, the couple enjoyed their honeymoon on the Lady Ann Magee yacht, which was moored in Portofino. Ringing in their anniversary, the couple revisited the memorable locations with a journey on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. Giving an insight into their holiday, Penny shared a photo of herself and Rod in front of the train. She looked incredible in a pink floral shirt which she teamed with a matching skirt and stiletto heels. She captioned her Instagram post: 'Entering a bygone era @vsoetrain from Paris where we got engaged to Portofino where we got married 18 years ago, it's totally magical Sir Rod Stewart xxxx' The Maggie May hitmaker has eight children with five different women, two of whom are sons Alastair, 19, and Aidan, 14, which he shares with third wife Penny. Rod also has Liam, 30, and Renee, 32, with his second wife, model Rachel Hunter, 55, while Kimberly, 45, and Sean, 44, are from his first marriage to actress Alana Stewart, 79. Daughter Ruby, 37, is from a former relationship with model Kelly Emberg, 65 and Rod's firstborn child is Sarah Streeter, 61, who was raised by her adoptive parents Gerald and Evelyn Thubron. Rod's daughter Kimberly showed off her growing baby bump as she made a surprise appearance at the American Music Awards. The model and her siblings Sean, Ruby, Renee, and Liam surprised their famous dad on stage at the ceremony as he was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award. Kimberly announced in March that she was pregnant with her second child, which will be her famous father's fifth grandchild. Los Angeles based Kimberly is already a mum to 13-year-old daughter Delilah Genoveva Stewart, who she shares with her ex-flame Benicio del Toro. The model, 45, and her siblings Sean, 44, Ruby, 37, Renee, 32, and Liam, 30, surprised their famous dad on stage at the ceremony as he was honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award Kimberly did not reveal who the father of the baby was, only that she was expecting a son. Singing icon Rod was so shocked to see his family at the ceremony that he dropped an F-bomb that was edited out of the broadcast. 'I'm so f***ing overwhelmed that you're here,' he said lovingly to his kids, according to reporter at the ceremony. However, the version that aired on CBS featured a clumsy cut away from Stewart during his cursing to a bizarre shot of audience members, who were holding up their phones to film his speech. Instead of beeping the profanity, CBS appeared to just snip out the offending word, resulting in a jarring return to his speech mid-word. Rod said he was 'absolutely flabbergasted' because he had no idea that his children were going to be attending the ceremony, much less giving him a warm introduction. 'I thought you had recorded it earlier!' he said of their introduction.

Are You Hot? Cruel reality show where models brutally judge people's looks resurfaces and horrifies viewers
People have been left appalled after rediscovering a 2003 reality show where contestants had their physical appearance cruelly scrutinized by a panel of merciless judges. Are You Hot?: The Search for America's Sexiest People saw a string of hopefuls line up to have their looks torn apart in the hopes of winning a $50,000 cash prize. Contestants varied from traditionally attractive personal trainers and aspiring models all the way through to your average Joe. The genetically-blessed judges included hunky Renegade actor Lorenzo Lamas, Kiwi supermodel Rachel Hunter, and fashion designer Randolph Duke. The trio would judge the scantily-clad contestants on three different categories: face, body, and sex appeal. Lamas even used a laser pointer, dubbed the 'flaw finder,' to highlight imperfections. One woman was told that her hips were 'too wide,' while another was told to 'eat a cheeseburger' because she was too slim. While judging one male contestant on stage, Hunter remarked, 'I'm gonna give you a five because you're way too muscular.' She added, 'Like I said, it's too ape, gorilla looking. It's just too much.' Fans on social media were horrified after recently rediscovering the series. 'I'd love to see how Rachel would have critiqued her ex Rod Stewart if they brought him on stage,' commented one. 'Never heard of this but OMG this is horrific. And people critiqued America's Next Top Model for being harsh, while this is literal body shaming,' wrote another. A third wrote, 'Sign up for a show called Are You Hot? and ya gotta live with the answer!' Are You Hot? was canceled after one season due to low ratings and viewer backlash. While it was axed, it didn't stop Fox from airing an equally controversial series just a year later with The Swan. The series took 'average' women who felt insecure about their looks and gave them extreme makeovers - which included plastic surgery. However, the series came with an unbelievable twist. The women didn't know they were actually competing with each other until the very end, when two of them were judged head-to-head to decide a winner. One would then go on to the final beauty pageant and be crowned 'The Swan.' The Swan premiered to high ratings and averaged around nine million viewers during its first season, but was canceled by its second season. It's best remembered for starring Dr. Terry Dubrow as one of the show's plastic surgeons. Dubrow went on to star in E!'s Botched and The Real Housewives of Orange County.
