Here's another photo Annie Leibowitz shot for Rob Lowe's Vanity Fair cover story, which is actually an excerpt from his soon-to-be-released memoir, "Stories I Only Tell My Friends." The laborious auditioning process for "The Outsiders" he writes about is fascinating stuff -- and only has me wanting to read more, like what went on during the filming of "St. Elmo's Fire" and the 1988 sex tape.
Lowe is every bit as sexy at 47 as he was in his 20s, but even when his looks fade, he's already lined up two successors. Those are sons Johnowen, 15, and Matthew, 17, waiting in the wings., although there'll only ever really be one true Youngblood for me ...
It's been nearly 25 years since I went to see "Class" at the AMC Lakeshore midnight movie and I'm still convinced that Rob Lowe entered into a pact with the Devil to be this gorgeous. I remember a few years later going to see "... About Last Night" in the movie theater repeatedly. The scene where he runs out to get the newspaper in his tighty whities made me long for another paper route -- and his late-night nekkid visit to the refrigerator was enough to make me consider eating. Rob turns 42 in March and is married with kids now -- but he's as handsome as ever.
