I'm not sure about the first part, but that is a good question.

I wouldn't say "anypony" can be an alicorn. We're still a little fuzzy on how that works.

As for the Gems, I learned they don't grow old, and after seeing that episode, I have a theory (for the Mane 6 and Shining Armor's sake) that NATURAL-born alicorns can't age.
