My favorite reality show that nobody but me and Kim watches is The Mole. (The first host of the show was the amazing Anderson Cooper; the current host, Jon Kelley, is equally fabulous and hot. You heard it here first.)

MeMe Roth, president and founder of NAAO, is host and organizer of the Wedding Gown [...]

So, recently there have been some pictures of Kelly Clarkson (the fabulous, fabulous Kelly Clarkson) in a bikini, eating a hot dog. And of course her body isn’t absolutely perfect, whatever that means, so she’s a whale. And she’s eating a hot dog, which of course is disgusting also.

The Detroit Free Press dishes on the plus-sized fashions on American Idol this season, with a focus on the lovely LaKisha.
