My Lovely Lady Lumps: A Hump-Day Links Roundup

June 2nd, 2010

1.

Celebrity Fatwatch: Eyeroll Edition

June 10th, 2008

Leave The Gordita Alone!

October 10th, 2007

She lost her kids, she’s losing her dogs, she might be going bankrupt, she’s made a sex tape, her house was robbed, and TMZ and Chris Crocker each owe her one, big time. And it’s totally Taco Bell’s fault! [D]o you think some of Britney’s downward spiral might be her toxic diet? We’re glad she […]

Sex (With Curvy Chicks) Sells

September 22nd, 2007

jennifer hudson ad Originally uploaded by mo pie I saw this ad in this week’s Entertainment Weekly; it’s the first Jennifer Hudson for Avon ad that I’ve seen so far. And I was quite struck by the “sex sells” marketing. Not only is it an obviously sexy shot of J. Hud, the perfume is named […]
