Liveblogging “Huge” (1.4, “Talent Night”)

July 20th, 2010

First off, on the topic of Alastair’s sexuality and queer themes in general, this Advocate interview is a great read; thanks for the link, Jack Daniels! (If you missed that conversation, it’s in last week’s comments.) And now, on with the show! I’m very excited about the title, can I just say that? There will […]

Liveblogging “Huge” (Ep. 1.3, “Live Action Role Play”)

July 14th, 2010

I’m about to sit down and watch my first episode of Huge! While I was away, I seem to have forgotten to DVR it, so I’m starting with the third episode. But I’ve been hearing good things from you guys and Alan Sepinwall, and I love Nikki Blonsky anyway, so this sounds like a must-see. […]

Huge: Are You Watching?

June 28th, 2010

When we talked about Huge, a lot of people said they might watch it, so I figured I’d open up a discussion thread for the show! If you’re watching it (or if you watched it already), let us know what you thought!

“Huge” New Show Starring Nikki Blonsky

June 10th, 2010

A few days ago, I had never heard of Huge, but it occurred to me that we hadn’t heard from Nikki Blonsky in a while. Lo and behold, IMDB informed me that she (and Glee’s Ashley Fink) were starring in a new show on ABC Family called Huge. Here’s the description from Wikipedia: Huge is […]

My Lovely Lady Lumps: A Hump-Day Links Roundup

June 2nd, 2010

1. We all know I get ridiculous PR spam, but a real doozy landed in my mailbox yesterday, featuring the top five “Flabulous Celebrity Love Handle Offenders” who can fix their “offensive” love handles with a Spanx-type product that we should all run out and buy too! (Don’t worry, I wouldn’t dream of mentioning the […]

Seth Rogan Admits He "Sold Out" By Losing Weight

March 24th, 2009

So my feelings about celebrities who lose weight are well documented and I believe could be summed up as “conflicted.” Seth Rogan totally gets it, though. Actor Seth Rogen is struggling to accept his newly svelte figure – because he’s let down the legions of chubby men who looked up to him. The funnyman slimmed […]

Malan Breton Designs For Nikki Blonsky

June 17th, 2008

Originally uploaded by mo pie I was in Vegas this weekend, and at one point I think Weetabix said something drunkenly about Malan from Project Runway and Nikki Blonsky, but I didn’t really understand, as I was probably on the third pitcher of mojitos at that point. But I have Googled and checked Project Rungay […]

Fat, Fame, And Ricky Gervais

June 2nd, 2008

As you probably know, if you know anything about me, my favorite show is The Office, and you know I’ll take any excuse to mention it in this blog. I recently discovered The Office Alliance podcast, and have been listening to episodes during my long commutes. Having run out of new episodes, I recently started […]

Guess What 99.5 Out Of 100 "Beautiful People" Have In Common?

May 11th, 2008

I’ve been carrying around People Magazine‘s 100 Most Beautiful issue all week, having bought it because I thought it would be interesting to talk about, but it wasn’t until the weekend that I had time to crack it open and check it out. And oh my god, it was worse than I thought! I used […]

Lifetime Movie Alert

January 10th, 2008

From the fine network that brought you such titles as Mother May I Sleep With Danger? and Baby Monitor: Sound of Fear comes a film that may be of more interest than usual, as it stars Nikki Blonsky of Hairspray fame as a plus-sized girl. The movie is called Queen Sized. Unlike Hairspray, which was […]

Hey Mama, Say Mama

October 5th, 2007

While you guys continue the important conversations in the comments, here’s a little Feel Good Friday fun for you. It’s a clip from the Hairspray movie soundtrack of the three Tracy Turnblads (Nikki Blonsky, Ricki Lake, and Marissa Janet Winokur) singing “Mama, I’m a Big Girl Now.” I’m obsessed with this soundtrack, you guys. I […]

"As Crazy As It Sounds"

August 2nd, 2007

Since I haven’t had time to craft a perfect gem of a blog post quite yet (I’ll tell you why in my next post, which will indeed be a perfect gem) I’m just going to quote from a couple of Hairspray-related e-mails I recieved recently: From Eliza, comes this story: Zac Efron & NIkki Blonksy […]
