I Still Don't Eat

The Fug Girls apparently were also watching the Oscar pre-show I talked about here. They applaud her refreshing honesty while at the same time pointing out... she may actually want to reconsider her stance on self-starvation.

"I kind of get the impression that Debbie's reaction might be, 'oh, you NOTICED! I'm so glad.' And, honestly, that's kind of f'ed up... So here's yet another in our long line of pleas to the ladies of the world: we were not all built to weigh 90 pounds. Being healthy is a good thing: being HUNGRY just makes you really crabby and then your face starts to look prematurely aged, and while some people believe you can never be too thin, there's no cliche along the lines of "you can never be too cranky and gaunt."

Thanks to Jelly for the tip!

Irony

So, the New York Times article I linked to in yesterday's post said "Three years ago, Jennifer Hudson’s best-known fashion statement was a pantsuit that Simon Cowell, the resident acerbic of “American Idol,” compared to a roll of aluminum foil." Of course, as Ian pointed out, it was ironic when she showed up on the red carpet wearing a jacket made of aluminum foil.

But hey, at least she wasn't dressed like an AIDS ribbon. And she looked awesome in her sing-off with Beyonce--that red dress was smokin'.

Also, raise your hand if you think Norbit was the reason Eddie Murphy lost his Oscar last night. I completely believe that.

"Leading up to the Oscars, some speculated that the recent release of Murphy's lowbrow, cross-dressing comedy 'Norbit' would injure his Oscar prospects. The 'Norbit' producers hesitated over releasing it in the middle of Murphy's Oscar campaign, but director Brian Robbins said it was Murphy who insisted on releasing it on schedule."

I thought he deserved the Oscar, but part of me was happy he didn't win it. Up yours, Norbit.
