CNN Sees the Style Light

Yesterday I was contacted by the good people of CNN. I was lucky enough to discuss the touchy topic of celebrity body image. The subject became reheated after the New York Times posted two stories that caused a backlash.

Christina Hendricks was under fire for an ill fitting gown. The media outlet’s fashion critic, Cathy Horyn, dubbed her a “big girl” and it became a storm of disagreement. It should also be mentioned that the article was accompanied by an obviously digitally altered photo that appeared to stretch her width. Since then, the image was replaced and the error chalked up to a “routine processing” error. Regardless, he issue was no longer the dress, but a question of Christina’s body image.

Breeanna Hare of CNN tackled the controversy by talking to people on both sides of the issue. Click HERE to read ‘Mad Men’ actress ‘big’? Them’s fightin’ words on the Web featuring comments from yours truly!

Sienna Miller: I Didn’t Have Sex with Heath Ledger!

My new boo’s over at New York Times mistakenly padded Sienna’s boyfriend background. Heath Ledger and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs were added to the notches in her bedpost in an article titled “What She Really Wants to do is Act.” The “Casanova” starlet was scathing mad after the paper ran with the idea she bedded her co-star. Since then a correction has been ran to appease the offended bed hopper.

Correction: October 17, 2009
“An article on Page 4 this weekend about Sienna Miller misstates the nature of the relationships that she had with Heath Ledger and Sean Combs. She was friends with both of them; she did not have romantic flings with either of them.”

I would like to also note the article drops a few other names like Jude Law, Daniel Craig, James Franco and MARRIED Balthazar Getty on her list of sexual conquests that went un-corrected. She had no problem admitting she made sexy times with a married man, but felt the paper should site correction for an assumption she slept with a friend. WTF??? Sienna should have just titled the article “I Didn’t Diddle My BFF, But I Have Boinked Every Man in the Tri-State Area.”

What’s that old saying? Ho needs to learn to pick her battles? Whatever it is, she needs to reread her “Ways of the Slut” manual. It’s standard issue once you complete Home Wrecking 101.
