I agree that real women have curves, because real women don't have time for the kind of lameness. They have lives and familys and self-confidence and limited time to exercise.

On one of those "I normally don't pay attention" notes: is anyone else as creeped by Tom Cruise dating Katie Holmes as I am?
 

Thank You, Darrell & Meepers. My other half is thin, but not by design.. just genes. She does watch what she eats but more for health than to look skinny. Curves ARE cool. Lindsay looked pretty hot last year (says the old man as his perv meter pegs) but I haven't seen a recent pic of her.

I don't normally pay attention either, Meepers. I really don't care about Tom & Katie-Brad & Jennifer & Angelea- Ben & Jennifer Lopez/Garner- ad infinitum. It's all Hollywood CRAP. Trust me. I lived in and worked in Hollywood for awhile, and publicists rule the roost. The spin cycle is always set to HIGH and truth is a rare commodity.

Personally I think Tom is Gay because I've witnessed it firsthand (at a private party), but it doesn't mean anything- maybe he's bi and struggles with trying to go straight. Maybe the thing with Katie is a dog and pony show for the tourists, and every night he goes home to Raoul the gardener. It could be another Cole Porter situation (see "DeLovely") where he's married to a trophy wife whom he loves, but sleeps around with all these young guys.

who knows? who cares?
 

Rhodester: who knows? who cares?

Not me! Not me! Katie Holmes is cute, but young enough to be either my daughter or Tom's, and I can't see him dating her. I have heard the "Tom Cruise is gay" rumors for years," and don't know what to make of it. I'd be very curious about what you saw at that party, Dave.

And I hope it's clear to everyone that my "real women have curves" remark wasn't intended as sexist or anything... I just can't figure out why Lindsay, Paris, Nicole Richie, Mischa Barton, etc, all seem to want to look like sticks. Maybe I'm weird, but I think that most "plus size models" are sexier and more feminine than any of those girls.
 

Looks aside, and disregarding what's attractive to who (I know plenty of men who like plus size as you do), it's a matter of health. Young women who engage in extreme dieting tend to have coronary problems later in life- so do obese women. There's a balance to be had, and to hell with what mainstream media thinks is attractive at the moment.
 

I worked security at the Hollywood/Highland complex, where you'll find the Kodak Theater (current home of the Oscars). We did a lot of private parties that were mainly held in the fifth floor ballroom which is off limits to the public.

I worked a party that was the after-party for a movie premier or some award show (they all kind of blended together after awhile) and TC was there with an entourage.

I was running an elevator that was set to shuttle party guests back and forth between the 5th floor and the ground floor, which opened right out to Hollywood Blvd and the limo waiting area where fans and paparazzi gathered to see the celebs.

TC was leaving the party with his entourage, and while he was in the elevator he was very intimate with a young man unknown to me.. they held hands, snuggled and kissed a little.. until someone said, "Tom were almost on the ground floor"

Knowing full well that paparazzi were stationed right outside the door, the young man quickly relocated himself to the opposite side of the elevator and as they stepped off, TC stopped to sign autographs, shake hands and get his picture snapped SOLO while young whatzizname quietly stole around behind with the rest of the entourage and got into a different limo than Tom did.

I'm hesitant to tell this story because I like Tom, having run across him prior to that (he really treats us peasants well, and is very, very nice to people) and you won't find this posted on my blog. It's obvious that he and his publicist have worked very hard to keep this under wraps, so this'll stay buried in the comments section of YOUR blog :-) (I don't think Google includes Blogger comments in searches.. I hope)

On the other hand, if TC were an asshole, I'd have no problem telling this on MY blog..
 

Yeah, I saw this comparison on one of the sites in my blogroll, and I have to agree that she looked fine before. A skeletal malnourished frame can be just as unappealing and unhealthy as the other extreme.(lol at Darrell's Timberlake comment which I just noticed)

Tom Cruise is a great actor and I've liked just about every film I've seen him in, so I could care less about what he's doing in his private life. I'm more concerned with that hack Affleck who's not a fraction as good as Cruise but still managed to steal Sydney Bristow from me.

Your time will come, Affleck.....

::shakes fists in Wrath of Khan camera angle::

Afffffffffleecckkkkk!!!!
 

I'm sorry, but every time I hear Afleck's name, I think of that Aflak (spelling???) commercial with the duck or whatever. His face isn't uncommon around these parts because SOMEONE is a huge Kevin Smith fan. But if you asked me, I'd pick Matt Damon any day of the week.
