Victoria's Secret Is Crazy to Shun Kate Upton

Kate Upton on Sports IllustratedEveryone, everywhere is buzzing about 19-year-old model Kate Upton after checking out her goodies on the cover of the esteemed 2012 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. I'm not just talking about those skeevy guys who hang around your office water cooler, either. I'm talking more big time here, like the honchos over at Victoria's Secret.

Apparently some bigwig that works for Vicki's, Sophia Neophitou, spoke with someone at The New York Times about how they'd never feature her in their annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Neophitou said Kate's look is "too obvious" and "she looks like a footballer's wife, with the too-blond hair and that kind of face that anyone with enough money can go out and buy."

Eeeeeeeesh. Sure, being on the cover of SI opens a girl up for criticism, but that's a bit harsh. What's this fun-loving, Dougie-doing model ever done to you? What's hilarious? Kate's actually been IN the Vicki's catalogue!

Clearly, Vicki's is a bit confused. Kate's got it goin' on.

karl lagerfeldFashion designer and potential spokesperson for fake tanner and silver hair Karl Lagerfeld has been running his mouth almost as bad as Marie Claire's blogger Maura Kelly when she said how fat people were gross brought on by seeing an episode of Mike & Molly. Huge backlash there and then Kelly ended up revealing that she had an eating disorder and that was the reason for her extreme disgust.

Marie Claire magazine should take note that Lagerfeld doesn't keep up with their blog because he made the same kind of mistake with this remark he made about Rolling In the Deep singer Adele: "She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice."

Apparently Lagerfeld realized that was really wrong to say and started backpeddling.

Sofia Vergara Isn't 'Most Desirable' Only Because of Her Breasts

Sofia Vergara is being hailed yet again for her amazing curves now that she's been named the hottest woman of 2012 by AskMen.com.

The 39-year-old mom and Modern Family actress landed at the top of a list featuring some incredibly high-profile names, including Miranda Kerr, Kate Upton, Rooney Mara, and Kim Kardashian. But despite such stiff competition from those younger stars, few would be surprised that men find Sofia totally hot. What guy wouldn't drool over that voluptuous body?

So while there's no doubt that Sofia's sexy figure helped win her the most votes, she also has a secret weapon for looking her best and exuding the confidence needed to be crowned queen of all hotties.

Watch Cindy Barshop Bedazzle a Woman's Sacred Parts With Fox Fur (VIDEO)

Cindy BarshopSo a few weeks ago. we heard all about a fancy new deluxe treatment at Cindy Barshop's chic NYC waxing spa chain Completely Bare. For a casual $225 a pop, women can stop by The Real Housewives of New York star's spot for an, um, enhancement on their lady parts consisting of REAL fox fur.

Sure, I thought the whole thing was wackadoodle when I heard about it the first time. But after watching Cindy jazz up a woman herself, I've got to say -- it's not as bad as I thought. If a Real Housewife says it's cool, then it's so totally got to be the IT thing, right?

OK, I'm kidding. It's still epically hilarious. But man oh man is this a video you've got to see. Take a look:

Axe Body Spray for WOMEN? That Idea Stinks

axe body sprayAxe commercial.Hey, ladies! Ever wished you could smell like an eager college freshman or a cab driver? Now's your chance. Soon, there will be an Axe body spray for women. Unilever, the company behind the scent and its ridiculous ads, says that they're launching a uni-sex spray called Anarchy that will be sure to titillate the boys just as much as the girls.

I don't know if it's all the Axe chemicals floating around their offices and making Axe execs think this is a good idea, but hate to break it to you fellas: No woman I know likes the overt, in-your-face smell of douche bag in a can. We don't like it on guys and we certainly won't like it for ourselves.

miley cyrusHey everybody! Miley Cyrus has a message. She'd like you to know that her boobs are real. That's right. She won't tolerate no hootenanny nonsense about her tatas being fake. No sirree. Once she read the rumors after her, um, burgeoning appearance on the CNN Heroes red carpet last night that she'd had breast implants, Miley took to Twitter to quickly quell the, um, swelling accusations. Ms. Miley wants you to understand that her knockers are real, and they're spectacular.

Courtney Stodden's 'Natural' Breasts Are World's Greatest Mystery

Posted by Cynthia Dermody

Courtney StoddenI am entirely jealous of Courtney Stodden, not because she has snagged herself that smart, talented, hunk-of-a-husband Doug Hutchison old enough to be her weird grandpa, but because of her breasts. They are unreal, aren't they? Truthfully, anyone with the inclination and about $10,000 lying around could go out and get themselves a pair that look exactly like them, too ... but not really exactly because did you hear last week's big news? Courtney Stodden's breasts are completely natural, people. She had a breast ultrasound on Dr. Drew last week to prove it.

Adriana Lima's Victoria's Secret Diet Regimen Is Completely Insane

Posted by Lindsay Ferrier

Adriana LimaTo become a Victoria's Secret 'Angel' is basically the greatest thing that can possibly happen to a model.

The Angels are widely regarded as having the best, most desirable bodies in the industry.

Seeing the Angels in magazine ads and on television, it's easy for the average woman to feel pretty glum about her body.

But now that Adriana Lima has revealed the extraordinary lengths she goes to in order to have that 'Angel'-worthy figure, I've decided I'll keep my average body.

Happily.

Those kinds of extreme measures just aren't worth it.

Christina Aguilera Latest Victim in Hollywood Fat Wars

Posted by Lindsay Ferrier

Christina AguileraChristina Aguilera is packing a few extra pounds right now -- and Hollywood hasn't gone into this much of a fat frenzy since Jessica Simpson's much-discussed weight gain.

The paparazzi are scrambling to get close-up shots of Christina's thighs and rear end as she shops or chooses pumpkins at the pumpkin patch (EMBARASSING), and bloggers are using words like "rotund" and "frightening" to describe her new figure.

WTH, Hollywood?

While I would concur that this costume is perhaps not the best choice for Xtina's new figure, she's still smaller than most women in America, and if you saw her on the street and didn't know who she was, you'd hardly call her fat.

So why is Hollywood taking such malicious pleasure from her weight gain?

What do you think?

Fall Trend Watch

plaid jacketFall catalogs are stacking up, making us all feel inadequate, so it's time to do something meaningful with the misery and make our fall wardrobes wonderful. So you didn't lose the ten extra pounds over the summer like you'd hoped. Me neither. But that's no excuse NOT to shop for great-looking clothes this season. In fact, the only answer to the extra-ten-pounds woe is buying clothes that fit your ten-pounds-heavier body, which actually makes you look and feel thinner. I swear it's true!

Plus, this fall there are many slimming trends and styles that can help camouflage problem areas, from tummies to thighs to waists that are shorter than the length of my index finger (shut up I was born this way, and no I don't have an extra long index finger). They won't all work for everyone -- because we're all perfectly imperfect in different ways -- but I promise you'll find a few that will make you feel fabulous!

Let's take a peek at 5 fall styles with a magical slimming effect!
