Trekkies Bash New Star Trek Film As ‘Fun, Watchable’

YouTube – Jizz In My Pants response: “Puke In My Mouth” -MsTaken.com.

Following in the footsteps of the ever so popular ‘The Biggest Looser’ and ‘The Bachelor’ television networks have announced plans for a plus size dating show.  Instead of enlisting a cast of beautifully skinny contestants ‘More To Love’ will follow the search for love of a single eligible bachelor with a big waistline and even bigger heart. Shows producers will be calling for voluptuous ladies to join the race for the affections of this large husky hunk.  The creators of this idea believe the new programme will appeal to a wider audience of viewers promoting a more realistic reflection of the dating scene.

This style of programming is a breath of fresh air.  For so long women and men who are in the bigger weight bracket have barely been represented on television, not in reality TV anyway, except for the biggest looser where the shows contestants battle to be everything but big. Other reality TV examples such as Search For A Supermodel’ and ‘Are You Hot’ are sinful dribble, and the hollow contestants are not worthy of the airtime. ‘Idol’ and ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ at least illustrate the journey of young people working towards actually becoming good at something. The announcement of ‘Miss World’ the large version is also a wonderful initiative.

‘More to love’ will hopefully focus on what it really means to be in a relationship, despite physical appearances. You don’t have to be a size 1 to be loved, easy to say but very hard inhabit when society tells us otherwise.  Many people are genetically big, these are the people who can struggle their whole lives to accept and love their bodies the way they are. Others who are unhealthily over weight and know they shouldn’t be, are more prone to unhappiness, but are also the ones in need of motivation and a confidence boost.

I don’t see producers pitching the idea of ‘Ugly Love’ but I suppose they are not thick either. It is funny though to think of all these larger contestants herded together with one bulky common factor between them, all so that we can observe the fireworks, but what if there aren’t any?

Opposites do attract, how often do you see fat and skinny couples…. I do!.. all the time.  Those larger couples you see with their chubby kids ordering a family bucket at KFC to gorge on together seem happy,  I assume they are comfortable together in their greasy haven.  I feel that classifying people as fat and thin is the separation that causes sadness in the first place. Why not have a dating show where anything goes, people in wheel chairs, fat, skinny, stupid, beautiful, rich. Love is in the eye of the beholder.  It just seems a pity to herd all the so-called good-looking people together, why? So they can live together in their vain misery eternally.

 I can already see a whole lot of single skinny girls sitting at home on a lonely Wednesday night eating their lean cuisine, clawing at their television sets whishing they too were given the chance to get a bit of Mr Bigs’ big fat love pie.

Bonnie Fuller: Cougars And MILFs Rule 40 Year-Old Women Are WAY Hotter Than 20 Year-Olds.

As I went through this list and looked at the votes it would sure seem that Boonie Fuller is right…

It’s official! Age is irrelevant… when it comes to women and beauty that is. Who has THE HOTTEST bikini-clad hard body at this very moment? It’s 48 year-old Valerie Bertinelli on the cover of People looking way hotter than she ever did during her peak, One Day at a Time, sitcom days in the ’70s.

Who are both men and women getting in a lather about at this minute? It’s nude 43 year-old supermodel Cindy Crawford, photographed in nothing but suds for Allure magazine. Her pics have been responsible for over 400,000 page views and hundreds of comments on this site alone in the past couple of days.

Just whose sexy toned biceps have been talked about even more than the new bank rescue plan? 45 year-old Michelle Obama’s. Who’s got the best legs in America and happens to be our nations’ most eligible bachelorette? No contest, it’s Jen Aniston, 40. And honestly, do we really care about the trials and tribulations of Lauren Conrad or Paris Hilton’s lovelives the way we care about Jen’s? Finding Jen’s Mr. Right is right up there as a far more enduring national obsession than, say, deploring the Octomom.

At 50 years old, Barbie gets tattoos — and a megastore in China – Los Angeles Times.

Well, this is certainly a sign of the times.

Barbie turns 50 this month, and to shake off a midlife crisis she’s getting tattooed and opening the doors to her first megastore in China.

The developments are causing a stir on two continents, not bad for a plaything whose global cachet has been sagging of late.

We begin in Southern California, where, just in time for spring, Mattel Inc. has released Totally Stylin’ Tattoos Barbie. The doll comes with a set of more than 40 tiny tattoo stickers that can be placed on her body. Also included is a faux tattoo gun with wash-off tats that kids can use to ink themselves.

Fox to strip extras from rental DVDs | Crave – CNET.

I guess this is one way to get people to by a DVD rather then just rent it.

A few days ago, we pointed out that more people seem to be renting DVDs rather than buying, which means the studios are making less money on their former cash cow. According to a recent report by Video Business, Fox is trying a new strategy to encourage DVD purchases, by releasing two different versions of the DVD: the standard retail version with deleted scenes and commentary tracks, and a stripped-down rental version including just the movie. Movies such as “Slumdog Millionaire,” “The Day the Earth Stood Still,” and “The Wrestler” are set to get the treatment, which means you can expect to see the bare-bones versions at your local rental store in a matter of weeks.
