The World According To Beth Ditto
Click here to read a great interview that Beth Ditto gave to The Advocate.
Here are our HIGHlights:
- "I do think that George Bush was absolutely a fascist piece of shit."
- "I don't know who I'm voting for yet, and people keep asking me a lot. I think that on the one hand, people are surprised that I don't say “Hilary” immediately, but I just don't think civil unions are the best, because “separate but equal” is unconstitutional! It's bullshit, and we've been through this already."
- "I'm the kind of voter who thinks a lot about who they vote for, period. Until the day of, usually, because I'm busy deconstructing [the candidates.]"
- "I love fashion, but it's just not fair. Here's the deal: Fashion should be for everyone. [Pauses] Well, fashion is one thing - I love style. Those are two different things. I think fashion is a product that can be bought and sold and is made for you, and style is something that you get up and you do it to yourself every morning. Fashion is a product, but style is a way of life. You can't buy style, it's an instinct."
- "Miss Piggy is extremely iconic. There's no one higher than Miss Piggy. It's funny, but it's true — she definitely was a huge influence on me as a teenager. Oh, and Patty Duke!"
Something Serious
Cancelled!
MISS PIGGY ONCE SAID - "NEVER EAT MORE THAN YOU CAN LIFT". LISTEN TO YOUR ICON YOU FAT PIG!!!
I am sooo sick of Hollywood bashing Bush. They all jump on the I hate Bush bandwagon. Bush is not the greatest president but he is far from being a fascist.
JC, you are exactly what I am talking about, a fat-person that self-justifies their being fat. Yeah, I'm sure you go to the gym every day and really work out hard and properly. And you don't eat the wrong things either. That's why you are fat and gross. Let me guess, you're "big boned", or else you have a "glandular" problem. Face it, fat people are weak and probably have less brainpower because, after all, what intelligent person is going to continue to stuff disgusting food in their pie-hole when they know it is going to harm their bodies and their social standing. And no, if you are overweight, you are not healthy, you are causing your heart and cardiovascular system to have to work twice as hard as normal people. Fatty.
Singer Darren Hayes arrested
THE former frontman of Savage Garden, Darren Hayes, has been arrested for an alleged racist attack on a waiter at a Thai restaurant in London.
Hayes fronted police in London last Friday night, where he was arrested for racially abusing a member of staff at Busaba Eathai in Wardour Street on July 22. The attack did not involve physical violence, but is believed to have been directed at a male member of staff.
Hayes was released on bail.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "We can confirm that a 35-year-old man was arrested by Westminster police on suspicion of racially abusing a member of staff.
"He was arrested after voluntarily attending a Central London police station by appointment. He has been released on bail pending further enquiries, until the 21st of September."
The spokesman would not comment further.
A manager at the Soho restaurant, who did not want to be named, confirmed the incident and said that it involved a verbal attack by Hayes on a member of staff.
He said restaurant staff reported the incident to police, who took statements on July 23. He said the victim had returned to work, and the matter was now being left in the hands of police.
The incident follows Hayes's public criticism of the Prime Minister, John Howard, on a visit to Australia a week ago, for his stance on homosexuality.
Hayes hit out at the need for his partner, Richard Cullen, who he married in London last year, to fly to Australia on a tourist visa.
"It makes me angry and frustrated," Hayes told News Ltd newspapers. "I'm Australian and the way the law sits I can't bring my partner home as my partner.
"That to me is an infringement of my civil rights - a very un-Australian thing.
"I would never have voted for John Howard and I encourage people not to. I don't think he speaks for this country in the same way I don't think George Bush speaks for the US."

JP, get some help, you need it. Not only did you not pay attention to what I wrote ( writing about a friend who is not petite but is still healthy ) you obviously have some hatred brewing inside of you towards people who aren't stick thin. Did a large person touch you in bad places when you were little? Is this why you harbor such contempt? Let it go man, just let it go. Meds can help and therapy. I'll pray for you.
JC, no I read EXACTLY what you wrote. Your "friend" is fat, and you are merely a casual observer. Or, in your words, she is "not petite". Which, of course, means "she" is fat. Yes, you are right, I harbor ill-will towards fat people. Read my earlier post. They are weak and stupid. And, as I said, people that are "not petite" are NOT healthy. They are damaging their hearts and cardiovascular systems, which have to work twice as hard to maintain their fat, smelly, disgusting bodies.
I am in love with beth Ditto. Seriously. I want to make out with her like…woah!!! Crazy.
She is DISGUSTING!!! What do you like her so much!!! She doesn't even have enough respect for herself to lose some weight and be healthy, why would I give an eff about her political views?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Beth Ditto is a very sweet girl and I didn't know that she's kinda smart too! About 4-5 years ago, my band opened up for the gossip and we were first of three bands the gossip being last. The second band got a better slot than us because they were long friends of the club owner even though our band was much better. Beth came up to us and made friends right away and made a big stink to the club staff saying it wasn't fair that we played first, blah blah. She was a sweetie is my point.
she may be big, but she fucking works it.
team beth!
Her heroine is Miss Piggy. I think that's all we really need to know about her.
Ok I really like her now
She is awsome! I love the way she acts like she doesn't give a shit. She is from America to those who don't know and over a half of america is fat, so why you people got a problem with her, she is cool !!
VOTE FOR JOHN EDWARDS HE IS GAY FRIENDLY AND HIS WIFE IS ACTIVE IN THE GAY COMMUNITY!!!!
Beth seriously needs to go on a diet, if I ever see her her in skin tight shit again, Ill puke
I do love what she has to say though
Beth Ditto turns me on.
she's fat.
yeah i'm not surprised you love miss piggy most likely cause you look just like her
She may be a way sexy fattie-lesbo-rocker, but her grasp of world affairs is at the level of your typical rebellious hipster doofus in wearing a che shirt.

Do your research asshole! Someone's weight usually has little to do with the status of their health. Some people are born bigger and can do nothing about it. I;'m sure Beth Ditto could eat fucking one salad every day, run the treadmill and she'd still look relatively the same.
But god bless your perfect genes.
Beth you are a disgusting fat slob and you are doing larger people no favours by showing your horrible lardy flesh and your greedy gob. Get some slim fat!
yum…shallow people unite.
i think there should be a genocide soon.
the world doesn't revolve around appearance. it's okay to step away from yr mirror once in a while.
you people are scum. you are what is wrong with this world. kill yrselves please.
thanks bitches.
Muah!!=)
