Wtf is gorgeous about this fat ass person… I guess that the gold cloth is covering up most of her fat ass? geez… stop being so damn bias perez… that woman is obese, and should diet and excercise to obtain a healthy weight. You should not encourage obesity anymore than you should encourage anorexia… FUCKING MORON!!!!

to all the beth haters I think she is deemed gorgeous because of her personality more than her face/body - she just sparkles with charisma and is so confident, bubbly and happy with IMO makes her very sexy!!

Although im obviously either very naive or very out of touch - or both but I had no idea she was a lesbian, eek!
so confused says – reply to this

32

Ok, im confused, Perez called Britney fat after the VMA's, but calls this beached whale gorgeous???????? WTF?????? I don't know anything about her and she may be cool and talented, but come on……Hello, fat is not gorgeous or healthy. Her blood pressure is probably sky high and her heart is working overtime trying to keep up with all that mass she's carying around.
PlanetJ says – reply to this

This woman is scary looking. If she was straight you'd call her a fatass Perez!

how did the gossip get so famous? i saw the gossip twice before they made it big, at hole in the wall venues. And this is even when they were promoting standing in the way of control. and then out of nowhere they are everywhere…

Hi Perez… I think the photo is more reminiscent of a Botero painting. That photograph is stunning!

Thunderstud says – reply to this

ROTF! Only a Amy Skankhouse-loving fat fruit would think a bloated dyke is hot. What do you call that photo, Beached Whale a la Reubens? The problem with that is Reubens' fatties weren't ugly.

Super Cherry says – reply to this

You are so uneducated Perez, Botticelli never painted the obese you are confusing him with BOTERO who painting fat people.

Beth Ditto could not be a Botticelli until she lost about 75 pounds. Get your Art history straight you dumb bitch.
Jessy says – reply to this

49

Perez, take it from a prospective PhD student… REUBENS is all about the fleshy women. Botticelli's women were too tall and wiry to even come close to looking like Miss Ditto.
kk says – reply to this

50

You praise this HUMONGOUS woman and call her beautiful but yet call Girls such as Lauren & Britney all sorts of things. THEY are the beautiful women, Beth Ditto knows she is fat and ugly so she makes up for it by beind weird and doing off the wall things to TRY to take the attention away from her FATTNESS!!! She is UGLY!!!!
neme says – reply to this

51

she should go back in the closet because she is hideous - she makes me wish i were straight.
CATHAZAT says – reply to this

52

Re: so confused – YEAH, well anorexia isn't beautiful either. People need to get over fat in our culture. There are many obese people who do not have the complications you think they might. Also, they don't eat as much as people think, either. Genetics have a lot to do with body type. She is GENUINE and her body type doesn't matter.

You've never heard of her? maybe your pop culture knowledge is too US centric, she is quite famous in the UK but I don't think she's well known elsewhere. As for people saying Perez is a hypocrite for the way he calls some people fat and some not, I don't completely agree. One of the things that I like about Perez is that he judges people against their own standards most of the time. Beth is an inspiring woman.

Re: Perez Eats Shit coming out of my Ass –

I love the fact that you're talking so much shit, yet you so sound so ignorant yourself. For the record, it's needs to lose, not needs to lost and your is you're. Atleast get some punctuation and grammar correct before you start trashing someone.

Thanks!

Why is our country glorifying obesity?
Clare says – reply to this

71

Here is my question…

Why do you insist on tearing apart all the super thin women when they gain 5 pounds and calling them fat, but you refer to this woman, who is obviously obese, as gorgeous? Both ends of that scale are as dangerous to ones health as the other.

Now, honestly, I am not one of those people who make fun of fat people, or the very thin, but I do question your double standard here. I know it is your job to be an asshole for shock value, but you are just adding fuel to that never ending fire that is the pressure on women to be 'perfect'.

Why? Why would anyone in the public eye such as yourself, which so many chances to do something good, use that to make other people feel so bad about themselves. I don't mean celebrities- just everyday people? It's just sad you can't think of something better to do with your 15 minutes.

of course she's out and proud, what man would want her fat ass? perez you are getting really boring. you are a fat slob, and you rip on anyone who isnt tiny, yet you talk shit about anorexics AND you adore this fat piece of shit. do something good for your health and develop a cocaine habit so you can work harder and get skinnier. and no one cares about half of the people you put up, like all the brits and what not. give us good old fashioned american celeb gossip

Dresden Disney-Dior says – reply to this

78

Perez, you have a problem and it's showing. You called Britney FAT, but I guess that's because Britney is a heterosexual, Now, take Beth Ditto a lesbian, compared to Britney, well Brit would be invisible. You're a brown noser, Perez! If Demi or Bruce invited you over to thier house for dinner, you'd go! Toting candy and flowers, not a leash and muzzle for Rumer. Have you EVER taken a good look at Rumer, Perez? She's a beauty. Too bad you can only see ugly. I guess that stems from looking into the mirror all your life.
Stop the brown nosing and start writing.

What a fat nasty PIG…"what's the saying pig in a poke". She's a good 6 months from a heart attack
Nicole says – reply to this

81

Just because she's fat and a lesbian does not automatically make her 'gorgeous' or 'amazing'. its like "look that person is asian, jewish, a lesbian and really fat~lets praise her to make oursevles feel good.

beth ditto could very well be a beautiful person, but don't single her out as such because…well she's fat and likes vagina.
i'm sick of this politcally corect bullshit perez.

If this woman were Asian, African American, Hispanic, whatever! Anything but White, all of you hypocrites would defame her like satan, but because she's white and a dyke, you give her a free pass. You people are more hypocritical than Larry Craig.

I was going to make some lame comment about her weight but then I thought about Mama Cass. If I had not listened to her magical voice because of her size I would be less of a person. I'm going to buy a Beth Ditto CD and give her a listen. If it isn't good, I'll be back…………………..

seriously Perez, stop with your own agenda. You and Ditto are both disgustingly obese. I can't believe people worship Beth Ditto, she's mediocre at best and fat as fuck.

Re: K_Wood –

That's weird you haven't heard of her. She is front woman for "The Gossip". They are pretty well known, especially in the underground scene. You should listen to some of their stuff…it's not bad:)

I am on this website everyday and have seen Perez posing with this woman and only knew that she was a singer of some sort. I had no idea she was a lesbian, I am incredibly turned on by her now that I know… I love a thick woman.

vomit! seriously? who would find this attractive but a fatty gay man looking for a fag hag. elvira hair. stupid, ugly face. fat calves. (puke!!) don't be such a tool of the fag media you blobby piece of shit. nasty!
velvetflip says – reply to this

97

I love the double standard…because this fat fuck is a butch dyke, you praise her. But if she were straight, you'd rip her apart. Being that fat and ugly is offensive, no matter what your sexual preference.

Prince William & Kate Middleton's Baby Birth Will Be Announced On Twitter!?

Back when Prince William was born, the tradition was to post a note announcing the birth on the front gates of Buckingham Palace!

But times have changed, and William and Kate Middleton's child will be announced a bit differently- via Twitter!

According to Now Magazine, the news of the royal baby's birth will be posted immediately to the Clarence House website, which will automatically tweet the story!

But the Palace wants everyone to know, they are NOT planning on bucking tradition. They officially stated:
