Idol Alum Get's Thrown A Curve

Filed under: TV News > American Idol

We forgot all about Kimberley Locke from American Idol, but someone else sure hasn't because the loser singer is getting a job.

It's a pretty good gig, if you consider that chubsters are taking over reality TV.

We've already been given a plus-sized version of the Bachelor & So You Think You Can Dance. It was only a matter of time before we got a big people sized Making the Band!

Making the Curve (clever!) will be hosted by the Idol alum and will follow talented, plus-sized women as they compete and strive to be apart of a "hit pop musical group."

Someone call Susan Boyle!

The show is currently not attached to a network, but we don't see that lasting long. Considering that the show's premise will definitely attract viewership and that the host will gladly accept spare change as pay, it sounds like a good deal for any Fall schedule.

      NICE SHORTS .. HA !!



    2. 2

      You didn't seem to think she was much of a loser on your Perez' Divas Special. She was kind enough to appear on your special and then you say this about her? This is in really poor taste (shocker there.)



    3. 3

      ugh, i am sssooo sick of fat people. can't they just go somewhere and die. remove their disgustingness from the gene pool.

      seriously people: if you are fat, DO NOT PROCREATE

      the world has enough lard asses



    4. 4

      Did you seriously just write that "chubsters" are taking over TV? Good news for you and your sister's fat asses! I'd quit complaining….now you have a better shot at television "chubsters."



    5. 5

      Fat people are taking over the world! No wonder healthcare costs so much!



    8. 8

      Why is she a loser exactly? She looks healthy and happy and doesn't' have a DUI under her belt.

      As someone who fights the battle of the bulge yourself it's just despicable for you to be so catty and mean towards those who are in the same boat. Shame on you Perez. Your comments are bitchy, nasty, and hypocritical.



    14. 14

      Re: james__01 – Dude you're seriously a moron..I hope you didn't procreate because it's dbags like you that make our world think negatively and we cannot grow as people because of closed minded asses like you. And for you Perez..I am so sick of you bashing 'chubby' folk don't you remember not that long ago you were one of us. Just because you hate the skin you're in doesn't mean everyone does! You need to stop being a hypocrite because you can't say 'chubsters are taking over' (in a negative way) and then praise Beth Ditto for being a rebel and embracing herself make up your mind!!



    15. 15

      Re: james__01 – Your mama must be so proud.



    16. 16

      Reading some of the comments on here disgusts me. I can't believe how cruel people are. To sit there and talk about people because of their weight! No wonder America is so messed up. The people who sit there and talk all of this crap about other people are the ones who are ugly, inside and out. I know more beautiful, kind, chunky people than I do slim people. Seriously, get a life. You're only making yourselves look ridiculous.



    17. 17

      wow, you should try out for that show. seriously lardass, you're one to bash fat people.



    18. 18

      Re: james__01 – STFU! you're an asshole.



    19. 19

      hey, all you fat haters! you can take your judgmental asses somewhere where somebody cares! quit judging people! go jump off a cliff, no one cares about YOU.
      And Perez, you're a chubster yourself. Maybe you can get on the show!!



    20. 20

      You know it's people like you and "james_01" that cause young girls all over this country to become anorexic & bulimic, everyday! "fat people", that is just ridiculous. And Perez, you should be ashamed of yourself! Since when did you lose 100lbs and become goregous? She may be "bigger" than the anorexic looking celebrities but I'm sure she has class which is something that people like you and James can't gain or lose! It's one thing to gossip about people but to come on a public blog and call people fat because they don't weigh 80 lbs, is something else. It's a serious issue that you should be educating others about instead of making it worst, since you obviously could do that, duhhh, use your celebrity power to do something worth something!!



    21. 21

      There is no apostrophe in "gets". Spell check you moron!



    22. 22

      Re: tasha – Exactly what I was thinking.



    23. 23

      And Annie, c'mon! I have 1 word to say for you- IGNORANT- can you spell that?? How do you look at yourself in the mirror everyday? People like you shouldn't be allowed to open their stupid mouths, ughhhh! DISGUSTING!



    24. 24

      perez, look at yourself before you start criticizing people. you're just a celebrity bottom feeder using lady gaga's scraps to help your "career." just go and post a cruel remark about michael jackson's death since that's all you know how to do.



    25. 25

      You have a very short memory Perez! You used to be a CHUBSTER remember?



    26. 26

      Re: james__01 – Are you serious? Okay, here's thenew list of people that is still okay to make fun of" adult men, christians, jews, and fat people (aka anyone larger than a size 4). Why do you hate fat people so much? Are they breaking in and raiding your fridge on a regular basis? FFat people make me cringe a little, too. I am ashamed of that. But the vitriol some of you spew about fat people, well, lets just say I can practically see the rabid foam spewing from your mouth.



    27. 27

      I do not understand Perez your standard on weight. You call this woman a chubster and yet praise beth ditto, and yet not only is she large, but isnt very pretty either. where do you get off. as someone who struggles with your weight, you should be a little more aware of the words you use. dont use put downs, if anything simply notice that a lot of reality tv shows are geared towards heavier adults. but dont be such a hypocrite to call one woman chubby and another one a diva and fierce. and your tokyo ginge look is DISGUSTING!!!!!



    28. 28

      Perez, there is absolutely NO occasion where an apostrophe is needed in the word "gets" - never never never!



    29. 29

      I find it hilarious that you lose all of this weight and then become even more of a bitch towards those that are heavier. So you hated it when you were fat and now you are ok with calling people names because you lost weight? Who the hell do you think you are? Losing weight does not give you the right to become more of a bitch towards everyone else



    30. 30

      Perez, you ignorant slut,

      For someone with a muffin top and man boobs, you sure have some nerve. At least KM is attractive which is more than can be said for your ugly mug.
      .
      You ugly fat hack. You suck.



    31. 31

      Perez - seriously your such a hypocrite. P.S. love your picture on wiki.



    32. 32

      You were more than a chubster once Perez, so you have no room to talk.



    33. 33

      Re: FaeRae_86 – You have a good point. Just wanted to say hi. Hope you are having a good day!



    34. 34

      Re: james__01 – P.S. It's the influence of people like you that "helped" me along the path to anorexia. Is anorexia exceptable to you?



    35. 35

      Enough reality already. Geez, some one write something.

      Because you wish your overweight parents had never given birth to you, passing on their genes?
      I'm sorry. It's terrible to hate yourself.



    37. 37

      I can't even stand to hear about yet another plastic reality show.
      Overweight, underweight, ideal weight or heavyweight .. don't care .. no more



    38. 38

      Wait did you just say chubster. As I recall your still a "chubster" yourself. Aren't you still working on your body? Your site used to be about celebrity gossip but now you just report the news after everyone else has already released it or use it to show your new "celebrity friends". Plus now all you do is make fun of people to make yourself feel better. UGH



    39. 39

      CHUBSTERS?? she not even that big you fuck. do you even own a mirror? YOUR FAT ASSHOLE. you honestly make me sick.



    40. 40

      wow perez i cant believe you just said that!
      you hav absolutely no room to be talking about "chubsters"
      i love you but thats just messed up



    41. 41

      This really upsets me that someone who used to be of the larger weight scale, you, would talk about others in this way. People need to get over how people look and start talking positively about each other. It is people like you Perez and some of the other comments I read here from other people, that put society down and think that everyone needs to be 80 lbs or under a size 4 (as someone else put). Do you realize how UNHEALTHY that is? People need to get over the image in their head that we need to look that way because WELCOME to the 21st century we are not size 4 and below anymore. Does my weight or anyone else’s really affect you haters? America is growing in population and weight yes and I am glad people who have extra meat on their bones are getting on to TV and following their dreams. That is ridiculous to not let people have their dreams too just because of their image. No wonder why people are so depressed and suicidal and gaining weight. Perez, question for you, did you feel like because you are in the "business of hurting others" that you had to lose the weight or was it a personal choice? I have some extra meat on my bones and I am completely healthy and am happy and wouldn’t trade my body in for a size 4. They are the ones who are the most unhappy in life



    42. 42

      CONT. This topic really bothers me and I think discrimination is unacceptable on so many levels. Race, weight, gay or straight, disability or not, smart or not so smart, wear glasses or done, red hair or blonde etc….So if the country wants us to accept Race and Gay's shouldn’t we also accept everyone as they are no matter what they are or what they look like? Think about it people. If someone in your family became "fat (as people put it)" would you continue making these comments or stop because it is hurtful? Come on America look at yourself in the mirror and decide if it really is OK to bash others for not coming to YOUR standards of what AMERICA should look like. Lastly, someone made a comment about “no wonder healthcare costs are rising.” THAT IS ridiculous. I am in the Insurance business and weight lost surgery’s are not even getting paid for usually it is out of the person’s pocket. The people who are anorexic are the ones constantly in the doctor’s office or hospital or in special hospitals to help them out. Why aren’t you discussing them as being the cause for healthcare costs? And the issues with Health Care has NOTHING to do with that, it is the government and their funding and their taking care of bills and Doctors and Hospitals. I would know as I work in the business. Maybe you should get the facts before you start throwing stuff out there.



    43. 43

      Fuck you Perez-you are a fat fuck of a pig! No matter how much weight you loose-you will still look like a pig!!



    44. 44

      Perez, YOU are still a "chubster." You used to be a fat ass. Stop being such an "I'm better than you" queen. Douche.



    45. 45

      um, srsly Perez? You're calling Kimberly Locke fat, but you do nothing but praise Beth Ditto, who is 10x larger than Kimberly!!! You really suck. I don't even know why I come here, I must secretly hate myself or something. You really are a shithead.



    46. 46

      She is not fat.

      She is curvy. She is not skinny.

      But she is not fat.



    47. 47

      Perez,

      Every bit of this piece is nasty and and hurtful, hinging on intolerant. Didn't you just apologize to us a few months ago about saying hurtful things? I am very disappointed in you.



    48. 48

      Re: Paris France – Yep! The more nasties I hear on here, the more I appreciate you & all the other sane, nice, rational people!



    49. 49

      Re: Dixie77 – Good point. Also, she is tiny. I mean really, really short. She's as tanned and toned as a curvy short woman can be. If she were to lose enough weight to look the way "Jacob" thinks is acceptable, we'd have to put her in a hospital on an IV! Don't do it girl! I've been there; you can't get rid of your curves & whatever they put in those IVs for underfed people HURTS like, well, you know.



    50. 50

      As a so called fattie, while we shouldn't judge, we shouldn't also allow anyone a free pass to balloon up to whatever they want either. Yes, some of it is medical - but having a big mac everyday, with large fries shouldn't be praised. I've split my pelvic bone while pregnant, so while I'm not 100% excused, I can see the medical aspect. At 5'4 and 215lbs (down 10), I can barely breathe properly, my body is in physical pain from trying to carry the extra weight and there's excess pressure on my heart, while I've hit a few early markers for diabetes, and this is within the last 18 months of pregnancy and physical therapy. I'm working on getting down again of course, but I don't expect that while people should have courtesy not to blab about thicker people, we should also be realistic. Especially since what restaurants call mini-burgers these days were actual burgers only a few decades ago. A nation of glut cannot defend itself either.

      They certainly milk every hit t.v. show every which way. I guess they're trying to simultaneously make bank on the cachet of old Idol contestants, while tapping into that obvious (chubby but talented) underdog demographic that went nuts over Susan Boyle. It will water down the original Idol audience. We'll see.



    52. 52

      there is only one chubster perez………..and i saw it when i saw the "taking off your shirt video you so stupidly provided for us"……………as well as moobs. yuck.



    53. 53

      Wow, what's up with those shorts? This is a show I would not be interested in at ALL!!



    54. 54

      Re: james__01 – and I'm ssssooo sick of people who are sssooo sick of other people that they feel it is their place to tell them so! You should be sterilized.



    55. 55

      I recall a girl I knew in college who was heavy, not fat, just a little big. And somehow the topic came up about being overweight and the way others treat you when you are. Having ridden the scale myself I could relate, but not as much as she stated that it got so deep with being girl that it affected everything from the obvious (male attention) to finding a job. She said she preferred to be heavier and have people treat her for who she is and not what she looks like. It;s how she separated the real from the phony. You sir… are a fucking traitor.



    56. 56

      Re: imsoregistered – God bless you.



    57. 57

      53 comments. 3 about her. The rest about fat people. Something tells me if the show goes, they'd need a different host. This'll NEVER happen — just like all those all IDOLs talking about the albums their recording that either never get release or if they do, they sell 50 copies on a no-name label.

      58

      She is one of the most talent contestants they've ever had on the show. To see her "live" was amazing… I wish her luck with this show, but hope she still will drop another album… would love to see a Jhud duet.



    59. 59

      You people all make me laugh you diss perez for calling miss Kimberley Locke a chubster saying that its not right bla bla bla and i agree with you but please tell me what makes it okay for you to call him a usto be chubster….you guys are disgusted with someone who says these things yet some of you guys turn around and do it yourself. One of you even had a come back saying this; "you ignorant slut, For someone with a muffin top and man boobs, you sure have some nerve. At least KM is attractive which is more than can be said for your ugly mug." Please in lighten me and tell me what makes you a better person by being nasty and rude to someone. Your entitle to your opinion but I mean doesn't it bring you down to his level by dissing him like that!!? Plus we are all on his site for his gossip and comments anyway. Do you really expect anything more from him then that!! Personally i think Kimberly is looking good and she's really talented and I think that she will do great in whatever she takes on as for perez he must be doing something good because hes the one everybody knows and talks about im sure hes really successful at whatever he takes on rude comments and all!



    60. 60

      Re: Chrissy2009 – It's the hypocrisy that pisses people off. Plus, it's fun to kick the fatboyPerez around and call him out on it. No, we're not better and honestly, I'm a much lower form than Perez. I'm the kind of shizz you scrape off your shoe.



    61. 61

      SHE'S UUUUUUGLY!



    62. 62

      well, at least now i know what i WONT be watching



    63. 63

      Re: lastonestanding Sadly, that's a defense mechanism to stay heavy for what seems like good reasons. They hide behind whatever they call their true selves to remove the responsibility to other people's reactions. If it's what she truly preferred - the comments, the looks, the glares, those commercials and jobs wouldn't bother her. It does affect job interviewing wise. If you are timid about your body, that attitude comes right through to professionals trained to read your body. Not the size, but whether you tug at your clothes, cross your arms to cover your body, etc. You aren't comfortable and confident and who wants someone who won't fix the problem of their own to lead a company that way? Especially in visual sales. You work at Michael Kors… you wear the clothes but you are always tugging at them, trying to fix them to hide something… or the girl who is bigger than you is blaring a smile, walking gracefully and greeting the customers first. Which one, to a manager looks like they can sell more. One who looks like the clothes were made for her (in whatever size), or one who can't see to get comfy in those clothes?



    64. 64

      Re: Chrissy2009 – Ummmm, ever heard of the word "hypocrite"? That's why people are making such rude comments to him, because as someone who was once a large person, he should KNOW BETTER than to publicly call someone a "chubster", yeah he has a gossip blog but there is a difference between gossiping about celebrities and having no class at all and being a complete asshole! How would you feel if people were publicly calling you fat or ugly? This has nothing to do with her talent, it's a low blow and you should understand that!



    65. 65

      Yeah, she is such a loser that u did a show with her and said she was soooo great and that u loved her… 2 face much…. BTW yes she may be alil and i mean alil over weight but guess what she is still hot unlike the person who posted this blog…
