Alex Blimes Is A Douche
Filed under: Beth Ditto
In a recent column, British journalist Alex Blimes blasted Beth Ditto, her band the Gossip, and the entire fashion industry, calling them outright "stupid."
Blimes calls the fashion industry's love for Ditto a transparent ploy to "get the feminazis off their case," adding that Ditto is "just as bad an example to young women as a girl ten stone lighter than her."
Commenting on the release of the Gossip's fourth album, Music for Men, Blimes calls them a "deeply average, resolutely unsuccessful rock band."
Um, let's see…which name do you recognize more instantly? Beth Ditto and the Gossip or Alex Blimes?

guyz go easy on the weight time.. You are going to it if you don't fken Od first
How is morbid obesity a good example to anyone? Type II diabetes, over here please! Gross.
I never even heard of Beth Ditto before you started blogging about her.
Never heard of Alex Blimes before, but I sure the hell know who Beth Ditto is! Keep on rockin Beth!!!
i dont agree with him but this: "Um, let's see…which name do you recognize more instantly? Beth Ditto and the Gossip or Alex Blimes?" is an idiotic statement. he is a journalist, not a celebrity, a journo's job is to comment on subjects, they arent obliged to be more famous than the subject they are talking about you wanker
He's fucking right. Beth Ditto is a fucking ugly bitch ass cow and The Gossip is one of the worst bands around.
She is a bitch…and her band sucks…and it's looking like I'm not the only one who thinks so– If they don't "suck," they ARE "deeply average"–
yeah exactly, who the ffuck is alex blimes? i personally give srs kudos to beth ditto for having the balls to be who she is and be proud of it too. annnd i like their music. soooo he can s. a d.
woah wtf is that? and uhh i give a shit perez. haha.=)
i agree with blimes. i dig some of their music but it all ends up sounding the same. If they were a truly great band, they would have hit top 10 status by now, despite Ditto's disgusting appearance. There is nothing sexy about women with diabetes & heart conditions, especially when they can;t walk up a flight of stairs. Celebrating larger body sizes is great. Celebrating unhealthy living is an entirely different matter.
he's totally right.
Who cares about either? Lame.
I personally believe that beth dito is a beautiful woman, but agree that she should not be glamourized in the fashion industry or any industry due to her size. It is an unhealthy size. Perez, you yourself know that being overwheight is a health issure and that Beth should be taking care of herself.
Ok, so i think i am all for miss dittos positive body image idea, but do it with some class… hairy arm pits, an aversion to deodorant and public nudity! shame on you perezeito! you trash all the skinny bitches that do that, just because she is not stick thin doesnt give her a free pass to be gross, and she is mostly gross all the time, or in every picture that is not a real "photo shoot" picture.
NEITHER!!!! SHE MAY BE ON YOUR RADAR….BUT NOT MINE. FUCK BOTH OF EM
i dont like them… Beth is so rude and thinks highly of herself!
I didnt like her since the moment she said " she doesnt find LED ZEPPELIN GOOD"
wow!!! like they can be better!
Seriously, Beth Ditto's a fat hooker with no talent. There's a reason her band's not popular, and it's not because they aren't "mainstream." If anything, the indie stuff has become mainstream. They're just mediocre. She's quasi-famous because she dresses like a mentally ill 44 year old and is a bitch about things. And, for some reason, you've got this double standard of Jessica Simpson gaining 5lbs and being a whale, but Beth Ditto's gorgeous? Yeah, let's talk about how her fat ass needs to be the main attraction at sea world. You're biased, full of double-standards, and a piss poor person. You were a fatty too, at one point, don't forget.
Alex Blimes. Who the fuck is Ditto?
beth ditto is disgusting. being that fat isn't healthy or cool. its just gross.
i had never even heard of beth ditto or the gossip until bitch blasted katy perry
Uh…is this CNN? Unfair and biased….yes,I think it is.It is his opinion and mine too.They do suck and their look is not original.Andy Warhol would laugh at them for trying to rip he and Edie off!!She is a terrible role model…not because she is hefty but because she is unhealthy. Ditto should be wary of a health issues …nobody says you have to look like rail thin hollywood to fit in.
Great if she is happy being big.,but don't try to justify it with bullshit!!
Stop calling people a douche because they are not in like or love with your obsessions,Perez…I love Lady Gaga,but she IS getting played out already.
Re: SoCal –
Lol…on the money!
How the HELL is this band unsuccessful? because you've never heard of them? because you use her weight as a distraction from the real focus which is the MUSIC? because some journalist says their unsuccessful? They've put out four albums and they keep making music despite what people like you have to say about it. If you don't like her music fine but all the hate comments are nothing but shallow ignorant bullshit, with no valid point. "oMg shE so FuCkIn FaT so0o0o groSS!!1!!!! and UgH"
You see there are two taboos in this country.
Not being skinny and not being straight.
Beth Ditto is rising above that and that takes guts. Boo-Ya bitches.
(please send hatemail)
Fat fuck. her 15 minutes of fame are nearly over baby, it's squirrel for tea time very soon. Back to the caravan in the woods
Sorry but I agree with her. Being morbidly obese is so unhealthy. It's just as bad as being anorexic.
I mean I agree with him.
I actually agree with Alex Blimes. Beth Ditto is grossly overweight and needs to focus on her health.
