Hello room service? Yes, I'd like some fruit to go with my cottage cheese, please. Thank you.

CourageousCoward

Molly, you brave woman... just wait until the jezzies find out about this.

Women of America: strength training is your friend. Or even just taking the stairs once in a while.

heidiho

Hey Molly. I have defended you in the past when detractors have said that all your posts are take downs of female celebrities. But you're not exactly doing yourself any favours, you know?

Benny

Someone needs to send this girl a Thigh-Master and an I.V with an avacodo drip.

TurdBlossom

you seriously wrote an article about a woman with cellulite. and i seriously read it.

we're all going to hell. but you first, douchebag.

Kmoney

It makes one wonder if perhaps Miss Molly herself has a few extra pounds back there?

HwoodHills

I just lost IQ points.

Sweet Panda Love

Ok, how does she lay out in the sun so much and stay so pale?

Juancho

"Showing off"???
Maybe she's just living her life.

Adele H

I'm certainly not above ripping on the ocean of chewed bubble gum laid out before us, but for a site that takes the time to publish Miss Demeanors every Friday this certainly seems to be crossing the line.

Leviticus_71

Oh, that's not so bad. What's the big deal...it's fun to jiggle it.

EDogII

This was really cheap and kind of embarrassing. I like to think that the snarkiness of Defamer is 9 out of 10 times awesome sarcasm and wit.

This?

This is TMZ.

Is this the beginning of The End, Defamer? Soon to be just another cheap, unintelligent place for morons to get showbiz info?

I hope not.

This is the lowest post I've ever read after years of being a big fan.

HwoodHills

I didn't know it was physiologically possible for a 22-year-old backside to reach such a state.
Is there any chance these photos were photoshopped to smear on a layer of cottage cheese?

JRS-One

@Benny: Hey Benny. Well I predicted the commenter onslaught on this one. Here's the thing: I'm not at all writing a piece saying, "Hey guys, look! Mischa has cellulite and looks gross!" I'm pointing out the fact that celebrities are (cringing to use this phrase, but here goes...) "just like us." Mischa's other bikini pictures were set up; here's the real Mischa. It's refreshing.
@HwoodHills: See my response to Benny above, but in addition: maybe I do, maybe I don't. (This is the internet, pictures of we bloggers are out there, so find out for yourself if you do really "wonder.") But I also recommend comparing this post to TMZ's post on the exact same images.

Again, I wrote about this as someone relieved to learn stars like Mischa are just as imperfect as the rest of us. TMZ: "Got Cottage Cheese?" And that's all they wrote. I hope you might reconsider your statement that "This is TMZ."

I'll be here all day folks! Keep it comin'.

Molly Friedman

Okay, count me in. I don't want to pig pile you, Molly, but it's true. I've often wondered why you dislike women so much and been tempted to prescribe an internship over at Jez.

@HwoodHills: I understand. I hardly visit Defamer anymore.

crotchety

@HwoodHills: @Benny:
Yes, and maybe we should see some rear shots of Molly in a bikini. I'm sure we'll all be curdling too. Mark L. is probably turning over in his. . .wherever he is now.

Miss Anne Thrope

Harsh sunlight is nobody's friend.

Probably why she was heading inside.

Knew the dark shadows from the light overhead would exacerbate the appearance of the ripples.

Alas...we still wait for a cure.

MartyPants

@Molly Friedman: But you DID say this:
"...yes, Barton apparently suffers from that all-too-common ass-flappy affliction rampant among most gym-fearing young ladies"
Cellulite is genetic, and going to the gym will not necessarily do anything to make it better. Toned muscle, lower body fat, flattering lighting,a good moisturizer and a nice tan will make it look better, but if you got it, you got it. But it is refreshing to see a celebrity in real light.

mwynn13

@Molly Friedman: Hey Molly! For the record, I didn't malign your intentions. They are yours to know. I perhaps question your judgement given that you've been criticised on this issue before. But then again, if you're happy to take the heat then go ahead and stay in the kitchen. It is to be expected though, you know? People will react to this stuff. :)

Benny

@Molly Friedman: I think some of the anger is that you're quite attractive (assuming that's you in your avatar) and this is more like something Perez would write.

Juancho

@Molly Friedman:
(This is the internet, pictures of US bloggers are out there, so find out for yourself if you do really "wonder.")

I have a much bigger problem with your grammar.

Miss Anne Thrope

*Sigh*

Calraigh

@Molly Friedman: I think this situation calls for the creation of a "Relax, it's just the internet" tag.

heidiho

@Molly Friedman: Well I predicted the commenter onslaught on this one.

So, this seems to happen every time you post something like this, so much that you can predict it. And every time, you end up having to post an explanation telling people they're misinterpreting your intent. When it happens as often as it seems to here, it usually that means the problem is the writer, not the readers. You shouldn't have to be constantly telling us, no, you guys, that's not what I meant!

major disaster

@Kmoney: LOL thanks for making me laugh, now I do not feel bad about reading this.

MissFiFi

@Miss Anne Thrope: Come on, this is the commenter section. I was just riffing on "We the people," and am truly sorry if this offended you or ruined your day.

@major disaster: When you say "the readers" and "us," you're referring to an incredibly small percentage of people across the blogosphere who have read this piece and taken the time to comment. I don't "have to post an explanation telling people" anything. I do like to respond to the handful or so who read the item and found it problematic.

@heidiho: Appreciated.

Molly Friedman

Molly, you're wrong, and you know it. Using weak excuses like, "I'm only commenting the few who replied with exceptions to it" (my paraphrase), is just as weak, if not weaker.

Defamer ISN'T TMZ so using their thin post as an excuse of this being better is the weakest excuse yet.

But chances are you won't reply to this because it's already off the front page.

Defamer is better than that.

Sure, we jest and joke about countless stupid things, but most of them are stupid actions and attitudes. Not physical elements.

You poked fun at someone who yes, strives for a perfect image and is, yes, more than a little annoying and un-talented, but you did so in a cheap, seemingly "Knock her off a peg" way.

It reads far more like an ugly girl in highschool who hates the popular cheerleaders than a beautiful woman poking fun at her own kind.

Cal it what you will, but most Defamer readers/posters are better than that. Not everyone posts to call you on it, but from the amount who DID post here?

C'mon.

You're bringing the ship down, ki.

Suck it up and admit you have some issues.

We all do.

HwoodHills

You make me ashamed of women in the media.
First- you insult, poke fun of and tactlessly "joke" about an extremely thin girl (who is finally looking healthy by the way) for being afflicted with something 90% of American women have.

You do this in a long, rambling story featuring no real news-worthy facts (beyond the fact that this girl has finally picked up a badly-needed sandwich), badly-written snark and a plea to all women to not only despise this part of their bodies, but actually hide it from the public.

THEN you try to make it seem like you were in support of the "ever-day" woman the whole time- that your snarks about Mischa's curves and her need to hide in the dark somewhere instead of "showing off" (it's a god damned BALCONY- not a stage), were meant to be supportive of every-day bodies. If she should hide, what should a normal woman do? Wear a burka on their balconies?
Your public hatred of women and their bodies from your high media tower is dusgusting and illustrates what is wrong with modern media's pro-ana addiction.
Nobody is perfect.
All women are beautiful.
I thought we were supposed to be on the same team...

Trades-woman

@HwoodHills: So true. And with all of her wordy bitchiness, she didn't even say "we the bloggers", on which she was claiming to riff.

I guess being a blogger is not the same as being a competent writer. And if you have to keep justifying your posting there is something seriously wrong with it.

Miss Anne Thrope

@Miss Anne Thrope:

Well, not everyone's going to dig your stuff. (We're talking about a potential audience of 6b people here.)

I'm sure there are people who don't like a great many number of posts here for one reason or another.

This post is listed as one of the most read here so hopefully there's a lesson learned.

We certainly ain't geniuses here (as noted by my many late night typos) but we're better than most sites.

Let's not become TMZ.

It's too easy.

But there's no reply from Molly, as predicted, so let's bury it and move on.

Everyone has a bad day.

HwoodHills

@Miss Anne Thrope: @HwoodHills: And here is the reply from Molly (blogging, believe it or not, is a full-time job!).

I have only two things to say before putting this to bed.

One: I find it bizarre to accuse someone of "wordy bitchiness" after predicting pictures of me in a bikini would make everyone "curdle" just a few posts above. Maybe it's just me, but that's far meaner than anything I wrote about Mischa.

Two: Nope, not everyone's going to "dig your stuff," and that's something every blogger knows while writing their daily posts. That said, Defamer is not the AP. Inserting an opinion into a post separates blogs from objective news outlets. Disagreeing with my opinion is perfectly acceptable, but taking so much time to aggressively respond with derogatory comments is something I find, again, far more catty than anything I've ever written. I suppose that's the advantage of anonymity granted to commenters.

Molly Friedman

@Juancho: How does she eat so little and yet look so bad?

spanktastic

Your tone does not imply relief that she is "one of us".

I believe this is a ship-sinker as well and long for the days of magic Mark L.
