Anna Wintour To Oprah: ‘Lose Some Weight, Fatass!’
Anna Wintour told Oprah that she needed to drop at least twenty pounds to be featured on the cover of Vogue and Chase Crawford is set to star in the remake of Footloose.
- Back in 1998, Anna Wintour refused to allow Oprah to be on the cover of Vogue unless she lost a bunch of weight. Anna later relented after seeing people who looked like “little houses” on a trip to Minnesota and decided that her magazine needed to educate people on the dangers of being a fat fuck. [Daily News]

@Fry_Bread_Power: Well, it worked, right? And then Oprah relapsed, got thryoid trouble, or whatever.
She was on the Oct. 1998 cover, with a waist.

@crotchety: Hazelden, Mayo, etc.
So,it says in the Ryan P article that he was partying til 3 a.m. with Ne-Yo. NE-YO. Whom he met for lunch the next day. Methinks if he's cheating on his woman, it ain't with no blondes...knahmean?

The soul of Mickey's last chihuahua?
Tart of Darkness is stuck with dialup due to Earhlink's snafus and apparent disinterest. We will be changing ISPs soon. I hope.
Remake of Footloose = Terrible Shitty Idea. No wonder an A-lister passed on it, he wants to avoid being known for a so-bad-it's-hilarious flick bound to be watched by stoned college students (they can file it next to the American Idol movie with Justin Guarini and Kelly Clarkson).

@uncivily obedient: That's what I thought about Channing Tatum, but then the opening dance scene of Step Up proved me wrong and made me want him to do me that much more.

@jbwan: JT's too old, and Zac Efron passed.

I cannot take fashion/beauty suggestions from a woman whose own hair seems to want to devour her face. And those arms. Darling, you're getting older. You are thin, yes, but you are scrawny and at your age it is time to put those sleeveless tops away.
@scroll_lock: HA!
@bytememehard: I emailed my mom the pic of him scooping poop and she wrote back "we have so much in common! Call me, Hugh!" Oh, moms.
Hell, I'd pick up Hugh Jackman poop (if I had self-esteem issues, which I most certainly do not)!
Anna Wintour went to Minnesota?

@blix: That cape makes her ass look big.

@scroll_lock:
@blix: : And they didn't blend the foundation, which was three shades too dark, along her jawline AT ALL. Her helmet hair was shellacked with Aquanet and her shoes were sensible.
@BookishLookish: In a daring escape attempt she pulled on several pairs of Spanx and was almost squeezed into the past.
crawford? I thought it would go to singer/dancing sensation JT or zach Efron.

@scroll_lock: The girls who stock the makeup aisle held her down and put Cover Girl foundation all over her face, and Oil of Olay on her wretched, wrinkly arms. Then they sprayed her with Charlie.
Oh come one now, people.
Anna merely suggested to Oprah that maybe Oprah would feel more comfortable losing a few pounds before she appeared on the cover of Vogue.
Then she added, "Darling, no one wants to appear on our cover looking like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in a dress."
@blix: And then she was force-fed Hot Pockets (on sale 2/$3.29) until she said favorable things about pull-on pants and wind suits.
@scroll_lock: Moments after entering the Walmart she developed a rash and her hair began to fall out in clumps.
Anna told Oprah that if Oprah were a trailer she'd be a double-wide. At that point, a light breeze arrived and carried Anna headfirst into a Walmart, where employees forced her to try on clothing under fluorescent lighting.
Vanessa Minillo has people?

Snore. Yes, Anna, we are all big fat pigs, thanks. I'd like to get that scrawny English bitch in a headlock and make her cry "eclair."
Team Little Brick House, y'all.
@Jackish: Little houses. I wish I thought of that.
@podbaydoor:
Considering the current reports regarding Wintour's precarious grip on the Vogue editorship, it looks like Oprah had to wait ten full years and then some to exact her revenge.
rudi_freude
Ooo Anna talking to the Mighty Oprah that way. This will not end well.

@uncivily obedient, go forth and comment: Footloose and fancy-free?
Oy Veh (Informality Reigns)
To be fair, who hasn't accidentally sat on some strange man's lap while pounding back the vodka's in Vegas?
Oy Veh (Informality Reigns)
If AW thinks Americans are too fat, she should get on her broom and fly back to where she came from where everyone is svelte like her. Even if Americans are too fat, don't need or want to be educated by someone whose ideas of beauty are so screwed up.
Jackish
Big deal. Of course, this goes against every self-help grain in Oprah's body but doesn't it make her human? Who wouldn't want to look good on the cover of Vogue?
As much as I hate Cruella, and as much as I barf at the banality of Oprah and her feeble-minded goodisms, I have to say... so what?
monkeyzetterland
I can't see Crawford being a good dancer; he doesn't seem to be.....well, loose.
That story about Anna and Oprah was reported at the time of the cover.
In other news, Bill Clinton is diddling his intern...

@Mama Penguino: Typo alert: That's " . . . a man who'd pass up . . . ."
@BookishLookish: No shit. Show me a man who's pass up a sweet little house like yours. Never happen!
@son of spam: I think it sounds really sweet and homey. Like, "hey, sailor, wanna come take a long, slow tour of my little house?" or "Girl, your little house is looking spic and span!" or "Now, baby, now! Pump my little house full of love!" or even "Ugh. I've neglected my little house all weekend and now it's crammed full of crap."
@BookishLookish: An eclair sounds pretty good about now, doesn't it?
href="#c12953327">rudi_freude: She was on the Oct. 1998 cover, so it must have worked.
