Crystal Renn is one of those models that used to be a size 00 and then she realized that her lifestyle was killing her literally and otherwise so she gave up on the whole starvation thing and returned to the modeling game as a plus-sized model. She’s a size 10 now, when she first returned to the scene she was a size 12. Average.

For the October issue of Vogue Paris, Crystal shot this spread with photographer Terry Richardson. Both Terry and Crystal have a history of doing somewhat scandalous and highly sexual photographs, so the two of them together were bound to come up with something we haven’t seen before.

But the binge-eating theme they dreamed up, while oddly sexy, is causing a lot of controversy. Some are saying that Crystal is encouraging either binge eating or trying to show people how ugly it can look. Personally, I think they’re awesome photos and I was so distracted by how interesting they were to look at that I didn’t think of what statement they were trying to make. And honestly? Homegirl’s not a fatty or something. She still looks like a model binging on pasta to me, and I don’t think that that’s something really worth blowing out of proportion.

What about you guys? Do you see why concerns are being raised, or do you think that this is just another series of odd photos from Terry Richardson?

We’re always fixated on the children of celebrities who don’t turn out normal, but in doing so we forget the other side: The children of celebrities that are so normal it’s fucking hilarious. Charlie Sheen’s oldest daughter, Cassandra Estevez, for example.

This weekend Charlie’s 25-year old daughter got married to her high school sweetheart and if that’s not normal and American enough, get this:

The bride, 25, who met Huffman in junior high, walked down the aisle with her dad to the tune of “Flightless Bird” from the Twilight soundtrack, carrying a bouquet of roses and calla lilies.

The couple said their non-denominational vows under a four-post altar made of birch branches and decorated with white organza, florals and crystals.

Something about how normal and awkward and socially stunted this seems totally appeals to every part of me. Here I was thinking that Hollywood just birthed kids with exotic names and drug problems. I mean, the Twilight soundtrack? That’s not just nerdy, but that’s like, nerdy and out-of-style. Love that. Just love it so much.

Thank God so many celebrities are stepping out to talk about bullying in schools after the suicides two gay teens have been making headlines. This is a subject that’s been deserving of our attention for so long because it’s always been a problem. Hell, I am not even gay and I still got called a dyke like, every single day of middle and high school.

But Lance Bass’ confession that he was a closet gay teen who bullied other gay teens mildly upsets me. Sure, that’s one possible reason that students are gay-bashing in the hallways, but general homophobia and ignorance seems like it effects much more of the population. Getting kids to stop bullying other kids because they might come off as closeted doesn’t really seem like the best way to convince people that it’s wrong.

And since we’re probably not going to cure a lot of the population’s ignorance before they die off, I’d also like to bring your attention to this video that sex columnist Dan Savage and his husband posted on their YouTube page. The It Gets Better Project is designed so that gay teens living in rural areas or feeling unaccepted in their environment have something to watch to let them know that there isn’t anything more difficult than being an unaccepted gay teen, but if you stick it through the rough years, you can have a wonderful, open and fulfilled life.

Dan Savage and his husbo are my favorite people, BTW.

I am. 10 PM. The Arclight. I’ve had my tickets for two days.

Personally, I can’t miss The Social Network simply because I’ve been hearing about the making of this movie for like, three years now. It’s time that I put it in my face and get it over with, you know?

But I’m also dying to check it out because I went to Boston College, one of the first six schools to even be open to Facebook. Yup, all the way back then when we were just using it to stalk our classmates and no one ever thought we’d ever have to worry about stuff like our future employers being on there and how it would affect their opinion on us. Facebook has been a part of my entire adult experience, and it’s pretty trippy to think that a dude just a year or two ahead of me in school, at a University practically up the street, invented this whole thing. Like, in order to get laid. It’s pretty remarkable.

If you’re still not sold on seeing The Social Network and the standard trailer isn’t going to do it for you, check out this kooky animated trailer from Taiwan above.

So Joey Fatone just saw the Britney episode of Glee and now he’s running around telling any media outlet that will listen that he’s ready to see the kids try their hand at his old boy band’s music.

Joey told People:

“I saw the Britney Spears one and I thought it was kind of cool. I said, ‘You know what? They should do an ‘NSYNC one.’ So I mentioned it on Twitter, and everyone is retweeting it and saying, ‘That would be great!’ I love acting and I like to sing. It’d be perfect! Seriously, it’s a great show. I’m a fan.”

First of all, Joey… “Everyone” isn’t Tweeting that at you. The people who follow you and @ reply you may be saying that, but certainly there was no #JoeyFatone4Glee trending topics on Tuesday night. Secondly, the Britney episode may have sparked some early ’00s memories for those Tweeters, but no. *NSYNC does not need their own episode of Glee because pretty much everyone they dedicate an episode to on the show is legendary and while *NSYNC may have been pretty big back the day, the music hardly falls under the category “new classics.”

And finally… Yes, Joey. We know you love to dance and sing. You’ve been haunting us with your ability to do so for over a decade.

The above Tweet was posted by 50 Cent to his prolific Twitter account the other night and now the rapper is making statements about how the remark was in no way intended to be anti-gay.

Here’s his apology, as he posted it on his Twitter page:

It pains me to admit that I even understand his ignorant-ass point, but I can totally see how a person who’s used to speaking like this would not understand that his remarks would be perceived as homophobic. It’s also clear that 50 doesn’t realize that his constant talk about getting blow jobs comes off as generally ignorant and so it seems safe to assume that he’s probably a gay-bashing, head-receiving moron. And he probably doesn’t realize that we can’t forget that the ever-homophobic Eminem was the man to discover 50 and put his name on the map.

The problem here is partially 50 Cent, sure. But also, like… What do we expect from this dude? Mental clarity? Fairness? Reason? We made this dude a star when he was talking like this to a beat, so why are we acting so offended now?

If you think you’re going to get that out of a dude who thinks “LOL” is a magic eraser and who regularly Tweets about his penis being in someone’s mouth, yeah… like, maybe you should kill yourself.
