Nigella Lawson’s Critics in Race to the Bottom

Posted by Baylen on Mar. 19, 2008

nigella-1.jpgThe NY Post gossip pages are reporting that producers for sexy Food Network commando Nigella Lawson will no longer show her on camera below the waist because she “has waaaay overeaten”.

“The result is a butt like a Budweiser horse,” sniped one detractor.

That would be a clydesdale, you devilish detractor.

All of this might be newsworthy — in that alternate universe where stories about the bum size of a woman approaching 50 is news — if it were not for the fact that London’s Daily Mail served up pretty much the same story (including the photo at right) in late 2007. It featured this quip:

TV critics claim her new series incorporates “scenes of gluttony not seen since the golden age of the Cookie Monster”.

Well bra-effin-vo! It’s a hell of a lot better than scenes of boredom not seen since the mythical age of Veggie Monster, let me tell you.

Repel the Nigella-hating by showing a little love to Nigella Feasts and Nigella Express.

    A catastrofic recipe,not a professional cook ,24 hours for a piece of pig for 4 person is crazy and antieconomic.
    She has no idea what it is COLESTEROL, you'll be dead after a week cooking her food.

    She is not obese, she`s nice and round and one of the sexiest women on tv. So please don't censure her waist down and show her the way she is.

    ... besides, when Nigella is thinner, her face looks too boney... Those blushing "I know what you're looking at" glances from the refrigerator won't come off as well - probably because she'll be yet another boring every-day TV figure... We watch Nigella for the way she is now. She's popular because of the way she is now...

    Nigella has the best body on TV - period. Sometimes obesity adds beauty when it's done right and certainly Nigella has that recipe. These "TV Producers" quoted or reportedly quoted need to clue in to what society really wants/needs... We certainly don't want skinny cooks. What's the old saying? "Never trust a skinny cook!"

    Think of all the plain skinnys and plain fatties. Nigella's luscious. Good on her, flaunting her bottom and tum. Certainly obesity is a health hazard, but objecting in terms of visual appeal is not on. WE like her.
