Nigella Lawson’s Critics in Race to the Bottom
The 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.

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