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.
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.
Thank Heavens This Show Didn’t ‘Stay’
Today is the four-year-and-fifteen-day anniversary of the debut of the worst food TV show of all time. Let’s all celebrate Dweezil & Lisa — or at least relish in the fact that it’s no longer airing. Here’s a sample episode highlight:
Lisa and Dweezil visit with maestro guitar maker Bob Taylor who also can create his famous shovel burgers.
No kidding? Bob knows how to make his own famous burger recipe? Who knew? (Well, besides Bob).
The Food Network seems to have rightly purged all links to the show from its website, but a Google site search does the trick. The Today Show let Dwee-sa near a hot stove here.
