Ooo!!

Daily Mail has an article on Duran's new video shoot in LA, with several pictures of Simon with scantily clad models (because we never see those)--but he's dressed as a doctor, and wearing glasses in most of them.

*dies*

They refer to Simon and Nick as "portly," which I kind of take offense to, as, despite their attempts to choose pictures to prove otherwise, the first picture shows pretty well that Simon's nowhere near "portly." He's wearing all white, and he's got a dress shirt, suit jacket and doctor's coat over it, with his huge shoulders. Um...nice try, Daily Mail.

Paging Dr. Le Bon. I think I need CPR, stat....

ETA: And then the same "reporter," Donna McConnell, writes an article on the same day about Nigella Lawson nearly falling out of her gown, and says this: "Nigella, 47, has become the poster-girl for the Rubenesque figure which was idealised for centuries until the fashion world decreed an absence of curves was more desirable. Thankfully Nigella has ignored the current wisdom and held fast to her voluptuous shape which has won her many fans, male and female alike."

So it's good for a 47-year-old woman to be "voluptuous" but a 48-year-old man you're stretching to call "portly" is showing his age? Methinks Donna is a wee bit portly and a large bit defensive about it.
