Last week Ralph Lauren came under fire for publishing a picture of model Filippa Hamilton looking atrociously gaunt.  It’s a clear example of abuse by Photoshop.

Now Hamilton has revealed that she was fired by Ralph Lauren for being too fat.  The model told New York Daily News that the Ralph Lauren company was like family until this spring when they kicked her fat ass — as shown in second picture above — out the door.  Does anyone see the irony in the fact that this chick is posing in front of a bunch of candy dispensers?  Yeah, she’s so not fat.

Seriously, can we call for a boycott or something against companies that are terminating employees based on 5′10″ being defined as “too heavy”?

“I could remember those two, especially those two people, treating me like the invisible guy.  Now look where they at.  Cheri Oteri, she can’t get arrested.  … That’s what happened to me over there.  They never treated me well.  I never cared for them either.  Fuck ‘em.”

Tracy Morgan’s “I Am The New Black” audiobook account of his days at Saturday Night Live and the treatment he received from Chris Kattan and Cheri Oteri.

It was 1972 and I had been dating my future-ex-husband for most of our junior year of high school and into our senior year. One night, he told me he had a very important question: did I believe in pre-marital sex. I answered “no”. Then he said “In that case, do you want to get married?” Believe it or not, I did. We actually were married for 13 years before I got fed up and bailed.

And another one …

I was supposed to listen for a horse in the house, but of course couldn’t hear anything. After I yelled out, “What horse could be in my house?” Alex came “riding” into the room on a horse (a child’s toy with a horse’s head on the end of a stick), wearing a full suit of armor. I couldn’t help laughing as I thought, “What in the world would make him do something as crazy as this?” He then drew his sword (which even made sound effects), got down on one knee and said, “Sarah, I want to be your knight in shining armor. Will you be my wife?” I was caught so off-guard that I couldn’t respond right away and started to shake my head, apparently to keep from passing out. (Alex later told me that he grew more nervous by the second as he waited patiently for an answer, and at the same time watched all of the color drain from my face.) However, once I came back down to earth and realized what was happening, I nodded “yes” through lots of happy tears.

Is your proposal sweeter or funnier or just plain more interesting than these? Get it in, and get your chance at the prize.

We’re running this contest in honor of the DVD release of the Sandra Bullock flick The Proposal, which hits stores tomorrow!!!

Cameron Diaz behaved like a totally normally person in between shooting scenes on her new movie with Tom Cruise Wichita in Boston, MA today. She flailed about in the streets waving a toy pistol, seemed to be interpretive dancing and even held a mailbox a gunpoint. I’m tellin’ ya, either homegirl is going to get an Oscar or wind up in a psych ward after this movie because the photos coming in from set? They’re all bananas.

Funnyman Will Ferrell and Super Serious Actor Mark Wahlberg are in NYC right now filming The Other Guys, which also features The Rock, Eva Mendes and Samuel L. Jackson. I’m not sure what the chemistry between these two is going to be like, as they both come from completely separate worlds, but it’s a cast full of stars and it was written by Adam McKay, so I have faith that this flick could actually turn out to be pretty good.

Kourtney Kardashian’s rep told People Magazine yesterday that the reality TV star and sister of Kim “Very Serious Business Woman” Kardashian is expecting a baby boy. Oh great! Hopefully I can start sleeping again starting tonight!

Kourtney, who recently watched her, ahem, “other sister” Khloe walk down the aisle in her wedding to LA Laker Lamar Odem, is due around Christmas and she and baby daddy Scott Disick couldn’t be more excited about the news of the sex. A source close to Kourtney told People “Kourt and Scott are psyched about having a baby, but having a boy is really exciting for them. She can’t wait to buy all sort of boy’s clothing. And [her brother] Robert is also eager to have a little nephew.” Ya hear that? She’s psyched. And she can’t wait to go shopping. Because that’s what having a baby is all about. Shopping.
