Kevin Smith Attacked In Global War On Fat: Too Wide For The Sky
THE director of such cult classic films at “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back,” and “Chasing Amy” didn’t exactly get A-list treatment by Southwest Airlines last night on a flight between Oakland and Burbank, writes Anorak’s Man in LA. Kevin Smith is “Too Wide For The Sky“.
Kevin Smith was actually thrown off his flight because he physical size was deemed by the pilot to be a security risk.
Smith took to Twitter to vent about the situation, owning up to the fact that he’s overweight, but pointing out that he still fits within the seat’s arm rests and doesn’t require a seatbelt extender.
Dear @SouthwestAir – I know I’m fat, but was Captain Leysath really justified in throwing me off a flight for which I was already seated?
Southwest has since Twittered and telephoned an apology to Smith, along
with a $100 gift certificate toward future Southwest fares.

WhatsOnStage Theatregoers’ Choice Awards 2010 In Pictures
MEL Giedroyc, Christopher Biggins and Patrick Stewart were at the WhatsOnStage Theatregoers’ Choice Awards 2010 at London’s Prince of Wales Theatre. What is it about theatre that make you think of an ordeal? The cost? You no longer need to dress up to go. Is it the theatre critics, a breed suggestive of woggles, eating crustless buns in small-minded tea shops and their limp sound-bites on the billboard? So long as it on the stage and live it is worthy, they trill. It’s not. It’s raw and naked to stand before rows of seated faces all sat in wet coats asking to be entertained. Want to know why telly is so crap? Because it’s easy…

The Media Sets Out To Destroy Mezhgan Hussainy
SIMON Cowell has a new lover, the lovely Mezhgan Hussainy. And the Mail does what it does and uses the voice of English spite to snipe:
The man who Simon Cowell’s new love left behind
It’s Ahmed Shah Zahiri:
With his thinning hair and faded blue oversized polo shirt, he looks for all the world like a man who has succumbed to the comforts of middle-age and is not, perhaps, the catch he once was.
Yeah, perhaps.
He is Ahmed Shah Zahiri, who has made a decent enough living supplying Oriental rugs to the whitewashed stucco villas of Santa Barbara in California.
Still not sure if you want to shag him? The looks are fading, you say, but the money seems pretty good. And California is where he works? Anything more?
At first glance, the possibility of any link between the dishevelled Ahmed and the star-studded world of television celebrity might seem remote – but there is a fascinating connection. For this man’s ex-wife is the new girlfriend of millionaire X Factor mogul Simon Cowell.
Ok. We’ll take him. We’ve a business deal for Mr Cowell – Spite Idol, where hacks queue up to be the most spiteful and score a job at the Mail. What else do we know about her?
While the intervening years seem to have taken their toll on Ahmed, it is clear that Mezhgan has undergone an utterly astonishing transformation from traditional Muslim wife to astute businesswoman with access to some of Hollywood’s most powerful people.

Peter Andre Sells The Smell Of Yesterday, Pictures
PETER Andre launches his new fragrance ‘Unconditional‘ at Selfridges on Oxford Street, London. Anorak has never got close enough to Peter Andre to inhale him, and if pinned down and invited to form an opinion on pain having our eyes vanished with a permanent image of Princess Tenaladymeee’s face we’d say he smelt of a moist floral tissue newly retrieved from the blouse sleeve of a woman in her late 60s who owns three cats, a Henry hoover and a soap on a rope fashioned to resemble a ‘Jimmy Savile Fixed It For Me’ medallion. He’s Peter pushing the smell of sentimentalism, the smell we call Yesterday:

Queen Meets Status Quo And Lives Dream Of A Royal Who Can Be Respected
ODDLY, neither Her Majesty The Queen, her husband, their children nor indeed any of their children have recorded a pop song. No royal will be the subject of rock biopic, heralded by lighters nor live in a massive stately home and be respected in the way royals used to. Bono or Prince Charles? Princess Anne or Bob Geldof? Her Majesty might not live her dream and salute a popstar in the family, forced to make do with relatives who are good at riding horses. So she meets the popstars still alive at investiture ceremonies. This week she met Rick Parfitt and Francis Rossi, founding members of British rock band Status Quo, ostensibly to give them OBEs. They rocked all over the world. She waved. the other Royals simply flew…

Peter Andre And Katie Price In Televised Contest To Be The More Private: Video
THE competition is on to see which of Peter Andre and Katie Price can be the more private. It’s a bit like deciding which is the more posh, Victoria Beckham or Rebecca Loos.
Me And My Chest: Peter Andre’s Career in Pictures
To recap: Katei Price marked New Year’s Eve by dressing her daughter Princess Minimi Tiara in some “paedo” training slap. Photos were taken, one of which ended up on Katie’s sister Sophie’s Price’s Facebook account. Then this photo stuck on an information superhighway dirt track ended up on the cover of the Daily Star. The talk is of paedos and perverts buying the Star to cop a load of Princess Tanmeeeee’s face and not Katie’s Jordans. What are the odds?
Katie then goes on the Daily Star to say she’s a good mum. And sentimental Peter pops up on GMTV to look upset and say over a big colour picture of Princess looking like Wayne Rooney and Liza Minnelli’s progeny on Jackie Mason’s hairy lily-pad:
“If I’m to be honest, I’m absolutely disgusted and to me that’s the worst thing to be worried about. It’s a two-year-old girl and to me that’s disgusting.”

Pictures Of Suri Cruise In The Snow And More Celestial Wonders
SURI Cruise leaves the Bowery Hotel. It snows. Did Suri make it snow? Fanciful, of course. More likely her father made it snow by the power of intergalactic planetary flakes. You need to build up to snow. Start with Scientology, an entry level religion. Then introduce tales of a boat full of creatures, burning bushes, Virgin births, bushes that burn, loadsa virgins in heaven and sex being dirty. Then you get to making it snow…

Glamour Model Coco Orders Us To ‘GO HARD’ For Haiti
DIRGES for Haiti; babies from Haiti; dating Lindsay Lohan for Haiti; and now Ice T’s glamour model wife Coco pastes on a pair of leggings, take photo in a mirror and commands her legion of adolescent fans: “Get this shirt & lets start a Haiti movement! WE GO HARD! WE DON’T PLAY!”
In case you miss the subtleties of the message, the big Haiti push is illustrated by Coco shoving her backside to the lens. Nothing like a smutty pun and a T-shirt to improve the lot of the dispossessed and the hundreds of hacks and film crews shooting the same bit of road by the airport and broadcasting pictures of people too sick to get out of the way…
