Maybe "chubby" would be a better word. The shape of her face definitely changed before she made her public debut. That might even be why she waited so long to post real pics/videos.

Is it just me, or did the page views on these stories drop by like 90% as soon as everyone found out she was fat?
Yeah, looks that way. Oops. Good call.
None. Anyone who still doesn't get it won't be convinced by this.
She's a halfway decent writer. That, combined with her looks, could have been enough to land her that column. It sounds more like she stumbled into way more attention than she bargained for, and all that sunlight exposed some ugly blemishes. I don't think you need a conspiracy theory to explain any of it, though.
I'm not saying it's conscious bias (if such a thing even exists), but it's well documented that people tend to see pretty girls in a flattering light. The most obvious explanation (that men tend to be nice to women they want to sleep with) comes from evolutionary biology. Hell, I don't like to believe that attractive,…
It should've been obvious after the first multi-paragraph, overzealously apologetic IM that the guy was completely full of shit.
I'm amazed at how many commenters are practically tripping over each other to line up in her defense. Perfect demonstration of the halo effect: [en.wikipedia.org]
No, I still don't think it does.
These articles need some kind of flag labeling them as cross-posted on other Gawker Media sites. It's always a little jarring to read angry bleeding-heart walls of text when one is expecting deliberately bad puns and obscure pop culture references.
There isn't a clock operator in the NFL who doesn't cheat in crucial situations. The league needs to bring its own people in, and stop assuming the locals they hire will be non-biased.
This has been common knowledge in the Boston area for years now. Some of us Boston fans occasionally have interesting things to say; you 99 percent are missing out.
That's really unfair. Let's just gloss over the "cheating" crap, because if you've been harping on that for this long, nothing I can say will convince you that virtually everyone did it (Jimmy Johnson, Bill Cowher, etc.), or that the walkthrough taping never happened (it didn't; it was fabricated by some loser who the…
Instinctively, it looked like a catch to me at first. Then, it looked unbelievably ambiguous. But having viewed YouTube replays a bunch of times and read rule citations, it's pretty clear it wasn't a catch. The wording of the rule is that both feet must be completely on the ground. Watch the replay—the toes of his…
Did this article get cross-posted to Jezebel or something?
As a lifelong Patriots fan and shameless Belichick apologist, I would respectfully disagree that BB and Brady would be so irked by Tebow's success. The Patriots believe in superior coaching and talent, sure (although I don't know which secondary you've been watching all year), but Bill Belichick's favorite phrase is…
Double post. Hope that image doesn't load twice. Sorry 'bout that.
