Instant. Eating. Disorder.
Click here to feast (no pun intended) your eyes on a tee being sold by Zazzle.com that features that controversial Kate Moss quote from 2009, "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."
Here's the big scandal: The shirt is for kids. Yes, seriously. It even comes in... wait for it... toddler sizes 2T-4T.
How could anyone think this is OK? I'm positively floored.

Fab Alert!
Now and then, you just need to say it in llama.
Fortunately, art director Avery Oldfield and creative technologist Jack Inscoe created a font made of llamas.
OK, I Want to Cry Now.
News.com.au (Queensland, Australia) - A wombat has been diagnosed with depression - after being denied the cuddles and pats he was used to following Cyclone Yasi.
The wombat, named Tonka, shed 20 percent of his body weight as visitors were stopped from visiting his wildlife park home in the eight weeks after Cyclone Yasi tore through northern Queensland, reported the Townsville Bulletin.
Tonka's carers at the Billabong Sanctuary in Townsville spared no expense in vet checks and lab bills as they tried to work out the cause of his mysterious illness.
Billabong Sanctuary manager Brett Flemming said after "forking out some serious cash" they found the problem - and have since nursed him back to health, in time for the repaired park to reopen.
"Tonka was hand-reared by one of our rangers and normally spends a good part of his day with people," he said. "At Billabong he is the star. Everyone wants to visit Tonka."
"After the cyclone he missed the public - the patting, the photos, the cuddles and the endless posing for the paparazzi."
More Tripe from Bret Easton Ellis
Another tweet:
"No, I wasn't drunk last night. I was watching Chris Colfer singing, um, "Le Jazz Hot" and felt like I had suddenly come down with the hivs."
Dude... let it go. Inappropriate. Offensive. Stop.

It's the Crackhead Charlie Winning Love Doll!
And it reportedly sold out the day it was released by Pipedream Products (NSFW). What a world.
There were still three available on Amazon when I checked a few minutes ago.
According to the description on the box:
"You don’t have to be a slutty porn goddess to party with this radical rockstar from Mars! Just add air and this neurotic nutjob will show you his two and half personalities, warlock, fangs, fire-breathing fists and Adonis DNA. Don’t be a foolish little troll, experience the bitchin’ drug they call Charlie and let him rock your world!”
Let's just hope that it's truly being used for novelty purposes only. Ew.
Bret Easton Ellis is a Jackass!
Author Bret East0n Ellis (Less Than Zero, American Pyscho, Rules of Attraction) is undoubtedly talented... but he's also a total jackass.
Why? Because of this tweet he released last night:
"I like the idea of Glee but why is it that every time I watch an episode I feel like I've stepped into a puddle of HIV?"
Wow. Seriously?!? That's waaaay over-the-top, Bret. Look, I readily admit that I'm not a Glee fan--couldn't make it through one episode--but there's nothing lame enough about the show to warrant that kind of language. For shame, sir!
Another toddler served booze... this time at Olive Garden!
This time, a two-year-old boy received sangria instead of orange juice at a Florida Olive Garden. His mother said that during dinner, her young son grew restless, began climbing on the furniture, and getting louder. "I couldn't discipline him," she said in an interview with FOX Orlando, "because he wasn't acting out, he was drunk."

What in the world is going on at these chains?!? This has to stop. SO wrong. Poor little toddlers.

Now Disco's REALLY Dead
The Smoking Gun -- A California man who used a shotgun to blast the speaker on his son’s stereo will not be facing criminal charges, according to prosecutors. The man told cops that he destroyed the speaker because his 24-year-old son--an aspiring DJ--“was playing his ‘disco’ too loud.”
Stanislaw Jarmolowicz, 53, was arrested last week on suspicion of shooting at or into a building.

Somebody Got a New Spring Frock
Mmmm... Walmart booty.
A man has been booked with video voyeurism after admitting to photographing the backsides of unsuspecting women while they shopped at a Walmart near Covington, Louisiana.
He's baaaack!
Well, look who it is: former Dior designer, John Galliano, at LAX. If you recall, Dior canned Galliano in February for drunken, anti-semitic rants. Look who's on the receiving end now. You can clearly hear someone in the airport call him a "f*cking racist."

Let's hope Galliano's rehab stay was successful.
New Mexico Spares the Rod
Mother Nature Network - New Mexico narrowly banned corporal punishment in its schools, joining 30 other U.S. states that have already outlawed the practice.
"The decision on whether or not to use corporal punishment on a child is one that is best left to a parent," said Gov. Susana Martinez, who signed a bill banning the practice.
The ban passed in the House by a vote of 36 to 31 and in the Senate 22 to 17.
Birthday Betch
Shannen Doherty is 40 today. It's probably safe to assume that she isn't happy about it. She's probably raging mad right this very minute, hurling whatever fragile items she can get her claws on at the walls her Malibu manse. I feel sorry for the housekeeper. She's likely suffering the brunt of it. Poor thing. A moment of silence for her, please. Amen.
