...just one of the numerous examples that exemplify Thornton’s penchant for dry, but funny, deliveries. Next to Thornton, Heder is, well, emasculated. His “Napoleon Dynamite” typecasted schtick of the anti-hero-we’re-supposed-to-root-for is running thin. Surprisingly, he didn’t don a “Vote for Pedro” t-shirt. That said, “Scoundrels” doesn’t do Heder justice for the charisma and actual screen presence he actually possesses. His character is so poorly written...

...pumped. At a press conference Wednesday at the team's Valley Ranch training camp, Owens admitted he was a bit vague about details of what happened Tuesday night at his downtown Dallas loft, but cut off talk about his mental state.

...more useful place to start assigning blame might be the designers. (You thought I was going to blame the magazines?) Designers, let's face it, design for the thin. The skinny pants, low-cut jeans, micro-minis and bubble skirts that are coming our way this fall all look fabulous if you're built like a darning needle, but they're just not going to work on us pincushions. Is there really no middle ground between micro-shorts and muumuus? We can build a camera that makes you look slimmer in photographs, but we can't design a flattering outfit...

...course, the dirty little secret here is that not all models have to be thin. It's one of the cruelest axioms of fashion that once you get big, you can get big. If Tyra Banks shows up for a shoot with a little extra poundage, they just touch her up later. Kate Moss could, if she wished, balloon all the way up to 100 lbs., and she'd still get work. But little Nadya Abouttofallova eats one pork rind, and she's on the first plane back to Uzbekistan. It's hard to feel sympathy for people who make...
