American Idol Rump Wars: Blame it on Widescreen
The gorgeous American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez was recently named as the Most Beautiful Woman in the World by People magazine. Well, she does glow. Not many can say that.
In the accompanying interview, J-Lo had this to say, which I found particularly interesting, "looking good is all just part of the job. I don't want anybody thinking it's easy. It does take time and it's hard work. HDTV wide-screen is nobody's friend!"
Watching AI on Sunday night and following the Twitter stream commentary about the surprising size of Kelly Clarkson's beam got me to thinking. Is this what Jennifer means? Because, frankly I had wondered why Jennifer didn't dress in a more flattering manner in the lower half (that gold Gucci not really doing anyone any favours). And it wasn't just Kelly's booty that looked large — youthful Rihanna wasn't faring much better. And then I saw these photos taken from a live perspective and I realised that they looked nothing like they did on TV — general svelteness all round in these photos. I would kill for a bod like these here. So we really can blame it on the widescreen and in future, cut the gals a bit of slack in the rump department. Deal?
