Seriously- can we just stop asking beauty queens questions that involve answers more involved than "children, puppies and rainbows for all!"?

I'm sure that off camera, those women probably aren't as stereo-typically idiotic as they come across- but they aren't politicians. They haven't trained to field questions about pay gaps and foreign policy and equal rights. Being on stage is hard, talking about a subject on the fly is harder (also not a politician- but I DID do debate all through high school, and went to Nationals junior year) and expecting an answer that is anything more than "The Iraq and maps" seems to be asking a lot.

I don't particularly like the whole idea of beauty pageants- but you have to admit that those ladies are amazingly graceful and poised. They all have some sort of talent, and they are often asked questions that are vaguely controversial, which they then have to figure out a way to not offend anybody with an answer in thirty seconds or less. It's easy to make fun of the "Dumb, Ditsy Beauty Queen" but I think that's needlessly mean.

  They don't have to be politicians to stay on top of current events and form a coherent opinion. Yes, speaking on stage is hard, but it's what they signed up for.

  Would the world implode if in the next beauty pageant they asked that question?

Ugh, when I initially saw that Kate Moss was doing Playboy, part of me was like, "Out of all the beautiful women in the world, they pick her??" And then the less awful part remembered that Playboy is a misogynistic celebration of one very specific, often unobtainable, body type and the idea that women are here for male entertainment, and being on the cover is hardly something to aspire to. I hate myself for thinking about it that much but there you have it.

  Yeah, in some ways, I think it's good because now at least there's SOME body variety in playboy (i.e. Kate Moss doesn't have huge fake tits), but it's still celebrating very thin white women.
  
  I'm also wondering...and PLEASE answer this if you know...how is that half-naked picture taken when she was 16 NOT considered child pornography?

  I'm at work so I didn't look at it. But I do agree - still thin white women. And her body is even less attainable (and less desirable, for me at least) without cocaine and/or anorexia, depending on who you ask.

GIF

Kate Upton and Leslie Mann together? Gotta go check this out. (Don't really care about Cameron Diaz)

In other news: It's time for one of my themed gif days! Normally, I would pick a person from the dirtbag to base my theme around, but at a request, today's themed person is Cillian Murphy! Same rules apply. I will attempt to post on as many stories as I can today here at Jezebel. In each of those posts I will use a Cillian Murphy gif that either fits with the story or the comment I am making. If I can't find a gif that works, I will not post. No repeats either.

Happy Monday everyone.

When I am president, Jerry O'Connell will be required to wear a tiny orange bathing suit every day. (I know, I know, "President Empress" is a confusing title, but we'll all get through it together.)

- Bey and Jay were at a restaurant and beneficently wished an expecting couple "good luck," thus giving the unborn child the power of flight. [Page Six]
Bahaha.

Yep, that's all I have to add.

I love that people are puzzled by Ava Gardner marrying Mickey Rooney. He was a ridiculously popular movie star in the 30's and she wanted an acting career. It's not like she was marrying another struggling actor. I have a ridiculous love of old-school Mickey Rooney, whether its serious like in Boys Town, a musical with Judy Garland or the ridiculously fluffy Andy Hardy movies. (Yes, I know they are ridiculously outdated and the blackface musical numbers he and Judy did make me squeamish but their were two great musical performers who were best friends making movies together.)
