The image of fabulous “Drag Race” superstar Latrice Royale has appeared on a slice of toast in a Grand Slam Breakfast at a Denny’s in Bakersfield, California.
The Vatican immediately issued a statement confirming Latrice’s divinity, saying, “She’s chunky and funky and holy. She’s Latrice Motherfuckin’ Royale.”
Yeah, a Vatican spokesman said that.

You just never know who’s going to be the Friday Face, and neither do I. Today, it’s Jean Nidetch, nee Slutsky, formerly fat founder of Weight Watchers in 1963, after she’d lost 72 pounds on a similar program. By 1968 it was a worldwide phenomenon and the IPO sold out.
In the late ’70s, it was sold to Heinz for a reported $78 million. Nidetch, born in Brooklyn in 1923, now lives in Florida, following her retirement as a spokesperson in 1984. Weight Watchers continues to help people lose weight around the world, and I do mean AROUND the world.
Jean, daughter of a cab driver and a manicurist, was interviewed a few years ago… listen to her tell the story of how it all happened.
Jean Nidetch, entrepreneur, weight loss magnate and bouffant superstar, is today’s Friday Face.

Miss Burbank of 1948, Debbie Reynolds popped up last night at the Prevention Magazine TV Awards something or other last night at the Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills.
Recent auctions of Debbie’s Hollywood memorabilia collection fetched millions of dollars for the star; Marilyn Monroe’s “Subway Dress” alone went for $4.6 million.
Debbie lives next door to her recently trimmed daughter, Carrie Fisher, seen below at the Creative Arts Emmys on September 10th.
Don’t they look great?
Debbie’s voice is currently heard on the Tropicana Orange Juice commercials.

A demure and delicious Gabourey Sidibe, as seen at a “Scream 4″ screening in NYC last night.
Gabby’s Eisenhower-cut leather jacket seems unable to marshal her allied forces.
I like this look for Gabby… it has that casual “let’s grab a bite” look… and coupled with a stunning coppery blush and a blue eye shadow that would make Miss Veronyka swoon, she’s frightfully lovely!
