In an interview for the latest issue of Health magazine, Christina Hendricks extols the virtues of packing on the pounds to feel “like a woman” which is making it hard for me to defend her until the new season of Mad Men gives me a scotch-filled boner and I forget everything I’m about to say Read More …

I read a while back that Johnny Weir was going to try to become a fashion designer, in addition to his other careers as “ice skater” and “international fabulous bitch”. I didn’t realize that Weir’s plans for a clothing line had gotten this far though – he confirms to New York Magazine that he’s already meeting with people about financing the line and maybe branding some existing lines. But, this time in between the Olympics and now hasn’t been wasted, because Johnny says “It seems like it’s been a long time since the Olympics, but it really hasn’t and I haven’t stopped doing appearances and performing. And I’m writing my single and trying to write my book. And I found a little bit of cellulite yesterday so I’ve been in the gym every day.” He also talks about his love of fur, his love of Chanel, all of the women’s shoes he buys for himself, and how much he hates Tom Cruise’s lifts (note: he doesn’t actually mention Cruise).

Figure skater Johnny Weir let Bluefly video cameras into his closet so that the nation might ogle his vast clothing collection, which contains much more than controversial fur-accented unitards. Weir has a two-bedroom apartment in New Jersey, one bedroom of which he uses just for clothes — in addition to his two walk-in closets. “I live in New Jersey, and that affords me a lot more closet space than the average New Yorker gets,” Weir explained. “And believe me, I need it!” We spoke to him more about his Chanel jacket obsession, fur pillows, Louboutins as art pieces, and his upcoming clothing line.

What is your advice on closet cleaning?
I don’t get rid of anything — I’m such a pack rat. There could be something that I got ten years ago that I wouldn’t get rid of. I have a vintage Chanel jacket that I don’t actually fit into — a very classic Chanel tweed jacket. I just have it as a sort of art installment. And someday I’m going to have a kid, so whether it’s a boy or girl they’re going to inherit a really great wardrobe.

Do you wear women’s clothing?
I’m lucky because I’m really small so I can wear men’s clothes and women’s clothes.

Do you wear women’s shoes, too?
Usually I try not to buy women’s shoes — I have no heels in my collection. I want to buy a pair of Louboutin patent-leather heels just to fit in the apartment as an art installation. I have a pair of Chanel women’s boat shoes and a pair of women’s sneakers from Gucci. And I have a small foot.

How do you feel about man heels?
I don’t like the idea of that look — I think it’s not quite right. But there are those situations where you’re performing or doing a shoot where, you know, there’s nothing wrong with a little heel. I think more men should walk in heels and run in heels and see what women have to deal with every day.

How often do you shop?
It depends on the paychecks. It depends if I’m having a good month or a bad month, but if it’s a good month I’ll go and treat myself once or twice a week. I recently got a deal to write a book and I had to treat myself and I went and bought myself a Chanel jacket — a new one, a modern one from one of the recent collections.

What are your tips for closet organization?
I know exactly everything that I have. Whether it’s a tank top or fur coat, I’ll be able to pinpoint exactly where it goes in the house. I have special bins for things I don’t actually wear because I don’t actually need them. And I keep everything color coded, so I have a very strict system of closeting.

You encountered a spot of trouble earlier this year for wearing a bit of fur on one of your skating outfits. Do you own a lot of fur?
I do have a lot of fur. I’m a big fan of fur. I’m not a fan of nutria or fake fur and I’ve taken a lot of flack for that, but it’s just a choice that I make. I travel a lot to Russia and it’s usually in winter when I’m in Russia, so you can’t walk around in a plastic coat and plastic boots when it’s minus 40 degrees. I’m from the country, I’ve gone hunting, so I know what happens. I know everything there is to know about the fur industry and I choose to wear fur.

How do you store your furs?
I have one closet that’s special and air conditioned just for fur, but it’s all fur coats and scarves and blankets and pillows and things like that.

You have real fur pillows?
I like to have a furry bed. I like to get cozy even in the summertime. The air conditioning gets cold and I like to snuggle.

How’s the clothing line coming along?
We’re meeting with several different producers and people that are willing to help and want to help and are very passionate about me sort of putting my name on some fashions. I’ve been so busy, and it seems like it’s been a long time since the Olympics, but it really hasn’t and I haven’t stopped doing appearances and performing. And I’m writing my single and trying to write my book. And I found a little bit of cellulite yesterday so I’ve been in the gym every day.

What kind of price point are you aiming for?
I want Chanel quality, of course — a different price point, but of course Chanel quality. If I’m going to put my name on it, it’s gotta be good enough for Uncle Karl. Price point? I’m thinking along the lines of All Saints or Topshop — I wouldn’t go crazy and put my name on a heel for $700. I’m not a tried-and-true designer just yet. Maybe when I’m 50 or 70 I can put my name on a shoe for $700.

Oh my God, he refers to Karl Lagerfeld as “Uncle Karl”. The Anger Bear will not approve! Or maybe they’re friends…? I also love when he’s talking about man-heels. “There’s nothing wrong with a little heel” – how much would you love to see Johnny Weir and Tom Cruise interact with each other? That should be a movie. I also love this line: “I want to buy a pair of Louboutin patent-leather heels just to fit in the apartment as an art installation.” Not to wear, mind you, although this bitch probably would “wear them around the house.” He just wants to put them on a pedestal, with good lighting.

Y’all know I love me some Dolly Parton. She’s a f-cking goddess, and nothing makes me tear up faster than “Coat of Many Colors”. Anything she says I will take as the gospel, as if God is whispering His divine messages of hope in Dolly’s ear. So you know what that means – I have to stop making fun of Miley Cyrus. That’s what Dolly told me to do! She was on The Late Show last night, and Letterman started asking her about Miley Cyrus. It turns out, Dolly has known the Cyruses for forever, and Dolly refers to herself as Miley’s “fairy godmother”. And what does Dolly think about Miley wandering around in lingerie and trying to be provocative and sexy? Dolly says: “I’m there for her if she needs me, and I get upset lately, they’ve been hammering her to death, and she’s been trying hard to make the transition from Hannah Montana — she’s 17, and at that age … I know how I was at 17, so let’s leave Miley alone!” F-ck. I have to do what Dolly says. The video is here.

Country music legend Dolly Parton — appearing on The Late Show with David Letterman Tuesday night – said it’s time to leave Miley Cyrus alone, as the Hannah Montana star continues to take jabs in the media for her sexed-up image while promoting her new album, Can’t Be Tamed.

Parton, who said she’s Miley’s unofficial “fairy Godmother” told Letterman: “I’m there for her if she needs me, and I get upset lately, they’ve been hammering her to death, and she’s been trying hard to make the transition from Hannah Montana — she’s 17, and at that age … I know how I was at 17, so let’s leave Miley alone!”

Letterman said in response, “I think she’ll be alright because she’s very smart … I didn’t realize how smart that kid is.”

Cyrus appeared on Letterman earlier this month and addressed the controversy, saying, “I’m still a kid and I still do kid things. Anyone who says, ‘She’s growing too quickly,’ doesn’t know me personally.”

Apparently Miley came to Dollywood to film a special for the 25th anniversary of the theme park, and they did a duet of Dolly’s hit “Jolene”. I found this video from E! News, and can I just say? Miley doesn’t sound horrible when she’s covering one of Dolly’s beautiful songs. Too bad she wants to be a trashy pop artist rather than a bluesy country singer.

Is it just me, or does Julia Roberts look like hell? This is Julia at the Eat, Pray, Love photo call today, with Javier Bardem and Richard Jenkins and executive producer and director Ryan Murphy (he’s also the creator of Glee). Javier looks delicious, as always, and Julia seems to notice, doesn’t she? I think Julia put on her special “come hither, Javi” old-lady shorts and vaguely transparent old-lady blouse… with no bra? I can’t tell, and now I’ve been staring at Julia’s boobs for way too long. I don’t think she’s got her girls harnessed. I think she’s all “Javi, do you like?” And Javi is all “Um, have you seen my girlfriend Penelope Cruz? Shut it down, Jules.”

But it’s always about JULIA!!! Eh. When is this movie due out? Whew… not until August 13. They’re getting promotion started early, aren’t they? Maybe JULIA! is worried that it will flop? The latest and last trailer for the film, and Jesus Christ, they brought the full-on JULIA! whine for a full f-cking minute while the character hypocritically complains about being obsessed with men and relationships, and so she devises a journey of self-discovery, only to spend the whole time bitching and moaning about men and relationships! UGH. I hope this movie crashes and burns.

And now I officially know what Jews feel like during Hanukkah. On that note, if Kelly Brook isn’t in a bikini for four more days, someone should try her for war crimes. Big breasts don’t protect you from the eyes of justice.
Ha! Just kidding. You can hide in my attic.

It’s been a while since we’ve had something interesting about my favorite redhead, Christina Hendricks. Christina is the cover girl for the July/August issue of Health Magazine, probably to promote the new season of Mad Men (in less than a month!!!). In the interview, Christina talks about how gorgeous she is and how happy she is that she’s a lovely, curvy woman. But instead of sounding like Jessica “My beauty hinders my career” Biel, Christina sounds like a sweetheart:

Mad Men star Christina Hendricks says she’s always been proud of her curvier figure.

“Back when I was modeling, the first time I went to Italy I was having cappuccinos every day, and I gained 15 pounds. And I felt gorgeous!” Hendricks, 35, tells the July/August issue of Health. “I would take my clothes off in front of the mirror and be like, Oh, I look like a woman. And I felt beautiful, and I never tried to lose it, ’cause I loved it!”

In February, the actress came under fire when the New York Times posted an article that slammed the star for flaunting her assets at the Golden Globe Awards. “You don’t put a big girl in a big dress,” the critic wrote.

“I made the grave mistake after one awards show of reading comments online about what I wore, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, people are so mean!’” Hendricks reveals. “I still remember all those negative comments, despite all the wonderful positivity. That’s why we’re all in therapy!”

Because of the criticism, the newlywed admits she’s surprised to learn she’s often cited as one of the most desirable bodies in Hollywood.

“Really? They don’t say Jessica Alba? ‘Cause that’s what I say!” she laughs. “It’s such a compliment, because of all those times I had agents who were like, “You have to lose some weight,” and all of a sudden, people are celebrating it.”

But the buxom redhead — who admits she could “sit down with a bag of chips and French onion dip and go to town” — also makes an effort to stay healthy by varying her gym routine.

“I get kind of bored on the treadmill, but I do it. And I do a little bit of weight training,” she says. “I’m really into the BOSU ball. You have to balance on it, and I do weights and squats on it. I’m pretty good at it — I feel sort of like a Karate Kid!”

I’m totally with her on the salty foods. Potato chips are the reason any attempt I make to diet is dead on arrival. Both my parents loved sweet stuff, and I don’t have a taste for cakes and pastries whatsoever. I can pass by a donut place and never feel a twinge, unlike the rest of my family. But put me near a McDonalds, and I have to go get some fries.

In another part of the interview, Christina credits her healthy body image on her mom: “I guess my mom raised me right. She was very celebratory of her body. I never heard her once say, ‘I feel fat.’” Mama Hendricks needs to come give me a pep talk. She also talks about playing Joan Holloway, the coolest girl on Mad Men: “When I first started to play her, I would think, Oh my God, I would never want to hang out with this person. She would crush me like a bug! And then, I started to love her. I think Joan and I have a “no excuses” kind of mentality—I’m going to stand by my decisions, no regrets, no apologies. But she is far more confident than I am. She’s far more confident than most women are in the world!” I really want Joanie and Roger to get back together this season.
