First of all, why is Brandi Glanville allowed at the Oscars? Second of all, WHAT IS SHE WEARING!? Sometimes showing too much skin can bite ya, and that's certainly the case here. Go home, honey.

How many crunches would I have to do to get a waist like Maria's?

by JBak 2/24/2013 10:18:07 PM
I think we would have to both be crunching from sun-up to sun-down. Our donato's here yet??? HA
