GUESS WHO'S IN THE DRESS
Oh so catty but we can't resist ... the zaftig vixen pictured here looks so uncharacteristically chub-chub in this tight pink number that we almost didn't recognize her. When we came across this photo, it was like running into that thin person from high school and trying to come to grips with their new poundage. Are we being mean spirited? Naw, we're just relieved that there are others out there who tip the scales every now and then. The first reader to write in and correctly identify this blonde bombshell will receive a body slimming wrap from TRUE Body Wraps in San Francisco. (And P.S. it's not our pal Gwynnie doing promos for Shallow Hal.) Tune in next week to read what are sure to be hilarious guesses. Email your guess to: feedback@splendora.com

CATTINESS CONTINUED: PART DEUX
And just to prove that we can be indiscriminately catty, here's a priceless picture of the skeletal Hilton sisters in all their mist-on tan and blonde glory at the Joey T fashion show. America loves to hate these skinny rich ragers who are so ubiquitous on the party scene, they would show up to the opening of a can. We can't tell if Nikki is struggling to pull up (or down) her bandage bandeau but from the way this photo was taken it looks like the heiresses are snickering behind the back of Aimee "I-don't-want-to-be-on-MTV" Osbourne who, like the Hiltons, has no qualms letting it all hang out.
