Esquire editor admits that their female covergirls are “ornamental” and are there to be “objectified”

This may or may not come as a surprise to you, but apparently Esquire’s covergirls are there to be objectified and help boost sales. I know, you’re shocked.

Esquire Editor Alex Blimes is fully disclosing the magazine’s intentions with their covers, which usually feature barely-dressed women. He admits the use of “ornamental” women, “in the same way we provide pictures of cool cars.” Mmmhmm….

“The women we feature in the magazine are ornamental,” he said, speaking on a panel at the Advertising Week Europe conference in London on Tuesday. “I could lie to you if you want and say we are interested in their brains as well. We are not. They are objectified.”

Bilmes, speaking on a panel hosted by Cosmopolitan editor Louise Court about feminism in the media and advertising, added that men “see women in 3D” in many different roles in life “but at certain times we like to see them sexy”.

“[Esquire] provide pictures of girls in the same way we provide pictures of cool cars,” he said. “It is ornamental. Women’s magazines do the same thing.”

He said that in his view Esquire was “more honest” than many titles, citing the “anti-feminist” example of a newspaper using a picture of model Naomi Campbell next to a financial story “because she shopped at Marks & Spencer once.”

He argued that Esquire was, in fact, “less rigid” in its portrayal of women than women’s magazines. “We are more ethnically diverse, more shape diverse,” he said. “In fashion magazines women are much thinner. We have older women, not really old, in their 40s.”

He went on to cite the example of actress Cameron Diaz, who is in her 40s, as an “older” women used on the cover of a recent issue of Esquire. “Most women’s magazines don’t put them [older women] in their magazines.”

He said the women’s magazine industry and advertising targeting women were primarily responsible for perpetuating stereotyped and negative images of women.

I like how Cameron Diaz is considered “older.” Ugh, PLEASE. Anyway, I think the guy comes off like a pig, honestly, he should have just kept the comments to himself.

Here’s my thing. Cameron DaizMila KunisMegan Fox…. they weren’t drug there kicking and screaming. These girls certainly don’t look like they were forced into taking their clothes off. If this guy is objectifying women, the women certainly don’t mind. I don’t know…. victimless crime?

Megan Fox Reluctantly Joins Twitter

Megan Fox is finally up on the times, in terms of social media!

The This Is 40 star finally decided to join the social networking site, but she’s a little hesitant about using it.

“Against my better judgment, I have finally joined Twitter,” the actress, 26, announced on her Facebook page Thursday, Jan. 3. “Every possible version of my name is already in use so for now my Twitter handle is https://twitter.com/MeganFox516. See you there.”

Against her better judgement? Then why’d you join, girl?

Anyhow, soon after she posted that, she got her coveted and simple twitter handle, MeganFox, so that’s one less thing to voluntarily complain about.  Fox’s first tweet was… “‘m incredibly late to the party but I’m here nonetheless, so what now?”

Charming! Of course, the star had 50,000 followers by her second tweet, an obvious ode to motherhood.  It read, “Hello twitter. How is everyones day going? 7:30 a.m. and we’ve watched ‘A Bugs Life’ twice . . . so mine has been action packed as per usual.”

I don’t understand- why did Fox join twitter again? Any ideas, people?

Megan Fox: “My Body Is Still Too Fragile To Work Out”

I hate you, MEGAN FOX!

Fox has lost 13 of the 23 pounds she gained while pregnant with her first son, Noah, seemingly in an instant.  Apparently, it’s not because she’s been logging extra hours in the gym…

“I can’t work out yet because my body is still too fragile,” the 26-year-old actress told Us Weekly at the Dec. 12 Palladium Jewelry-sponsored premiere of This Is 40 in Hollywood. “I try to eat whatever I want, but I don’t eat any dairy, and I guess that’s the biggest diet tip. Try and stay away from dairy — especially if you’re a woman! It’s really hard on your hormones.”

So dairy’s the secret, Miss Perfect? Are you sure? So if I stop eating dairy I’ll look like you? Promise?

As for her future plans, Fox really wants a big family. Though she’s only been a biological mom for a couple months, she’s been in the role of stepmom to husband Brian Austin Green‘s son Kassius, who is 10.  Fox is really eager to expand her brood. “I want a big family,” she revealed. “I definitely want to have a couple more kids.”

Sounds good to me…especially if you can always lose the baby weight so fast!

Megan Fox’s Kid Looks Like Brian Austin Green!

It’s been almost three months since Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green’s son Noah was born on Sept. 27, but the couple still hasn’t released any photos of their little bundle of joy.

Never fear, baby lovers.  According to Fox, the tot is basically a miniature version of her husband.  “He looks, I would say, 70 percent like Brian,” the new mom tells Ellen DeGeneres in an interview that aired Wednesday. “He was his identical twin when he came out [but] recently he’s been getting chubbier and everyone’s like, ‘Oh, he’s so chubby — now he looks like you.’”

Yeah, right, Miss uber-skinny MEGAN FOX!

The actress is already stepmom to Green’s son Kassius, 10, from his relationship with actress Vanessa Marcil.  Fox also talks to Ellen about how actress Reese Witherspoon helped her with her birth!

“She went into labor the day before I did, and all of the paparazzi followed her to Santa Monica. So when I went into labor, I went to Cedars [Sinai Medical Center in L.A.], and nobody cared or knew I was there,” Fox explains. “So I got in and out. I left the next day and nobody knew. It was a big secret for three weeks.”

Thanks, Reese!

Is Megan Fox already five months pregnant?

It’s the rumor that won’t die. Megan Fox is pregnant. Starting back in March there were sources that “confirmed” Megan was pregnant. She hasn’t appeared in public much since then (these pictures are one of the few pictures taken since March).

There are now some new photos which kinda sorta show a pregnant Megan. Also – Radar has now jumped on the bandwagon, saying she’s pregnant – with a girl!

Megan Fox’s dream is coming true! The pregnant actress and husband Brian Austin Green are expecting a girl, Star magazine is exclusively reporting.

“She’s been helping to raise Brian’s 10-year-old son, Kassius [by ex-girlfriend, actress Vanessa Marcil], for years, and now she’ll have the experience of being mommy to a little girl,” a source tells Star. “Obviously, Megan and Brian would be happy with a healthy baby of either gender, but they’re beyond thrilled that Kassius is going to have a little sister.”

Star was first to report the news that the Transformers beauty,26,was expecting her first child with her husband of nearly two years.

“She’ll be due at the very end of September or the first week in October,” the source adds. “Megan is attached to a movie called Swindle, but it’s in rewrites and probably won’t even begin filming until next year. So right now her plate is totally clean, and she can devote herself to her baby.”

Time for her to come out and admit it!
