With the ever-increasing fad amongst Hollywood’s young actresses nowadays involving having your pretty face splashed all over the tabloids dressed in jailhouse orange instead of Gucci, I have to ask this question: Where will it stop?

With Paris’ recent release from “jail” and the imminent trials of both Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan bringing almost certain jail terms for each of them, does it not beg to ask how far a Hollywood starlet has to go nowadays to garner attention?

I am at a point of thinking that these celebrities are risking far more than their careers with these dangerous stunts that they pull, putting innocent civilians in harms’ way for a seemingly minute chance that their shenanigans will give them some much needed self promotion for an upcoming movie or CD release.

Do they not tell these girls that there are no manicurists in prison? And think of all the time lost that they could be attending red-carpet functions or doing glamorous photo-shoots with the classic “mermaid” pose, exposing those pretty little piggies for our salivating eyes!

From a foot lover’s point of view I would trade looking at their prison issue slip-ons for a nice pair of toe-less heels any day!

C’mon ladies! Won’t you please think of the innocent lives at risk, the criminal records that follow & last but not least, THINK OF THE FOOT GUYS!

I am sure that many of you red-blooded foot guys out there have seen the commercials featuring one of America’s favourite witches Alyssa Milano rolling around on a couch, showing off her shapely legs for the latest product in leg hair removal: Veet.  But have you noticed a slight difference with regards to the most recent commercials currently airing?If you said no then check your pulse and check out this link of the original commercial:

For those of you who nodded “yes” then you already have noticed the disturbing fact that Alyssa’s cute
toes and smooth soles have been covered by…argh! Shoes!  Not to mention gaudy, closed toe silvery looking aberrations!

What has this world come to when the exact same company that sells millions of dollars of foot care products can’t even show how those items work well to remove dry skin while you shave your beautiful legs with Veet?!?!

The reaction from foot guys worldwide to the original commercial was nothing short of tremendous approval for the commercial (you remember, the one where we actually get to see glimpses of Alyssa’s gorgeous peds?) so why the sudden turn to covering those beauties with ugh…shoes?

Did darling Alyssa have a pedicure go wrong? Was there a blister that couldn’t be covered up with base? Did her middle toe suddenly sprout forth like Pinocchio’s nose at a police interrogation?  

I urge all of you foot guys out there (now including the ones that didn’t notice the difference….pity….) to please forward your displeasure to the responsible parties namely Reckitt Benckiser Inc., the company that makes Veet. 

I’ve also made it easier for you one-clickers to find out where to complain, just click on this link:

This is the complaints department.  I am not too sure if it will work but what’s the harm in trying?

Now I am also well aware of the fact that these commercials aren’t supposed to be geared towards the foot aficionado but don’t smooth legs and silky soles kind of go hand in hand?

Hey hey!  Hayden’s 18!

After a somewhat dry spell of young female celebrities gracing the foot scene in recent months, August was a milestone month as another Hollywood actress turned legal in North America.

Hayden Panettiere, the somewhat self-proclaimed naughty girl who made us a little uneasy in recent months prancing around in bikinis and short skirts, is now ogle-able without worrying about being arrested for it.

Needless to say the paparazzi have been more than generous in giving us foot guys plenty of material to gaze over since August 21st, happily snapping away face and more importantly, full bodied pics of Hayden’s tanned legs and cute peds as she runs around Beverly Hills shopping or hops a plane to New York so that Late Night Dave can check out her firm little body in person.

It will also mean good news for male fans of the TV series Heroes, for now they can perv at her superhero character without hearing about it from their wives and daughters….well, maybe not.

Tony.
