'Elephant Legs' Are The Newest Body Part Under Attack By British Press, But Who's Their Target?
From Trout Pout to Tunnock's Teacakes Kneecaps, the British press continues to excel at being nasty in their coverage of celebrity body parts gone wrong. Now that they've gone after some of the more obscure body parts (we're still waiting for their exclusive on Madame Tussaud's Wax-Filled Ear Canals), they're retraining their sights on the cellulite-ridden genre of "Elephant Legs." To be fair, we all know the old (and quasi-verifiable) saying that the camera adds ten pounds. But with masterful close-up shots (what do they do? kneel down and twist the zoom feature so far to the right that it nearly breaks off?) of a certain celebrity's thighs, no adage can be trusted in this case. So which target have they angled in on for having legs they deem elephant-like? Click through for the (shocking!) victim in question:
Yes, it's none other than hard-working Britney Spears, just trying to make it to her car in peace. While we don't quite see the ghastly sight that the Daily Mail finds so horrifying (every gal's got a little cellulite here and there, especially with two pregnancies under their belt), the pictures suggest that Brit is en route to the gym. So as schadenfreudalicious as all these British assaults may be, we think Britney deserves a pass in this instance. Besides, judging from yesterday's screen shot of her scene in How I Met Your Mother, she doesn't even have to reveal much leg at all!
