Beth Ditto of The Gossip on fat & stuff | pics too
"I just like food too much, and I don't want to change. I spent so much of childhood trying to change, and I just got sick of it. Then I went out Olympia and I met people who were part of a bigger movement -- no pun intended -- but a bigger movement, and it was really one of the most powerful things in my life. It is still a battle. Especially being in the music industry, it's so fucking hard." [Beth Ditto rules - read the rest @ PopMatters]
THE GOSSIP @ KNITTING FACTORY | MARCH 25, 2006 (cred)
The above picture rules too, and that's from Knitting Factory's very own blog. 'hip pop, hooray!!' has a review of that show. I saw them last time they played Knitting Factory, but unfortunately missed this one. Earlier in the night (or maybe at the same time?) Nikki Sudden played his last show right downstairs in the same club (RIP NIKKI).
The Gossip played SXSW too. There's some sick pics of their Emo's show on Flickr.

Beth is the best. I saw them at SXSW and hung out with her a little bit the next day. She is a force to be reckoned with and a fierce fierce lady.

"There's some people who you just can't trust.
There's some people who talk too much."
Just a bit of The Goxxip for all you haters.

enjay...another fucking tool. i bet you are really good looking to be passing judgment on someone else's appearance. it's people like you that make women proud to be "fat ugly lesbians". do the world a favor and kill yourself.

I think she is awesome!! Does it really matter how big she is? Or whether she is a lesbian? She is talented.

fat and unhealthily proud of it.
she can stake a claim to diabetes and other weight attributed diseases.

I like my bands fat not flat - Beth spilled the dish about being fat and all that and says "If I spent all this time trying to change myself and my body I would probably never be in this band". Check out the full interview with pics (she looks beautiful!) here: http://dish.fancast.com/2008/04/fancast_interview_beth_ditto_o.html

the gossip is hot and if you're not attracted to the lead singer, beth ditto, check out the drummer or anyone else in the band. or better yet, check out the hotties in the audience with you.
sounds like somebody's having their quarter-life CRI-SIS!
if she's disease-free and i were drunk, i'd do her.
so shut up, haters!!
