Dear Kim Kardashian,Recently, you stated on your blog that you weigh “right under 120 lbs.” When many commenters on The Superficial and on your site, before they were erased, rightfully cried “Bullshit!” (Including myself who, physically possessing half your mass, weighs 145 lbs), you posted an update saying you would videotape yourself getting on a scale. You’ve since edited that update to say you would slide yourself into a pair of size 27 jeans then posted a video of yourself doing just that.Kim, this proves nothing. (Except that you have access to butter.) So, here’s my proposal to you to end these shenanigans once and for all:I challenge you, Kim Kardashian, to walk into any department store and step on a scale in front of a random camera crew. I’d be more than happy to meet you there and show you how a scale works in case you’re not familiar with the process. What can I say? I’m a gentleman.Should you weigh 120 lbs or less, I will write a post encouraging folks to vote for you on Dancing with the Stars provided you don’t get kicked off tonight. I will also concede that you don’t wear a buttpad. (Even though we both know the truth. *wink*)Should you weigh 121 lbs or more, you will walk around with “The Superficial.com” written prominently on your spacious rear while traversing downtown LA. – in a bikini.Or you could simply come clean and admit you’re at least a buck forty. Ball’s in your court – unless Khloe ate it, in which case, I’ll FedEx over another one.Sincerely,The Superficial WriterP.S. Thanks for reading the site!

These are pics of Dutch model and newest Victoria’s Secret Angel Doutzen Kroes in Miami. Now, I can already tell what some of you readers are going to say about her boyfriend. C’mon, I read the comments. So, it’s pretty obvious there’s going to be a few of you who will undoubtedly say, “That’s just unacceptable – because she should be in an entirely non-committal sex-based relationship with The Superficial Writer who once made love to a space woman. True story.” To those folks, my deepest thanks and your autographed Martian baby is in the mail.See shots of Doutzen’s Victoria’s Secret debut here which now look even more ridiculously airbrushed.

For the few of you who haven’t heard, former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and DJ AM were the sole survivors of a plane crash Saturday in South Carolina that left four people dead. The two had just performed at a free concert (above) near the University of South Carolina with Perry Farrell and Gavin DeGraw. They are currently being treated at the Joseph M. Still Burn Center for second- and third- degree burns, the AP reports:
“Anybody who can survive a plane crash is pretty lucky,” Mullins told reporters during a news conference Sunday morning.
Barker was burned on his torso and lower body and DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, was burned on an arm and a portion of his scalp, according to a statement from the musicians’ families released by the hospital. Mullins declined to discuss specific recovery times for the men, but said such injuries can take a year to fully heal.
Both men are still in critical but stable condition, he said.
Right before the crash, Travis and DJ AM were lucky enough to dive out of the plane while it was engulfed in flames. An eyewitness, William Owens, watched the wreckage careen across the highway in front of him and came upon the survivors:
“I noticed two guys who were on fire and it looked like a dance: They didn’t know what to do,” said Owens, a 60-year-old delivery van driver.
Goldstein had stripped off his own shirt and was helping Barker strip naked, said Owens, who was able to identify the men Saturday night because of news reports that showed Barker’s extensive tattoos.
Owens said Goldstein told him four other people were on board the jet, but the flames were too intense to get close.
“‘Oh my God’ was all they were saying,” Owens said of Barker and Goldstein. “They stood there and it’s like — didn’t know what to do. None of us did.”
According to a recording recovered from the cockpit by authorities, it appears a tire burst while the plane was near its 92 mph take-off speed.The Superficial wishes a healthy recovery for Travis Barker and DJ AM along with our sincere condolences to the families of Chris Baker, Charles Still, Sarah Lemmon and James Bland.
