Why Can't Stars Drop The Chalupa?

Like Pavlov's dogs, Hollywood's hottest starlets start salivating like chihuahuas the second they hear the call of the bell – Taco Bell, that is.


Paris Hilton confesses her love for the Nachos Bellgrande to a teeming swarm of lensmen (and obviously just can't get enough of the free drink refills) at a Hollywood location, while Nicole Richie (and then-boytoy Steve-O) make a late night run for the border after some hard partying at the Roosevelt Hotel.

Not to be outdone, Britney Spears gives her baby on board just the kind of wholesome nutrition he or she needs with a vitamin-packed chalupa, while Mischa Barton tucks into a burrito to put a little (and we mean a little) meat on her bones.

Now, everybody's had the occasional craving for that gloopy, cheesy, meaty Taco Bell goodness. But what could be driving these stick-thin starlets to indulge their inner frat boy with such glee to the exclusion of other fast-food options like McDonald's, Burger King, and such delicious LA staples as Del Taco and In-n-Out Burger?

Could it be the round-the-clock service? The little yappy spokesdog? The low, low prices? Or maybe those incredibly annoying yet mesmerizing "Good to Go" TV spots for the Crunchwrap Supreme?

Whatever secret seasoning they're putting in the ground beef, it's definitely got these girls thinking outside the bun.

3. Agree - they use giant cans of lard filled refriend beans! All that stuff is the same - just stacked differently - beans, cheese, sour cream, etc.

We live in California for God's sake, you can find decent real Mexican food

7. As an Englishman I assure you Taco Bell is , without doubt, the finest budget Mexican food in the US.

We had one in London in for several and I shed many a tear on it's closing.

I've never enjoyed fast food so much..

10. Um who cares how it tastes, it makes you fat!! The US has to many fatties walking around! Hit the gym and eat some low fat yogurt!!!

11. Taco Bell only makes you fat if you shove your face full of it several times a week and sit on your lazy ass all day. It's just like any other food. You just have to eat in moderation. Even healthy food can put pounds on you if you live like a sloth. Of course it's better to eat real food than processed junk but DAMN people. Stop blaming fast food places for your fat asses and stop trying to look like these emaciated, skin and bones, drug addicted & alcoholic, talentless string bean
sluts! And no i'm not jealous of them. 36-25-38...loves it.

Vive la fit girls, stick bitches be damned!!!!!

Taco bell for everbody!!!
