31. Aretha Franklin is massive, but yet she is the Queen of Soul. Okay, Mandisa is obese. We all know this ,but she is very talented. TMZ just want you all to jump on the fat woman. Mama Cass was talented too.

32. And DMD, we "tolerate" them as you say, because their wieight is only hurting them. Why do you care so much?

34. Also, Kate Smith was the size of the Titanic, and she is legendary. We can't make them lose weight. No use pummeling them over it.

35. Since she's the same size that she was on AI, why is this news?

So is one of the tm z staffers smart enough to be in law school? THAT'S shocking. I ask because res ipsa loquitur is a legal term that a person learns in law school.

37. Nell Carter was rotund, and she had a successful career too. There are plenty of fat singers out there who made it. It is better to lose weight, and be healthy and live longer though.

38. ITS TOO BAD THAT YOU ARE SO PERFECT THAT YOU CAN TRASH PEOPLE..SOMEDAY YOU WILL HAVE TO ANSWER FOR ALL THE HORRIBLE THINGS THAT YOU SAY ABOUT EVERYONE .... IT MAKES YOU THE ONE WHO IS THE LOSER BY FAR.

39. I'm not sure what you comment of "Res ipsa loquitur" (translation...."the thing speaks for itself") is supposed to mean with regards to your picture of Mandisa. Mandisa actually has a BRILLIANT voice and should go further than she will!! She should have won American Idol! None of the other contestants came close. Look...anyone who can belt out "I'm any woman", almost identical to Chaka Khan, can sing! She only lost because she wasn't a fan favorite.....in other words, she wasn't as cute as ____ or thin as _____. ((TMZ can surely fill in the blanks. You should be ashamed of yourselves!!))

41. #13..my thoughts exactly...every last one of the people on the TMZ TV show are dog meat ugly and have NO ROOM to be poking fun at anyone else...but they do it daily...they are the school yard bullies ! But I must say that TMZ online is a guilty pleasure! But I really HATE when you all are mean to people it makes me not want to come back for the juicy fun stuff!

45. Okay, I'm not one to criticize because I'm not a petite size myself, but big oversized women need to do the Starr Jones thingy and get a bypass. Yes, get some surgical help. Because it is very very unhealthy, whether or not they want to admit it. You're not born fat, you eat yourself to fat.
