Donna Summer -- Disco Dinosaur

At her sold-out concert in Atlantic City this weekend, 59-year-old '70s disco diva Donna Summer proved she's still got wide appeal.

But after this purple Barney dress debacle, let's hope it's her stylist's last dance.

61. I was at that concert, although she wasn't a size 2 , She looked great! It was a rocking concert, this is just a bad angle, by the way her new CD "Crayons" is great.

66. Haters! I bet most of you commenting are huge. Or you live at home with your huge mothers. It's easy to unleash (while behind a computer) the same attacks people make toward you fat so's in person. You privately get to be the one's attacking vs. the ones being attacked for once. Put your real pictures up. Let's see you! Donna is still very beautiful in my eyes.

70. TMZ, this article is mean-spirited. I may be a size 6, but I have friends and family who aren't. This kind of jerk-journalism allows an entire class of people (some appointed by size, others by themselves) to be the last socially-sanctioned prejudice. Would you write this kind of article about someone who was diabled, multicultural, a newscaster with a lisp, or a paparazzi whose subject got killed running away from your camera?

This kind of journalism is killing people. Some like Donna will suffer backstage; others, like Amy Winehouse, will suffer in front of it.

Stop it.

71. Why do some of you slam others for posting their comments? This is America and TMZ has set this up for people to comment. Why do you (those that slam others) take the time to read/comment about what others have said instead of just commenting on the given subject? In other words, some of you like to have your say as long as no one else is having theirs. If you don't like what you're reading go elsewhere. Meanwhile, we will all continue to post what we want to as we see it.

72. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA9jvuEa0VM Is her on Letterman last month. and http://www.gettyimages.com/Search/Search.aspx?contractUrl=2&language=en-US&family=editorial&assetType=image&p=donna%20summer&src=standard is where TMZ got the pic from--as you can see this is by far the least flattering of any of the pics that was chosen. I saw the woman, it was an amazing concert, over 2 hours and she was NEVER out of breath, always moving, and sang GORGEOUSLY. The woman is overweight, she's 60, a grandmother, who's been out of the spotlight for over 10 years. She did lose some weight for the tour though and got into shape to pull it off--and she does with spades.

That said in her glory days she was addicted to drugs, and anorexic! She's now in a place where she's happy with herself, and it shows. She also is NOT morbidly obese, she was never out of breath, and she's not large like Aretha Franklin large. I think she's actually pretty healthy all things considered and still beautiful. She has 8 costume changes in her show and I have to say these is by far the most questionable one, but it did look MUCH better on stage in person.

I dunno why this kinda reaction bugs me--it just seems pointless and too easy to mock someone, who's 60 no less and just coming back into the limelight on her weight. But I don't think Donna cares--she seems to be having the time of her life.
