    LOVE her porcelain skin.
    Also, I would elect that as the cutest dog video of the year!!! It’s soooo sweet, I want that pup!

  2. lisa says:

    i love her

    but that whole outfit is kind of fug and the cut of the dress isnt flattering on her

    she looks like she is in a steno pool

    • paige says:

      Grandma?
      She needs to learn how to dress.
      That haircolor – Oh my – in broad daylight? That color does not occur in nature….
      This palette with the dress, shoes, skin, and purse is nauseating…

      and no – They are NOT REAL.

  3. dahlianoir says:

    Are her chichis real ?

    • Michella says:

      They certainly aren’t imaginary.

    • Cazzee says:

      Well they’re right there on the front of her chest, so yes they are real.

      She bought them, though, if that’s what you’re asking. CH did a guest episode of ‘Serenity’ in 2002 or so, and she had a very different body type in that episode. Very different…

      • Samtha says:

        She was thinner when she did that Firefly episode, and still quite busty. The slight weight gain explains the bigger breasts. They don’t look fake at all to me.

    • kibbles says:

      I think they are real. She isn’t fat by any means, but she has a well-proportioned curvy figure. It’s not like she appears naturally skinny with stick thin legs and a flat ass. She has hips and meat on her legs. I have a similar body type and it is from exercising regularly and eating pretty much anything I want in moderation.

      • Aras says:

        I started re-watching Mad Men last month. I’m only up to episode one in season two, but I was surprised by how much smaller Christina Hendricks’ breasts looked in season one compared to now. She’s about the same size as she was in 2007, but her breasts are considerably larger than they were in season one.

  4. Enn says:

    I have yet to see her wear flattering clothing. I’m impressed that she can stand up straight, however.

  5. Anna says:

    CHRIS HEMSWORTH WITH BABY!!!

    • j.eyre says:

      Oh please darling, when you are done, may I? I am so desperate for CHemboy I didn’t even immediately click off the photos with her in them. I promise to feed him plenty of protein and caffeine so he is ready when I send him back to your room.

      With a cherry on top? (you can choose whether that is for the please or CHemboy)

      • MBP says:

        Call me slow, but why the particular dislike of *her*? As opposed to any other wife/girlfriend of someone, I mean?

      • Anna says:

        Well, Darling, only because you asked so nicely and only when I am completely and utterly spent! And I will take that cherry. I know I will be positively famished. Yummmm…XO

      • j.eyre says:

        Well you are not slow at all, MBP. Honestly, my reasons are simply as you stated – she’s his wife whom he adores. I don’t even dislike her, I just trump it up because I shamelessly lust after him.

        There are many here who do no care for her machinations to become a star. Although she does seem to be playing a rather aggressive game, I don’t generally have a problem with famewhoring. Plus, she is extremely good at her game and anyone who is that skilled gets my admiration.

        Not to mention she has landed CHemboy and has made him very happy so good on her.

        ETA: @Anna – oh, you are too good to me, darling. I promise to make it worth your while… although finding a cherry in this place will prove difficult.

    I have red hair and wear the colour red all the time. I like the way it looks with my pasty white skin.

    • Kristine says:

      Same. Red is my favorite color and I’ll be damned if I’m not going to wear a red shirt because it “isn’t right”.

      • UsedToBeLulu says:

        I thought the whole ‘red-heads shouldn’t wear pink or red’ thing was debunked a long time ago.

    • Murray says:

      I am a redhead and I get a lot of compliments when I wear an orange-based red like tomato or coral. I can’t do a blue-red, and I can’t wear any shade of pink.

    • gg says:

      eh, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Maybe I see colors a little differently than others, but I’m a very visual arts person and I simply can’t tolerate red or pink on a redhead myself and I’m a redhead.

      I went to a “Tomato Festival” this weekend and ARGH everybody was wearing horrid primary red thrift store clothing. Not impressed. Hurts the hell out of my eyeballs. This bright red just looks cheap to me. No imagination. And most of the people I see wearing red lips should not be doing so. Makes their teeth look yellow as all getout.

      • Erinn says:

        This. I work in web design. I have issues with a lot of colors that other people might not have.

        It probably depends on the shade of red hair, the skin tone, and the color of red clothing.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        @ Erinn,

        You took the words right out of my mouth & keyboard! I agree, it’s skin tone, shade of red hair, & the depth of the red color you wear. Christina H. is beautiful, but I don’t think this carrot red shade does anything for her. The color of the dress doesn’t work for her either. I’m sorry!

      • gg says:

        Thank you. What Erinn said. And yes, it really does matter what shade of “red” and skintone as well. If it’s that blue-red Sharon Osbourne color, a different pallette would apply. There are so many beautiful colors that look knockout and pop on a redhead, so why pick something so close for it to clash? I don’t get it.

        Try aqua, blues, any shade of green, and glorious lavenders and deep purple! They look absolutely fantastic with red hair.

      • Isa says:

        My daughter is a red head and I love red on her. There are many different shades of red hair though, hers is lighter than Christina’s, but Christina’s is the same shade as my son’s.
        red makes my daughters skin look beautiful and her blue eyes pop.
        I do prefer to put her in blue, yellow, and green but finding those colors in the little girls section is hard. It looks like a pink disco ball exploded in there.

  7. Dawn says:

    I love her and think that if you are a ginger and want to wear red you should!

  8. kibbles says:

    She needs a different hairdo, but other than that she looks great. I would totally wear this dress even though I’m not a fan of the large buttons. The dress looks good on her figure and it is acceptable casual wear for a normal day out and about.

  9. Viola says:

    I cant believe Downton Abbey still has an audience. America just loves sh*t TV I guess.

    • gg says:

      I was surprised to see that it’s even more popular in England, so speak for yourself. It beats any American TV I’ve ever seen. The photography and BBC handling is not surpassed by anyone.

  10. Amberly says:

    Elysium was barely the number one movie at the box office this weekend. We’re the Millers was not far behind an if it hadnt opened up a few days before Friday it would easily have had the number one spot over Elysium. Elysium was only a little better than fellow big budget sci-fi After Earth on its opening weekend which bombed and was less than both Pacific Rim and Oblivion, also big budget si-fi’s, which both underperformed. It also has a B cinema score which isn’t very good.. That means there won’t be good word of mouth recommending others to see it which means it won’t gain legs. And so far i haven’t heard good things about the movie, a lot of comments by movie goers have been disappointed in it and thought it was a waste of money to see it.

    • Samtha says:

      It’s interesting, to me, how the press is spinning Elysium as a “modest success,” when it underperformed. It might wind up successful because of overseas ticket sales, though.

    • Isabelle says:

      It was projected to earn $30 million this weekend. It actually performed slightly better than $30 million. The budget for Elysium was only $100 million. Small change compared to most sci-fi epics. It made about 41 million when you add in the international BO. It’s a moderate success because its made back about 40% of its budget within the first weekend.So while Elysium is no D9 it will eventually surpass its budget. IMO Elysium is the best movie I’ve seen this summer. Liked everything about it. Plan on actually seeing it again in IMAX.

    • blannie says:

      I loved it, but I’m a Matt Damon fan. The message was a bit heavy handed, but the visuals were stunning. I saw it at an IMAX theater. I don’t see a lot of sci-fi movies, so I don’t know how it stacks up to the others than have been released recently.

    • Andrew says:

      You also have to remember that it is rated R, unlike Oblivion and others. It didn’t do as well as expected, but I think that’s just because there is so much movie competition right now (FOUR movies opened this weekend). It’s a success, just not a huge runaway. Go to boxofficemojo, they’re the best at predicting and providing numbers and will straight up say if it’s a success or not.

  11. Isabelle says:

    Love how she rocks her skin. Hope she never goes down the road of tanning.

  12. LaurieH says:

    It’s not the most flattering color on a redhead, but it’s fine. I’s the cut of the dress that bothers. It’s not a silhouette that big-breasted, curvy, voluptuous women can wear without looking matronly.

  13. Tiffany says:

    Those shoes…I want.

  14. JuJuJen says:

    I am sorry but it’s time for a reduction!

  15. e.non says:

    couldn’t resist throwing this out there:

    “World War Z,” Pitt’s once-troubled zombie apocalypse movie, has dialed up $502.3 million at the worldwide box office, the star’s biggest total to date.

  16. j.eyre says:

    My parents used to make the same joke Jerry O’Connell did. They said that they only reason they stayed together was they couldn’t agree on who had to take the children.

    And that Usain Bolt photo is as amazing as advertised. I love watching him run.

  17. Norman Bates' Mother says:

    After reading the link about baby-name change I must take back whatever bad things I’ve said about Apple, Cricket, Blue Bear or even North West. I can’t believe there are at least TWO sets of parents who tought it’s a good idea to name their children Burger, Google, Hippo or Goodluck. In a single year. How many baby Burgers and Hippos are there in total?

  18. Lucky15 says:

    Christina Hendricks looks beautiful!

  19. Anyone can wear any color; it’s a matter of finding the right shade(s) of that color.

    And even more than that, it’s a matter of being confident in who you are.

  20. juls says:

    Well I am blonde and can’t wear ANY shade of yellow or gold. Ahhh to each her own I guess.

  21. wiffie says:

    Is ANYONE going to mention the fact it looks like Naomi Campbell has a teeny peen?!?

  22. anet says:

    She’s the only actor on Mad Men, besides Slattery, that is a natural. Hope to see more of her..and continues to do well in the biz.

  23. shannon says:

    If I got implants I would look just like her. Crazy pale skin and all. My hair is even naturally that color (hers isn’t). Too bad plastic surgery grosses me out. Sigh.

  24. Grant says:

    Gingers should never wear red? Melisandre from Game of Thrones would disagree. (:

  25. Nibbi says:

    i think she is stunning but this is so not her best look.

  26. paranormalgirl says:

    I’m a redhead (a true blue Irish born and bred ginger) and I can wear certain reds, but cannot wear pink or yellow.

  27. Ashley Yeah I said it says:

    PLease that hair is a WIGLET

    her hair which i saw all moppy and wet on Ryan Gosling’s movie set is mad thin and sparse….

    ITS all in the PART ladies and gent

    …..all in the part (or no part)!
