I was link-hopping while at work today and came across a photo album at the New York Daily News called "Tanorexia" which was pointing out the "over-tanning" of celebrities. I'm flipping through pictures and some of the choices already seem a bit strange to me. I can't stand orange white people -- it's not natural. So when I'm sitting there saying "oh they're not too bad" [like I did when they showed a picture of Hilary Duff, for example], I'm already a little suspect.
But then I get to picture #67 which blasts Rihanna for being too tan. The caption reads: "Rihanna channels Madonna in a lace-and-pearl getup, but the Material Girl never sported the Oompa Loompa look!"
Yes, this Rihanna:

W....what?
Seriously? What the fuck is wrong with people?

I'm not sure which is worse the first one with the reality star mere seconds from falling out of her dress, the girl in the football jersey who looks suspiciously like my little niece when her parents catch her off guard and demand for her to strike a pose and say cheese, or poor Jennifer Love Hewitt who looks like she might have just been raised from the dead.
