--Oscar nominee Mo'Nique is happy being hairy. After she showed off her unshaven legs at the Golden Globes, the actress says she has no plans to change her grooming habits. "I tried shaving one time, and it was so uncomfortable and painful," she says. "I said never again would I do that to myself. I'm 42, and I'm very hairy." [PopEater]

--Sarah Palin tried her hand at stand-up comedy on Tuesday's Tonight Show, taking shots at the White House and her native Alaska. One of her best bits? "People in Alaska are so different than Los Angeles," she says. "Here, when people have a frozen look on their face, I find out it's botox!" And...rim-shot! [TheFrisky.com]

--Just weeks after earning gold at the Vancouver Olympics, snowboarder Shaun White is showing off the goods -- shirtless! -- on the cover of the new issue of Rolling Stone. [Perez Hilton]

--As Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Sherzinger signs on to do Dancing With the Stars, two of her group members have announced they're parting ways with the girl group. The Dolls are currently on hiatus, but are expected to record a new album without members Kimberley Wyatt and Ashley Roberts. [PopEater]

--Robert Pattinson is one hot wax figure! The New Moon hunk is getting his own wax likeness at Madame Tussauds in London, to be unveiled later this month. Dressed in an open-collared shirt and skinny trousers, Pattinson's figure will have taken approximately four months to make. [PopSugar]

    Where in the Bible does it state "Women must shave thy legs but men are exempt"?

    I don't see any reason to shave either. Men don't have to. Why should we? I can't shave because I'm pregnant... so what's the big deal

    You go girl, Keep what GOD gave you. If your man likes it, don't really matter what others think.

  • March 04, 2010 - 12:20pm Ms M

    You go girl, If GOD wanted you to be hairless you would have been born that way. Keep all the hair GOD blessed you with, I'm the same way, just cause other women do it doesn't mean you have to follow the crowd. Stay true to you!!

    To each their own, however, if you're gonna go the "natural" route, cover yourself up! No one wants to see your nasty stuff! These are the same people that don't use deodorant....it's just nasty....

    She could have this taken care of with some laser hair removal treatments, I'm sure she can afford it.

    Can you say LAZY!!!!!!!

  • March 04, 2010 - 10:47am Jon

    No offense to Mo'Nique, who I like, I don't need to know about her Hairy Legs & how much she likes it! Sorry shaving once didn't work out for her, though!

    The only way Sarah Palin can make me laugh is if she jumps off a cliff and disappears for good. Then you better believe I will laugh for days.

    Personally, I find hairiness to be disturbing on anyone, male or female. I'm not a fan of hair. BUT I can understand why she'd feel that way, shaving is uncomfortable. Especially to make sure you have a good shave, without stray hairs all over the place. Bleh. If it weren't for the fact that I'm extremely allergic to pain, I'd go for waxing.

    i really like Mo'Nique and the role she played on Precious was amazing, she's a GREAT actress!!! this whole thing about her not shaving her legs...well, i mean, it's not anybody's biz but her own and if her hubby doesn't mind well then.... BUT imho, it's just NOT feminine to be all hairy!!! i've yet to come across a man who says that he loves hairy women! but to each their own. still, the comment of her trying to shave 1ce but that it was painful is just hard for me to believe. it CAN be a bit uncomfortable but PAINFUL? sumtimes you can nick yourself but....anyhow, still love ya Mo!!!
