nikki copy cat

1. Nikki is fat sure, but no where near that fat.

2. no need to be mean about it. most of us don’t find that funny.

“You Can’t Stop the Beat”, huh? Looks like the Broadway stagehands on strike DID stop the beat for a weeks.

But it’s nice the fat chick can promote her DVD!

Awesome! I can’t wait. I don’t think I have ever been this excited for the parade. Too bad more of the HS cast won’t be involved.
