Two weeks ago, when Emily Parr was thrown out of the Big Brother house for using the n-word, a bewildered Lost in Showbiz asked the questions: Isn't it enough just to look hot anymore? Did we miss some tedious tolerance memo? And what does she look like topless?
Imagine our luck, then, to have all three inquiries answered at once, in the form of this week's Nuts magazine cover, for which we thank our darling friends at Chicken Dinner.
"She's naughty," reads Emily's strapline. "But very nice!"
Once again, it takes the men's magazine fraternity to put this whole racism thing into perspective. It was Maxim, you may recall, that rode to the the rescue when Celebrity Big Brother contestant Danielle Lloyd suffered a similarly unfair backlash after suggesting Indian actress Shilpa Shetty should "fuck off home". The magazine printed a series of shots in which the erstwhile consort of Teddy Sheringham gave us her version of an appearance before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Namely, a lot of stuff involving whips, mirrors, and quarter cup bras.
As for Emily, she could barely be more contrite. "I know I have a nice arse," she informs Nuts. "People tell me all the time."
