• The Victoria's Secret pleasure robots must undergo vigorous inspection if they're going to walk in brand's annual holiday runway show. Vigorous inspection. Casting director Sophia Neophitou-Apostolou examines all of the beauties -- even the very famous names among them -- for imperfections. "It's really like being an Olympian," she said. "They have to be in peak condition. It's not about being thin or anything like that -- it's about being ready to perform and be the best you can be in that moment." Some of the girls are even -- gasp! -- trying to gain weight so they'll be more curvaceous for the big day. Lindsay Ellingson says she's been on a steady diet of "almond butter, peanut butter, protein shakes ... just to feel a little sexier and curvier." God bless that woman. [Daily Mail]

You guys are hogging all the good massage therapists! [The Times and Democrat]
