Former Victoria's Secret Model Kylie Bisutti Regrets Disrespecting Her Husband, God

Jesus take the wheel. (Or the push-up bra.) Former Victoria's Secret model and verrry current Christian Kylie Bisutti, who won an Angel modeling competition in 2009, denounces the company in her upcoming tell-all I'm No Angel, reports The Frisky.

Bisutti, who didn't seem to realize that Victoria's Secret was a lingerie line before winning the contest, realized that she was "being paid to strip down and pose provocatively to titillate men. It wasn’t about modeling clothes anymore; [she] felt like a piece of meat."

I suppose that it could be true, albeit unlikely, that Bisutti wasn't aware that the VS company is primarily known for releasing catalogs that get passed around a bus full of 7th grade boys' grubby hands.

Still, you gotta wonder if this was her endgame when she signed up for the contest. After all, she had to know what she was getting into. It reminds me of Christian blonde Shannon from America's Next Top Model, returning to the All-Star cycle even after she knew that she'd be urged to break her nudity clause again... Maybe I'm just being cynical, but I kind of assume all these gals just want reality shows.

And so, Bisutti continues, she dropped to her knees and recited a prayer familiar to most, if not all of us. (I do this every day!)

"I was in my bedroom and dropped to my knees and started to pray. 'God, why did you have me win the Victoria’s Secret Angel competition if it was going to make me feel this way? I’m not honoring my husband. I just want answers!'"

Because this is clearly the first issue the Almighty would deal with before moving on to third-world famine, violence and war crimes.

Anyway, a pissed-off Victoria's Secret has responded with quite a different sequence of events in their statement:

"[Bisutti] was never a Victoria’s Secret “Angel” as defined by the terms of our Angel model contract. And contrary to Ms. Bisutti’s claims, she was never offered any subsequent modeling contracts or opportunities with Victoria’s Secret despite her multiple appeals for further work. She has repeatedly fabricated her work experience with Victoria’s Secret – including a relationship that simply did not exist."

Huh: Carrie Underwood Would Quit Music If Her Husband Asked Her To

Well, in today's edition of puzzling things celebs say, we have the amazingly talented Carrie Underwood, who revealed in an interview that she would quit music for the sake of her marriage to NHL star Mike Fisher. Yes, you read that correctly.

"If Mike ever told me he needed me to quit, I'd quit," she told People. "When you make that promise to somebody, and you stand before God and your family and friends, you've got to do everything that you possibly can to make that work."

We're trying our best not to turn into Judgy McJudgersons here. Really, we are. We love Carrie. We know that every woman's choice on how to balance her career and her relationship is hers and hers alone. And we can understand the need to take a break from touring, or something like that, to spend time with her hubby.

But...completely quitting music?! Seriously?!

Being in a relationship that allows us to grow our careers and follow our ambitions is non-negotiable in our books, especially after reading Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In. (We think Carrie needs to get herself a copy—STAT.) And while we don't know Mike's feelings on the issue, we imagine that, like most awesome guys, he wouldn't ask Carrie to give up what she's passionate about for him.

Plus, according to research in Sandberg's book, marriages tend to last longer when husbands and wives share the breadwinning duties. So, if Carrie wants to make her marriage work, it might actually be better that she keeps kicking ass in the music biz.

Certainly, Carrie's already accomplished way more professionaly than we probably ever will. But, still: Wouldn't she just end up resenting Mike after awhile if she gave up everything she's worked so hard for? IMO, that's not the kind of stress you want on your relationship.

Princeton '77 Alumnus Warns Undergrads To Find a Husband Before They're Grizzled Old Twentysomethings

Oh, Lord. So I'm pretty sure that Susan A. Patton, among the first group of 200 female students to attend Princeton University in the 1970s, meant well when she wrote this Letter to The Editor printed in the Princetonian. She's like that older relative of yours who nervously wipes her mouth with a hankie and provides a weak smile when you tell her you're still single.

"I'm sure it'll happen for you, sweetie. Have you thought about growing out your hair? Men like long hair on girls," she stammers as she carefully folds her hankerchief back up and slides it into her pocketbook.

She just wants the best for you! Because when women don't marry in their early twenties, they shrivel up like salted slugs! I'm shriveling! I'm shriveling! Help me!

Patton writes that she has been returning annually to the university to speak about women and leadership. However, she asserts that the students in attendance were more interested in hearing about personal relationships, particularly marriage (which seems... not likely! But OK, I'll roll with it for now):

You girls glazed over at preliminary comments about our professional accomplishments and the importance of networking. [...] Clearly, you don’t want any more career advice. At your core, you know that there are other things that you need that nobody is addressing. A lifelong friend is one of them. Finding the right man to marry is another.

Patton then goes on to inform the "daughters [she] never had" that the most important part of attending Princeton is to land a Princeton-educated man—forget all that Sheryl Sandberg stuff—and you better do it before you graduate:

Forget about having it all, or not having it all, leaning in or leaning out. For most of you, the cornerstone of your future and happiness will be inextricably linked to the man you marry, and you will never again have this concentration of men who are worthy of you. Here’s what nobody is telling you: Find a husband on campus before you graduate. Yes, I went there.

GO ON WITH YOUR BAD SELF, SUSAN. Just kidding. You're crazy. Two things.
A) Recent studies show that marrying at 25 is the age most likely to end in a successful union.

B) In Susan A. Patton Land, which is full of pearls and apple pies and retrograde notions of heterosexual coupling, anyone who has less than an Ivy League education is clearly not worth your time. (FYI, I've met some lazy Ivy League-educated assholes in my day.)

I am the mother of two sons who are both Princetonians. My older son had the good judgment and great fortune to marry a classmate of his, but he could have married anyone. My younger son is a junior and the universe of women he can marry is limitless. Men regularly marry women who are younger, less intelligent, less educated. It’s amazing how forgiving men can be about a woman’s lack of erudition, if she is exceptionally pretty. Smart women can’t (shouldn’t) marry men who aren’t at least their intellectual equal. As Princeton women, we have almost priced ourselves out of the market. Simply put, there is a very limited population of men who are as smart or smarter than we are. And I say again — you will never again be surrounded by this concentration of men who are worthy of you.

Every woman without a Princeton diploma is a dumb slag. Pass it on.

Not only is this a retrograde attitude towards women, both Ivy-educated and otherwise, it's also a narrow-minded view of men. Isn't it likely that some men, especially those who are ostensibly smarter than average, look for women who are intellectually stimulating? It's just so cynical.

And, adds Patton, let's not forget the Age Factor. Men don't want ancient spinsters in their early to mid-20s, for they are covered in moss and bark and are as ancient and barren and dry as a tree in winter.

As freshman women, you have four classes of men to choose from. Every year, you lose the men in the senior class, and you become older than the class of incoming freshman men. So, by the time you are a senior, you basically have only the men in your own class to choose from, and frankly, they now have four classes of women to choose from.

Someone want to scrape all this bark off me? Thx! :D
