Quel Beast!

by Dolly

The classic fairy tale of the Beauty and the Beast tells the story of a timeless beauty who falls in love with a former-hunk-turned-hulk. As Beauty and Beast get to know one another, true love and devotion grow from friendship and mutual respect, and Beast is transformed back to a handsome prince. Le sigh. If only more couples could end up like Monsieur et Madame Beast…

Think again. Fast forward to present day and you will find a new version of this story. Today, Beauty’s “Beast” is a well known public figure in sports, entertainment, or politics, who has a seemingly decent reputation in society - until he is caught doing something really stupid…

Whoops!

Le boo-hoo-hoo…

Run, don’t walk, Huma!

Beastly behavior is never in style. So why have so many beautiful and brilliant women – after being devoted to these beasts - been publicly humiliated by them? And why do these arrogant men continue to cover up? It’s truly baffling...

Beast and Beast: Leann Rimes & Eddie Cibrian (and former spouses) before the affair

Why so clingy, Leann? I’m sure your new hubs isn’t using you.

One trend that seems to have emerged from all of this is the post-beast detox, where once purged of the beast, the Beauties of today become even more beautiful. They look stronger and better than ever. Well done, Sandy!
