Nastia Liukin - Olympic StyleFoul!
We understand the so-called "bitch face," while competing. We'd prefer to think of Nastia Liukin's scowl while out on the mat, as more of a competitor's face than anything else. This isn't cheerleading -- this is someone who's put a lifetime of training into trying to win an Olympic gold medal -- pointed toes are a requisite, not smiling. And, in the words of a very wise Disney movie, we believe the exact quote is, "It's not called gymNICEstics!"
But, a few smiles on the podium would not have hurt. That's where we call StyleFoul on this one. Oh, that and the fact that Nastia is rumored to have tried to sabotage teammate and supposed best friend Shawn Johnson by putting laxatives in her breakfast in attempt to stop her from winning balance beam gold.
If that's true, non-smiling and laxatives are huge StyleFouls. But, we're calling not-Nastia! on this blind item, which says, "Which two perky Olympian teammates are really bitter rivals? One spiked the other's protein shake with laxatives before a big competition, but her plan backfired when her nemesis not only powered through the competition but beat her so-called friend anyway."
Because seriously, who in his right mind would ever describe Nastia as perky? Besides, she might be one hell of a fierce bitch -- but when it comes right down to it, she's one fierce classy bitch. Nastia would never stoop that low.
