Christina Hendricks' Husband Bashes the New York Times for 'Big Girl' Comments

By PopEater Staff Posted Jan 30th 2010 10:09AM

'Mad Men' starlet Christina Hendricks drew lots of eyeballs -- and Internet comments -- thanks to her dress at the Golden Globes earlier this month. Flaunting her curvaceous figure and a whole lotta cleavage, Hendricks' dress prompted one blogger for the New York Times to say: "You don't put a big girl in a big dress," which caused an uproar in the comments section and across the Web. Well, now Hendricks' husband is fighting back, calling the comments "ridiculous."

During the Globes, New York Times fashion critic Cathy Horyn posted a digitally widened photo of Hendricks, saying: "You don't put a big girl in a big dress. That's rule number one". She later said that the photo was mistakenly distorted, and it was replaced on the page.

Geoffrey Arend, who tied the knot with Hendricks last October, tells PEOPLE he "was just upset about the whole Golden Globes dress thing. I thought she looked so gorgeous. And that New York Times blogger saying that... It's so ridiculous."

Arend goes on to say the best part of the whole fracas "was seeing the entire internet come after that blogger. That was really cool. It was the first time I saw just a solid block of 'You're crazy! What's wrong with you? You should be ashamed of yourself!' [in the comments.] And honestly, the Grey Lady should be ashamed of themselves to print a picture like that, that they widened!"

Hendricks' gown was designed by 'Project Runway' winner Christian Siriano.

She's gorgeous! She's beautiful, healthy curvy, and a total knockout. SO much more lovely than those celebutards who look like skeletons. Christine Hendricks is a knockout - stunningly gorgeous.

OMG, Christina Hendricks is a gorgeous KNOCKOUT. She looks healthy, sexy, and happy (instead of like some others who look like skeletons with fake boobs).

Everything about Christina is beautiful- her face, her figure, and her personality, plus she has real talent.
