Lusty, Busty & Fine: Jill Scott in "Baggage Claim" Shows That Big Girls Can Get Sexy Too
Today, I finally saw the Paula Patton led movie, Baggage Claim, and it was.... a predictably mediocre romantic comedy.

Saw this piece and thought it…
Please tell me I'm not crazy. Please, please, PLEASE. I'm actually almost in tears over this because I thought these women were rational people. And I'm okay with differing opinions, but I really feel like they're been dogpiling on me, and I getting too worked up to be coherent. And on top of it, I follow them all…
