From shapewear to surgery, the male quest to build the perfect behind has become a super-sized business
In a nation divided by politics, culture wars and the appropriate way to eat a scone, it seems that there is one thing we can all agree on: we like big butts and we cannot lie. In this (and every) regard, Kim Kardashian has a lot to answer for. The 2007 pilot of her reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians began with her momager Kris Jenner discussing her “junk in the trunk”, and Kardashian’s ginormous bottom was hefty enough to “break the internet” after its official unveiling on the co ..read more

Chris O’Shea’s payBook shelf arrangementsFrom scone to scallopThe king’s prostate
Let’s get Chris O’Shea’s Centrica pay correct (Boss of British Gas owner says it is ‘impossible to justify’ his £4.5m pay, 19 January). His actual salary is stated to be £790,000.
