Writer Liz Jones has a story in the Daily Mail in which she recounts her emotions surrounding the chopping-off of her waist-length hair. Jones calls her hair a "split-ended curtain behind which I could hide." She says "It was just a long, heavy, hairy version of a burka, out of which two big dark eyes would peep, nervously, at the world." At best, Jones was known as :"the girl with the long hair." At worst, she was called "the witch." Her husband hated her hair, telling her it felt like a horse's mane and made her look like "an old hag." She grew it longer just to spite him — and then she (thankfully!) divorced him. Then? Because she was "holding on" to her youth while "hurtling towards the age of 50," she got her hair cut. More »

Some people just make it too easy, you know? Ridiculing Liz Jones, the Daily Mail columnist who has made a living chronicling the demise of her now ex-husband Nirpal Dhaliwal, calling American women stupid , and detailing her collection of couture clothing, is like shooting fish in the proverbial barrel. Which is not to say that Private Eye, the satirical British magazine, didn't do a bang up job of culling the most ridiculous Liz Jones excerpts from the past few weeks. Jezebel reader Helen sent us some scans of Private Eye's take on Jones's blather "for the shits and giggles as I believe you American ladies, would say." Prepare to shit twice and giggle copiously at Liz's ridiculousness, after the jump. More »

Writer and Sexist of the Year Tad Safran, who has spent the past month insulting both British and American women (and in some cases, American women playing British women, like Renee Zellweger in Bridget Jones), is ostensibly the subject of a column in today's Daily Mail called The Man Who Called British Women 'Ugly' Goes On A Date - With Liz Jones. Who is Liz Jones? A writer (pictured here with Tad) who spends the first half of her article slagging American women. Why does she hold such a grudge against the Yankee birds? Because her ex-husband cheated on her with one, naturally! More »
