Amanda Palmer's label refuses to promote album because of "fat belly"
 

Beautiful, talented Amanda Palmer (of Dresden Dolls fame) is looking for a new recording label because hers (Roadrunner) has refused to promote her new album. Apparently they came to a breaking point when she refused to cut shots of her "fat belly" from the video of "Leeds United." Please note my dripping-with-sarcasm tone when I use the word "fat" and "belly" in this context.

Story, video, and links to the fan campaign (reBELLYon) are here.

Really, Roadrunner? THAT is fat? Well. You should come visit me sometime.

I'm... appalled. Just freaking apalled.

If that's fat, what do you call the Statue of liberty, or Michelangelo's Pieta, or Raphael's Virgins, or Marilyn Monroe for Cripe's sake!

I'd kill for a "belly" like hers. Okay, not really, but I'd feel very sexy if I were that thin.

Wow.
I'm like... what belly?

Hell, I feel sexy at my size. I just think it's crazy to pretend that people actually look airbrushed in real life!

Her belly looks fine, but it would hardly be the first time a record label balked at normal bodies. However, I'd hold back promotion until she agreed to stop committing eyebrow atrocities.

More seriously, though, I can't find any direct evidence that she and her label have parted ways. Her blog post about it says simply they asked for the cuts, she refused to budge, and the video stayed as is.

Some other searching just finds secondary blogs saying she is looking for a new label without pointing to any primary sources.

Having seen Amanda Palmer live several times, i thought she had new song called "Fat Belly" that RR didn't want on her to record. I went that route in my thinking because she isn't what I'd call "fat" in the least. She's not super thin, she's just normal weight size.

Cue Magenta:
I'm fat. You're fat. We're ALL fat!

The bannister's fat! (er, happy!)

I have to agree with this statement, especially the first sentence.
