Jillian Michaels Sexy GoDaddy Commerical: An Opposing View

"For people who have a problem with it, honestly, get a life," Michaels tells The Hollywood Reporter. "There's so many things you can be worrying about. A Super Bowl spot is not one of them."   Actually there are three commercials airing during the Super Bowl starring Michaels and Go Daddy regular Danica Patrick. The Internet domain registrar is famous for its racy advertisements, that some argue objectify women.    Michaels insists the three spots are "very respectful of me and Danica. It's okay to be sexy. It's okay to have fun. It's okay to be racy."   "I don't think the spots are in any way distasteful," Michaels adds. "I think the perception is Go Daddy objectifies women. But the reality is Go Daddy takes strong women and allows us to be sexy and feminine. And yet still powerful."   Michaels refused to give details about the ads except to say that one in particular -- "The Contract" is meant to be played for supreme humor.   She also pointed out that even in the raciest of the three ads -- "I have more on in the Go Daddy spot than I do my own exercise DVDs."   "People love to bitch and complain about something," she says.

Are Jillian's GoDaddy Super Bowl Commercials Sexist?

Today, Deborah Dunham weighed in on Jillian Michaels new GoDaddy commercial at BlissTree;

...Danica Patrick and Michaels who are shown painting the naked body of a model while talking about the supposed benefits of a dot-CO domain–benefits that seemingly exploit and sexualize a woman’s body.

Michaels defends the racy ad by telling USA Today:

Trusting Our Success:An Inside Look at Jillian Michaels' Empire

What does it take before we can truly believe in our success - trust that it is real?  How much do we need before we can finally relax and feel as thought we're safe?   Finally, the trajectory of Jillian's company has allowed her to believe that none of it will be going away anytime soon.

During a recent interview with Forbes, Jillian Michaels and her business pulled back the curtain, and gave us a rare glimpse into the pressures and challenges behind their flourishing company.   They openly admitted to making some mistakes along the way, and with surprising candor referenced Jillian's recent stint on the Doctors as one of them.  Although grateful for the opportunity, they said that they were rushed into a contract without an opportunity to adequately flush out the details - details that included what exactly Jillian would be expected to do.  And clearly, what came to pass was not exactly what she and GC had had in mind.

"Sex sells on the internet" New Jillian Michaels GoDaddy Commercial

Or so Bob Parsons says.   

Jillian Michaels and Danica Patrick will soon be seen body painting a nude supermodel to promote GoDaddy.Com on a tv.  The new commercial will be aired during the Superbowl and is expected to receive over 100 million viewers.   Per Bob Parsons, "Sex sells on the internet".

Does "The Biggest Loser" need Jillian Michaels to survive?

The amazing, talented writer, Jen Wielgus, of the PhillyBurbs.com weighs-in:   ;0)

"Ever since the ladies at my gym found out I have a "Biggest Loser" blog, they've been tuning in to the show on Tuesday nights. The No. 1 comment I hear from them is (I'm paraphrasing): "Oh my God, Dolvett!" And then, they stand there slack-jawed, which I take to mean they like looking at him.  So it's funny to see this Reuters story, floating the possibility of Jillian Michaels returning to the ranch. Since she's off The Doctors,....   To continue reading, click here.

What do you think?  Does the Biggest Loser need Jillian to survive?

Jillian Michaels is "off" the Doctors?

Michael Starr of the NYPost writes on 11am, January 4, 2012 exclusive that "Jillian Michaels is out as a co-host of “The Doctors” after half a season on the hit syndicated daytime show." He cites inside information that they felt she  “wasn’t a good fit."  He goes on to write, (although I can't find the source): 

“Jillian has contributed greatly to our show this season, and we value her talent and insight as she has inspired countless people to improve their lives,” the show said in a statement. “Although it wasn’t the fit we both hoped for . . . Jillian will always be a part of ‘The Doctors’ family.”

and says Jillian responded,  “I have enjoyed my time on the show and the opportunity it provided me in my mission to help others improve their lives."

Thus far, Jillian has not referenced this article and made mention of a departure on her personal Twitter or Facebook pages.

Weird.

So, do you think she'll pop back up in the new season of Biggest Loser?  Per Kimberly Potts at "The Wrap", Jillian's camp says, "We never say never" on Wednesday...


Hmmmmmm. Interrresting, no?!
