Jessica Simpson has posted a video of herself on Twitter doing ear candling--a method of drawing out ear wax suggested by her stylist, Ken Paves. It doesn't look fun.
"Who gives this kind of candle for a christmas gift?" she tweeted.
Ear candling is widely regarded as a quack practice, as the residue it leaves is wax from the candle, not the ear. It can also be dangerous if the hot wax drips into the ear and burns the eardrum. (Source)
You know, most people would normally go after ear wax with a Q-Tip or a tissue or something, but only Jessica would go in there with something flammable. But whatever, I actually thought it was hysterically funny, and Jessica seems to be a good sport about it, so kudos to her on that one. Oh my God, I just said something nice about Jessica Simpson. What the frak?
Hey uh, Ear Candles. Never expected them to work as well as they have for me. I would honestly recommend them. You should probably listen to me because I'm an astronaut.
