I really think they should all just be honest about it. Maybe then we wouldn't have so many preteen girls hating themselves for not being able to eat a gallon of Ben & Jerry's a day and still look like a praying mantis.They're not normal. Normal doesn't net you millions of dollars a year, unfortunately. It's sort of annoying that they want to be fabulous AND normal. Sorry, you only get one. :-)V. Amen. :-)

Just think how many pictures there are of celebs out running or leaving the gym and stuff. How many more celebrities do this in their own house (where they have state of the art gyms anyway?) There are many more pictures of celebs outside exercising than there are of them eating.

I think there would be a 98% drop in skinnyskinny actresses (and likely a 75% drop in over-muscled super-low-body-fat actors).One more thing - my partner told me recently that someone did a study where they gave men pictures of women sized 0 through 10. The men were most attracted to the size 8 and 10 women. Not that anyone should be doing anything just because it's what men like, and there was the obvious problem of cutting off the women at size 10, but it makes ya wonder...where is the obsession with thin coming from??

I agree with The Bag Lady - the media and news stations only want ratings now, and that leads me to not believe anything anymore. Everyone has brought up excellent points!

It's all lies and fabrications?! *Gasp* The Bag Lady is shocked and saddened by this news. Now she remembers why she doesn't keep up with the celebrity news anymore. And she agrees whole-heartedly with Missicat regarding the trash they try to pass off as news nowadays. Sheesh. The Bag Lady is old enough to remember when the newscasters were old guys who read the news in deep, portentous voices, imparting the seriousness of the situation, whatever it was. None of this bullshit about who so-and-so is boinking. That's not news - that's gossip. The television stations are all about ratings anymore. What?! It’s all lies and fabrications?! *Gasp*
