Hollywood: "Honey I Shrunk the Actress"

...and if you don't mind me saying so, not only are these young ladies perpetuating a false and possibly unattainable image for their fans, (I don't totally blame them--obviously there are powerful forces at work here convincing them they'll be more successful and loved if they're all skin and bones) but heck, they look like crap, too.

Oh god, finally, a guy who admires the Au Natural Boobies and Booty girls are given in preparation for child birth. You rule Adam! Linsay, might i say, i used to love your red hair and curvy body so so much(despite your rich brat attitude)!

OMG. Finally a guy who is not afraid to stand up and say toothpicks are not attractive!! LOL
Thank you!
I am so saddened by not just Lindsay but ALL of the other stars who have succumbed to the hype and become next to nothing. My God, when they show me a curvaceous woman before and a scrawny after and tell me she looks awesome I want to puke!!

I was read in last weeks US weekly that hypnosis is getting pretty popular again as a "fad" diet. What's everyone thing of that?

I think she looks great now...im a Lindsay Lohan fan. Im working on getting down to the weight she's at...I used to be her old size and then I saw that I was fat. I didn't think she was fat, or that I was fat until...I saw her losing weight. I know now that people, don't like people, that don't look like that. In order to fit into the social structure of the society you have to be thin to be excepted,loved,wanted,and the list could go on forever. And then once you are thin you are beautiful, and you feel good about yourself and your everything that you wanted to be.Once you are thin then you no longer look at a magazine and wish to be that perfect image because then you are. It's all so very simple and I have been so very blind, I can thank Lohan for showing me.

From the moment I saw her in It Takes Two, I knew she'd grow up to be a real cutie. And now with the weight loss, she's still cute but not liked she used to look with that curvy, sexy body. And that beautiful long red hair. Don't listen to what anyone else says, Lindsay! You were one hot girl. Put the weight back on and return to the red hair!

Puh-leeze lindsay looks sooooooo much hotter now!!!! oh yeah, skinny girls are wot's up. i love them.

I have always been hated by the other females because I had worked to keep my weight and that has always made me look like a teen even when I am turning 30 and have a 5 years old. Nothing is wrong with being a small size. Although some people have gone to the extreme like Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton. I think Linsay looks great but can't lose any more weight. It has to be tought to grow up in that environment were you are critiziced all the time and having the parents she has. Give the pure child a break!

Are you kidding me? Its not okay to lose weight like that. She didn't eat and she did drugs. This i what you people call a role model? Starving yourself to be accepted and loved. You think that because you're skinny people will like you? If all the hot celebrities chose to eat more and become overweight, and that became the trend of hollywood. Would you all do that? Its stupid to follow in such trends... anorexia is a huge issue and its because of people like you that younger girls are already suffering from this disorder.

Wake up... this is what you're on your way to becoming.... http://luartriste.blogs.sapo.pt/arquivo/mummy11.JPG ... is this what you really want?

afew points...firstly, 20% of ppl with ed's die. if you have always been hated by females, is probably not becuase you try to keep your weight down, its because your hateable. not everyone is as shallow as you obviously are. whoever you are who wants to look like lohan now, you must have had an amazing figure if you looked like she did before, i envy you and i hope that you will wake up and realise she looks awful now and has admitted it. im afraid all your problems cant be solved by loosing weight, you will only get alot more. and kinead, you are and idiot. no-one cares "wot's up", and judging by wot you have to say, no-one will care much for your opinion.

well for you who are saying people are shallow because they want to be thin... all that means is that youre probably fat and too lazy to do anything about your obesity like the rest of america. if theyre still alive n obviously eating or else they would have died after the first month of starvation, then whats the big deal. stars like lindsay lohan and nicole richie look hot now. dont go on about eating disorders death low self esteem blah blah blah. youre just mad cause youre fat =)

i think im one of the only people who thinks this but it has to be sed she was always stunning with her red hair and curvy figure, but i think she looks amazing slimmer aswell, i think the bleach blonde hair makes a nice change and makes her facial features stand out. shes gettin to the point wher shes losing too much weight now, but people started slating her ages ago...i think shes stunning. u go diva!

i h8 it when ppl say the word *curves* curves are jus fat n if ya got curves then ya fat same as boobs lmao why do u think most large breasted woman are lk tha cause there prob fat! n if there not fat n they stull got big boobs then they must be saggy cause thats all boobs are is fat really n curves is jus a nice way of saying *fatty* i h8 it when ppl say tha celebs have lost to much weight nicole richie looks great so does paris hilton n lindsey isnt that bad either for god sakes leave the poor girl alone jus cause she wants to look healthy n not fat ur jus jealous of her yea shes done drugs but who gives a damn most teenagers have done drugs for god sake its part of growing up now get over it!!

hey! lindsay looks way better leave the poor gal alone its only the fattys that really make it a big deal anyway! oh yea can anyone tell me what diet pills she is on? i wanna knock off 5-8kg myself xxxxx krysy

omg all u people that are sayin all this stuff bout skinny people bein ugly well..ur wrong. y r there no fat models..coz dresses look nasty on them. and i agree with the person who sed boobs r fat... they are just fatty tissue and they r more likely to go saggy if they're bigger..so fat people need to prepare for the sagginess soon. Lindsay looks lovely and its her choice what size she wants to be nt everyone elses so stop sayin tht u think she looks better "curvier". and just to let u no skinny people arent rectangles so curves are still there they r just nt emphasised by flab on the top to make the fuller.
go to the gym and get off ur fat arses instead of sayin all this stuff bout lindsay she looks gr8 unlike some ppl writin stuff bout fat girls bein better.

gita, I feel sorry for you that the only thing you can find to feel better about yourself is to be thinner than you imagine others. I wish you'd find something to like in yourself that wasn't hinging on a comparison.

jan, theres no need to feel sorry for me im nt anorexic or hav an eating disorder and im nt just sayin tht for the sake of it i eat wat i lyk wen i like it but i dont go overboard...i just think that its better to have a shape than to be a blob..and stories about people not being able to get up from sofas because of their weight are just sad to hear..how can they let themselves get to tht weight without doing something about it. i dnt lyk skin and bone but ppl hav to realise theres a difference between curvy and fat and they shouldnt critise healthy people and defend the overweight and obese..just so u no im happy with my figure :)

o and laura wat r u on about that person obviously has issues and doesnt know the boundaries and needs help thats nt wat celebs will become they have people to guide them and sooner or later they will ditch the stupid diets they're on

Somewhat related to this, I just read an article that was on the MSN homepage about clothing sizes being made even smaller!

Here's the URL, I'm not sure if HTML coding is possible in the comment box.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15319430/site/newsweek/?GT1=8618

gita, I never said you weren't happy with your figure. I just said that I think it is sad that you derive all your happiness and self-worth from your figure and from not being "obese". That is really very little, esp. if you have to compare to "people who can't get off their couches". Imagine if I woke up and all I could think was "well, I have 2 legs, I'm so much better than those one-legged people!".

Courtney, thanks for the link, interesting article. In Brazil, the equivalent to an American size 10 is plus-size. 8 is the last one you can get in some regular stores, 6 is the last one you can find in all the stores. "The women must be tiny!", you must be thinking. No, they are really all just spilling out of their clothes. They just think that if a 6-8 is "Large", that they must wear it regardless of it fitting them.

Ok first of all kate, drugs are not part of growing up. thats a joke! and lindsay did look better before she started losing a lot of weight but she can make up her own mind. women are not supposed to be stick skinny either. they are supposed to be curvy. whoever thinks that how you look decides how much your worth is wrong. Doesn't matter what size your are. your as valuable as any actress.

I don`t think there is a problem with over-sized or under-sized people because their body is really none of my buisness.Who cares if Lindsay Lohan is too small, its not my body and it`s not my buisness.So people get your nose out of other peoples lifes.It has not killed a star yet to be skinny or fat and the more stress we put on them to be a certain size then many emotional problems may occur.JUST STAY IN YOUR OWN BUISNESS.

P.S.I`m not trying to be mean I`m trying to get an idea of what your are doing to these actors and actresses

yea and the highest cause of death in the US is from obesity related diseases. i'd rather die looking good than having someone carve out a hole in my wall to drag my bloated body.

lohan simply went from looking full figured to normal.

yumi, go find a pro-ana site where people will agree that Lindsay Lohan in the first picture is "full-figured". Cause here in the real world, you'll have a hard time finding someone to agree.

I think that it was bad because she lost that weight using drugs and such. I think people should accept all body types, skinny and full-figured!!! I have a small frame and I am happy. I am 5'5 and 106 lbs. I used to weigh about 101 but I was happy then too... So let's just all be more accepting alright?

okay this message is for kate. If you have not noticed yet there are many different cultures and many of those cultures have different body types. African americans have curves same goes for latinos. asians are natrualy thin, and cacasian women well that verys. And if you think that nicole richie and lindsey lohan look healthy then you are clearly just as stupid as they are. You are the reason that poeple feel like they have to be a certain way. Im pretty sure your not perfect. TO some people you could be skinny, fat, ugly, pretty it just depends on there culture.

First of all, learn how to type, spell, speak the English language if you want anyone to take you seriously. I find it funny how most of the people who go on about how amazingly awesome it is to be skinny and anyone who thinks differently is just jealous are the most horrific communicators known to man. What's that about needing a certain amount of calories a day to maintain tissue and organ function, including the brain? Hmmm...ladies and gents, exhibits A-Z. Also, retards, the reason why excessively thin models are used in high fashion is because they lack what? Oh, that's right, because they lack curves. And who lacks curves Men! And who are some of the biggest designers? Gay men! And what do gay men like? MEN! It doesn't take a genius, here, people. Also, if everyone loves skin and bones, why is Playboy still around? Oh, and, uh...about curves just being fat, you're absolutely right. Sorry, twigs, but a ton of men love T and A, something you don't have, but, wait...you're not jealous or mad are you? :)

Oh, and what about drugs being a normal part of growing up? Amazing. Truly amazing. That explains so much about you.

What's your source on the idea that most designers are gay men? Do you have statistics or are you just assuming?

Okay,
to Kate or whatever and the rest of you that think they look healthy, you are obviously blind. Anyone who thinks an anorexic, or underweight person is attractive has issues because it's not. Neither is obesity, but none of the actresses who are now under weight were ever obese, they were beautiful and healthy at one point. Kate, i disagree with you. My friends and i have curves, does that make us fat? No, we're at the weight we're supposed to be at and we are proud of our curves. I'd rather have hips, a chest, and an ass then be flat and boney. I've suffered from anorexia and after getting through recovery, i NEVER want to go down that road again. I'm much happier having meat on my bones and eating :). Food is what keeps us looking and feeling healthy. Lindsey looked so much better when she had her womanly curves, now, she is just too thin and lost those curves. Anyone who thinks being underweight makes you look good, get help because it only makes you look worse.

I have never dated a woman larger than size 8, but I do like curves.Only Asian women in general(not all) can keep curves in the 0-4 dress sizes. Most women of other ethnic backgrounds(and including women of Asian ancestry, born in the US)generally(not all),lose their curves in those dress size ranges.My measurement preference is 32A-38 DD,22"-28", and 34-38".Weight 100-135 lbs.(not more than 10 lbs. above/below normal-prefering normal and over, over under).Height- 4'10"-5'7".Tyra banks at 5'10" is more attractive now at 160 lbs, than when she was 130 lbs. When she says-"Wanna be on top?" on her "Top Model" show, her idea and my idea are differnt in reference to her-my answer is yes.I love straddling my partner's tummy during intimacy and do not care for board-thin tummies.I like the feel of some cushion and also for stroking, rubbing, cuddling, and snuggling.Sorry to those ladies who may feel offended,in advance.I love normal size women over waif-type,female models.Models/actresses of normal size like Cindy Crawford, Lucy Lawless, Jennifer Lopez, Lucy Lui, and many others too numerous to mention, are perfect.There are men of course who do like the waifs, but most are still dating normal size women.

I'm only 17, so i guess i'm not all that experienced with the perception of beauty. But reading through the comments, it seems that we are judging our looks to other females. Why don't we ask the men what they want? My boyfriend prefers me with 'curves' rather than cuddling a stick. I'm asian and used to be a competitive gymnast so i'm kinda thin, size 8/10 by Australian measurements(165cm, 55kg, 10C) - but i see all my friends who are size 6,8,10,12,14 and 16 and i think they're bodies are gorgeous. We all excercise, we all eat well (not as in all salads, but a balanced diet) - it's just your body type. Females naturally have fat for protection and warmth. Of course i agree with the obesity crisis - however self-induced starvation, throwing up or random pills can't be healthy either.
