Bobble Heads Abound

Another A-lister, Another Eating Disorder

Oh I know she is naturally thin! While every other new mother in America struggles to lose the baby weight, these celebs just can't gain...sure. This pic is not retouched. The women looks in dire need of a hot meal. Frankly, I see a person who wants to save the world and I wonder if she can save herself.

Yesterday it was all over the news that Nicole Ritchie got a DUI. Never mind that she was high and drunk and driving down the wrong side of the street, the real highlight of the story was her 85lb weight at the time of her booking. This is an adult female. How terribly sad. Her life is unmanageable as an direct result of her eating disorder and substance abuse which enables the starving and it all goes around and around.

The social acceptance of this kind of appearance needs to stop. It has nothing to do with beauty or fitness. I'm not saying celebs should be ridiculed for their problems but they make their living off the the public. I have my own struggles with food and I won't allow the starvation look to be passed off on me as healthy or beautiful because it's no more appealing than excess weight.

I have an 11 year old niece, who is beginning to buy into that whole "thin is in" crap. She is freaking 11 and thinks she's fat (she is not).

Why OH WHY do we celebrate these anorexic twigs?

Who in the hell wants to emulate Nicole Richie for Christ's sake?

Damn, remember when Liz Taylor and Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren were considered hot? Today they'd be told they were fat!

Disgusting.

Angelina's lips are the fattest thing on her. I'm sorry but she is misshapen due to her thinness. It's not attractive and little girls do get these messages. Hell, so do adults! Not me though, I'm not buying into it.
