Everyone is obsessed with weight, we knew that, especially in Hollywood. But, why does everyone comment on celebrities who started out skinny but gained weight? Yet, celebrities who have been ‘fat’ all along are okay and ‘beautiful’ the way they are?
For example, Jessica Simpson, Mischa Barton, and even Penelope Cruz who looked heavier at last weekend’s Oscars, have all been bashed for gaining a few pounds. But, Mo’Nique and Gabourey are okay because they are the way they are! So if you start out big, then you’re fine the way you are, we even call this ‘women power’ while Coco Rocha looses jobs because of her presumed weight gain.
Controversy brewed when rumors hit the web about producers asking Gabby Sidibe to loose weight in order to get more roles, many readers were upset over this, commenting yesterday that she should loose weight for health reasons and not for potential jobs. But, would we praise her if she actually slimmed down? Probably not!
The other side of this is when celebrities loose too much weight and are considered anorexic. So what’s a good medium? Start skinny and stay skinny? Apparently!!!
What do you guys think?
Rebecca does not like biographies. They are stupid and she would rather spend her time editing the site. Which she does with great vigor.
