who is the MEDIA, to tell what girls/guys are supposed to look like? I think everyone should be healthy and happy...and they should NOT look at other girls/guys who are thin, and wish to be like them because God created us all with our own shapes, colours and sizes. if everyone were to look like tall skinny anorexics, then we might as well paint ourselves green and call ourselves aliens, since that's what most anorexics look like. If more anorexics were told the truth about what they look like, i think there'd be less of them. People in africa kill for food, people in North America starve themselves. People should stop letting the media think for them and start thinking for themselves...and yes celebs have become too thin !!!

Many stars have confessed to following brutal diet plans or just plain starving themselves. Gwen Stefani has said of prepping for a Vogue cover shoot, "I feel like if I don't eat, I might lose one more pound. But I'm starving...I have to stop myself from eating."
Not eating is becoming standard behavior for actresses and singers, especially when an awards show, cover shoot or coveted role comes into play. Kate Winslet has said that before her nude scene in All The Kings Men, "I starved myself for a week because I was completely paranoid about the whole thing!"
Beyonce has said of dropping 20 pounds for Dreamgirls on the Master Cleanse diet, "It was so difficult. I was starving for six months."
Elizabeth Hurley has said her diet plan before a bikini shoot "meant going to bed quite hungry and crying."

Some celebs are way too skinny yeah. And the worst thing is that unfortunately its become like a trend nowadays, and normal girls think that is "to be pretty" and want to be like them = more sick girls.
There's no need to be a bag of bones, 1- cos its NOT healthy 2- cos its NOT attractive. You can be slim and look good, thats normal, no need to struggle to become in a scary walking skeleton.
I think its wrong to do these things to themselfs.
Be beautiful the way you are.
You dont need to harm yourself in that condition. Its disevning and disturbing to most. It isnt beautiful at all to me. The media has made these things happen. Im disturbed by these results in what these women are now then what they use to be.
YAH!!! THEY ARE TOO WAY SKINNY ESPECIALLY ANGELINA JOLIE, SHE IS SO UGLY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY STUPID AMERICANS LOVE THE AJ WHEN ALL SHE DOES IS USE HER "MOTHER FIGURE" AND ADOPTING KIDS" TO MAKE MONEY AND BE FAMOUS.I DONT THINK ITS RIGHT TO STARVE YOUR SELF JUST TO LOOK GOOD THE NEXT DAY. LIKE THERES PLENTY OF WAYS YOU CAND DO TO TAKE WEIGHT OFF AFTER YOU EAT A MEAL OR TWO.
Some are too skinny! Its so gross. But to them that is they way they want to look and it does look natural with some of their body types so some actresses might look too skinny but they really aren't. And sometimes thats how they have to look for their job. But I still think it is gross.
i think this is really grosee. prople shouldnt feel that they need to starve themselfs to look good. not even celebs. people need to get over the fact that they are not a size two and move on. use the way you look to YOUr advantage and no criticize every curve you have. its not the end of the world if your not a siize two, buy clothes that look good on you. if you think your beautiful then others will to.
i dont think these women are "too thin" they are basically just thin. and most of u clearly have forgotten what thin looks like because most americans are fat if not morbidly obese, i really dont see too many thin people walking around anymore and wen i do they definately stick out like a sore thumb in a sea of fatties, and people look at them funny simply because ther thin..i mean god forbid someone not be a fat a$$! america is the fattest country of all, we eat like fu*kin pigs and then have the audacity to criticize a skinny person on ther weight and call them anorexic!? i mean people should really look in the mirror before opening ther mouths about other peoples weight. i think being thin these days is such a rarity in our society that subconciously we think everyone should be atleast slighty overweight therfore wen we see a thin person we immediatley think thers something wrong with THEM.. and its really the other way around.
and another thing, im sure most of u people posting this sh!t are overweight, just because u hide behind ur computer in the privacy of ur house dosnt change this fact.. its funny how u are so quick to judge these women and say thers something wrong with them, when if given the chance to be just as thin as them you know and and i know youd fu*kin jump on it! no questions asked.. then youd be happy as a kid in a candy store, go outside and strut ur stuff and people would be saying the same things about u as u are saying about these women right now! "oh ur too thin" "gain some weight" blah blah blah and u know why? its not because ur too thin, its becuz ur just thin and subconsiously those people are jealous of u..because they are fat. and they are always going to put u down because u have what they (secretly) desire.. wat we ALL secretly desire. fat people will ALWAYS call skinny people "too thin" weather its true or not.
its a big fu*kin jelous insecure cycle that will never end.
yes i think they r and there is more then just the ones we see in the magazine and its bullsh*t and it doesn't matter what u look like but that is just to skinny i think its the people they work 4 i also think the people who does the runways thing the modoles r also to skinny !!! i'll stop b/c's i will go off if i don't so trust me i have a lot to say about eveything thta goes on with ya'll and the celebs too !!! like what the hell is wrong with ya'll if the celebs do drugs and drive drink put there bleep in jail like a nonceleb ya'll do give them seacial treatment just b/c's they r celebs and that is wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actresses have always fretted about their weights, women in general, have always wanted different bodies than that with which they were born. Anyone remember Audrey Hepburn, Twiggy, Edie Sedgewick? All very thin. As long as we take interest in what their bodies look like, so will they.
they are but they aren`t because thats how they want to look so let them be, they like how they feel so there ok but allways need alittle of help some times.
It's sad, but celebrities have to be super thin or super toned. What's more sad, is that young girls and boys all over the world are influenced by these images and looked down upon. Society expects celebrities to have 'flawless' bodies. Look at Cher or Demi Moore-they are as plastic as Michael Jackson, and people are stupid enough to say they look good for their age. People accept dis-eases like cancer, but another, just as deadly dis-ease is Anorexia. It's just as real, but apparently fashionable for Hollywood. Shame on society for putting so much energy and focus into this as a strength for some people and black listing others for this as their weakness. People are f**ked
cheese burger.
Reality check! We are all made with different body types. Jessica Alba is not way too skinny. She's a thin girl. For her it would be unhealthy to be bigger; she has a small frame. Beyonce has a curvy frame, it would be unhealthy for her to be thin in the way Jessica is. Enough of this criticizing everyone. It doesn't do any good to call people too skinny either. Over eating is an eating disorder too. And plastic surgery to add curves happens as well. We shouldn't just be encouraging girls to appreciate their curves. We should be teaching them to appreciate themselves just the way they are. Whether that be thin or athletic or plus size or whatever.
There really are people who can eat whatever they want and not gain weight. This doesn't mean they eat absolute crap all the time. It means they can eat what they want, when they want and don't think about dieting ever. I know because I am one of those people. I'm not proud of it, it's just a reality. But I would never want young girls to think I get this way because I don't eat. It's horribly irresponsible to say that. Everyone should just give their body what it wants all the time. And work out. Whatever you look like after that is exactly what you should be. It is your healthy weight, and it's different for everyone.
I see cranky Stacie is back in full effect.
4:16 - Your opinion is exactly the reason why young girls today have the self esteem and weight issues that they do. I truly hope you never have a girl or you will end up sending her to an early grave due to anorexia. You are a pathetic human being. If I can even call you that....
parents! take the computers, dvd players, video games and tv's away from the poor impressionable children. you are old enough to realize what you are doing to their developing minds, at this tender age! oh and the trash tabloids, which they seem to think is the truth. you are making today's tweens sound immature and pathetic. and by most of the comments from today's blog, i see a lot of tweens adding comments, when they should be outside or doing homework! shame on you parents!
They're doing this to themselves...if they werent setting such ridiculous standards, then they wouldnt feel the immense pressure to reach these lows. What a terrible example for young girls! It would be nice if one of these artists would get the balls to say enough is enough...I'm sure many others would follow them.
you think jessica alba looks normal? are you sure you aren't confusing her with jessica biel or maybe even jessica simpson? biel has great muscle tone and simpson curves... alba is way too skinny!
The only one of the bunch who looks healthy is Jessica Alba, and poor Angelina, she's lost her mother and I think that it's obvious that's why she's lost weight. She looked stunning before and she still looks great, but I just think she'll look even better once she starts getting back to a healthier lifestyle. It's going to take time for her to heal somewhat at the loss of her mom but I think she appears to be a very resilient woman. As for the other two, they look very sinewy (in a bad way). No one's saying they all gain 60 lbs, but I think a 10 lb. gain wouldn't hurt any of them.
Stacie fatty wished she could drop half a ton to fit into a size 12 that is 'normal'. A woman shouldn't be more than double digits when it comes to clothes sizes.
Julia was walking down Michigan Ave. in Chicago and I didn't even recogzize her. She was so slight and thin, shorter than I expected, and truly not even slightly attractive. She had no make up on, a baseball cap, and was walking a chocolate lab with her now husband (they were dating at the time). Her cheeks and eyes looked very sunken. She really did not catch many people's attention, that's how different she looked in person from the screen.
How are they sexy when it's nothing but skin over bones to look at?
The main problem doesn't lie in whether these actresses are too thin but rather in the public perseption that this is normal. Look at the majority of actresses today and you will see that none of them resemble anything close to the "average" woman. That's sad. there was a time when the bodies of say Marilyn Monroe were worshipped and found sexy. Now...they say they're fat. Marilyn was a size 12 and that to me is more of a normal body. An actress is only as good as she will appear on film. If the world could change the opinion of women's bodies, more of them would actually look healthy. But most people don't want the truth...they want to hear anything but.
AINJ- You're absolutley right! I forgot that the camera does add about 10 to 15 pounds & after that they still look very frail & thin. Wow @ seeing julia in person!
The scariest thing is that the camera does add weight, about 15 lbs. How many of you have seen a picture of yourself and thought, "gosh, I didn't know I looked so heavy?" That's what a camera does. Imagine what these women (girls) look like in real life. I've seen Julia Roberts in person at her thinnest and she looked like a concentration camp survivor and Kate and Kiera are far thinner. I don't think that fat is the answer but these women obviously have problems.
Keira Knightley is the one who looks scary thin. She needs to increase her calories and eat healthy foods. If she doesn't then eventually her organs will fail & she will die. Wonder if the effects of being too thin are the same for people who are overweight. I was overweight and the wake up call was seeing my picture. I lowered my calories to 1200 a day and i lost 82 pounds in one year that's 1 to 2 pounds a week. I feel blessed I look at food differently but these girls are just sick to not want to eat. I ate 6 small meals a day and i lost weight.

What a pitiful bunch ... harping on Angelina Jolie as if you tools have intimate knowledge of her outside of the public eye. Jealousy is such a wasteful emotion! Don't you have more important things in your life to get so indignant over?
