oh.em.freekin.gee... it is such a shame at what all these celebrities go through to be thin. not only thin but they basically try to be perfect...but they aren.t taking thee smart route....they all want it quick and super-fast (ie: surgery, pill , and potions) this is definfitely not thee way to go about these kind of things. but if you notice a lot of new up and coming celebrites are a little bit "curvier" but they don.t get as much attention as thee skinny ones do. i totally think that is unfair to a lot of people. it.s one thing to be overweight and unhealthy but if you are a little bit on the "curvy" side but you are healthy and it.s not a serious risk of diseases or anything like that then you should be fine.....it.s not a crime to be big.......

I don't think thats necessarily true. If media really made it seem like everyone absolutely MUST be thin, I don't think obesity in this country would such a big deal. What I do agree on is that media makes it seem that only thin, modelesc figures are attractive. There is so much more to people than just appearances, and thats all media really focuses on. Its like personality doesn't matter anyomre, I think personalities are much more captivating than appearances. Maybe thats just another challenge we have to face. . .

well not many people look for personality any more, now it's just about looks. I'm a male so I know what I'm talking about when I say that all guys look for is a good time, and a hot body to go along with it.

There are just some thing that will change and then there are things that can't change and pretty sure this is one of the things that won't change

as long as celebritties are Idolized people are always going to try to look like them.

I think that celebrities are paid to look a certain way. They are paid to entertain us not to be role models. I think that people need to realize what is reality and what is hollywood. Also the picture of the big Catherine does not look very healthy, one thing is being a healthy looking women and the other is being obese and unhealthy.
