I am so sick of the gorgeous girls of Holywood ruining their bodies by suddenly becoming anorexic! Somebody stop the madness please!!! Nicole Richie used to be a stunning, busty beauty. Now it looks like she's trying out for Miss Ethiopia. Keira Knightly was perfectly lean and beautiful, now she looks like she only eats one lettuce leaf a week! Lindsay Lohan - well thank God she came to her senses and got rid of that hideous blonde hair and she's filling out more and looking more human. But she's not as hot and busty as she used to be - i.e. see the cover of this month's Bazaar. And this stupid mineral water company wants Kelly Clarkson to lose weight or they won't use her! I hope she has enough sense to refuse those baffoons, she's already perfect! As is Cat McPhee - what is happening to their self esteem?

The only reason these women are so thin, is because of the pressure to be thin. I do not think Kelly Clarkson is fat by any means-but she is told to lose weight. It always cracks me up when I read about a celebrity being told to lose 10 pounds--like that is really going to make a difference. That is why women develop eating disorders--there is no way a naturally thin woman can realistically lose a significant amount of weight unless she starves herself. What really kills me is that men aren't held to the same standard. Obsessing over your weight kills your self esteem. All you think about is--how many calories in that? How long do I have to work out to burn all those calories? I'm all for healthy eating and exercise, but when it becomes all you think about and how you are judged in public, then it isn't ok. These poor girls are killing themselves emotionally and physically. Plus, young girls see these women and think they should be emulating them as well. I know so many girls who aren't even teenagers yet and are on diets. They think they are fat. Why can't people love themselves the way they are? If you are legitimately overweight, then exercise and eat healthy, but don't browbeat yourself if you don't lose that 20 pounds in a week. It is so sad to see Kate Bosworth and Keira Knightly so thin. I read somewhere that some American women in a survey were shown pictures of starving African women. They were asked to comment on the pictures. Several women said they were jealous that the women were so thin. How messed up is that?

Their answer will be low school funding. If you feel there should be such, start donating to schools. I see your point with the pelvis, but both males and femals have 12 ribs. Theoretically speaking, if one sex did have less ribs than the other it would actually make sense for WOMEN to have fewer ribs due to pregnancy. Ask mothers how many times their little ones shoved a foot or an arm into their ribcage while they were pregnant and this becomes quite clear. But, there are far more issues in schools than a male and female skeleton in classrooms. Most don't have either.

I think that it is their problem, I mean what would it change to anyone's lives if any actresses starve themselve to death aside from themselves
I think that the matter is people that are not clever enough to realise that this is not really the way women are in reality and I (as a curvy 130 pounds girl) never actually met a guy or any one who thought that I should loose weight

You know what...it's not just the pressure of Hollywood...it's common AVERAGE sized people too...and their envy of that. I commend Dove for coming out with a campaign with real women!
Paris Hilton actually made a comment recently about how Nicole Richie looked sick cause she was getting too skinny...this coming from a girl who pry weighs 90 lbs soaking wet. It's sad and young girls die all the time as a result. Thanks for speaking up for so many that don't!

ugh, its horrifying. even cameron diaz, like shes still pretty now, but in the mask she was stunning, and her hair looks like straw now.
I see the "skinny as all hell" trend coming through in my younger sister. she weighs 98lbs and is 5'8. shes like a rail. and complains all the time about how "fat" she is.
its portraying a negative image to young girls, in fact ALL women.
