Who can blame girls and women for obsessing over the shape of their bodies? Just take a gander at three of the weight-related news stories from the past week that I’ve listed below.
Kate Beckinsale eats dessert (probably a poached pear…) This article by Popeater is an interview with Beckinsale who claims that she no longer starves herself. […]

As I was indulging in this piece of drivel about the new 90210 starlets’ shrinking bodies, I was again struck by the realization that I have no idea what’s thin, what’s fat and what’s normal anymore.
I look in the mirror one day and say, “Okay, I look pretty healthy.” The next day, I can barely […]

I’m no Britney Spears fan. No way, no how. Just the thought of how she’s acted as a mom (or, rather, hasn’t acted) curdles my blood.
But I’m feeling a little sorry for the lass-of-few-undergarments today.

In a rather unsurprising announcement, Ashlee Simpson has admited that she ONCE had an eating disorder.
That’s once upon a time, people.
Long time ago.
Way long.
She doesn’t have it now.
Of course.
See, no celeb wants to admit to HAVING an eating disorder. Sure, they are more-than-happy to be seen as gals and guys who overcame anorexia, bulimia, EDNOS, you name […]
