Carbs Vs. Pop Stars: The Battle Continues
This week, photos of Jessica Simpson at a Florida concert
surfaced, and guess what? Well, you already know what: She's not as tiny and uber-fit as she was in her Dukes Of Hazzard days. Tracking a
celebrity's weight ups and downs used to be the provenance of the supermarket
tabloids, as Delta Burke and Kristie Alley know, but through the twin miracles of
the Internet and the celebrity weekly magazines, now everyone is in on the
act, and the whole nation is debating burning questions like: Is Jessica too
big? Is Lindsay too thin? And do those kind of high-waisted jeans look
good on anyone? (That one's simple:
No!)
Like Denise Richards says, it's complicated. Janet Jackson and Jennifer Love Hewitt have both been the targets of ridiculously inappropriate attention surrounding their weight. They've also then both gone on diet and fitness programs that would seem demanding to your average professional athlete and then shared the secrets of their workout plans with the same celebrity weeklies that focused all that inappropriate attention on them in the first place.
Needless to say, this is not the kind of attention that
has followed Alec Baldwin through his
career as he progressed from hunky leading man to burly funniest guy on television. And while physical fitness
has become more of an acting requirement for men as time goes on (Zac Efron,
call your trainer!), let's all
admit that this just isn't fair. The
demands of celebrity culture preclude any female celebrity from ever eating a cookie.
And cookies are our right as human beings. Cookies are what separate us from
the animals!
So, let's all have a cookie. This one's for you, Lindsay!


it actually makes a nice change to have someone in the public eye that's got some meat on them than having the perfect image shoved in our faces every time we walk down the street or open up a magazine
She has on 90's "mom jeans" that are too high rise - she has a short waist- and a gigantic belt. This is a look for someone that is 5'7", very skinny with no figure or shape - just a coathanger. That way the belt would not look to big.
The bra or lack of one is making her breasts look saggy.
She has gained some weight but she's not fat....she's just not ultra skinny. So deal with it! People that enjoy life and eat and are enjoying their relationship. Gosh...Hollywood people sure are mean to their own people!
But she's normal. Everyone else is practically a twig.
gained weight, i mean she can loose
it if she wants its not that big of
a deal, people are trippin these
days just cause a huge pop star
gained weight BIG DEAL. and shes gorgeous in a way so its retarded how theyre gonna do that to her.
dont hate on her
people whow said she is fat sould look in there asses first.
anyway monkes only look other people's ass!
