i appreciate that in Hollywood the shallow nature of the industry puts pressure on it's stars to conform to the skinny ideal........but i ask myself 'who are they kidding'??............these poor girls look ill........
although i know there are a lot of very naturally slim girls........these have clearly lost weight..........

but perhaps i'm a litle out of touch........what i want to know is what you think of this Skelebrity culture.........

Definitely the 'before' pics. They look unhealthy when they are very thin. It's not good. :(

that's what i thought too but i'm aware that fashions change and the Uk view might be different........ :D ..........but these poor girls end up with lollipop syndrome...........where their heads look too big for their bodies...... :shock:

I don't know anyone in the UK who would say those images are good. I know fashion mags are notorious for encouraging such images, but I thought even they were now aware that condoning this kind of look was not a great idea.

Speak to any man......no-one wants a stick to hold. :lol:

All I can say, is that when I'm a celebrity, I will never, ever do that. I don't even know why they do that, I mean its useless. :?
