Skinny Women in Hollywood

The reason I posted these two pictures of the current It-girl Lindsay Lohan is that I am getting sick of Hollywood actresses starving themselves. She looks great in that Tonight Show pic but she looks as bad as I have ever seen her in that other pic.

I read recently in In-Touch magazine that she is getting stressed out from doing so much she doesn't have time to eat at all. They even had some kind of publicity event that had her and Nicole Richie eating some sort of cake in front of the hovering eyes of the paparazzi. It seemed like an event to say "I can actually eat cake!" It was a sad, sorry spectacle.

I have seen a million different things about eating disorders in Hollywood with people even dying of various things but nothing is done about it. The only unforgivable crime in Hollywood is to be fat. As soon as someone puts on a few pounds the tabloids (the same ones that blasted Lohan for being skinny) jump all over the star until they get their waistlines down.

I guess this is part of the whole get back at the stars mentality that some of the public has. We love to see the beautiful millionaires brought down to earth and humbled. So when they put on a few pounds (like the vast majority of Americans) we need to fix them and force them to be thin. If their too thin then we need to come down on them too. That's the price they need to pay us to be "stars."

It sucks though that a fresh-faced 18 year old like Lohan has to endure this kind of rat race to be thin. It seemed that she was beyond this kind of thing because she has always been normal sized in the past. Now she has joined the ranks of the sickly sticks. Oh well, another bit of meat ground down by the "star machine."
