I have been wanting to cyber-vent about this topic for a long time. For the media to criticize celebrity "weight gain" ON A REGULAR BASIS is completely disgusting. I have read blogs that tore Mischa Barton apart for eating IN PUBLIC because they say she is fat. Yes people, they say Mischa should not be allowed to publicly offend us by having a meal on a patio, in Los Angeles, on a sunny day. I have to remind you that these stars are always smaller then they seem in pictures, or movies or on tv. They are always skinnier, more wee and shorter. Mischa went from being scary skinny (during the OC) to completely healthy and average. But that is not good enough. So when girls like me, log on to online blogs like that, read articles such as those that tell me Mischa is fat, I think to myself, WTF AM I? Have I been guilty of commenting on a stars' weight gain? Yes. Have I ever felt a guilty-pleasure in knowing they are not immune to fat? Yes. Because sometimes I feel as though they are supposed to be perfect. And when they are not, it makes them real again.
But you see how this works? It's dangerous, and I hate it but Hollywood has accepted this in itself and I've come to accept Hollywood for it because it will not change. Hollywood may say that it will, but it still does not pick girls for roles if they don't fit into wardrobe. I have actor friends, and I've come to hear about this. The changing Hollywood is a fable for modern times. A myth. It's very existence relies on fantasy and making the general public admire people more beautiful then they are. We know this, the media knows this and the stars know it. The fact that the MAJORITY of those starlets exist on the Victoria Beckham diet (i.e. nothing and water) and are extremely unhealthy matters less then having more muscle and a little bit more fat??? UGH
Jessica Simpson is not one to evade such criticism. I will not post the infamous chilli-fair-mom-jeans, because they were terrible. Jessica looked terrible in them but not because she is fat, but because she cannot dress herself. No, Jess is not in daisy-duke shape (she was pin-thin and ate twigs) but she is considerably smaller then so. many. people.
Look at the picture above, Jess does not know how to dress her body. That is the main issue. I look and pose the same way in pictures when I'm wearing something that isn't flattering and makes me uncomfortable. I put my hands on my hips, suck in and walk around like that all night wishing I wore pants and a loose fitting top. And I don't understand her because she's got a nice rack and toned legs and instead, wears dresses that make her shoulders look boxy (cause they are, and she ends up looking like a rugby player) and knee long dresses that don't show off her best assets. Jess doesn't need a diet, she needs a stylist. or to get some taste, either one will do.
