News About Celebrities & "Celebrities"
Two bits of celebrity news I just had to share. First of all, in a rare instance of fatism against male celebrities, Ryan Gosling reportedly was fired from The Lovely Bones for being too fat. And also annoying. But mostly fat.
A source tells Us Gosling “was fired” because “he just gained too much weight!” A second insider says, “He ate grilled cheese every day.” But pigging out wasnt his only sin. Adds the source: “He drove the hair and wardrobe crew crazy.”
And in the celebrities -who -make -your -eyes -roll -into -the -back -of -your -head -and -you -don’t -want -to -admit -you -watched -their -pinktastic -televised -wedding -but -you -totally -did category, Trista Sutter is obsessed with not only getting back to her pre-pregnancy weight, but getting even thinner than she was before.
“I’m definitely not pleased when I look in the mirror,” says the reality star who is currently wearing a size 4 and weighs 116 pounds. She hopes to surpass her prebaby physique and get down to 106 pounds. “When I fit into my size 26 Hudson jeans, then I’ll be happy…I want to be able to go bathing suit shopping for a vacation and not feel totally disgusted…
If I eat something that I shouldn’t, Ryan shakes his finger at me and says, ‘Uh, uh, uh!’ He’s been awesome, 100 percent supportive. He watches Max when I go to the gym and is constantly saying that I look great. But when you don’t feel good about yourself, you don’t feel like you want to be intimate. I want to feel, and look, sexy again for him. Even though he is being nice and saying he’s still attracted to me, I want to feel like he’s telling me the truth and not just saying it because he’s a good husband.”
Bolding mine. Wow, size 4 and 116 pounds is “disgusting”? And how sad is it that she doesn’t believe her husband is genuinely attracted to her and is just “being nice”? But then with the wagging finger, is it any wonder? Oh, Trista.

Body dysmorphia is the new pink.
If anyone ever wagged a finger at me, I know I’d wag just one finger back at them. Probably followed up with a few choice words.
“If I eat something that I shouldn’t, Ryan shakes his finger at me and says, ‘Uh, uh, uh!’ He’s been awesome, 100 percent supportive.”
I didn’t know the new English word for nagging was “supportive,” but what do I know?
There was a time when I would do anything to weigh 116 pounds. Now, I wouldn’t trade my wonderful husband who never wags a finger at me or my new found self-confidence for all size fours in the world.
Another thought after seeing the magazine cover… Why do they always put these diet-happy women in the most unflattering sweats possible for the cover of a magazine? I mean, I know the reason, of course, which is to show them pre-diet in the most unflattering light possible, but still. Do the mag editors think we’re so totally stupid that we don’t notice these things?
This is so sad. She feels disgusting at that weight? Wow. I thought the same thing as Di..it’s body dysmorphia. It has to be, it makes no sense. And how is she going to get to 106? Wow. I myself don’t date and would never consider having sex so I understand what she’s saying that it’s all in your head, but I AM disgusting and if I weighed 116 I’d be relieved. Why can’t she see that she is perfect? So sad. So sick.
JZ you have opened a can of worms. Why can’t YOU see that you are perfect? NO ONE’s body is “disgusting” whether you are 116 or 516.
“When he wags his finger at me for eating something I shouldn’t, I ask him to shove that finger down my throat for me! And he does! Ryan’s been awesome, 100% supportive.” Just when I think the character of Kelly Kapoor is too over the top, some celebutante opens her mouth and proves me wrong.
If somebody wagged their finger at me, they might not be getting it back, frankly.
God, gross. Why is Trista being given a platform to spread her eating disorder all over America?
The sad thing is, 106 pounds (yikes) or not, she will probably never be happy with her body again. I mean, this is beside the point (because clearly this is about disordered eating and body image, especially since she wants to get even SMALLER than she was pre-pregnancy), but she has had a baby. She is not going to be shaped exactly like she used to be ever again.
Not to mention (I mean, again beside the point, but still), if she is so “disgusted” with her (really thin) current body that she pulls away from her husband, it’s going to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. If he tells her a million times that she looks great and a million times she doesn’t believe him and argues that she doesn’t because she thinks he’s only “being nice” as she said in the article, eventually he’s going to stop telling her she looks great, because who wants to have their compliments and kind words rejected all the time? She needs to see that her own poor body image is capable of doing much more damage to their relationship than 10 stupid pounds that he probably doesn’t give a single crap about.
Though maybe he’s not 100% blameless considering that horrible finger-wagging thing.
Oh, and on a petty note, she’s sticking her stomach out in those shapeless sweats. You can tell by the arch of her back that she really has to force it in order to make it look like she has a tummy at all. And what do you want to bet her hair will be blonde in the after pics?
The even sadder thing is, the entire thing is probably orchestrated to keep her in the gossip columns.
This whole thing is just creepy and depressing. I noted that Hunter Tylo is also on the cover of that issue. It’s a fitting inclusion because I once read an interview with her where she was supposedly fired from a television show for getting pregnant, and her argument wasn’t “you should fire people for getting pregnant, that’s bullshit” but rather “I was 9 months pregnant and you couldn’t even tell! I was NOT fat!” Everyone is so messed up these days.
that should be “shouldn’t fire people for getting pregnant,” otherwise it doesn’t make much sense… :)
Can we label this another manifestation of the New Patriarchy? It seems that when internalized oppression has reached this level, finger-wagging men are not even necessary for its perpetuation.
Not to defend Ryan – because he kind of annoys me – but if Trista eats an extra Triscuit (heh) in front of him and he doesn’t finger-wag, he very well might be subject to a screaming “WHY DIDN’T YOU STOP ME FROM EATING THAT TRISCUIT” temper tantrum. The finger-wagging just might be a form of self-preservation and avoidance of the tantrum.
Or maybe I just made up that whole scenario in my head. One or the other.
