1. Kirstie Alley’s new “weight loss program” is probably based on lies, according to the ever-reliable National Enquirer. (Hey, they were right about John Edwards.) (Note: the article uses slightly fat-phobic language.) [Alley] recently bragged on her Twitter site that she’s lost 50 pounds with exercise and her Organic Liaison weight-loss program. But those close […]

We all know that I love Kate Winslet. I also happen to love Kate and Leo (BFF!), and I am so excited to see Revolutionary Road, even though I’m sure the movie won’t be as good as the book but WHATEVER, it has Kate and Leo. (My husband’s comment upon seeing the trailer was, “This […]

I am far too distracted by the election today to make a coherent post out of this Kate Winslet is-it-or-isn’t-it-photoshopped spread in Vanity Fair. All I have to say is that Kate Winslet is my girlfriend, and if you’re American, I hope you’re rocking the vote today. (And I just saw this Kate Winslet post […]

In the world of celebrities, the phrase “full figured” is applied to such women as Jennifer Lopez, Kate Winslet, and America Ferrera—a category of women who I’ve always viewed as “Hollywood fat.” The women who are called “full figured” are often treated as overweight by the media; we’ve seen it time and again. The problem […]

Ezinearticles.com just made a list of the “Top 40 BBWs of all time.” Sounds good, right? Sure, until you get to the list, and you realize that some of the women on it are not all what most people would consider “BBW”s. Mo’nique, Camryn Manheim, Mama Cass, Rosie O’Donnell… sure. But Jamie Lee Curtis? Sophia […]

jennifer hudson ad Originally uploaded by mo pie I saw this ad in this week’s Entertainment Weekly; it’s the first Jennifer Hudson for Avon ad that I’ve seen so far. And I was quite struck by the “sex sells” marketing. Not only is it an obviously sexy shot of J. Hud, the perfume is named […]

I should rename this blog “Kate Winslet Is Awesome” because I never miss an opportunity to point out that she is awesome. The latest is that she has refused to be airbrushed in her new ads for Lancôme. [She] only accepted the modelling gig if the company promised not to airbrush her for the poster […]

A British survey compresses every despairing idea I have about women and their weight into one succinct set of results. “Almost all women think that size 12 is fat… Six out of ten also think that the size zero look is attractive… This comes on the same day that Donatella Versace announced her daughter, Allegra, […]
