Fat Fetishists On Tyra

October 27th, 2009

I’m pretty much just lifting this post wholesale from Jezebel: Men Who Are Obsessed With Obese Women. On today’s episode, Tyra interviewed men who are “obsessed” with obese women. However, it seemed a lot more like a fetish than an obsession. One guest, Scott has been attracted to 400-pound women ever since he was a […]

Weight Gain On America's Next Top Model

April 17th, 2009

I finally got around to watching this week’s episode of America’s Next Top Model, where contestant London Levi was eliminated. Her “shocking weight gain” of 10-15 pounds was first introduced last week, when Paulina Poritzkova told her she was wearing “unflattering” shorts, and the camera zoomed in on her thighs. This week, she cried about […]

Celebrity Fatwatch: Eyeroll Edition

June 10th, 2008

Has there been more uproar lately about celebrities gaining and losing weight, or have I just noticed it more? Three posts I ran across today in quick succession: 1. “Carnie Wilson’s War” (with video from the Tyra Banks show, of course) is Carnie’s battle with her weight after her highly publicized weight loss surgery. 2.

Celebrity Fatwatch: J. Love, Tyra

December 10th, 2007

So, this whole Jennifer Love Hewitt brouhaha has been going on, and now Janice Dickinson, who is crazy, has decided she’s going to defend J. Love by calling Tyra Banks fat (again)! When shown J.Love’s bikini pics on The Today Show, the world’s first self-proclaimed supermodel had this to say: “Jennifer Love Hewitt is a […]

That's Weightertainment

October 30th, 2007

What do Oprah, Britney Spears, and Kirstie Alley have in common? They’re all part of the phenomenon that one writer calls weightertainment: our obsession with how much people weigh or don’t weigh. She blames Oprah for starting the trend, and posits that the best way for a celebrity to gain attention these days is to […]

"I Take It Back, I Was Totally Fat"

May 24th, 2007

Remember how Tyra was all “I’m not fat, so kiss my fat ass” blah blah blah? She immediately turned around and lost 30 pounds. Banks insisted the shots of her in a bikini during a winter break were just taken from a bad angle as she launched a ‘So what’ campaign on her TV show […]

Real Women

April 12th, 2007

Both The Rotund and Elastic Waist are out to remind us of one very important fact: thin people are not the enemy. First up, The Rotund: “And so you get people who describe models in truly awful terms. You get people who throw around the slogan ‘Real women have curves!’ as if thin women aren’t […]
