Skinny VS Curvy

Elisha Cuthbert Makes a Pretty Bride… on the set of her new movie, that is.

And, from what we can see (arms, face, upper body), Elisa seems to be part of the (minority) group of celebs that have a BMI over 20.

Here’s one of the skinny 90210’s stars, Shenae Grimes who was recently advised to add a little more meat to her small figure.

We’ve seen Shenae looking very skinny at recent events (click here to see), yet I’m not spotting the scary skinny, unhealthy figure on this occasion. Tiny, yes. Petite, yes. Small body frame, yes. Thin / skinny, yes, yet not overly so.

And in case you’re wondering about Shenae’s weight, various sources say that she’s around 95 pounds (at 5′2”) - which determines a BMI of 17.4 - underweight, but quite common at age 18.

What do you say?

This will be a fun read… Kim Kardashian recently posted on her blog a ton of information about her weight, size and body measurements. What did she have to say?

I am a size 27 jeans… My measurements are 34, 26, 39. But remember I am 5′2″ and 1/2 and everyone carries their weight in different places.

My body frame is small, but since I have curves, many people assume I am bigger and wear a bigger size in jeans. This is simply not the case! The misconception carries over to my weight, too. I am right under 120 lbs, but a lot of people have been shocked to hear that and have accused me of lying! Haha. (…)

I was clear to state that everyone carries their weight differently. I have very skinny chicken legs, so my jeans need to be a smaller size to fit my legs. I have a tiny waist, which is smaller than a size 27 so i always need to have the waist tailored.I also wear stretch jeans, because my booty just gets flattened in any jean that has no stretch and just doesn’t fit into non stretch jeans. I usually wear Serfonatine or JBrand, those fit the best! In those certain brands, on a good day I even fit into a size 26! I am a lot smaller than I look in pictures or on TV and that’s the first thing people say when they meet me! When I first started doing photo shoots, stylists would bring me a size 6 or 8, and they had to come back with 2’s and 4’s. I am only 117 lbs! 
I am really sick and tired of people being so mean and nasty and assume I am lying. Why should it upset people that I am a size 27? Kourtney is a size 23 or 24, if she can find her size and wears kid sizes most of the time, and Khloe is a size 30. We are all shapped differently and are proud of our shape big or small….

Conclusion: The measurements that Kim provided indicate a BMI of 21.4, which is in the middle of the healthy range (18.5 - 25). I am pretty sure that these stats will cause a little controversy and that some will say “No way she fits in size 27 jeans / is 120″, but then again, she’s not very muscular, she’s very short and besides her big butt, she’s quite a slender girl. Definitely don’t agree about the “very skinny, chicken legs” part, though.

What do you say? Do Kim’s measurements and sizes sound realistic to you?

UPDATE: Due to the fact that she received many comments from people saying that she can not possibly be that small, Kim also made a little video entitled “See, I told you!” and put it on her blog - in the video, she tried on 3 pairs of jeans in front of the camera, 2 of them size 27 and one pair size 26. And yes, she did get inside them - yes, they were tight on her butt and yes, she tried to squeeze herself in, but they did fit.

Us Weekly runs a story on the incredibly tiny Beverly Hills duo, Jessica Stroup and Shenae Grimes. Here is what they have to say about the skinniest girls on TV:

Beverly Hills, 90210 stars are so thin that show producers and costars are poised to take action, Us Weekly reports in its latest issue, on newsstands now.

“They want the girls to gain weight,” a show source tells Us. “They are trying too hard to be skinny, and it’s started to wear on them. It’s just not healthy.” Stroup, 21, is 5-foot-8 but weighs 100 to 105 pounds while Grimes, 18, is 5-foot-3 and stands at a mere 90 pounds, Beverly Hills-based weight-management expert Dr. Joyce Peters estimates to Us.

“I’ve never seen Jessica or Shenae eat,” another show source tells Us. So shocking is the situation that their 90210 male costars are contemplating an intervention. “I heard some of the boys on the show are going to sit down with the girls and talk to them,” an additional show source tells Us. “The girls were all skinny when they started, but they’re definitely thinner now,” the source adds.

So, that would be a BMI of 15.9 for Shenae and a Bmi of 15.2 - 16 for Jessica, as in severly underweight. With the hope that we won’t receive “OMG, how great they look!” comments, let’s hear your thoughts!

If you are not familiar with these two faces, then here’s the news: the left one is the skinniest girl that ever won America’s Next Top Model and the right one is the curviest one to take home the same title. Just how different are they? For starters, Jaslene is a US size 0 (even though she usually looks looks like a 00) and the recent winner, Whitney, is a US size 10 and sometimes an 8. (more…)
