Kim Kardashian Shows Off and Talks About Her Figure, Episode 97499

Kim Kardashian Shows Off and Talks About Her Figure, Episode 97499

At this point, it’s a little sad and a little comical that Kim talks (and thinks) about her figure THIS much.

After last week Kim twitted a bikini picture that looked visibly stretched (or at least her body and face looked elongated because of the angle) to prove the fact that she has reached her weight goal (see the highly debated post HERE!), now she felt the need to post more proof on her blog that she is, indeed, as thin as she wants (a few days ago she was the advocate for curves in a magazine) and included her sister Khloe in the picture – a picture which, again, is taken from the same angle and has the same unrealistic, inaccurate result (proof: Khloe looks like a bobble-head, which she is not).

I Twittered one of these pics last week, but I wanted to share the rest with you guys here. I really feel like I have reached my fitness goal and now I am toned, fit and at a healthy weight and I just need to keep it up!

Getting fit is great, being informed on what to eat and how to dress for your body type is great as well, embracing and loving your figure is great, admiring and finding inspiration in other women is OK too, it’s all part of being the best you can be at a physical level – but if you spend most of your effort, energy and time on your looks alone, I’m wondering about how much effort, energy and time there are left to be the best you can be at an intellectual, emotional and spiritual level.

Jessica Simpson’s Weight Is Mocked by a Cartoon Character

Jessica Simpsons Weight Is Mocked by a Cartoon Character | jessica simpson

The irony is that Jessica’s weight was mocked in a cartoon that is sponsored by Burger King. Yahoo News reports:

Jessica Simpson is once again under fire for her physique. But this time, it’s not from the tabloids – it’s from the NFL. In a new animated short which aired during “FOX NFL Sunday” on October 11, sponsored by Burger King, cartoon versions of Tony Romo’s teammates and coach take turns taking shots at the quarterback’s ex-girlfriend.

“Man, I still can’t believe Tony dated Jessica Simpson, even after she blew up bigger than Flozell Adams!” an animated version of Cowboys running back Marion Barber says, referring to offensive lineman Adams, who is 6′7″ and 338 pounds.

“Unlike Tony, at least Jessica comes up big when it counts!” the cartoon character said.

A cartoon of Cowboys coach also jumps in on the act, suggesting Jessica could suit up for the team.

“Say Tony, is Jessica around? We could use a defensive tackle!” the character says, referring to a position that typically tips the scales at over 300 pounds.

A spokesperson for FOX issued an apology on Wednesday over the skit.

“Burger King Corp. did not have any editorial input in the creation of the animation that ran last Sunday, and no one from Burger King Corp. approved it before it aired. Upon reflection, our poor attempt at humor was insensitive and we deeply apologize to anyone who might have been offended,” the statement issued to Us Weekly said.

On Wednesday evening, Jessica herself chimed in via her Twitter account.

“i will never understand why people attack for a laugh,” she Tweeted. “own your beauty and don’t listen to the judgement.”

Hilary Duff – Too Big for Gossip Girl?

Hilary Duff   Too Big for Gossip Girl? | hilary duff

Hilary Duff will play Olivia Burke on Gossip Girl (3 rd season), a movie star in search of a college experience at New York University.

But wait, there’s a tiny problem! Apparently, Hilary is a little too thick for the role and the producers want her to lose some weight to “fit in”.

A source revealed to Star Magazine the following:

‘She’s too big. It won’t look right with the other girls. Hilary is fuming. She’s feeling insecure.’

Kate Winslet: “I am exactly the same as I’ve always been”

Kate Winslet: I am exactly the same as I’ve always been | kate winslet

… and the title refers to her weight. I know, this is the 759th time Kate is talking about her figure – this time it’s in Harper’s Bazaar.

Here are some parts you might find interesting:

Kate hasn’t really gone all shy and retiring on the red carpet. After years of wearing long, she’s more recently taken a short cut — sporting, among others, a curve-loving Hervé Léger and a racy Balmain number. (She’s still legging it today, perched on the couch in a gold Calypso minidress.) “I danced a lot when I was younger, and I’ve always had decent, shapely legs and thought it’s now or never,” she says. “I mean, when you’re pushing 40, are you really going to wander around in a dress that’s midthigh length? So I thought, Oh, f-ck it, I’m just going to do it.”

And so began the thousandth round of Kate Winslet body speculation. “I’ve heard, ‘Oh, she’s toned and she’s lost weight,’ but I am exactly the same as I’ve always been. The one thing that had to go during awards season was exercise. People would say to me, ‘Oh, come on …’ like I was lying about it!” The topic clearly fatigues her. “Some may find it hard to believe it, but I don’t care about that stuff.”

But Oprah Winfrey does, as she proclaimed gloriously to the world when Kate was on her show promoting The Reader — in which her character, former Nazi guard Hanna Schmitz, is often naked — “God bless your real breasts!” Kate shrugs and says, “I’m used to people openly discussing my t-ts. If people are noticing my boobs in a movie and saying they do what real boobs do, then that’s great.” But, like her legs, the boobs have a shelf life. “I’ll be 34 in October. I can’t keep getting away with it. There was so much of it in The Reader because the story required it, but people have seen enough of my bum and my boobs. I have to put them back.”

Sure, Kate has an Oscar, a lauded husband, and two fetching children (Mia, 8, and Joe, 5), but she’s not Gisele. She’s one of us … ish. “Part of the reason Lancôme asked me [to represent the brand] was because I come across as a woman other women can identify with. The media plays such a big role in how women measure themselves against other women, so I can be in a position where I can say beauty comes from within, we’re not all perfect, and the covers of magazines are of course retouched. We do not look like that.” She points to her forehead. “I have wrinkles here, which are very evident, and I will particularly say when I look at movie posters, ‘You guys have airbrushed my forehead. Please can you change it back?’ I’d rather be the woman they’re saying ‘She’s looking older’ about than ‘She’s looking stoned.’”

Britney Is Upset Over “Bulky Spears!” and “Jelly Belly” Comments

Britney Is Upset Over Bulky Spears! and Jelly Belly Comments | britney spears

You might have heard that the Daily Mail had something to say about Britney’s figure a few days ago – and the words weren’t exactly flattering. Here’s what they commented about Britney’s pictures from her Circus tour:

Bulky Spears! As Britney returns to the stage after five years is she a bigger star than ever?
Perhaps Britney Spears was exploring different sides of her personality at her comeback show. Then again, she may have just been trying to find the right costume to flatter what is a rather fuller figure these days.

Now, Digital Spy reports that Britney is (understandably) upset about the comments:

Britney Spears is reportedly struggling to deal with criticism about her weight.
The singer is said to be ‘devastated’ by comments made during her ‘Circus’ world tour, dubbing her “Bulky Spears” and “jelly belly”, according to Heat.

“Britney has been upset by some of the negative feedback she’s been getting,” a source said. “She’s worked so hard on her figure and her fitness.

“She thought she was an unstoppable force, but now it’s dawning on her that she’s not as revered as she once was, which is causing her upset.

“She feels she’s put a heck of a lot of effort into the tour. It’s devastating for her to hear the criticisms. We just hope she doesn’t take it too much to heart.”

The star has allegedly started drinking specially-sourced shakes which include the African tree bark hoodia, thought to help with weight loss.
