Skinny VS Curvy

Let’s read the story from Huffington Post:

Ellen Pompeo, who gave birth to daughter Stella Luna in September, covers the April issue of Self magazine. In the interview, Ellen, 40, talks about how motherhood has changed her body.

On her pregnancy weight gain:
“I went up a pants size during my pregnancy. I was in size 25 jeans and went to 26. I gained 26 pounds. I weigh 10 pounds more than I ever have. I love it.”

On criticism for being too thin:
“Everyone always told me I was too skinny before, and I thought, Oh, God, what if there are 14-year-olds who think I’m not eating, and then they don’t eat? Do I have a responsibility? Really, I don’t care if people think I’m too skinny. This is my body. If they don’t like it, screw it.”

On healthy eating:
“Take a few hours and prepare lunch for the week. On Sundays, I premake everything for salads. I boil a dozen eggs and parboil beets. I chop lettuce, cilantro, scallions and parsley and put it all in Ziploc bags. During the week, I just grab handfuls, add dressing, dump in a can of beans, some goat cheese, and I’m ready to go.”

“I have always had incredibly skinny legs. It’s in my family.

“If anything, I have put weight ON since the last Girls Aloud tour.”

“Last night I went for dinner with my boyfriend and Guy Chambers to the River Cafe in West London.

“I had sea bass and potatoes for my main course and a starter that was deep fried.

“I have a healthy lifestyle, I’m always on a bike near the beach and don’t drink much.”

“If I was pictured laughing and the shot showed me with a double chin everyone would be saying how portion sizes in America were making me pile on pounds.”

… says Nadine, who’s been in the media eye recently for losing (too much?) weight.

A few days ago, big-eyed beauty Amanda Seyfried said that she’s on a raw food diet – and today’s quote shows again that she works hard to stay thin:

“If I didn’t run and work out, there’s no way I would be this thin. But I have to stay in shape because I’m an actress. It’s f**ked up and it’s twisted, but I wouldn’t get the roles otherwise. If I’d been a bit bigger, I don’t think they would have cast me for Mamma Mia!”

… says Amanda.

After last week, Howard Stern criticized (mocked) Gabourey’s weight, this week, a diet pill company made an offer to Gabourey – let’s hear the details via PopEater:

There has been a big debate about whether Gabourey Sidibe’s weight will hamper her future career, despite her recent Oscar nomination.

Now, one weight loss company has written a letter to the ‘Precious’ star, telling her she needs to worry about her health — not her image, TMZ reports.

AssaiSupply.com has offered the actress a one-year’s supply of their product to help her lose weight.

“The only way you can reach your goal of someday winning that Oscar is by being active, fit and most of all, healthy!” the CEO wrote to Sidibe.

The young star has been the focus of much scrutiny regarding her size.

Howard Stern was recently criticized for lashing out about Sibide weight on his radio show. “There’s the most enormous, fat black chick I’ve ever seen. She is enormous. Everyone’s pretending she’s a part of show business and she’s never going to be in another movie.”

Others, including PopEater’s own Rob Shuter, have been kinder when discussing her present opportunities, yet still believe she’ll have hard time getting cast.

“The type of role this girl wants is going to be very hard for her to get,” Shuter told Joy Behar.

As for PopEater readers, 63 percent of over 15K voters don’t think she has a future in Hollywood.

Jessica Simpson is everywhere these days promoting her new TV show that regards Beauty and its many interpretations – so it makes sense that she’s sharing a lot about her curves, weight and diet… here’s today’s quote from Jessica (source: Us Magazine):

“I got curves!” The Price of Beauty star, 29, tells E! News. “I can’t get rid of them. There ain’t no getting rid of them. At this point, I just celebrate them. I’m a healthy girl. I work out. I box. I try to eat right. I still like my corn dogs, my burgers and my onion rings. I can’t help it. Just as long as I feel good about myself and if I feel healthy, I feel beautiful.”

“Growing up in Texas for me, fish was a fish stick. We weren’t really the healthiest of people. [My mom] didn’t force me to eat healthy. She did have an opinion on what I was wearing. But my mom has always made me feel confident.”
