Skinny VS Curvy

Vogue’s Anna Wintour recently did a “60 Minutes” interview – the video is already on the web and it has some weight-related highlights (or lowlights):

1. Anna told Oprah to lose weight (more precisely, around 20 lbs) for the Vogue cover she did in October 1998. Here’s the cover and the exact quote:

“It was a very gentle suggestion,” she said, laughing. “I went to Chicago to visit Oprah, and I suggested that it might be an idea that she lose a little bit of weight.”

“I said simply that you might feel more comfortable. She was a trooper!”

“She totally welcomed the idea, and she went on a very stringent diet,” Wintour said. “And it was one of our most successful covers ever.”

2. Anna said that she recently visited Minnesota and this was her impression:

“I’d just been on a trip to Minnesota, where I can only kindly describe most of the people I saw as little houses,” Wintour said. “There’s such an epidemic of obesity in the United States, and for some reason, everybody focuses on anorexia.”

OK, what do you have to say about all these?

If this is true, my question is: 21 lbs? FROM WHERE?

RTE Entertainment reports:

Angelina Jolie is reportedly battling fatigue as she tries to lose weight for her new film ‘Salt’.

The 33-year-old actress is reportedly trying to lose 21lbs in 21 days for an upcoming film in which she plays a CIA assassin who is forced to disguise herself as a man.

Friends claim Angelina is so determined to look like a boy she has turned to the Martha’s Vineyard Detox Diet to help shrink her frame.

The extreme diet – which was popular in Hollywood in 2007 – encourages followers to ingest liquids every two hours to ‘cleanse the body’. Solid food is strictly prohibited.

Angelina reportedly started her detox three days before last month’s Oscars and is already battling weakness and fatigue.

While to some seeing Kim Kardashian’s back is a privilege, to others it is plain horror. So I guess the above picture… you either love it or you hate it. Regardless of your feelings, you must admit that Kim’s assetsare looking less “super-uber-extra” bumpy here, but that is probably only because we got a front view, a back view, yet not a profile view.

As we established in previous posts, Kim is definitely on top of the curvy territory, yet some say that she is dancing on the line between curvy, which stands for shapely and chubby, which stands for “almost fat, yet not quite”. What do you say? Should Kim lose a few or enjoy everything she’s got right now?

As seen above, Britney “does she need a second name?” Spears is still trying to lose weight and to shape up. Now, let’s see, what are the good stuffs about this candid? One, Britney is leaving the gym, which implies that she was in the gym and that alone is admirable enough. Two, she’s got water in her hands, instead of sugar or fat. Three, she is smiling, which is probably the most relevant of all. Now onto the bad: while the effort is appreciated, we can’t see any major transformations just yet. Two: for the millionth time, the hair… just cut it, brush it, arrange it, fix it, dye it, anything.

Do you see any improvements on Britney’s body, as a result of her workouts? Point them out!
