MSM went after Jessica Simpson for gaining weight; now they are after Lindsay Lohan
for losing weight. Why all the mixed messages? They should make up their minds!

16. No, she doesn't. An emaciated body makes the skull appear disproportionately larger


Simpson's weight is not a health risk. Lohan's weight loss looks like it could be.

20. Those women need to be hospitalized
seriously. I was anorexic once and I was hospitalized for being less thin then at least two of those women.

But Jessica is getting kind of fat. And Lindsay, wow. She's like a skeleton with boobs.

13. I'm sure it's just the pants, just like in the last thread about this topic.

21. Jessica isn't fat.
God, no wonder women feel they must starve themselves.

Jessica isn't even big enough to be a Ruben, much less in need of some starving.

3. MSM looking to make money
what better targets to hype up and sell rags than young female celebrities with problems they don't seem to have? Pretty obvious wouldn't you think?

19. I agree with your post,
except I believe the corporate media's real targets are the young females buying those rags, by appealing to their adolescent insecurities regarding their own body image.

I would call this, the molding effect by the corporate media shaping the "consumer" mentality, focusing on raising to preeminence style over substance and superficial concerns over depth of character.

This in effect becomes a subliminal, marketed self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts all for the sake of profit.

5. Who cares?
Talentless nothings who manage to turn their looks into money can't very well complain when they are subsequently judged on that same physical basis.

6. What I really wonder is,
Where in the HELL did Jessica and Lindsay get their jeans?

Mofo's are ugly, and completely unflattering, regardless of their weight.

Ugh!

9. Jessica looks pretty weight-appropriate to me, actually.
But she needs to accept that and dress in appropriately-sized clothes. That pants button looks like it's ready to pop.

18. I wish I looked that fat.
Edited on Thu Feb-19-09 01:03 PM by GoCubsGo
She might have put on a few pounds, but I sure wouldn't call what she is "fat". She just has horrible taste in clothes. ;-)

22. Yep. It's the fashion
I'm sure that she looks entirely average in regular clothing. The camera adds ten pounds, but those mom jeans add twenty!

17. I don't care about weight gain.. but Lohan looks so incredibly ill!
I'm concerned about the anorexia epidemic in Hollywood, they're destroying women and their sense of self with this shit. And it's all tied in... the mocking of Jessica Simpson and others for putting on a few pounds, while producers and agents push push push their stars to get thinner and thinner. Do they want us to just disappear? is that it? Look at Kelly Ripa? She hawks appliances on TV and yet looks to weigh now around 85 pounds. That is not a naturally thin look, nor is Lohans. I wish the women in entertainment would fight back and stop destroying themselves, and in turn destroy the women to view them as role models (there is a reason advertising in a billion dollar industry -- it influences us in how we want to see ourselves.) It has to stop. Lohan needs an intervention again.. this time for her weight. And before anyone claims that she is healthy, she is a chain smoker now....
