    And I just want to say one more thing....Marilyn Monroe!
    One of the most beautiful women there ever has been. She wore a size 14. She is my role model.

    Good luck with that.

    *waits for backlash*

    Exactly what I was thinking. I may as well get the ball rolling...

    What I don't get is people on about 'curves' or being 'curvy'.

    Don't all women have a waist, boobs, bum and hips? Just at different sizes. You can be 'curvy' at any size. I might be less 'curvy' than someone who weighs a lot less than me.

    This annoys me.

    Also, who the hell wants to look like Paris Hilton?!

    Jus' sayin'.

    And I too would like to see some more normal sized people in the celebrity World. I don't mean overweight, but in the U.K. most celebs are a U.K. size 2-6 I'd say, but I think U.K. sizes 8-12 look a lot more appealing. I don't have any friends who are a size 4 and about to go buy the same outfits as celebs, lol. :/

    This is totally disguising how can they go against the entire medical profession and say that an underweight BMI is healthy!
    These stupid self centred, shallow freaks need to get a grip on the fact that there inadequacies are killing our young girls and the media need to take some responsibility as well. I have a friend with a daughter who has anorexia she has been in and out of hospital for the past 5 years and is still sick, she cant have a normal life, going out to eat / drink / socialise / exercise/ goto school is difficult for her, she will may never have children.

    I have a 3 year old who I encourage to play games, swim go dancing all for fun but taking about diets and fat is banned in our house, I will prefer she grow up to be fat than go through that which my friends daughter has. It is a living hell for her and her mother and its partly do to 'famous' super skinning attention seekers.

    Anyway what has Paris Hilton done other that have a rich Daddy and behave like a spoilt brat!

    Yes we want more Marilyn Monroes she is a beautiful woman :-)

    Agreed! And isn't the boyfriend referenced in this article with her the guy that got busted for cocaine possesion in Las Vegas last year? Where does that fit in with a healthy lifestyle? Such hypocrits!

    marilyn monroe was 5ft 5 1/2, weighed 118lb and was 35/22/35 measurements.

    does that sound like a size 16 to you?. She was a US 4 or 6 at her heaviest (uk 8/10)

    I do think it's wrong that the article is glorifying Paris Hilton's unhealthy BMI. But for Hollywood standards, her new lower weight is "normal". So why is this really surprising?

    I'm not by any stretch a fan of Paris Hilton. But she looks good in that photo posted. And she does NOT look like she weighs 115 lbs. I think it's pretty obvious Hollywood stars have "vanity scales" that automatically knock 20 lbs off, like they have vanity sizing so they can say they're a size 2 when they'd be a size 6 or 8 if they shopped at JC Penney.

    Remember though that "the camera adds 10 lbs". This statement is absolutely true. I work in the film industry and have seen celebs like Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis in real life. They are SOOO TINY in real life, but then you watch their movies and they look more normal. So I wouldn't doubt that in that photo Paris Hilton is around 115, but looks more like 125 in the photo.

    Also, to get more technical, those kinds of paparazzi beach pictures are usually taken with wide-angle lenses, which will make the person look even bigger.

    I don't think Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis look normal. They look tiny. Cute, but very tiny. Fragile.

    I'm not saying that there aren't a lot of really scary, skinny women in Hollywood or on the runways. I'm just saying I don't believe everything I read, whether it's in People, IMDB, Playboy centerfolds, or someone's personal ad. To quote the great Dr House, "Everybody lies." :laugh:

    My friends call it "boy pounds." The weight you tell guys you weigh. If the smart, educated and not incredibly shallow women I call call my friends are sensitive enough to lie about their weight, you can bet your scale that celebs do it even more.

    Actually back in the day she was considered about a size 14 - but sizes have changed considerably since then! :happy:

    Except that would be more like a today's size 6. I'm sorry, but it's the truth.

    Yeah, this made me upset. I am 5'8" and 125 and I have worked really hard to get here. I don't consider myself overweight, but now I still feel like I need to lose a few more pounds, even though I know it's probably silly.

    Most of these celebrities are praised for being underweight, and they give everyone frustrating and unrealistic expectations.

    Why would a guy ask how much you weigh? And if he didn't ask, why would the subject come up?

    The BMI weight charts aren't always that accurate..I'd trust my dr telling me I'm in the healthy range rather than looking it up. Granite she is at a rather low weight for her height she may be perfectly healthy. I think articles on Hollywood ppl are always fake to get people goin and rant about how bad that is...unless Paris said these things I wouldn't believe it :)
