Nothing tastes as good as logic feels.Remember, if you look like you have any body fat, those unsightly curves will be digitally slimmed. But if you look like you don’t have body fat, those unsightly bones will be fixed for you.
Your daily reminder
…that everyone in Hollywood is really, really hungry.
Sex And The City star Kim Cattrall has confessed to being on a diet for most of her adult life. And the svelte actress, 54, admitted she is finding it harder to stay in shape as she gets older. ‘I’ve been dieting my whole life because I have a tremendous appetite,’ she said.
No, you’ve been dieting your whole life because you have an appetite, and you have a job that requires you not to.

Some things it might not be worth your time to argue about
1. Whether a woman whose breasts look different when she is
- over a decade younger
- wearing a string bikini
- thinner
- Photoshopped to hell
has had breast implants.
2. Whether draconian comment moderation is necessary even on ostensibly feminist blogs.
Ahem.
Seth Rogen says “Now that the movie’s over I hope to get fat again. Because I enjoy it.“
Fun party trick: pick a lady actor who would be caught dead saying that!

Infographic of the Day: Matt Ellerbrock explains the impetus behind his “Many Bodies of Christian Bale” infographic (you know, besides Christian Bale’s many bodies):
With the recent release of David O. Russell’s “The Fighter,” starring Mark Walberg and Christian Bale, I’ve often found myself explaining to friends and family the incredible body transformations Christian Bale has gone through since filming “The Machinist” (2004). I typically resort to googling images of the actor to compare, and have done this enough to discover that there are some composite images from a few of Bale’s roles, but nothing comes close to showing us a more complete picture of just what he’s gone through over the last 8 years of his career. This image is my attempt to remedy that.

I am trying to imagine what the critical and popular reactions would be to a female actress who gained 70 pounds between one role and the next. Remember the hoopla around Renee Zellweger’s “fat” Bridget Jones body?
And more recently, Gwyneth Paltrow’s 20-pound “nightmare” weight gain for Country Strong:
Christian Bale effectively mimics eating disorders to go from one role to another, and his commitment to his craft is lauded the more for the changes to his body. Most Hollywood actresses do this their entire lives, and the “nightmare” is when they gain a tiny amount for a role. Seeing them with fleshier bodies makes it harder to ignore just how narrow (pun intended) the beauty standard they reify is.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_leo96w912a1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)
