Just saw this-- and thought it was an excellent commentary on Body Image and what Hollywood is doing to convince us to be much thinner than what is "healthy"...

Discussion about Jennifer Love Hewett's Honeymoon pictures on Ellen's Show...

My favorite thing that she's done was a movie called "Mr Wrong"--- I saw this when I first moved to San Diego-- and a great portion of the film was filmed in La Jolla and San Diego.  I was certainly dating "Mr Wrong" at that point--- Mr. Type A.-- Computer Nerd Geek on Quaalude (no -- just kidding; but he was so high strung he may have well been on Quaalude).

First of all, if you tell anybody I just watched 3 minutes of Ellen I will deny it.

Second, she makes a good point about how the fashion industry and Hollywood perpetuate an unrealistic body image.  It wouldn't be a big deal except for all the young girls who do get seriously messed up in the head as a result.  It does seem like the eating disorder situation is getting out of control.

No wonder we're all on 'ludes (and by We I mean You guys). We think we're supposed to be thin, but we're the fattest people in the world. Ima go have some more cake and Redbull while I watch my movie.
