What do you feel about the celebrity world enforcing the image of being skinny?

Not sure enforcing is the right word to use. But I agree that the power of the celebrities on the younger generation is powerful. TV is a powerful medium. And having these girls walking on the catwalk with a skeleton of a Zombie is definitely sending the wrong message to our kids.

No, and you probably know that.  You need some self-confidence so you don't need people on yahoo telling you you're skinny to feel good about yourself.

It depends on what you mean... i think, looking at the media, we aren't doing so hot. Because of movie stars, barbie dolls, and mean girls/boys at school, the pressure to be super thin and blonde or have big muscle is high. Props to the people who believe in themselves and love who they are.

Personally, I agree with you.  Both Nicole and Teri are a little too skinny.  I'm not sure what the attraction is to women who are skin and bones, but there sure seems to be a lot of them in Hollywood.

I'd hate to be skinny as I love my boobs. I think women look better with a bit of meat on them but at the same time you must be healthy. If your within a healthy weight then it's all cool.

Sure, its their right to support ideals they believe in, but celebrity status should not be used as a reason to listen, or a platform to voice nonsense. Image should not take place of content.

It's really sad, isn't it?  I don't know if it could get reversed...do you remember the Dove advertising campaign where they used women who were not skinny-anorexic, but rather women who were both average and plus size? Well a lot of people were angered by that and preferred to see the anorexic models rather than the overweight ones.  I think, unfortunately, we have all become accustomed to this negative ideal physique.  I hope it can get reversed!

I don't like her show. It's on TV right now and I'm tempted to turn it off because it is so unwatchable but I  find it a bit sad the way that any celebrity who has an average figure is labelled "fat". Just because she isn't anorexic like Nicole Ritchie or Lindsay Lohan doesn't make her fat. Jeez, no wonder so many kids have eating disoredrs these days.\nThis answer is directed more at some of the other answeres of this question, not the asker. To the asker, no she hasn't had a baby.

men prefer skinny woman due to what society thinks. I think a lot of men prefer skinny woman because they are embarrassed to be with BBW's. They think that there friends will laugh at them or make fun of them or whatever. whilst I have a bbw for a wife, I wouldnt mind seeing her loose the weight..now I dont wish that she was like a size 5 or anything that skinny but I would like to see her be somewhere around a 12. She has told me she wants to be a size 12. I would also like to see her loose some of the weight due to health problems and her annoying snoring! Remember Norma Jean (AKA Marylin Monroe)?? does anyone know what size she was?? no she wasnt a 5 or 7 or anything that skinny. she was around a size 12. people back in her hay day especially the guys, liked woman who had some meat on them. not too excessively fat but not stick skinny either. I think that hollywood is responsible for the change in peoples attitudes regarding the size of woman. I also think that society today is slowly changing its attitudes to be more favorable to bigger woman. But it will be a awhile before society and hollywood will totaly be acceptive of big woman.

you are fine. as long as you feel comfortable, thats what really matters.\n\ntoo many people are hung up on being thin and even when we are not overweight? we still think we are because of advertisements, Hollywood and models.

I don't know how much she weighs or even care about her size, she looks great and doesn't care what people think about her otherwise she would have starve herself or stuck her fingers down her throat she chooses not to be like the other celebrities and listen to the media, she feels sexy and that's all that matter, she is a great role model for kids especially with the  teenagers who has low self esteem issues and I applaud her for that.\n\n Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid or misinformed beholder a black eye. \n-Miss Piggy-

super skinny is disgusting. there is a medium that guys like. But really its all about how she presents herself.

Not a thing, babe! Real men prefer curves.\nEvery time I get one of those celebrity "who would you rather date?" questions, I respond that I'm sick and tired of bonebag celebrity chicks.\n\nWhen I see a girl with an itty-bitty waist and a round thing in my face I get SPRUNG!

lately yes i am sick of hearing about it. i don't say i hate a celeb anymore because that is a really strong word and i don't even know them. i tend to say i dislike them for their music, or skeletal body, etc. \n\nof course i would love to have all the money and free clothes and stuff that celebs get, however they are constantly picked apart - i couldn't deal with that.\n\nso yes i am trying to back off of the bashing

I dont think sickly thin people are beautiful. I dont care what size you are, if you're ugly, you're still living with the face, fat or thin. And I've seen some UGLY skinny people in people magazine. Kate Bosworth is one example. Mary Kate and ashley olsen are two others.
