There seems to be no stopping how thin today's female actresses,models and singers are becomming. Are they going too far in their quest for fame. What message are they giving to young girls.

 

Are these celebrities doing it for themselves, because they can't get work unless they are skinny, are the image makers to blame,the film makes the record producers, the magazine owners?

 

Is it not possible to be famous and successful if you are over 8 stone nowadays.

...... you could argue though that they are sending ouyt a possitive message.. being overweight is unhealthy!

 

people today are far more overweight then at any time in our past. and kids obesity is worse. there were NO 'fat kids' in my school in the 60's, we were all skinny beggers! nowdays kids are ferried to school in 4x4's (about 200 yards! <_< ), eat junk, spend too much time online :P, or on tv, or games consoles.

 

 

however, these 'celebs' overdo their skinniness, and their make-up.

 

trout pout lips, psychedelic face paint, the hairstyle that they all sport... they are clones, of how some tasteless idiot thinks girls should be.

 

they havnt got a clue..

It's not always the artists decision to choose about there size. Take Anastacia for example, before she was aloud to release her songs her Record Lable wanted her to be thin, so she made herself thin, overdone it and became anorexic, and ended up in hospital.

 

So artists arnt always to blame. If a kid wants to be fat, then it's there choice if they want to be that size and die younge, but they also have the brains to decide if they are going to do something with there weight.

Yes - but the blame should belong to the Record Companies / Film Studios & Media.

it aint that straight foreward m8...

If Anastacia had a backbone she'd have quit and released with someone who's only interested in talent and not looks!

It is the record labels fault and most artist sell through looks.. so if the record label tells them to slim or you dropped.. you have to slim.. yes it is wrong but they want to release music.
