Photoshop much?

Here is a picture of America Ferrara next to some graphic designer’s vision of what America Ferrara would look like if she were actually Mandy Moore. I haven’t read the article but I’m sure there will be an in-depth discussion about how important it is that women love their bodies at any weight, which will be incredibly hypocritical and boring. Thanks, but I think I’ll stick to my OK! articles about Sean Preston’s coke habit and Lindsay Lohan’s latest herpes outbreak. Ya know, real news.
Kate Sues for Diet Slander!
Oct 17th

Kate Winslet wins fight against the British magazine Grazia due to their story that she was seeking outside help to diet. Kate, as we all know by now, has no tolerance for the fashion industry’s size zero culture and wants young women to know that having curves is ok, so she was appalled when the claims came out that she was seeing a diet doctor. People is reporting that Kate has won an undisclosed amount in libel damages from Grazia. Keeping with her signature grace and poise, Kate told People her thoughts after winning:
“Grazia magazine has apologized to me in full, and admitted that their story was incorrect, which gives me tremendous peace of mind. I feel very strongly that ‘curves’ are natural, womanly and real.
I shall continue to hope that women are able to believe in themselves for who they are inside, and not feel under such incredible pressure to be unnaturally thin. I am donating the ‘damages’ given to me by Grazia, to an eating disorder charity.”
Yet another reason to love Kate. Congrats Kate!
Rachael Who? Who cares!

Rachael Ray has been getting a little beef from the public lately regarding her Dunkin’ Donuts ads. More specifically chef Anthony Bourdain is not pleased with Ray’s massive deal with the donut maker. He said, “She’s hugely influential, particularly with children. And she’s endorsing Dunkin’ Donuts. It’s like endorsing crack for kids.” Whoa, back up a second, “hugely influential with children”? What the hell is he talking about? I can honestly tell you that neither of my 3 kids know who Rachael Ray is, let alone would they ever choose to watch a cooking segment over power rangers or barney. Reality check! Donuts sell themselves buddy, not some glorified chef. To blame Rachel Ray (even though I don’t really like her) for fattening up our children would be like blaming Britney Spears for bad haircuts and lack of underwear.
Kelly Osbourne trashes her microwave

Kelly’s best diet tip is to throw out her microwave! The star recently lost tons of weight and credits her loss to losing her microwave. She said since she threw her microwave in the trash, she’s been forced to eat fresh healthier foods rather than 3 minute frozen dinners which can be high in carbs and in fat.
