Trend that I wish would just DIE: Celebrity Vanity Sizing


So this 'trend' has been bothering me for awhile. Ever since those pictures of Jennifer Love Hewitt showed up last year. You know the ones where she's at the beach wearing a bikini and some asshole paparazzi took an unflattering picture of her ass close-up. Needless to say the picture ended up on all the gossip rags and the fact that she had cellulite caused headlines to read "she's fat" etc. So an enraged Hewitt fired back at the media (rightfully so) saying that the average woman isn't a size 0! I was GLAD that a celeb gave the media a whiplashing for acting like size 0 is normal but then Hewitt killed it for me.....she claimed that she didn't know why the media was calling her fat because she was a size 2. A SIZE 2!! Anyone who saw those pictures know that she's more along the size 8 or 10 area- she showed her insecurities and LIED about her size. We've all lied about our size at one point or another but what pissed me off was the obvious denial she was in that she told the media she was about 4 sizes smaller then she was!!! Don't present yourself as a woman sticking up for non-bobbleheads and then lie ENORMOUSLY about your own figure!

So last week I was perusing my daily celebrity gossip blogs and what do I come across- a ridiculous article about Beyonce claiming she's not fat and that she is in fact smaller then Jerry Hall. Here's the picture that accompanied the article (insert joke here) What's more, a rep for designer Mugler told "Us Weekly the waist on Hall's dress was 23 inches and was reduced to 19 for Beyonce.

My reaction was to quote Laineygossip:

Say it together now:

Bitch… PLEASE!

That she felt she needed to defend herself against some imaginary “fatness” was ridiculous to begin with. But LYING about a 19 inch waist is a level of dumbassness on par with Jennifer Love Hewitt’s size 2.

  1. Muahahaha this post was great! I am totally on board with you, if Megan Fox claims she has a 22 inch waist then that means Beyonce' has at least a 25 inch waist. Why lie about it, I mean the average woman is a size 12-14 so she has nothing to be ashamed of. Another thing that drives me up a wall is when starlets say that they don't diet or workout to achieve their toned svelte bodies, like all of them have great genes and can eat whatever they want. Blasphemy!
