Dying To Be Thin…Literally…


Is the celeb obsession with weight loss out of control? Well look in any magazine and you might have to say yes. It seems that today more than ever celebs are shrinking by what seems like that minute. This fad is rubbing off on their fans.
The question that is on everyone mind is: What is healthy and what is sexy cut to the heart of a renewed debate that is currently raging everywhere from message boards to movie sets to modeling agencies. What makes this controversy new is that for the first time both designers and stars have been put on the defensive: In Hollywood, style makers like Kate Bosworth, 23, and Nicole Richie, 25, are setting troubling new standards for thinness. Today is seems as though whoever is thinner gets the job and the competition is enormous.
Today the scrutiny of thin stars is more than ever. Nicole Richie was so fed up with the constant examination of her frailness that on Sept. 25 she issued a statement on her Myspace.com page. So how long is this thin trend going to last?? It could be awhile because thin seems to be go no where.
