The
weight loss craze is nothing new in Hollywood. We all know that size 0 doesn’t equal good looks, but rather an eating disorder. It is a shame that despite everyone knowing that the weight of most Hollywood actresses and other celebrities is
far from healthy and more and more young and famous women are taking on this lifestyle. This post is to show what the
dieting craze has done to them:
1. Amy Winehouse
Amy Winehouse is skinny due to drugs and alcohol
First comes the sad, sad story of a very
gifted young musician: Amy Winehouse. We all know that she could have become one of the world’s most famous singers, but when
drugs and alcohol crossed her way at celebrity partys she basically started destroying herself. Every now and then you see her
emaciated body in the news, but the stories always focus on her behaviour rather than her music. I guess if she goes on like that she won’t survive much longer!
2. Whitney Houston
Whitney Houston looks anorexic on stage
She’s definitely one of my all time favourite singers and her voice is unique, but just like many other celebrities
Whitney Houston is suffering from some
serious eating disorders. Otherwise she wouldn’t have ended up with the body she has in the above picture. This is what
stress, alcohol, drugs and an abusive husband can make out of a beautiful, beautiful woman. It’s a shame! I really hope that she’ll be able to start her career again so that the world can enjoy her amazing voice and probably also see her in a better condition on stage again.
3. Nicole Richie
Nicole Richie is only skin and bones
Nicole Richie, daughter of famous singer Lionel Richie, is fortunately already doing better now. In 2006 after doing two seasons of
“The simple life” with her
BFF Paris Hilton she was really
scary thin. In the reality TV show she obviously was the heavier one of the two which led to her thinking that she needed to lose weight. At 90lbs you saw all of her
bones sticking out and luckily she also realized that she was too thin and put on weight with the help of a nutritionist. Let’s hope that we never see her like that again.
4. Courtney Love
New pictures show Courtney love looking anorexic and scary skin
Curt Cobain’s former wife is known as an
enfant terrible. If she is around you never know what happens.
weight has been almost as unstable as her mood. In 2007 she
lost 55 pounds within just a couple of months and looked awfully skinny afterwards as you can see in the picture.
Recent newspaper reports feature pictures of her that show Courtney looking really annorexic. I guess now she can’t deny that she has weight issues anymore. Her body looks dangerously thin! I hope that the latest news reports wake her up, so that she understands that her weight isn’t healthy anymore!
5. Keira Knightley
Keira Knightley is scary skin
Keira Knightley hasn’t got any
eating disorder – her skinny frame is just due to good genes – yes, sure!! How often have we heard that story? I look at her ribs and hip bones sticking out and can’t help to think that this young, talented
actress has a problem. In the before and after picture you can see how much better Keira would look with just a few pounds more. Another actress who’s fallen vitctim to
Hollywood’s skinny craze. What a shame!
6. Allegra Versace
Allegra Versace is extremely thin
As the daughter of a
world-famous fashion designer you’d expect you’d have no problems, but Allegra Versace has a big one: her weight. Over the years there were lots of speculations that Allegra was
suffering from an eating disorder and it was finally confirmed that the niece of Gianni Versace was
anorexic in 2007. She is now undergoing treatment and we should hope that we won’t see pictures of her so horribly skinny again in the future.
7. Tori Spelling
Tori Spelling is very thin
Tori Spelling the famous
90210 actress shocked the world with her extremely thin frame. At under
90 pounds petite Tori doesn’t look healthy any more. She lost weight really fast after giving birth to her second child. Like so
many mothers in Hollywood the first thing she focused her energy on was her weight, not her newborn. A trend that is definitely scary! In the side by side pictures she looks already skinny on the left, but the right picture makes you wonder if the
anorexia rumors are true!
8. Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham looks much too thin
Victoria Beckham, former Spice Girl and wife of British David Beckham, has just recently been named
celebrity with the worst body – and I completely agree. When Victoria was still Posh Spice she had a
nice and normal physique, but after becoming wife of David she focused all her energy on becoming a role model concerning fashion and also followed the
“skinny celebrity” trend when she and her hubby moved to America. Because of her weight at around 68lbs it was often speculated that she has an eating disorder but she always denies it – we don’t believe you Victoria!
9. Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan is scary thin
Lindsay has appeared in movies and films from a very early age on. Like
most child actors she is trying to continue to stay popular as a celebrity, but it seems that the scandals around her drinking problems, relationships and her weight are giving her more headlines than her movies. She says that the
weight loss is just due to stress and unintentional – but who believes that? The 22 year old actress
looks like skin and bones - gain some weight girl!
10. Calista Flockhart
Calista Flockhart is too skinny by far
The fiance of Harrison Ford is a successful actress and at 45 years of age already a
mature celebrity. Unfortunately like many of her young colleagues Calista has also fallen into the
skinny celebrities trap. To the allegations that her weight isn’t healthy anymore Flockhart answers that she has a
healthy lifestyle and eats three balanced meals a day. However, it seems that she would be better if she included some more calories in her diet plan judging on
her skinny frame. She is simply “small boned”
Calista Flockhart says – funny that so many Hollywood actresses are, isn’t it?
11. Kate Bosworth
Kate Bosworth looks much too thin
The aspiring actress has also suffered from
server weight issues in the past. Looking back she says it was a dark time in her life and that she found it scary to lose so much weight. At least she noticed that
her stick-thin figure wasn’t healthy anymore unlike many other Hollywood starlets and set out a plan again. Luckily she succeeded and looks much more healthy today.
12. Teri Hatcher
Teri Hatcher lost lots of weight
Teri Hatcher was flying high alongside superman in the 1990s TV series Lois and Clark and everyone thought that this had been the peak of her career. She gloriously returned as Susan Mayer in the TV Series desperate housewives. Teri has proven that she is still the awesome actress she used to be, but I guess somehow she felt the need to prove to herself that she can be just as thin as Hollywood’s younger actresses. Diets and lots of sport gave her a ultra trim and skinny physique. But do these legs look lovely? I don’t think so.

the thing is, when you’ve lost so much weight that you look like Tim Burton character, you’ve gone too far.
I likes my wimmins wid sum meat on dose bones.
Um, amy winehouse initially suffered from bulimia before she started smoking crack.
which is why her weight fluctuates literally from picture to picture.
Very scary indeed! Thinking about the pressure for celebs these days though its not surprising. Not a good advert for celeb diets, but some of them get it right!
I think thin women are beautiful. what is wrong with looking attractive, this and fit? the only women that sit here, and complain how skinny these ladies are, are those that are fat and eat constantly. Most likely never seen a gym in their life. if you spent less time complaining on the computer, put down those cookies and then go hit the gym, you too, would be getting alot of attention from men!
ridiculous heffers!
I likes my wimmins wid sum meat on dose bones.
whens I say meats, i mean skinny p*ssy bones on mines meat!
holla for hot skinny chicks.
Sally I’m thin myself but I know what too thin is and if you can glare at several of those photos and still be convinced that it’s healthy than you yourself have a serious body issue. You’re right, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being thin but when people take it to a point in which their ribs are protruding from their chest it’s gone to far. Also you don’t have to be fat to criticize people who insist on looking like the crypt keeper. Even fat people know when someone is to fat.
You know the saying “A healthy mind=a healthy body?” Body image is all in ones head and you treat your body thereafter. It’s really a shame that it has to go that far, and if one chooses to lose weight, don’t let it be because of some distorted image media and fashion houses claim is “fabulous” or “in”. Let it be because you envision a healthier you!
Delilah, thank you for an informative post:) Keep educating us and keep giving us a topic for discussion!
Ummmm I would have no idea that Amy Winehouse was a babe before crack! WoW
Very scary indeed… there is an interesting celebrity dieting report on this site.
I Iike your blog.It was interesting to compare them.I’ll definitely coming back to your blog.
I understand that a lot of celebrities are too thin but that doesnt mean they ALL have a problem. Some of them might but some people are actually naturally very thin. I get told that I look too thin and people make judgements and assume that I have a problem but I just dont gain weight. Being told you look grossly thin can be just as hurtful as if someone called you fat. If the media didnt focus so much on people being thin maybe people would think it was ok to like how they looked regardless of how thin or large they are… Just kinda sad.
At Sally, I just don’t get your way of justifying anearoxia, there are people who r thin yet beautiful and the are those who r fat yet beautiful. This pictures are not enticing at all, like they say “a healthy body is a healthy mind, c’mon Sally don’t misguide our upcoming young and vibrants artists. Your command is rather personal not beneficial…
ermmm in my eyes…..if there were less websites like this and constant magazine reports complaining that celebs are too thin…too fat…too ugly etc then they would feel less pressure to conform to the medias idea of perfection…
suffering from an eating disorder myself i know that you take knockbacks surrounding weight so much harder and so if any of these celebs already had hang ups then the media probably wasted no time in pushing them over the edge…
there is way too much speculation over celebs weight and it seems to be in every magazine i pick up…us average people dont get plastered over the walls with circles round our imperfections so why should they….they have a different occupation which pushes them further into the limelight but we need to give them a break before they crumble.
It’s a real shame that people feel the need to starve themselves. Sure, obesity is a big health problem but so is being anorexia. We all should aim for a healthy balance.
i agree with you thomas! these skinny women are just all disciplined and have strong self-control. those who complain about them should learn the word ‘discipline’ as well , so we all become real humans- stop being lazy whinning pigs!;-(
Looks more like self-hate than self-discipline…. Villana – You sound like whining pig too.
i personaly think it is disgusting to be that thin, i have many friends with eating problems, and trust me it is not pretty.
there is adifferance between being toned and fit and weighin the same as a chowawa.
i personaly enjoy my athletic body, id rather not have the body of a 10 year old
I get saddened seeing these pics. I have gone from healthy to very unhealthy due to anorexia and bulimia. Yes, it is about self dicipline, but too much of anything is bad. I am now much healthier 11 yeas later and married–my husband loves all 140 pounds of me. I see these picture and think how controlled these ladies minds are–beyond the control they think they have.
What’s wrong with these ladies? I think they all do what is called “their idealism” and “their way of life”. Please don’t judge, it’s really hurtful. I’m thin, my BMI is just about 16,5. I’m sad if people tell me I’m disgusting or like a skeleton. I’m healthy! I think the ones who judge the thin people are fat and have no willing to lose gain, but love to have fun by complaining the others (who are thinner)~_~

Darlings, not everyone who comments these fine ladies is fat. It’s just that they would be more attractive if they had some fat on their bones. These celebrities put all their time and money in their bodies because they can. We ‘normal’ people don’t have the time nor the money. Let them do what they want, then we’ll keep busy with our lives.
Its really disgusting to see all of these stars say that being skinny is all in their genes! Yeah, right! Victoria Beckham looks like an immature little boy, yuck! And she thinks she looks attractive?!! Keira Knightley looks like she had an operation to get her boobs removed! Please, gain some weight and look normal again! If not for you, do it for your fans that follow every sick trend you guys throw out there!
As of August 2011, Amy Winehouse has died. I think her pictures should be taken down from this site out of respect for her family and yes, Amy. She lived life on the edge and abused herself terribly. Sad. But no more picking on her.

Too thin isn’t sexy or beautiful because of what you get in return:
horribly saggy skin, yellow and/or missing teeth, hair thinning/hair falling out, looking constantly glazed in the eyes, dramatic body hair growth, thinning of bones that can lead to early osteoporosis or arthritis – you get the point. Being too thin doesn’t look healthy at ALL. It looks like they are at death’s door and aged about 20-30 years in a few months. No thanks.
