Mischa Barton’s backless white dress at Dsquared2 event

If you’ve been reading other gossip blogs, you might have noticed that these days everyone is picking apart Mischa Barton’s body. While it may be true that she has gained a few pounds lately, I think that’s really her problem, and if she’s OK with showing off her fuller figure in a backless dress, then good for her!

I think we’re so used to seeing pictures of celebrities’ bony bodies, that whenever we see a normal one like Mischa’s, words like “fat” immediately come to our mind. But let’s not forget that this is not fat - she’s actually skinnier than most “normal” people anyway!

Sophie Monk has the healthiest body I’ve seen in a long time

In a world of emaciated models and celebrities, Sophie Monk is one of the few exceptions. She’s definitely not fat, but not too skinny either - she’s just healthy!

I think Sophie could be the perfect role model for young girls, showing them that you can be sexy and fit without putting your health at risk. Not to mention that she looks really beautiful even when wearing workout clothes and no makeup!

What is Eva Longoria’s real weight?

I’m not sure what to think of this. On the set of Desperate Housewives, Eva Longoria looked somehow chubby, showing off what appeared to be a baby bump (or at least a bloated tummy). Then, just a few hours later, she turned into her skinny self again, showing a flat stomach under that beautiful long red dress.

She must have had a pillow hidden under her shirt in that first picture, but still… she looks like a completely different person!

Fergie was ordered to gain weight for her new movie “Nine”

Fergie was told to gain weight for her upcoming movie, “Nine“. The singer, who will play a prositute called Saraghina in the musical that will be filmed in Britain, is actually glad that she’ll be able to eat a lot of British food.

“I actually love (British food). I was actually told to gain weight for the film so I’ve been eating everything - anything and everything. That’s why I am covering up except for my legs because they never gain weight and that’s the only part that never changes but everything else is covered.”

Angelina Jolie lost her pregnancy weight by playing video games

After giving birth, most celebrities try to get back to their pre-pregnancy figures with the help of drastic diets and vigorous exercise. Angelina Jolie isn’t one of them - apparently all she had to do to lose her (almost unnoticeable anyway) baby weight was to use her children’s computer games to work out!

“The kids were convincing her that video games were more than just fun,” according to a source close to Angie. “They explained to her you can do anything from practice math to learn to read music and exercise.”

The source tells OK! that Angie’s eldest son Maddox, 7, was showing his mom — who, along with partner Brad Pitt, also has her hands full with Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, Shiloh, 2, and 4-month-old twins, Knox and Vivienne — the games for their Nintendo DS online when they discovered Let’s Pilates!.

“She tries to get in an hour of Pilates three times a week,” the source says. “She’s picking it up pretty quickly and is already at the hardest setting!” [Source]

That sounds like a healthy and very fun way to lose weight!

Carnie Wilson talks about her weight loss and new pregnancy

Carnie Wilson has announced that she and her husband Rob Bonfiglio are pregnant with their second child. The 40-year-old former Wilson Phillips singer talked to OK! Magazine about finding out she was pregnant again, and how she would stick to her diet and exercise routine while pregnant.

Carnie, who was in a constant battle with weight, lost almost 50 pounds this year.

How did you find out you were expecting?
I was making dinner, and I took a home-pregnancy test. There was a second line, and I jumped and said, “Oh, my god, I’m pregnant!” Lola [my 3-year-old daughter] and I started screaming and jumping for joy. She was so excited!

How did you tell your husband?
I couldn’t get a hold of Rob because he was playing a jazz gig. I taped the pregnancy test to the front door and drew a picture of little stick figures of Daddy, Mommy, Lola and then a little tiny one. I jumped out of bed at midnight and went into the kitchen and I see him holding the stick. He took me in his arms and goes, “Here we go again, honey.” He was happy.

What are your hopes for the pregnancy?
I can’t stop thinking about twins! My sister had twins; my grandmother was a twin and my grandmother’s aunt had twins. I had my first ultrasound and we only saw one sac, but it’s not confirmed that it’s not two because one could be hiding in back of the other…. We’ll see!

How will your condition affect your workouts?
I’m still doing my inner-core strength training. I’m going to increase my walking — instead of three days a week, I’m going to go for five. [Source]

Just for comparison, here’s an old (”before”) picture of Carnie Wilson. The difference in weight is amazing!

Is Taylor Momsen too skinny?

var iamInit = function() {try{initIamServingHandler(420,635,183068,"http://pis.picapp.com/IamProd/Resources/Css/css2.css")}catch(ex){}}()

Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen has recently alarmed some fans with her thin figure, but she says she doesn’t feel pressure to be skinny.

The 5′ 8″ actress, who plays Jenny Humphrey in the hit TV show, said she didn’t even workout, blaming it all on her good genes.

“I’m just kind of naturally thin,” 15-year-old Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen explained to Us Weekly. “My mom’s really thin, and I’m tall. Good genes.”

The 5 foot 8 inch star credits a healthy diet and exercise for keeping her trim, pointing out that she walks a lot in New York City where she lives.

“I just eat healthy. I walk a lot because I live in New York,” she said. “So I try to walk a lot instead of taking cabs.

“I should probably start working out or something,” she added. “I dance, so I guess that’s a full workout. I’ve been dancing since I was three, so I guess that would be it.” [Source]

Eva Longoria talks about her weight gain

Eva Longoria Parker either has a very weird sense of humor, or she’s got some serious body issues. The skinny actress apparently thinks she’s fat!

Over the summer, Eva gained a few pounds for her role as Gabrielle on “Desperate Housewives“, and everyone assumed she was pregnant (because she had what appeared to be a tiny baby bump). Now Eva talks about her weight gain (what weight gain?) in the November 2008 issue of Allure magazine.

On her fuller figure:
“I stopped working out and gained about seven pounds over the summer, which is a lot for a small person. Every magazine is tearing me apart … I never went up a size. I just got rounder. I’m still a size 0.”

On growing up thinking she wasn’t beautiful:
“My nickname was Prieta Fea, which means ‘Ugly Dark one’ in Spanish. I didn’t have a boyfriend. My sisters were so mean to me. They used to say I was adopted, and ‘we picked you up at the hospital. You were the extra baby that day.”

To read the rest of Eva’s interview, pick up Allure magazine’s November issue, on newsstands now.

“Make me look thin!” says Eva Longoria

As if she’s not thin to begin with! LOL! But then, people are used to seeing a skinny Eva Longoria — thus, when pictures of her looking like she gained weight, baby rumors began. And to put to stop to the weight gain talk sweeping the Web, Eva jokingly told the paparazzi recently to make her look thin as she exited her car above.

should fat people be shamed into losing weight?

That’s what Ricky Gervais wants! FYI, he’s a comedian and star of the much funnier British version of “The Office.” He says there’s not enough stigma involved in being overweight, so people (including himself) aren’t motivated to change. He says people should be greeting their hefty compatriots with shouts of “fatty.” LOL! Here’s what Ricky shared to his podcast listeners,

“I don’t think there’s enough stigma. With all the political correctness now, and the fact that food is so refined, there’s no stigma any more. I laugh about being fat but I should be ashamed. I should walk down the street and have people shouting ‘Fatty’. That’s what I want, to get me out of it.”

Ricky Gervais also got some ideas about grocery store layouts, saying all the unhealthy foods should be “behind a thin door” or require crawling through a tube to get to them. He also notes that he has to buy new clothes every three months because he gets too fat for his old ones. YIKES! Now that’s definitely not healthy!
