While I’m pretty obsessed with dlisted, I don’t normally visit Perez Hilton, but today I found myself there reading about how Julianne Moore basically starves herself to be “the right size” for Hollywood. No surprise that, as I sit here munching away on chocolate covered pretzels, that this makes me mad and sad. I want to stomp my feet and say when are we going to change our standards of beauty, and why does skinny almost always equal sexy? Anyone who has seen a woman like this woman (April Flores, aka Fatty D) knows that sexy and beautiful come in way more than just a size zero or two.

So when are we going to start answering back? As consumers, when are we going to start demanding more and not less, of our actors and other “personifications of beauty.” The fact that a forty-something mother of two thinks she has to survive on granola bars and yogurt to stay relevant in the entertainment industry makes me not want to watch another movie ever again.
