Apparently, Howard Stern said the Precious star is too fat for Hollywood. People are pissed and are disputing it. Really? Really? You're going to disagree? I was listening to a interview on NPR with the director of the movie. He said he told his casting director he wanted a 300 pound girl and the other line went silent. There simply weren't actors of that size on the docket. Also, the mom of the movie was supposed to be larger than the daughter. But they hired Mo'Nique despite her smaller size. I'm pretty sure they couldn't find an even larger actress. Let's be real here people. Just because it's wrong doesn't mean it's not true. Lots of things are wrong and shouldn't happen and shouldn't be true... but the fact is... they're true!
That skinny chick who does events with Ryan Seacrest and has her own show with her husband wants to have a baby. I haven't watched all the episodes, but I did watch the one where they babysat for 24 hours, didn't get any work or anything done, did it all the next day sans children, and said they could handle their lives as they are now with children in them. That's the shit you hear on 16 and Pregnant. Her Dr. told her she needed to gain 10 pounds for her body to be ready for a baby. She has stated in interviews that she is wary about trying to gain 5. Maybe she has body image issues or an eating disorder. Or maybe she has clauses in her contract that say she cannot get fat. I wouldn't be surprised.
The womanly image of Hollywood has changed over time, indeed. But just because curves are mildly more acceptable nowadays doesn't mean a 300 pound actress is going to be inundated with job offers.
On TV and in Movies men can be fat, women can't. Unless they're losing weight. What Howard Stern said was mean. But that doesn't mean it wasn't true. I didn't see the movie. I'm sure she's a wonderful actress. But I'm also positive that if she hadn't been in that movie with those other big name stars, no one would give 2 shits about her.
Eventually, The View started naming all the fat lady actress. I think they named them all on one hand. Even those women, except maybe one, have never been 300 pounds. Even in plus sized modeling, there is a weight limit. Then they all got pissed because Howard Stern said Precious would end up killing herself being fat. Obesity is a cause of death. I agree! Being famous doesn't mean you're healthy and immune to death. Tons of famous people die from being unhealthy! You can't say that being morbidly obese is healthy!
I love fat people. I love that it's taboo to think food is addictive. I love that when someone is a drug addict or an alcoholic, no one goes on tv to say that what they're doing is OK and we shouldn't criticize them for being different. I hope I'm still alive when morbidly obese people go on Intervention.
As a side note, oh Heidi Montag. LOL
