There is a weight problem going on in America today. Everywhere you see it. Either its signs educating you on childhood obesity or its rail thin “fashion sense” of the supermodel industry. I really liked the exchange during Knocked Up where Katherine Heigl is being offered a job as an on air personality and the producers are trying to tell her to lose weight. Yeah. That’s awkward. Heigl is maybe 112lbs soaking wet, and to be more appealing on air she has to lose weight.
Well I tripped over this bit on MSN this morning trolling the gossip section of MSN and found that Michael Bay doesn’t like skinny chicks, so he ordered her to put on some weight for Transformers Revenge of the Fallen
For 2009’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, director Michael Bay ordered her to gain ten pounds in three weeks. “I have a serious sugar tooth, so now I eat red-velvet cake before I go to bed every night, and if you eat meals later, you’ll put on weight faster, so I had dinner at 10 p.m.,” she says. Eat cake, look like Megan Fox. Ok, got it.
I so agree! That girl needs a sammich!!
Sadly for her role in Diablo Cody’s Jennifer’s Body, she was instructed to lose weight. Because apparently if you tip over the 100lb mark you are unappealing! Bay strikes a chord so close to my heart. Let her eat cake! Forget 10lbs. Put on 20lbs and stay healthy.
Slim can be pretty, and there are plenty of girls out there who are slim that look great. But when you hear that some waif is being instructed by her director to get smaller, there is something wrong. And her dieting advice was starvation. Just don’t eat.
I think Megan Fox is beyond hot. But it has nothing to do with her size -2 waistline. I quite think a few pounds would fill her out a bit more and she would be hotter. As my rule of thumb, if you can see ribs you are not eating enough.
Marilyn Monroe was a sex symbol in her time. Fuck that… she was THE sex symbol. No one oozed sexual presence like Marilyn. And she was reportedly 160lbs at 5’6″. So when did half that become the standard?
Let’s protest the waif.
