 * "fat, ugly and $%&**&@# than winehouse"
 * that is all i am, im on my own in america again. I used to pride myself on being strong minded and not being some stupid girl obsessed with the way I look. I felt like it didnt matter if I was a bit chubby cause, im not a model, I’m a singer. Im afraid I am not strong and have fallen victim to the evil machine. I write to you in a sea of tears from my hotel bed in Seattle, I have spent the past hour researching gastric bypass surgery, and laser lipo suction.- Lilly Allen's Myspace blog entry**//

Being famous can tare a person to shreads emotionally. The media can say harsh things about a person's size that can effect they way the feel about their bodies. The media has influenced many stars to start starving themselves in order to be that size 2. Aren’t real women supposed to have curves?When did the world start having standards of beauty? The pressure to be thin is not only affecting stars like Lily Allen but, regular every day people. The media is showing to fulfill a dream in the modeling business along with working in the entertainment profession you have to be a certain size to achieve success. It seems that the media is taking away peoples respect for themselves and saying that thin is the only way to fit into society. People who are comfortable with who they are postitive role models for everyone. They show that you do not have be super skinny and fit into a size 2 to feel incredible about yourself. These are the types of people that should be on magazine covers. They are showing to the world that beauty comes with within and you have to be confident about who you are. ( Rachel Golub)

  Amy Winehouse is a popular singer from the United Kingdom. Amy Winehouse once a curvy women now, you see a women who has lost her shape with legs as skinny as sticks and bones showing through her skin.  This women looks nothing like she used to look. She looks unhealthy and scary. This is not a person a teenager should be looking at for self confidence about their body.
 * Here are some people potrayed by the media that show bad examples of role models to young girls about their bodies:

"Twiggy is an X-ray, not a picture" - Marshall McLuhan

Twiggy was an icon of the 1960s. Twiggy were young girls' hero and idol. These young girls wanted to be just like her, including her size. She may have had a negative impact on girls about how they perceive themselves. She turned the desire to be thin into the desire to be the thinnest. **
 * Ana Carolina Reston downward spiral started while at a casting, when she was called "too fat". This has been said that this statement had caused her to starve herself. Ana Carolina Reston died of anorexia at age 21. She stood at 5 foot 8 and only weighed 88 pounds. The world of high fashion and modeling encourages women, like her, to emulate rail-thin models. This is a sign for young women that starving yourself is not worth it in the end. **

 Jessica Simpson's weight gain: PW's inaugural 'ShePop' post ** Jan 27, 2009, 03:01 PM | by Jennifer Armstrong "Jessica Simpson's  the new Jennifer Love Hewitt, thanks to some much curvier photos of the pop singer performing at a recent Florida chili cook-off. The pictures have prompted all kinds of internet talk about her weight. If the girl wants to eat chili -- if she finds the country music scene more forgiving of non-stick-figures, if she likes sharing Southern cooking with much-discussed boyfriend Tony Romo -- then God bless her for not starving herself." It is an absolute shame how when a women looks like a twig, the media considers the person to be in"great shape", but when a women looks real, they call her fat. A women should not be judged by her weight or the size of her jeans. Jessica Simpson is a positive role model. With her new weight, it looks as if Jessica Simpson is as happy as she has ever been. She is making a statement to the world that you can be happy with yourself and life no matter what the scale says. (Giana Castellanos)
