I was watching The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last week. Hilary Duff was his guest. She was wearing this floral tube dress top. I don't really remember what she was wearing. I was too focused on how thin she had become.

I loved Hilary in Lizzie Maguire. She was super adorable. But, seeing her on Jay Leno, I wonder what happened to that sweet-looking girl. I know I know, she's not some Barbie doll that remains sweet-looking forever. But, what the eff?! She looks like she has been munching on nothing but parsley for a year. Her cheeks are hollow. Her bright eyes have become deep-set. Her clavicle is protruding by an inch. She looks like a skeletal specimen in Biology class, much like the lovely but equally-skeletal Mischa Barton.

We've seen it before with Christina Ricci. Hilary's case shouldn't have come as a surprise. What's up with those Hollywood stars, anyway? They're famous! They've talent! So, why torture themselves by starving to stay within a certain weight range? Are they not confident enough? Could they not see Queen Latifah? Or Jennifer Lopez, at least?

In the movie The Truth about Cats and Dogs, Noelle [Uma Thurman] explains to Abby [Janeane Garofalo] that even though models appear lusty, inside, they are hollow. They are empty because they are deprived of the better things in life, i.e. delicious satisfying meals. In their obssession to being conceived as sexy, they, most of the time, end up anorexic or bulimic.

Thank God I'm over the thin-is-in belief. Voluptous is gorgeous, baby!^_^
