Hipocrisy is generally curious. Lets talk about it.
What makes the writers for tabloids so quick and loud to scream on and on about how fat or crazy celebrity A has become, when they could very likely be a mammoth looney themselves(and probably are). What good does it do to point out that a movie star, who has worked hard to get recognition, has gained five pounds...maybe?
Holy crap some cellulite!
And those that are interested to read crappy tabloids? How does a hawkish attempt to bring someone, anyone down in neon pink lettering appeal to you? What are you learning, that you would want to be learning from these hysterical nothings? Would you enjoy tabloids if they were circling your pictorially enlarged upper legs in hot pink and/or green? What if the writers were writing about themselves. THEY NEVER WOULD! Because they're spouting pure demeaning shit.
I saw an article in one that said "who wore it slimmer?". It was a series of skeletal girls/women wearing the EXACT same outfits, which says something about the point our culture is at anyway, and in huge red letters they were either "SLIM!" or "not so hot".
Way to push our already skewed social self-image into a shit pile, again.
Thank you tabloids! Now I'll go throw up to try to be "slim enough".
The very same day I get a link to a woman talking about her eating disorder. She turned to drinking in college to dull the pain of past experiences. Upon graduation she joined the marines, where you can't drink and get... good attention anyway. So she stopped eating, except one small small meal a day, and found it gave her the same dulling effects as alchohol. She was 25% beneath the lowest healthy weight for her height, but people just kept telling her how good she looked. Kept complimenting her on weight lost. It's depressing.
Fuck you tabloids. Maybe I don't want to feel like I should never eat, maybe I don't want to feel like I'm never good enough, maybe I don't want to feel guilty whenever I chew food, or...have an eating disorder? Yes. Whether its anorexia, bulimia, C.A.S., over-eating, or anything else.
I realize I'm not the fist to vocalize this. But it's hard to get around. I also don't want to be overweight! I want to look great etc etc.
I'll end today with something of value i heard yesterday:
"Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted."
the end.

I love it! Very amazingly true. Who are these desk jockeys to say what's Hot or Not? Shouldn't that be left to the individual? These people are just out to make a buck by insulting and demeaning people whose careers make their own look like a russian toilet!(believe me, I know how that looks... and smells! =P) In the meantime though, they are driving people into diets and eating disorders to try to look what they say we should look like to be famous and/or loved...
-Cheez Out-
Just a little blogging tip: Separate your paragraphs with a space and it will be easier for your readers to follow along.
I don't read tabloids, so I had no idea they had gotten so bad! Who wore it slimmer?! Are you effing kidding?! That is just so wrong it burns!
I have a blog about the expectation to be thin in the works, but I don't want to hijack the other blogs about it, so look for it in a couple of days. It's an interesting story.

It's "hypocrisy." Sorry. It's just that it's the first word of your post...

i can't stand tabloids, i actually don't allow myself to buy and womens magazines because they are the same, telling women, and men that who they are is not good enough inless they fit a certain mold. Im very slim and sometimes i even feel fat after looking at some of these covers at the check out lane.
