Demi Lovato Always Had Body Issues

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Child Stars, Features,

Demi Lovato says her body issues began when she was three. The X Factor judge - who has spent time in rehab getting treatment for her eating disorder and self harming - admits she felt she was overweight from a very young age, and the insecurities have stayed with her.

"I remember being three years old in a diaper and rubbing my hand over my stomach ... and I remember thinking in my head, 'I wonder if one day this will ever be flat?'" she said on Katie.

The 20-year-old beauty - who has recently been named as the new ambassador of an anti-bullying campaign - was targeted at school as the girls used to tease her for her appearance. "It played more of a toll on me than if I was physically abused in school. I've always said I wished that they had just hit me in the face and gotten it over with because what they said to me sticks to me to this day and it affected me, (turned) me into the person I am today. I was bullied and they called me fat and they called me horrible things," she added.

Scarlett Johansson: My Sexuality is Boring

Scarlett Johansson thinks her striking good looks are a "by-product of being curvy." The Avengers actress - who plays spy Black Widow the superhero movie - finds her own sexuality "boring" and she tries not to think about it.

"I think that's just a by-product of being curvy. I never think about it, except when I get constant questions in interviews about sexuality. I really have nothing to say about any of that stuff because it's so boring," she said when asked how she feels about her looks.

Scarlett Johansson Has ‘Body Worries’

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Features,

Scarlett Johansson has "body worries." Despite her sex symbol status, the actress star has issues with her figure like all women do, but her all-action role in The Avengers as Black Widow got her into the best shape she's ever been in.

"Every woman has body worries, and I'm not exempt from that. But part of the by-product of spending that much time in the gym is that you can fit into a catsuit," she said.

Scarlett's spy character in the superhero movie is "very bendy and fierce," and the screen beauty had to work very closely with her stunt-double Heidi Moneymaker to get her fight scenes right:

"The idea is that she (Moneymaker) and I become one and we can start and finish each others moves and everything in between. And it's a lot of training and dedication and it hurts and it hurts and it hurts and then suddenly it doesn't hurt and you're getting it right and it's a great moment - you feel like you've accomplished something big."

Karl Lagerfeld’s Apology Gift to Adele

Karl Lagerfeld has apologized for calling Adele fat by giving her a handbag.

The Chanel creative director has reportedly gifted the "Someone Like You" singer with a collection of the fashion house's bags to say sorry for branding her a "little too fat" in a French magazine earlier this year.

"He told his team to send Adele the best the fashion house have to offer after hearing she collected bags. He said he really wanted to make it up to her so they could maybe work together in the future. He could see her fronting a campaign for Chanel Mademoiselle bags when the contract with Blake Lively ends. He's annoyed with himself because he ended up insulting her when he meant to compliment her. He thinks she's beautiful and calls her divine," a source said.

Demi Lovato Slams TV and Movie Industry

Demi Lovato has slammed the TV and movie industry for "glorifying an unhealthy body image."

The 19-year-old singer-and-actress - who checked into rehab in October 2010 to receive treatment for self-harm and bulimia - thinks film and TV companies should "take more responsibility" about the messages their shows and motion pictures are carrying because they are putting "a lot of pressure" on young female viewers to be thin.

"I feel as if television and movies are now glorifying an unhealthy body image which puts a lot of pressure on young girls - and especially girls that are growing up and trying to find themselves. A lot of girls who are young are insecure, and they look to the media and what they see in magazines and everything else to see what they should look like. And I think that the film industry and the television industry should take more responsibility."
