Lady Gaga: You Don’t Need to Look Like a Supermodel to Be Great

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Clothing, Style, Features,

Lady Gaga has urged women to stop worrying about their weight because people who achieve great things do not have to look like "supermodels."

The 27-year-old pop superstar has suffered with fluctuating weight throughout her career and has been criticized for being both too thin and overweight. But Gaga has dismissed society's obsession with women's figures and insists it's time people concentrated on what they're going to do with their lives rather than what they look like.

"I want to remind everyone that people who win Nobel Peace Prizes and cure diseases are not supermodels. Your legacy does not need to be a perception of beauty that's not realistic," she said in February's Fashion Magazine.

Although Gaga is now one of the world's biggest singers she insists she would still be wearing eccentric outfits and pushing the boundaries of pop if she was an unsigned artist playing in bars and small venues in her native New York City because music is her life. "There's this implication that if I wasn't so successful I would have to stop. But I never would have stopped. I would be in some bar; being Lady Gaga," she explained.

Jenna Dewan-Tatum has jumped to the defense of Kim Kardashian. The 32-year-old American Horror Story actress - who is set to give birth to her first child with her Magic Mike star husband Channing Tatum in London this summer - tweeted a special message in support of pregnant women just days after supermodel Helena Christensen lashed out people for criticizing Kim's weight gain and maternity style.

Writing on her Twitter page on Monday, Jenna urged her followers to be more compassionate to women like Kim, saying, "Let's all be kind to every woman out there who is expecting. It shouldn't be about how much weight someone has gained, their fashion etc . . . it's a beautiful amazing moment in time and not about vanity."

Lena Dunham Happy with Her Looks

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Dating, Features,

Lena Dunham is happy with her curvy figure. The Girls creator and star - who is dating fun. guitarist Jack Antonoff - claims she wouldn't like to have the body of a Victoria's Secret model like Miranda Kerr and Alessandra Ambrosio because people would always be staring at her.

"There would be all kinds of weird challenges to deal with. I don't think I'd like it very much. I don't want to go through life wondering if people are talking to me because I have a big rack. Not being the babest person in the world creates a nice barrier. That said, I probably would want to see if I could get free food at restaurants. Then I'd call a doctor and see if she could return me to my former situation," the 26-year-old actress told Playboy.

Lena also revealed her taste in men has changed in recent years but she is now madly in love with Jack, whom she began dating last year: "When I was younger, I liked men who gave me some guff. Now I'm much more into someone who is interesting and open with his emotions, has a really good sense of humor and a passion for what he does, wants to hang out with my parents and doesn't want to stay out too late. If I can get excited imagining funny things he did as a kid, there's a pretty good chance I'm in love with him."

Zooey Deschanel Slams Skinny Actresses

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television,

Zooey Deschanel thinks that Hollywood stars are too thin. The New Girl actress isn't a fan of the recent trend of stick thin actresses and thinks many of her contemporaries look "much, much too skinny."

In an interview for the February 2013 issue of Glamour, she said, "Actresses have definitely gotten thinner over the course of my lifetime. Women I admired growing up - Debra Winger, Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep--were all beautiful and thin, but not too thin. There are a lot of actresses who are unhealthy-skinny - much, much too skinny. You can't Pilates to that. I'm a very small person, and if I lost 15 pounds, I'd look like them; it's scary. For young girls, what does that say? You need to look this way to be successful? That's not true. You do not need to look or be anorexic to be successful in Hollywood. The range of what's acceptable is larger than what people believe."

Zooey also revealed her parents and grandparents are her relationship idols:

While The Voice co-stars may bicker on-screen, Adam insisted they have a close relationship and he won't let anyone say anything bad about the singer, who has recently come under fire for her fuller figure: "It's not cool.

Quote of the Day: Tia Mowry on Losing Pregnancy Weight

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Television, Pregnancies,

"I was shocked that my belly didn't completely go down. I was so used to seeing so many women in the media flaunting their bodies 4 weeks after having a baby -- and kudos to those who have genes that they can get right back into shape 2 weeks, 4 weeks after having a baby. But that never happened to me, and I remember going to my doctor asking why. 'Why didn't my belly go down right away?' And she was like, 'Tia, it takes up to a year.' So, I wish somebody would have been honest with me about that."

Jennifer Lawrence Hates Hollywood Weight Pressure

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Rants,

Jennifer Lawrence won't lose weight for her career. The Hunger Games actress hates the pressure in Hollywood for female stars to conform to an ideal of beauty and be a certain size and she refuses to be made to feel overweight for eating normally.

"Oh god, yes, I'm so tired of the lollipops. I mean, if I looked like that I wouldn't be tired of it, obviously, but it's hilarious, the way I'm supposedly the overweight one. Like, they (the paparazzi) got me at the movies yesterday and the caption read something like, 'Curvy star cannot wait to dig into a tub of popcorn.' I mean come on! I'm just a normal girl who likes to eat! At least they got me using my hands," she ranted.

The 22-year-old blonde beauty takes the responsibility of playing teen idol Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games very seriously and wants to be a good role model to her fans, but admitted she has little in common with her tough on-screen alter-ego and is far from a natural leader in real life. "I guess people expect that of me, and if I had to kill something for survival, maybe I would and yeah, maybe I was a tomboy when I was growing up. But I'm definitely a girl now... Of course, there's a responsibility I'm aware of. In one sense, luckily, it comes naturally because I can't stay out beyond midnight. I don't really have an exciting life. But if you mean, am I natural leader? No. I just appear that way," she told British Vogue.

"With [Lady Gaga], she gains [25] pounds and it becomes this huge thing. She was so freaking skinny that [25] pounds would make her a what, size two? There's an insanity here. I know it's a pressure on her. I know it is. It's really hard to play that game," she told People.
