It will be interesting to see her on SNL this weekend. There seems to be a trend towards skinny chicks - Lara Flynn Boyle even made fun of her being so skinny; then Brittany Murphy (I thought she looked like a heroin addict when she hosted); this year we got Paris Hilton (ugh!) and now we'll see Lindsey - who has hosted in the past. Anyone have some before and after pictures? Here are three for us to compare:
66" and 120#?

PAris Hilton is thin, but never looked sickly to me. Flynn Boyle, Lindsey, Nicole, and the Olson twin all look sickly. So did Calista Flockhart for a while -- she got scarily thin too.

Paris is naturally thin--if you see photos of her from her when she was younger, she had the same body. Her mother looks very much like that, but she has rounded out now that she's middle aged. I suspect the same thing will happen to Paris. Ms. Lohan is another case entirely.

It's when you see someone go from having one kind of body to being a stick figure that is sad.

....And speaking of which, Mamie.... Whitney Houston was one of the few divas not at Oprah's Legends Ball this past weekend. But, she wasn't far from the minds of guests, like her cousin Dionne Warwick, or Miss Patti Labelle, who said that Whitney was in the thoughts and prayers of all the women there. And Whitney is in our thoughts and prayers too. We love a good comeback - Hello Mariah Carey! - and it would be great to see Houston making headlines for her music instead of her crackish ways. Access Hollywood is reporting today that Whitney is finally out of rehab and she is set to go in to the recording studio in ten days with Clive Davis to start working on some new music. They will pick up where they had previously left off - the two had been working on an album together before Houston's most recent stint in rehab. And while the country celebrates Britney and Kevin's Chaotic tonight, we can cast an eye towards next month, when Bravo is set to premiere the much talked about Bobby Brown reality TV show. After flailing around in various stages of development, Bravo has set a firm launch date of June 30th at 10 PM for Being Bobby Brown. The series is set to run eight episodes, and yes, Whitney will be in it. Hallelujah! link BTW, I read that Miss Patti, Miss Chaka, and Miss Natalie (as in Cole) gave an impromptu performance at Ms. Winfrey's fete this past weekend. Oh, if only tape recorders were running!

Amazing...I would kill for the body she has in Kona's post, and she is killing herself to look like she does in Vacanick's post. That's a definite sign of a very destructive cognitive distortion.

I doubt it's a sign of anything except her crazed partying until dawn and what is going up her nose. It's the same thing that happened to that Olsen girl: the press played along with her game that she had an eating disorder but it just wasn't true.

The worst part of all of it was that I was up Sunday morning, and I THINK it is CBS that runs a morning program like the Today show or something. Anyways, they had a segment on Lindsay and Nicole's weight loss. They were interviewing some magazine editors; I THINK one was Teen Vogue, and another was another Teen spinoff mag. One spoke about Nicole, and how her weight loss is just from exercise and a healthy diet, and the other one said Lindsay's weight loss was a bit due to her illness, and then she felt great about it, so she has begun to lose weight in a healthy fashion. What struck me is how often these two women were celebrating this recent weight loss, and how both of them maintained that the girls were losing weight HEALTHILY. I didn't stick around for the end of the interview, as I was so pi$$ed off that these magazine women were perpetuating some pretty terrible messages. I wish I remember what I was watching. I want to say it was something like "Sunday morning early edition" or something like that. It's a show that runs on either NBC or CBS at around 7 or 8 am Sunday mornings. I'll go hunting for a clip, but I'm not sure I'll find it.

I am so looking forward to watching the train wreck that is the Bobby Brown show.

Agreed, Eeyores. I saw that too -- they are both saying that BEFORE they were unhealthy, and now they're at their "normal" sizes and are healthy. I'm sorry, but of COURSE they're going to say that. When Lindsey started to get skinny, she said that Tommy Mottola or someone complimented her on her weight loss and told her she was looking great. She said she thought, "What? Was I fat before?" Of course that's what she thinks. It's exactly the praise that comes once you start to lose weight that makes you keep going and going -- sometimes that's healthy, and sometimes it's completely unhealthy. I know, I did it once. While everyone was telling me how "great" I was looking, I wasn't eating, I couldn't work out, had no energy to even walk my dog, I had severe insomnia, and was miserable on the inside. But I was taking secret pleasure from all the compliments -- because it was the only positive thing I had left. I don't buy it and think both look very sickly.

Well, if Ted C.'s blind item this week is about LL - then she's had her implants removed.

At the Cannes film festival... The Belgian film L'enfant (The Child) by brothers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne won the Palme d'Or. It was presented by Hillary Swank and Morgan Freeman. Tommy Lee Jones won Best Actor honors for his role in the film The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, his directorial debut. The film also won the award for Best Screenplay and portrays life along the Mexican-American border. Jim Jarmusch's Broken Flowers, starring Billy Murray and Sharon Stone, won the Grand Prix. Israeli stand up comedian Hanna Laslo won best actress for the film Free Zone that tries to imagine a borderless Middle East. The festival had an amazing jury comprised of Toni Morrison, Selma Hayek, Javier Bardem, Emir Kusturica, and others I forgot to write down. Thank god for IFC. The 45 minute ceremony re-airs tonight at 8PM eastern/5PM Pacific time.

DeGeneres Cleans Up at Daytime Emmy's Ellen DeGeneres swept the Daytime Emmy awards, winning best talk show host for the first time while "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" picked up best talk show honors for the second straight year. "Oh, man, I love my job," DeGeneres said Friday night during the ceremony at Radio City Music Hall. "It's basically just sitting there and listening to people talking. It's like a bartender." DeGeneres even learned she had a fan from another generation when Merv Griffin, standing next to her as he accepted a lifetime achievement award, whispered: "I watch you every day." Her talk show has won five Emmys this year overall. link how sad that The View didn't win anything. again

I'm thrilled for Ellen. I'm glad she's getting the last laugh. I'm also glad The View didn't win, but that Meredith won one by herself. HAHA! Mrs. Jones-Reynolds is probably still rolling her eyes and bitching, lol!

I watched SNL last night and yes Lindsay is thin ... those boobs are real. When I saw her the first time hosting, she was so funny and fit right in. It was the same last night ... she's a very funny girl. I loved the opening where they actually made fun of all the rumors! I hope the best for her and that she can be healthy!

i saw it too, and didn't think she looked sickly like she did in those pics from the tabloids. she looked great before she lost the weight, i thought, too. like spy said, i'd love to have a body like that! i don't like the blonde hair either...it is too much...maybe a darker blonde like in the top model spoof, but the platinum is just too much. i hope she can maintain her health and that she doesn't lose more weight.

She really didn't look as skinny on the show last night but don't they say that the camera adds 10 pounds?

I didn't think she looked bad last night really. But then she might have just held off on partying for a week or two. That can make a few pounds come back in a snap. BTW, if any prof was needed about her "I'm using a personal trainer" excuse, her jiggly upper arms on SNL give that away as a lie.

Brittany Murphy looked much worse when she was on SNL than Lindsey - compared to that picture. Maybe she didn't go clubbing during her prep week for SNL (the guest host has a busy schedule). And I'm sure craft services made sure all of her favorite snacks were handy. BTW, for 5'6", 130# is average healthy (+/- depending on muscle mass). This month's playboy model claims she is ~5'7", 117#, so go figure. 'squeek'

Tom Cruise declares his love for new girlfriend Katie Holmes UPI News Service, 05/20/2005 Actor Tom Cruise, usually tight-lipped about his love life, told "Access Hollywood" he is so in love with actress Katie Holmes he "can't contain it." "I love this woman," Cruise said in the TV interview to be aired Monday. "She's magnificent." Cruise said he has long admired the talent of the "Batman Begins" and "Dawson's Creek" actress, adding they share many interests. "We go scuba diving together," Cruise said. "She likes all the stuff that I love to do. She's funny and smart." Usually reserved about his love life, Cruise said this time, it's different. "I'm really, really happy and I can't contain it. I'm not going to pretend," Cruise said. http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/articles/story.php?s=1003348

She probably worships the ground he walks on (didn't she have a teenage crush on him when she was preteen and want to marry him?). What man wouldn't initially love going out with someone who gazes at him with absolute adoration and thinks everything he does is absolutely brilliant and perfect. Methinks it will get old really fast though!!!!
