From voluptuous vixen to skinny celeb

In today’s celebrity world, the women are diet crazy as they shed pounds in a week on ridiculous, unhealthy diets. 

From the baby food diet to the water diet, these supposed role models are fading into nothing as many of us try and copy their superslim look.

While many of us think that this look is the right way to be, you should take a glance at these celebrities who have taken a turn for the worst, and see what you think is more attractive.

The British actress is constantly fighting rumours that she is anorexic, after a family history of her grandmother and great grandmother suffering from the illness. Keira insists she is not battling the same problem and is naturally skinny anyway. Lucky her!

Although the pictures don’t show much difference, you can definitely see the great difference when she has a little bit of meat on her. Come on Keira, swap a salad for a pie!

 

4. Terri Hatcher

The Desperate Housewives star once had a beautiful curvaceous figure that most women would die for. Now, since entering back into the spotlight, the actresses weight has dropped dramatically to keep up with the constant battle in the celebrity world of skinnyness. 

The star definitely looks healthier and happier  in the second of these to pictures. STOP RUNNING TERRI AND GRAB A CHOCOLATE BAR!

 

3. Victoria Beckham

The former Spice Girl may have improved her fashion sense, but definitely lost the plot when it comes to her eating habits. While we envy women who quickly loose the weight after three children, we definitely don’t approved when they turn super thin with all their bones on show!

Victoria has always had a petite figure, yet her recent size zero look makes her look like a walking skeleton with massive implants! Not really that sexy Victoria! 

 

2. Nicole Richie

The reality show star shrunk to a pint size celeb in 2006, feeling overweight after the series of The Simple Life, with skinny co star Paris Hilton, had ended. 

The mother-of-one shrunk to a tiny size zero and shocked the nation with her rib cage and skinny legs out on show while out on the beach with friends. 

Nicole admitted at the time that she was aware she was underweight and planned to get healthy while she had her baby. 

 

1. Angelina Jolie

The sexy US actress dramatically lost a lot of weight after the death of her mother in 2007, who died of ovarian cancer. The star admitted she was struggling with the death of her mother, while at the same time looking after her four children. 

The star insisted that she has always been lean, and gets annoyed when people claim she is trying to fit into skinny jeans and enjoys being thin. Angelina said that someone telling her she is thin, is not a compliment.

British actress Keira Knightley is seen suffering a severe beating in a new advert campaign to highlight domestic violence.

 The two-minute long advert for the charity Women’s Aid, sees the Pirates of the Caribbean star  being brutally attacked by her boyfriend after she returns home from a film set.

 Women’s Aid hopes the adverts, starting tonight, will demonstrate that women from all walks of life can suffer abuse.

The ad, which is directed by Joe Wright, who worked with Keira on Atonement, is based in an empty film set. As the camera pans out to show Knightley cowering from the beating on the floor, a strap line reads: “Isn’t it time someone called cut?”

 Keira, 25, said: “Domestic violence kills two women every week but we rarely hear about it.”

The advert, made by Grey London, will be shown in cinemas before 15-rated movies from 2 April, and will also be shown on television after the watershed.

Oscar Awards 2009

425slumdogmillionairecast012509Brit film Slumdog Millionaire bagged eight trophies at the Brits including best picture, direction, adapted screenplay and cinematography and these awards cement the reputation of Fox Searchlight as a champion of work that Hollywood won’t risk.

The film Slumdog Millionaire is a love story which has successfully combined an artists ambition but the commercial appeal of the film is broad and most can relate to the film, it will cover all genre’s of tastes and has already appealed to many already, and this is reflected by the films wins on the night winning eight Oscars, including the best picture trophy.

The 81st annual Academy Awards marked an amazing outcome for the movie, which was filled with subtitles, scenes of torture and a Bollywood dance sequence, and these wins give the distributor Film Searchlight a amazing reputation which has resulted in it becoming Hollywood’s top advocate of the kind of daring works that movie studios have all but abandoned.

The director of Slumdog was Brit Danny Boyle, and he captured the fictional account of a Mumbai orphan’s surprising winning streak on India’s version of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire”, from which he tough upbringing in the Indian slums resulted in him having the experience and knowledge to win the show, which was constantly questioned throughout the process of winning – as he was accused of cheating by the government and tortured to try and get him to admit he was a cheat. 

The film was produced by a British company and the wins for the film have dramatized the global compass reading of contemporary movie production, as other top Oscar winners showed. 

kate-winslet_1342366iThe best supporting actress winner was Spain’s Penelope Cruz for “Vicky Cristina Barcelona”; Australian actor Heath Ledger was posthumously named best supporting actor for “The Dark Knight”; and British star Kate Winslet won best actress for “The Reader.” The only acting winner with a U.S. birth certificate: Sean Penn, who played the title character in “Milk.”

The genre of films has appeared to change recently and the big movie studios are steering clear of highbrow literary dramas, aiming their resources at mass-appeal works including family-friendly animation, superhero stories and established franchises such as James Bond and Harry Potter.

As others have ditched movies that require patient marketing to build grass-roots audience interest — “Slumdog Millionaire” debuted in just 10 theaters last November and didn’t reach its widest national release until last weekend — Fox Searchlight has become Hollywood’s unequaled home for films made outside the normal studio channels, the domestic gross from Slumdog is estimated at $100 million. 

Danny Boyle briefly spoke about the film backstage saying: “It’s a triumph for this kind of film.”

Keira Knightly: I’m naturally Who I am

keiraknightley-300x2111

Stick-thin Keira Knightley has reportedly ordered studio bosses from digitally enhancing her cleavage.

The 23-year-old actress – who has starred in Pirates of the Caribbean, King Arthur and is filming ‘The Duchess’ – is supposedly “proud” of her modest assets and doesn’t want them changed for publicity shots.

A source said: “She has insisted that her figure stay in its natural state. She is proud of her body and doesn’t want it altered.

“But she looks flat-chested throughout the whole movie.”

Keira’s decision comes after her breasts were enlarged for posters and in publicity stills for her 2004 movie ‘King Arthur’.

She said at the time: “Those things certainly weren’t mine! I was like, ‘OK, fine. I honestly don’t give a s**t!’ “

Keira previously revealed she would like to have larger breasts, adding: “I would love to have boobs! I’m never going to get them. I’m naturally who I am.”
