The UK is as celebrity-weight obsessed as we are here in the USA. While I was in Los Angeles last week, I managed to grab a few UK tabloids from one of those international magazine kiosks. Here is a sampling of them:
It seems that the paparazzi has been leaving Kate Moss alone lately, because I rarely see photos of her anymore. But here are some new candids of her, visiting a local pub in her neighborhood.
She looks about the same - thin. Maybe not quite as heroin-chic-thin as her last set of photos, but skinny all the same.
This article is from last week’s issue of US Magazine, but I figured it was worth scanning in anyway. (And yes, I’m now back in NH, so I will be scanning in several articles this week). Hilary Duff has been such a controversial figure in the celebrity weight arena because of the dramatic weight loss she achieved and has managed to maintain.
This article is pretty interesting. It talks about how Hilary lost the weight initially by changing her eating habits and exercising regularly. The story also delves into how she got almost too thin at one point - and how her sister Haylie helped her realize that she was going too far.

And the answer to the latest Guess the Celebrity Legs is…
Rachel Bilson!
I guess I need to make it harder next time. A lot of you got it right…
In a sea of too-skinny actresses and stick-thin socialites, Eva Mendes stands out. Not only is she in fabulous shape (and not too thin or unhealthy looking), but she is obviously comfortable enough with her figure that she posed nude for a recent Jane Magazine cover.
… Mendes refuses to gripe about her figure. “I’m thankful that I’m healthy and that I have my limbs and a nice physique. Of course, there are things anybody wishes they didn’t have or wishes there were more of, but why even bring that up? I think it comes off as bratty.”
Eva also admits to eating junk food, because she enjoys it.
“The combination of tacos and French fries, it’s heavenly. Throw in a shake in there, and you’ve got a party.” she told the press recently.
It sounds like Eva has a generally healthy body image, although I personally can’t understand how people can indulge in junk food with any regularity and maintain a healthy figure. At any rate, Eva is a better body role model than many other celebrities that I can think of…
