Is Posh Making Katie Holmes and Eva Longoria Thin?
Has anyone else noticed that Posh’s good friends - Katie Holmes and Eva Longoria - seem to be getting skinnier every time we see them?
The latest issue of In Touch Weekly poses the much-wondered question: Is Posh making Katie and Eva thin?
Click here to read the scanned article.
As ridiculous as the whole thing sounds, it’s actually kind of true. Both Katie Holmes and Eva Longoria (who I didn’t know was Posh’s friend until now) have both lost a significant amount of weight in the last several months…
What do you all think?

eva actually looked good in the before. I wish a heavy celebrity moved to LA and caused these starlets to gain.

i think katie holmes is really really easy to influence. does she have her own brain?

true, but i think eva looks fabulous now. but should not lose more weight.

hell yes, if I were friends with Posh I would diet too! how could you not?? but I really think Eva lost hers for the wedding, and it looks to me like both Katie and Tom have lost quite a bit together….

eva doesnt look any different tight jeans and high heel make ne one look smaller, the article says she has lost 20lbs what a load of crap

the statement that eva longoria has lost 20 lbs is just ridiculous! there is absolutely NO way she has lost that much.a 20 lb loss on someone as small as her would be extremely shocking and she would look like a skeleton. not to say she isnt thin, but i dont think she exactly looks emaciated or freakishly thin.

yeah i’d have to agree with u kristen - im 5′2, 110 lbs & 5 lbs is a shocking loss/gain on me. i’d say maybe 10 at the very most.
& i think katie looks good now - if only she would stay at this weight. & perhaps cut off ties w/ victoria before something goes terribly wrong. is it just me or does it seem like katie & david / victoria & tom would make a better couple?

I say bs. Perhaps Katie Holmes and Eva Longoria have decided on their own to lose weight because they admire Posh’s tiny frame, but I don’t think she’s making them skinny in some kind of forceful way.

It does sound ridiculous and will probably be fiercely denied by all parties but I think there is a large element of truth to it. People are naturally self-involved and don’t like being heavier or uglier than their friends… They either get new friends or go into competition with them (as Eva and Katie are doing). Eva used to be the tiniest girl in Hollywood until Posh arrives so maybe there’s a bit of jealousy? I recently lost a lot of weight and now one of my friends always comes to gym with me and will only eat when I eat and also only eats the same kinds of foods as me, so I can see how this kind of “copycat” thing can emerge between friends. Especially if they (the copycats) are not confident within themselves.

if you were standing next to posh, and were perfectly healthy, you would still look huge. it would cause anyone to feel self conscious.

I don’t think it’s ridiculous to say Eva has lost 20lb. She looks about 110lb before and after she looks about 90lb.
In the first pic, Posh looks like evil psycho barbie : #

Eva looks hot in the first picture. Sporty and sexy. In the second picture she kinda looks like a bobblehead.

Katie, probably. Everybody knows she’s a follower. Eva trimmed down for her wedding. Doesn’t every bride do that?

Vctoria beckham is an absolute mess - yes that girl knows how to dress and yes her husband is HOT - but WTF is up with her - she’s gunna be in a wheelchair by the time shes 50 as I was a thin as her for jut two years (had an eating disorder) which lead be to have profound osteoporosis and organ failure - god knows whats going on INSIDE her body. As for the other two - i can understand the pressure and Im sure most women would feel like that - but there is a thing called ‘taking it too far’ and if they let themselves get like VB (who is purely famous for her thinnnes and husband nowadays) then its gunna be hard getting healthy again as of course - super thinness = lots of stories written about u which these air-heads live for!!

I don’t remember Eva every being bigger than she is now.
Also, I like that their ‘BEFORE’ picture of Katie Holmes is from like 2001 lol. Katie is still SLIGHTLY bigger than she was pre-pregnancy (by like maybe 10 lbs)

i think its just the thing where if you hang out with someone you do the same things as they do naturally.
like more shopping and less eating.. .hee hee
i find my wt goes up or down with types of friends just by going out with them. watching my cals now and i can see women shouldnt eat like men unless they want to weigh as much as them. hee hee
i think its the opposite thing here.
and tim jones…can i borrow you to tell me i am fabulous on fat days?
;)
i think k.h. looks really good in that pic. she lost her little girl chub….
eva looks kinda wierd…little stringy in the neck area…
i think maybe wheni age i would rather have a big bum than a stringy neck. when i was little. that stringy chicken neck thing used to make me cry.
lol
yes..vain even as a child.

I have never like Eva. She has a terrible boyish body and horse face. Katie needs to grow a brain. And Posh needs to get back to her Spice Girls size. Doesn’t anyone remember how pretty she used to be back then? Posh needs to stop looking orange and die her hair brown.

i think katies legs look big.
maybe because she is a taller girl, but her legs are not appealing to me. they are big for how little her top is.

You can tell a difference with Eva’s calves.. unless it’s just the shoes.

hollywood makes people anorexic.
By Shalah on Aug 13, 2007 | Reply
Holywood doesn’t make people anorexic, YOU guys make people anorexic! Any consumer of the products sold by people who are losing weight IS a consumer of weight loss, whether they mean to or not. Any self-respecting anorexic wouldn’t want all her friends to be as thin as her; Posh isn’t MAKING Katie lose weight she’s INSPIRING (thinspiring?) her to. And there’s a contest. You know there is.

There’s a study about how you get fat if your family and friends are too. The study says that fatness is like a “contagious” disease. Well, i think that being shrinking thin is the same fenomenon.
I think that’s a line between being healty and be skinny and these women are passing it.
By Jodi on Aug 13, 2007 | Reply
Damn, Shalah, you beat me to it. No one — not another person or a city, for f*ck’s sake — can “make” someone else thin or anorexic. Can’t these cretins think for themselves? “Uhmm, no Posh, you vapid vapor, I prefer to ingest something a little more substantial than three edamame pods and rainwater, thank you.” Not so hard to do.

Eva was prob being extra healthy due to her wedding and Katie has been working hard on losing baby weight. Blame posh why don`t you.

wow, Eva really has lost weight! I would think that having posh as a friend would make me starve myself. That is human nature, guys

Katie’s legs do look a little big compared to her upper body, but they’re nice and shapely, wheras Eva’s legs just look like sticks.

Oh please, Eva obviously lost weight for her wedding and Katie’s lost weight after her baby. Posh seems to have actually gained some wait.

Katie pb just wanted to lose the baby fat. Eva’s not wearing hany heels and for short girls, trust me, it makes a big diff on leg shape.I think she did lose weight for the wedding but… not as scary as they are making it seem. there using extreme pics for both katie and eva.
it seems so stupid that they are blaming vbeckham for other ppl. eva and katie are old enough to like…decide on thier own…its pb subconsious inferiority complex of ‘’who can be the stick'’

Really, while I think Eva may have lost some weight, the pictures used make it seem like she’s lost a TON. Her shorts hit the thickest part of her leg in the first picture, making them look thicker, but she is barefoot in sand. In the second picture she has on more flattering capries and heels.

Perhaps Victoria should set up a school for women? She’s having a great impact on the physiques of those around her.

Katie lost weight ages ago when she was getting ready for her lavish, ridiculous wedding….after the baby …and everyone said it was b/c Tom was forcing her to “look the part of his wife” Now it’s b/c she’s friends with Posh.
While I agree it’s easy to do what others around you are doing, or not doing, I don’t think this can be blamed on Posh. I hate to sound like I’m taking her side b/c I don’t care much for her….but come on, we all have personal responsibility.
By Mary on Aug 13, 2007 | Reply
Not surprising Katie and Eva have lost weight being around Victoria Beckam. Nobody wants to be the ‘fat’ friend - especially in LA I would imagine.

Posh is gonna look like shit in about 10 years. She’s such a fake. Hopefully Katie and Eva will get bored with Posh’s neurosis.

i think it’s good that katie is starting to “find” herself, but it seems to be in victoria’s shadow - like someone said earlier, she seems to be very easy to influence.

I think the “before” picture of Eva Longoria was just a little unflattering. She has definitely lost weight but she has ALWAYS been skinny. I agree that it can’t be 20 lbs because I’m 5′2 as well and a 5lbs gain or loss is very noticable.
Also does anyone else notice in these In Touch articles that it almost always says that the celebrities waist is down to 26 inches?

Eva definitely looked hotter before; now she looks too skinny. I agree that friends definitely have an influence on how we look, behave and eat. Moreover, women can be so competitive.

Gee, InTouch, we broke a more complex version of this story two weeks ago. Tom’s into this, he’s fostering it, it ties into Scientology, etc. etc….

Sorry, I meant to say - Gee, InTouch, welcome to last month… anyway, yeah. With Katie anyway it’s kinda obvious what’s going on.
By Tammy on Aug 13, 2007 | Reply
Well it’s obvious what’s going on. Posh is constantly dieting and must constantly be around eva + katie. That type of behavior makes you look at your own lifestyle. Whenever my friends complain about their already thin figures, i feel the pressure to lose weight.

Yes but what I am saying is that in the case of Posh/Katie, family members say that Tinfoil Hat Tom is overtly encouraging the self-restrictive behavior.
By noelle on Aug 14, 2007 | Reply
eva has not lost 20lbs, but there is studies that show thin people tend to have thin friends. honestly, even though there’s a lot of hate towards all of them, i’ve always liked eva and victoria (although, katie not so much since she married tom).

I think EVA and POSH are TOO THIN but Katie is fine!
And give me a break Posh is not influencing anyone because if she were then everybody would start getting those rock-hard boobs she has lol.

shalah
you have made my day
i can now start work with a smile on my face
posh has an eating disorder if her friends are thesame (define themselves by their weight) or copying her at least they can support each other in their obsession with keeping thin and as unhealthy as possible
its sad and very pathetic
but its common
women do think being thin makes their lives complete

Shalah, “self-respecting anorexic”? Hmmm. Most anorexics I’ve known (and trust me, I’ve known so many, starting waaaay back in the mid-70s before it became seemingly *all the rage*) have little, if any, self-respect.

Jodi- there’s definitely no respect for the self, but there’s an obnoxious feeling of self righteous elitism that I think makes the disordered individual feel that her thinness is her own, and hers alone. I’m only speaking from myself and the women I’ve known though
I get what you’re saying, and it’s truly applicable to MOST disordered people, but we all can plainly see that Posh isn’t the clinical case of oh-I-must-hide-my-body-so-no-one-will-see-my-bones-I-am-worthless-and-I-must-self-flagellate(in-a-non-sexual-way-mind-you), the girl is flaunting what she’s worked hard to create and I’ll bet she wants to be the thinnest of her group, not a face in the crowd. It’s sort of sad in my eyes.

Look exactly like the pair Katie had on a few weeks ago! The same pair that were attributed to Victoria!

I think Katie looks good. I think Eva looks disguisting! I ususally think she is so cute, but lately she just looks sick. Like a 10 year old little boy.
By Luna on Aug 14, 2007 | Reply
I think Katie looks fantastic, she doesn’t need to lose any more weight, and Eva, I assume, just lost the weight to look her best for her wedding- she wouldn’t be the first bride… As for Posh, i really have no words…

By FW on Aug 15, 2007 | Reply
I noticed Eva looking skeletal lately, I figured it was wedding stress (everyone wants to lose 20 pounds for their Big Day it seems). Since Katie’s marriage she seems almost desperate to be friends with someone and Posh seems to be the only one Tom “approved”. Katie doesn’t look as skinny as she did before the baby. Her face looks really different though. Don’t know if it’s the hairstyle or the weird expression. Posh is a horrible example for a grown woman with a child to emulate. How do you teach your children tot eat properly when you don’t? How to you teach your children to behave when you’re priorities are shopping and more shopping?

Eva did lose weight.. but more muscle tone that she lost. Look at her calves, the muscles are gone and are just plain thin now.
Perhaps she used to workout a lot, but now just controls what she eats and no longer exercise?
