I Really Hate It When The Media Calls Some Celebrities "fat"!

<_<

Christina Aguilera is one that comes to mind at this moment because my husband and I were sitting in bed drinking our morning coffee. The Celebrity Gossip section comes on and they show a clip of C.A. walking down the street with her entourage. Well, my husband gives out a "grunt" in a good way, meaning he thinks she's hot. I kind of laugh a little bit, and smile. I'm not skinny and really I don't want to be. He says WOW!! She thick, like my Wife.. I laugh again.

Then the News comments on how awful she is because she's "Let herself go" and she is "Fat". I'm not kidding, they really used those terms. I was aghast. CHRISTINA AGUILERA IS NOT FAT!!!

I was FAT! I weighed 330+ Lbs. THAT'S fat. That said, I don't even like the term "Fat" anyway, but that's my problem, no one else's.

I just think the mainstream media needs to stop putting it in our heads what is considered Fat and not Fat. And this calling anyone who wears a Size 8 or a 10 Plus Sized? Really?? It's sickening in my opinion.

Okay, rant over.

This is a little off the original topic, but this is what aggravates me..... Why do shows like "Say Yes to the Dress" have to have special episodes for large size brides called "Big Bliss"? Why can't they just have a larger sized bride on a regular old episode, and not have to point out that larger brides need to be confined to special segments? That, for some reason, irks me !!!!!
