Man, there must be some sort of curse over semi-celebrities getting their own MTV reality show. First Jessica and Nick, then Carmen and Dave, and now Shanna and Travis. (misskitty, they're the stars of a reality show called Meet the Barkers. He's a musician and she's a former pageant queen, as I recall - she might have been Miss America, but I could confuse her with someone else. I can't even recall the name of his band, I just know it's not my cup of tea.) Granted, since 90% of all celebrity marriages end in divorce, I shouldn't be surprised, but it's odd.
Moving on to a different, equally original subject: Can you believe how skeletal Kate Bosworth looks these days? I saw some recent photographs of her in a British celebrity mag, and I was shocked. There was a paparazzi shot of Nicole Richie next to hers, and I kid you not, Nicole almost looked chubby next to Kate. According to the same tabloid (I know, I should read some Dostoyevsky or something... but British tabloids are the only English language magazines I can get in Spain), Kate is approximately 6 stone, which is about 90 lbs. Of course, celebrities getting dangerously thin is about as rare as celebrities getting a divorce, but it will never cease to bother and enrage me that grown-up, beautiful women feel the need to literally shrink themselves into oblivion.
To illustrate my point:
She looked even worse when she was on Letterman promoting Superman Returns a while ago, but I couldn't find any pictures.
I guess as long as the money is rolling in, it is easier to overlook things you normally would mind. The image I have of Jessica Simpson is that of Newlyweds, she could very well have been putting on an act for show, but I know I would not stand her being like that all the time. I could have been easier for Nick if he knew that her antics made people watch and therefore at least get money.
Of course all I know is what I watch on TV, which might be very far from the truth, but still, it's all I know.
IMDB has pics of her when Kate Bosworth arrives at Letterman. She is skinny...

One of the saddest (as in pathetic) parts of this is, the damned tabloids are partially responsible for driving these actresses to this extreme, along with the studios and the general public. You know, they print a picture of some celebrity or another who has a bit of a bulge in their t-shirt in the photo and it's "oooh, so-and-so's pregnant. She's not? Then OMG, look how fat she's getting". And the producers tell the perfectly healthy (not to mention good-looking as they are) television actresses that they must, they must, they must lose everything south of their bust. And the public? Oh lord, the public. I've been watching Big Brother and have been reading commentaries on Janelle's enormity. Are people insane? And really, what is it to them anyway? It's not their body, so why do they care so much.Can you believe how skeletal Kate Bosworth looks these days? I saw some recent photographs of her in a British celebrity mag, and I was shocked.

Anyway, I have enormous amounts of respect for the actresses with an "I'm fine the way I am" attitude and more people need to get on board with this.

I remember back in Blue Crsh days, Mr Nerd thought her body was "slammin" 
Now he just calls her a bobblehead with this revolted look on his face.
