I believe the term used to describe Selma Blair was "puffy." Obviously that's not the case, and she's always been skinny (a size 2 at the time the remark was made, I think), but she has a very round face which makes her look bigger, at first glance, than she is. The same thing with Kirsten Dunst -- she is bone-thin, but she looks like she's basically at a healthy weight at first glance because her face is rounder.

Brittany Murphy is so freaking hot. Brown curly hair, i'm telling you.

she's not hot, bad actress, and from what i've seen in interviews, doesn't seem very bright either.

Brittany Murphy claimed in an article in either Cosmo or Glamour that she's not anorexic; she just has a fast metabolism.
Now, there's a lot of people out there who are very thin because of a high metabolism (me all through high school). But, as you get older, you tend to gain weight...not lose weight! She looks about 20-30 pounds heavier in Clueless (circa 1995) than she does in this new movie she has out almost 10 years later.

Honestly, I don't understand how she expects people to believe that. She was a normal weight for YEARS (see Clueless, The Torkelsons spin-off, I think I remember seeing her in an episode or two of Sister Sister) before dropping tons of weight within the past year or so. It's got to be either an eating disorder or a coke habit.

Comments re: Brittany's weight are why I began the America and the Weight thread...We are crucifying her for her appearance...but she must need to do it to get more roles....SOMEONE told her she needed to lose weight.....Leo DiCaprio gained weight and no one said crap about him! If that was a woman, she'd be run out of town on a rail!!!

Hahahahaha...the google search came up with this:

And the sitcom was called "Almost Home". :D

oh give me a break!
Leo gained weight, but he gained mass as well. I'm sure if you measure his body specifications according to the body mass index, body fat % or anyother medium he'd fall within what the medical community considers 'normal'. Brittany is sickening, it's like someone told her that calorie-counting is a game of who can hold their breath the longest.

There was a recent article in men's health regarding heart attacks and fitness. In short, it had the super-die hard elite marathon runners having about equal chance(s) of getting heart attacks for older males as the ones who didn't exercise at all. The moral of the story - moderation is king. Too much of anything isn't healthy.

I remember seeing the VMAs or the MTV Movie Awards where Eminem performed... it was when she was dating him and they kept cutting to her dancing... that was the first time I was like whoa, she looks really thin. I personally can't wait to see Uptown Girls-- not because she's in it, but because it looks like a cute movie.

OMG yes that Almost home show that was the best I swore it was called the torkelsons tho oh well maybe no yeah it was called that at first. great show they need to bring it back of course jsut the old episodes like they do boy meets world :) also one of my favs lol Im such a disney channel addict.


Nichole

i remember those shows!!!!!!!! i watched them all of the time!
i am watching britany on 'live with regis and kelly' and she looks much better. i dont know what was up with her in the movie.

Re: Brittany Murphy
 

shes also the voice of luanne on king of the hill

Her Diary was on MTV yesterday before I randomly switched to Channel 4 and realized there was a power outage... she seemed really passionate about life and living it the fullest... I love that about people. I read a favorable review about Uptown Girls-- it got 3 stars and said she can become a major star with this movie... I still have to see it!

She's a good actress. Its good to see hardwork paying off for people.

my mom and my sister saw 'uptown girls'. neither of them liked it. i still only like brittany in 'clueless'
