You know what I hate? Reading about how such-and-such celebrity put on 20 whole pounds OMG to play a role... and I don't even see it.
Really? Kath & Kim is Selma Blair 20 pounds heavier? What was she before, a skeleton? Similarly, I remember watching Firefly for the first time way back when and thinking to myself that Kaylee (Jewel Stait) has a rather healthy looking body. I thought to myself, "I should strive to be a similar body shape because she looks cute." And then I learned that she had also put on some amount of weight (I bet it was 20 pounds!) for that role and she hated it! And I was like, well shit! My slender aspirations are to still be fat, apparently! Can't ever win!
And I also hate how people are always like "Oh she's so brave to be putting on so much weight blah blah blah" when an actress does this.
Excuse me now, I think I need a cinnamon bun.
