And I missed this bit of news


Starting with Celebrity Smack:


Hilary Duff Looks Sick

Her skin is pale, her eyes hollow, not to mention that she has NO body to speak of anymore....



Celebrity Smack also includes a picture.

From Blue Kat:


Hillary Duff was a sweet-faced teen starlet. She had the makings of a great beauty, should she survive the usual peer pressure and teen angst to be perfect; who seemed to be comfortable in her own, non anorexic skin. Well, it seems that young Ms Duff has succumbed to just that pressure....


Blue Kat includes before and after pictures.

And then there's this post, but I can't tell if it's a parody or real:


okay the point is...at first i was thinking "at the beach im gonna forget all about this whole thing and still be worrying about my weight and what i eat but just have fun and starve" now i see it as "im DETERMINED to lose weight when i get back so i am going to be EXTREMELY careful while im there so i can have fun and stay out on the beach so i try not to worry about what i eat because i wont have time to eat, i'll be out on the beach and around the town all day. and when i get back i'll be TAN and hopefully will have dropped a few pounds....

oh OHMYGOSH how much weight as hillary duff lost! she looks SO much better! calves and arms are still a bit chunky but the rest of her looks really skinny! shes got like major collarbones now, and a lot more "narrow" face. she looks great(ish)!

there was this thing on hbo that was like in the middle of 2 shows and it was about teen anorexia and bulimia and they were saying the "warning signs" and my mom was like "natalie now im scared that sounds alot like you" and i was like "ha umm are you kidding.." and then turned the channel really quick. i think she forgot about it but WHOA i got nervous for a second.



But if this PSA is to be believed, Hillary is just eating healthy:


Perhaps this explains Hilary Duff's incredibly shrinking body: She's participating in an anti-obesity campaign to encourage kids to eat right and exercise via a PSA that will hit the airwaves in California this week.

"Even though I spend an hour in the makeup chair before each show, that alone isn't going to make me look good," the singer says in the upbeat radio message. "All the makeup in the world can't make up for poor nutrition. ... I have to stay fit and eat right because, hello! What goes inside is going to eventually show on the outside."

Initiated by the California School Nutrition Association, Duff's PSA is but one part of a campaign called "Stay fit. Eat right. Looking good, California!"....The campaign's Web site, StayFitEatRight.org, also includes healthy-meals recipes for kids as well as forums for them to put forth questions to chefs and personal trainers....

Duff, who recorded two versions nine months ago, also espouses in the PSA the virtues of healthy snacks such as fruits or vegetables, "because they love me as much as I love them," as well as eating well-balanced meals. She tells listeners they'll be able to find what they're looking for in the nutritionist-planned meals available at public school cafeterias, which is "like having your own private chef watching your diet."



Apparently the CSNA doesn't perform any research before selecting its spokespeople.

That is so sad. I struggled with anorexia for over 10 years. At the worst, I weighed 73 pounds and that was in college. The paramedics carried me out of my apartment kicking and screaming, because my goal was 70. Now I have an 11 year old daughter (who loves Hilary Duff, btw) and I'll tell you, it's so scary. Our culture makes it very tough for girls. Thanks for another great post.

Interesting post! You can only hope she's eating healthy! We all should. It makes a huge difference in weight control - as well as many other attributes of health -like clear skin, bright eyes, shiny hair, strong teeth and bones, a positive outlook on life... and more.
