August 2, 2011 in Beauty & Body Image, Celebrity Quotes, Freida Pinto by Versus

Stunning actress Freida Pinto recently discussed with The Independent about a delicate issue: Indian women’s obsession to get lighter skin. Let’s hear her out:
“It’s completely wrong medically – and culturally, of course, because it’s giving people the wrong idea. My friend who’s a doctor told me that she’d have parents come in with kids who were three years old, saying, ‘Do something – I want my baby to be fair.’ It’s just this thing that people [in India] are so fascinated by white skin. There’s a lot of people there who are naturally really pale. But the whole idea that you have to be fair – without naming actors, but there are actors who admit it – the fairer you are, the easier it is.”
Even within Bollywood? “Oh yeah, absolutely. The amount of pancake cream on your face is ridiculous. I don’t think it is required, by the way. If a cream can give you confidence then you really have to check your whole confidence department in the first place.”
… says Freida.
What do you think about Freida’s revelations?

June 15, 2011 in Celebrity Quotes, Fergie by Versus

Fergie on her age: “I’m definitely young at heart, and I always will be, I’m just trying to age gracefully.”
On her body: “I think people think that I’m pregnant sometimes because my weight fluctuates. But I have a meal-delivery service; Diet Designs. They’re amazing – they’ll have butter lettuce and avocado and pink grapefruit. They do butternut-squash enchiladas, which are really good. I also get these pressed juices delivered to my house, so I get all these different and wonderful vegetables. My problem is my discipline. I see a Jack in the Box or a Del Taco, and I will impulsively want it. I’m a work in progress in that area … I gain and lose weight everywhere from the thighs up.”
On her looks: “I’ve learned to love my nose because it’s unique. It’s interesting, and it just makes me a little different.”
… says Fergie in Allure Magazine.
