Skinny VS Curvy

Certain celebs speak their mind when it comes to others people’s weights, and it seems that Courtney Love received some weight advice from Gwyneth Paltrow:

Gwyneth basically told her to lose weight: “Sometimes I forget to eat. Right now I’m 125 pounds and five foot, eleven inches (57 kg and 180 cm), but my “rock weight” was 160. I think I’m a sexy beast at 160, but Gwyneth (Paltrow) is the one who told me that if you want to act, and I do want to get back to acting, “You are your own advertisement.”

… says 47 year-old Courtney in a interview for Grub Street New York.

Left – Before: Beyonce before her pregnancy, in April 2011.

Right – After: Beyonce + 50 pounds / 23 kg, a few days before giving birth.

Here’s the full story from People Magazine:

The singer says she gained 50 pounds during her pregnancy – putting on the last 20 during the final month leading up to the delivery – and was determined to bounce back after baby as soon as possible.

“I lost most of my weight from breastfeeding and I encourage women to do it; It’s just so good for the baby and good for yourself,” Knowles, who breastfed Blue for 10 weeks, says. Then, “about a month after” giving birth, the new mom tackled the remaining pounds with a strict diet and exercise routine.

“I counted calories. I worked out maybe three to four times a week,” she shares. “I did a lot of walking in the beginning and now I’m running. But I had to work my way up. I couldn’t just go right from being pregnant to running.”

All the hard work – including “staying away from anything delicious” and no cheat days – has paid off.

“I’m proud that my waist came back so fast. I’m proud of that and happy, but that was mostly from the breastfeeding,” the singer explains.

And not only is Knowles just “three to four pounds” away from her pre-pregnancy weight, but she has also acquired a new softness about her voluptuous body.

“My hormones are still in my body. Your body produces the hormones that make your body soft,” she says. “It’s just magical. It makes me so proud to be a woman because it’s just unexplainable what happens to your body – it’s incredible.”

We all noticed that Chritsina Aguilera gained some weight this past year and it seems that gossip magazines love to speculate on her weight – Star Magazine claims that the singer gained no less than 65 pounds (see cover above):

Star – Sources claim Christina Aguilera is “out of control.” She is “getting wasted a lot and just embarrassing herself.” Among her offenses: She “goes days without ever getting out of bed. She’ll have food brought to her, and she even drinks in bed too!”

Another source says: “Her dressing room is always littered with wine bottles.” And yeah, some stuff is not so nice, like how she left her son, Max, on his fourth birthday, to go get drunk. She and boyfriend Matt (who is “just in it for the ride”) went to dinner, where they had a few rounds of sake, and then to a club, where they ordered bathtub loads of vodka and cranberry and partied until last call.

But even more important than drowning her sorrows in booze is Christina’s weight, amirite? That’s why the mag offers a sidebar called “packing on the pounds.” Contrasting photos from Xtina’s “Genie In A Bottle” and “Dirrty” days — 1999 and 2002 — with current photos, as though any of us weighed the same at 18 years old as we do (or did) at 31.

175 lbs and 5’1.5” / 80 kg at 156 cm puts Christina in the obese range – do you think that sounds plausible? See comparisons below:

32 year-old Coco recently posed in a very minimal ensemble for InTouch and refused help from Photoshop – at the same time, she says that she is currently at her heaviest weight:

“This is the biggest I’ve ever been,” admits the 135-pound, 5’2″ beauty, who splurges on Mexican cuisine when not sticking to her diet of white fish and fruit. “But I’m still confident, because I’m happy inside. And I have a husband who tells me I’m beautiful all the time. I’m going to be doing the splits in booty shorts when I’m 90!” she laughs. “I’ll always be proud of my body.”

… says Coco.

Do these numbers sound accurate to you?

Many of you love celebrity weight stories (with accurate or not really numbers), so here’s one: Christina Hendricks is allegedly 11 stone / 154 lbs / 70 kg at 5’8” / 172cm (putting her in the healthy weight BMI range) and wears a UK size 14. Let’s see the details from The Mirror:

Size: At 5ft 8in tall and weighing 11st, Christina is a UK size 14 and those famous curves reportedly measure 38DD-32-38. But when she started modeling straight out of high school, “I’d done ballet for years and was tiny then, a size 4 [UK size 8], so I didn’t have any problems about conforming to a certain body type. As you get older your body changes. I’ve tried to embrace how I look at every stage.”

Gaining weight: “When I was working in Italy I was having cappuccinos every day. I’d take my clothes off in front of the mirror and be like, ‘Oh, I look like a woman.’ I felt beautiful and I never tried to lose it ’cos I loved it. I was 20lb lighter than I am now, but modelling agencies used to tell me to lose 10, 15, 20lb. I’d be like ‘That’s bone – I can’t. That’s not going anywhere!’”
