We’ve had many requests for this story, so here you all go: a 30 year-old model that weighs just 84 pounds, looks severly underweight and has a waist of 20 inch says she eats junk food 3 times a day. Let’s see the full story from Radar and IBTimes:

Romanian model Ioana Spangenberg has a freakish figure: She has a natural 20-inch waist in contrast to her 32-inch hips. At 84 pounds and with her wide hips and tiny waist, the 30-year- old model has been dubbed by the UK’s The Sun newspaper as “the human hourglass.”

Spangenberg said she eats three square meals daily but cannot gain weight in her mid area. She said when she was 13 years old her waist was around 15 inches wide.

“Someone could put their hands around it, their fingers would touch and they would still have extra room,” she told The Sun.

“No one seems to believe it, but every day I eat three big meals and I snack on chocolate and crisps all the time,” Spangenberg added. “I just have a small stomach. It’s a bit like having a natural gastric band – if I eat too much, I feel sick.”

Spangenberg told the paper that when she was in her 20s she struggled with her self-esteem.

“In Romania it is better to be overweight, because that means you are from a wealthy family…so while my friends were going out and dating, I was sitting at home with Mars bars wishing I could fatten up,” she said.

Last month, we had a story that claimed that Angelina ‘feels too guilty too eat’ (see it here) and it seems that the gossip on the brunette beauty’s eating habits never stops. Star magazine claims that Angelina is only 98 pounds / 45 kg and headed to rehab – Let’s see the full story from the magazine:

Angelina Jolie is working so hard that she may be risking her own health and the health of her alleged baby, according to Star magazine.

A source tells the mag that the never-ending mix of Angie’s charities, promoting her directorial debut film — In the Land of Blood and Honey — being a mom of six, AND pregnant with another kid on the way has caused her to near a severe breakdown.

“Angelina hardly ever eats, and she rarely gets more than four or fice hours of sleep a night. And she gets terribly depressed, to the point where she is inconsolable,” a source tells Star. “Angelina’s been very emotional lately and cries at the drop of a hat… Everyone close to her fears she’s biting off more than she can chew. They’re afraid she’s on the verge of suffering a completely breakdown.”

Lindsay Lohan’s little sister Ali is on the body gossip radar these days – the reason? Her shrinking figure, as seen in 2 recent batches of pictures that show off her super skinny look. Here’s what Radar has to say about her new body:

“She looks like a death camp survivor,” nutritionist Majid Ali (who has not treated the star) told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview. “It appears as if she is wasting away as her body chews up muscle looking for fuel.”

At 5’8 1/2″, Majid thinks that Ali is severely malnourished and estimates her weight to be 90 lbs at the most.

“It seems more like a starvation diet than binging and purging,” he explained.

The younger Lohan turns 18 on December 22, but her gaunt face, sunken cheeks and ashy complexion make her look much older than her years.

“Malnutrition will prematurely age her,” the nutritionist revealed. “It tears down tissue collagen and leads to wrinkles, poor skin, limp hair and bad nail quality.”

Back in 2009, Ali looked like this:

15 year-old Julia Schneider from Sweden won the prestigious Elite Model Look Contest last week in Shanghai – and her success started a controversy, as various sources noticed Julia’s super thin frame and waif-like look and blamed the fashion industry for promoting, once again, extreme thinness. Certain voices (such as The Montreal Gazette’s Lens) even called the Swedish teen ‘a model for anorexia’ and other harsh words and noticed that the other contestants all looked ‘healthier’.

What is your take on this?

And another issue: Do you think 15 is too young to participate? What should the age limit be when entering such modelling competitions?

In 2009, Jaime King was one of the actresses that had the public worried for her extreme weight loss and super skinny figure (picture on the right). We haven’t seen much of her since then, except at an event where she appeared much healthier in 2010 (see the post here) and today, she has an explanation for her yo-yo-ing – from Daily Mail:

Actress Jaime King, 32, admitted that she developed an obsession with having a 20-inch waist in the early Nineties, when the super-skinny heroin-chic look was in vogue (indeed, she did more then just look the part – for a time she even became addicted to the drug).

‘I grew up in Hollywood, and my whole life I’ve believed that I have to look like a 14-year-old.

‘I’ve had this weird expectation that I should weigh 118lb even though I’m 5ft 8½.’

Even today, though she is addressing her problems with a nutritionist, she admits she ‘eats like a toddler’.She says she exists on ‘little bites of lots of different things, like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, turkey bacon, oatmeal and chocolate-covered pretzels.’
