Skinny VS Curvy

We’ve had many requests to feature 27 year-old model Amber Rose on the site – the reason: her unique, ultra-curvy figure. Amber recently heard a lot of  ‘you’re fat! lose weight!’ comments, so she decided to reply:

‘I’m 5’9 148. How am I fat? Man, what have I done so wrong? Be to nice? I just don’t get it.’

… said Amber via Twitter.

A few days ago, we had a highly popular post on Ford+ model Marquita Pring, where she promoting the idea that designers should embrace a wide range of sizes and shapes. Marquita is back today to tell us that just like slim model Kelly Brook, she has to work hard to maintain her figure:

How do you maintain that physique?
I work hard to maintain my size. People often think that by being a plus-size model we just let go of ourselves and have no self-control. I work harder than some of the smaller girls. We have to maintain our size and be careful not to fluctuate too drastically, especially when we have consistent clients that need us at specific measurements. I’ve always been athletic, so working out is something I enjoy and do regularly. As far as diet goes, I’m a fairly healthy eater. Love to start my day with oatmeal or Ezekiel bread and fruit. Salads, chicken, and fish are major parts of my diet. I’ve never been a fan of red meat. I also try to be as gluten-free as possible because I find I feel a lot less bloated after a meal. But of course everyone has their own indulgences. Chocolate happens to be my guilty pleasure.

… says Marquita in NY Magazine.

… or at least, that is what In Touch Weekly claims:

With her wedding just a few months away, LeAnn Rimes went on a diet to slim down before the big day – but has she taken it too far?

Although LeAnn’s rep denies the story, according to a course, LeAnn is thinner than she’s been in years, and she’s still losing. The source reveals that LeAnn is a bundle of nerves over marrying Eddie Cibrian, and she’s dieting and working out more than ever before.

“LeAnn is determined to look her best,” the source says. “Eddie likes skinny girls, so LeAnn seems to be dieting to keep him interested.”

During a gathering in their Hidden Hills neighborhood, a witness says that LeAnn sipped water and avoided alcohol.

Regardless of LeAnn’s reasons, she is definitely looking skinniER these days. Check out more pictures of her after the jump!

Kelly Brook admitted that maintaining her figure takes a lot of work and unlike many celebs, Gwen Stefani agrees:

“Maintaining my post-baby body is a daily struggle. I’d like to have no rules and eat what I want, but I’ve learned over the years that I’m so disappointed when I can’t wear the clothes I want to wear.”

… says 41 year-old Gwen in a recent interview.

Lily Allen recently opened up about the struggles she’s had with food – here is her story:

“I used to vomit after meals. It’s not something I’m proud of. But, I tell you what, a lot of people came up to me telling me how great I looked and I’d be on the cover of every magazine. I thought I looked good and it was great to be able to try on clothes and feel a million dollars. But I wasn’t happy, I really wasn’t. I would love to be the skinniest person in the world but I can’t do that without being unhappy — I like food.

People who are famous and successful and live in this mad world tend to die really early, or kill themselves or die in a drugs overdose. I’d rather not so I figure I will go and eat. My idea of hell would be doing this in 25 years’ time. I don’t want to be like Madonna — look at her, she’s mental. No offense but that is not what drives me. I want to get married and have kids and make sandwiches cutting the crusts off.”

… says Lily.
