But for people in Hollywood, your body is your work, and most of the hard work out Slinky silhouettes. Gwyneth Paltrow, who is 39 and had two children, who often work two hours a day, and Hugh Jackman, 42, hates to work, but do it because it's paid for.

"During the day, very thin and emaciated are over," says Medven. "People are watching an actor, performance, and not their body."
Size 0 is simply "not realistic"
Moreover, the size 0 look is not for everyone, we are told Bromley Weekly, because it does not always look good and it's not very practical. "For a normal woman, you can not afford to have a coach every day, you can not afford to have your meal delivered to your home every morning," she said. "It is not realistic."

The downward trend, as many very large companies artists of the decade of 1980 and Ricki Lake as Tracy Turnblad in the Roly-Poly original 1988, Hairspray.
Today, 23 years, many television roles, a stint as a talk-show presenter and many, many books later, the lake loses again as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars, which began as a dance, but the competition has become a weight loss program again.
"The magazines how are you images," said Bragman, who represents the lake. "When Ricki has lost weight every week, we made an offer. Everyone wanted to put on the cover, as these are best-selling business."
Dancing with less weight
Lake, 43, used 4-5 hours a day of work and practice DWTS and the result is that she lost 12 inches in size, Bragman said.
But that's nothing compared to the 38 inches above the alley gosh obese has lost a step in the program. Now 60, the star weighed over 220 pounds, but she recently told reporters he had lost 100 pounds and is now a size 4.

There will always be the stars with fluctuating weight - is the bread and butter for celebrity magazines.
