Something revolutionary happened on Monday. Starting at the beginning of next year, the popular German magazine Brigitte will no longer hire models to pose for their magazine.

Posted in Body Image, Celebrities, Culture, Health, Magazine, Media, Media and body image on September 30, 2009 | 10 Comments »
Last year Jennifer Love Hewitt got a lot of flack from tabloids for “packing on the pounds.” She triumphantly responded by telling the media to “stop calling me fat” and told those tabloids to mind their own business. But low and behold, a year later, Hewitt is on the cover of Shape sporting her “new [...]

The other night I saw the documentary that is currently in theaters about the fashion magazine Vogue and it’s prominent Editor in Chief, Anna Wintour.

I just found out that my favorite new Saturday Night Live cast member of last year, Casey Wilson, was recently fired from the show and will not be coming back this season.

Kids and Dieting: it’s not just the “media’s” fault.

The article compares their views then with what they think now as adults, 23 years [...]
