A dating website, Beautiful People, has banned over over 5000 members because they apparently gained too much weight over the holidays.
The website has about 500,000 members, all of whom have to go through a ridiculous sign up process. In order to be given access to the website they must be voted by other members on whether they are beautiful or not.
But the site has now changed the approval process by making members of the opposite sex only able to vote on each other, apparently a lot of women were voting other women out so they could cut down on the competition.
Robert Hintze, who founded the website, said “As a business, we mourn the loss of any member, but the fact remains that our members demand the high standard of beauty be upheld, Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model and the very concept for which BeautifulPeople.com was founded.”
Gred Hodge, the managing director of the website says, “We were getting a lot of complaints from members who were meeting with people who gained a lot of weight or who gained weight in their photo albums.”
It really shows the state of the world when a dating site kicks members off for gaining weight over the holidays, if I had been on that site and kicked off I would sue the hell out of them (I swear I’m not bitter… I didn’t even try to sign up and get denied!).

Dakota Fanning has done an interview with V Magazine in which she tells them that she is happy be be able to find into a size zero.
Dakota, who turns 16-years-old next month, says that as she is getting older she is able to get into a size zero without having them alter the dresses to suit her.
The 5’3″ actress said “Now that I’m getting older, I’m finally getting to the point where I can fit into those things.”
She also spoke out about her role in the upcoming movie, The Runaways, in which she stars alongside Kristen Stewart in a biopic about Joan Jett and Cherie Currie of the 70s rock bad The Runaways.
The pair share a girl-on-girl kiss, to which Dakota says “It’s passionate,they were just as close as two could get.’ And as for taking cocaine in the film she says ‘It’s actually crushed B vitamins. Kristen and I were, like, our hair is gonna grow a lot from these.”
I’m not even going to comment on Dakota Fanning being happy to be a size zero because it just shows what all young girls are thinking. As for her girl on girl kiss, this is probably they first I am not looking forward to seeing because she is way too young.

This is just absolutely ridiculous, it has been reported that Mischa Barton was ordered to lose some weight.
Mischa, who recently had a breakdown and was put under involuntary psychiatric care, is said to have been “shocked to tears” at the orders.
She was told to lose 10lbs for her role as a model in her new TV show, The Beautiful Life.
A source said, “she knows that means they are calling her fat behind her back. She knows she is heavier than she needs to be but to hear it like that? it really shook her. How can Mischa play a model when she’s looking so heavy? She’s broken down in tears more than once before shooting. It’s a lot of pressure for someone who is just out of hospital.”
Apparently she is determined to lose the weight as quick as she can, “she’s always been able to lose weight fast. Everyone knows she’s been struggling, so people are just really rooting for her.”
The pictures are off Mischa Barton taking a break on the set of The Beautiful Life in New York City yesterday.

As a top model, Kathy Ireland is used to seeing pictures of herself that have been retouched to hide her flaws. But when the former Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue cover girl saw a photo taken by her son as she baked cookies at the family’s Santa Barbara house recently, the raw image took her breath away.
“He said ‘Mom, you look pregnant. I didn’t recognize the person I saw. I saw someone who looked overwhelmed, overstressed, overweight, over-everything.”
In her latest book, Real Solutions for Busy Moms. Ireland talks about how mothers tend to put everybody else’s needs before their own. Case in point: she had put on 25 lbs. without even really realizing it.
“I was not making enough time to take care of me,” says Ireland, 46, a mother of three kids ranging in age from 6 to 14 and CEO of Kathy Ireland World Wide, a $1.4 billion design empire. She also runs a mentoring program for single teen mothers.
To get back on track, Ireland enlisted the help of a friend, who happens to be a personal trainer and nutritionist. Thanks to healthier food choices, including cutting down on snacking and desserts, plus three exercise sessions a week, Ireland says she’s almost back to where she feels her best.
Does that mean she wants to get back into a bikini?
“No, that’s not my goal. I want to be healthy, to be there for my husband and my kids.”
