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.

I can’t believe I’m admitting this, but I think Mischa Barton is looking kinda hot in these pictures for FHM Magazine.
Mischa, who has faded out of her celebrity status came under fire for being too skinny recently, but like I said – I think she looks hot in this photosoot.
As for those stories of her being to skinny, the former O.C. actress writes on her website, “lately there’s been a lot of crazy press about my weight and just so you guys know I’m happier and healthier than ever so there is no need to worry about me. Things are really well in Mischa world and I’ve just been watching what I eat.
I still love my pilates and yoga, and have cut back on fatty foods a bit. My time in India and Paris really just helped me lose a little bit of weight but there’s nothing drastic going on!
I appreciate the concern, I just wish the press wouldn’t harbor on it as I think it’s very unhealthy for young girls to read about and pay attention to. To my female fans: Just be happy and secure with yourself and don’t let other people’s perceptions of you dictate the way you live your life.
I don’t know what to think of Mischa to be honest, in some pictures she does look way to skinny kind of like Lindsay Lohan, but in this photoshoot she looks pretty hot, so tell me do you think Mischa Barton is still or was ever hot?

Okay I have two different sets of Lindsay Lohan pictures that I want you to tell me what she looks like, in the first she is posing for some art photography shot called Room 23, I myself think she looks like a cheap you know what, getting ready for the night out on the roads.
The second is of Lindsay at the Mercedes-Benz Oscar Party in Beverly Hills last night looking like, well nothing. She is getting way too skinny again, like how she used to be a couple of years back.
As for looking to skinny she told E! it is stress and she is still eating, “I haven’t changed my eating habits, I go to yoga once a week, but I don’t go more than that because I’m too lazy.”
As for that stress she is is talking about, she says she is stressed because she has “a lot of meetings for movies and stuff,” she also says she is working on a self tanning line and a diamond jewelry line.

Well maybe that is how Lindsay Lohan will earn her money, from her leggings line and a tanning line, because we all know she has no movies coming up. Answer my question… what does she look like?

In a blog post titled “Since when did a woman’s weight become newsworthy,” Ashlee Simpson is lashing out against the recent media coverage of her sister Jessica’s physique and wardrobe.
Ashlee says she is “completely disgusted by the headlines concerning my sister’s weight,” saying it is “embarrassing and belittling to all women to read about a woman’s weight or figure as a headline on Fox News.”
She argues that just a week after the inauguration, such coverage only diminish the ” feeling of hope in the air for our country.”
Ashlee Simpson ends her arguments with concern for the kids, saying that teenage girls are going to have respect issues “in an environment where we criticize a size 2 figure.”
This wouldn’t be the first time that body image and Ashlee Simpson have made their way into the same sentence. In the early stages of her music career, Simpson underwent what seems to be but is still unconfirmed plastic surgery on her face.
