And that is why I will never be a celebrity...

I would rather be jobless, friendless than be a celebrity. And yes, I'm jobless but I'm only a student. But I'm sure won't be a celebrity when I grow up. And it's not because I can't sing, dance or model but because of the  media...

I was reading Daily Mail online because of my research into "Real Life Lara Croft" and I saw an article titled "She is not a size four!" Project Runaway's Tim Gunn takes aim at newly slimline Kirstie Alley (who, by the way, is a model/actress). Kirstie Alley told Radar Online how, when she was a size 14, she wished she could get to size 4, and declared that she lost 100 pounds after being on the show Dancing with the Stars. 


But she was slated by Tim Gunn who said that Miss Alley is only a size 8-10.

I bet that must hurt. I mean, being slated by a man who is on a fashion show. And I think what both people done was wrong. Miss Alley is not a good role model by saying she didn't feel comfortable at size 14 and that she wanted to get to size 4 (and maybe she is a size 4). And then it was wrong for Mr Gunn who claimed that the model is not a size 4, but a size 8-10. It really isn't his business to get involved. I know everyone has its own opinion, but MY opinion is that Mr Gunn was wrong to argue against Miss Alley and then say that she still looks beautiful. I don't think Miss Alley can forgive you, Mr Gunn, even after the "compliment".

I also read that in Big Brother (which I don't watch) the bellydancer (forgot her name) was voted off and then booed by the crowd. I wonder (because again, I don't watch BB) is it because the bellydancer has a great body that she has been booed? Hmmm...

I also read on Daily Mail online that a young six year old has been used in a fashion show somewhere in America. This is obviously disgusting and disappointing but I'm not surprised. After all, the society has become twisted and now encourages children as being sex objects.

I also read about an dancing star who took on to high-waist trousers and see through black top with green bra. While I agree that maybe she doesn't look good with those jeans, I however think that the media should stop picking on curvy celebrities and actually encourage curvy bodies as they are healthier than skinny, anorexic celebrities. I mean, the society wants to stop suicide or/and death due to anorexia, right?

Lastly, why I could never become a celebrity is because of all the added stress: "You have to lose weight" "Your teeth need to be whiter" "You should be more sexy". They are all examples of what celebrities, especially women, have to face every single time they go out. And lets not forget the harsh critics on your clothing and the haters.

ANTM and BINTM...

First off I would like to say I'm quite excited. People from Australia and Germany are visiting my page. Cool! And USA...thanks all who are visiting my page and telling their friends. A special thanks to Zarrin, my friend from Bangladesh. I'm missing you a lot. I got 6 page views today, 7 yesterday, 64 last month and most are from UK. Hopefully I'll also get some comments? Or do I ask for too much? I don't know...

Anyway, it's 11:31 a.m., I'm bored and I am watching Jeremy Kyle. I don't know why. But before I switched to JK, I was watching America Next Top Model, or ANTM as in the title. (BINTM= Britain & Ireland Next Top Model). There is also Australia's (hello Australia, thanks for visiting my page) Next Top Model. I'm sorry but I don't really like Australia's rules. If I go on your show, even though I'm too young...no scratch that. If I was 18, same weight, maybe taller, and went on your show I would be thrown out.

Because I'm not skinny, I'm a little over the normal weight. So you guys wouldn't take me on. Because for the past months while I was watching AuNTM (Australia's) I only saw skinny models, and they were always on diet and exercising. I mean, it is healthy exercising. But really? If you put on a LITTLE bit of weight, you had to lose it and FAST. I mean, the Model society want skinny girls. OKAY? Good, now lose weight.

This is a good impact of the media. Now models have to be skinny, a size 0 in America. It is the wanted look. If you're overweight or normal there is no place for you in model world.

No, I'm being mean. If we look on ANTM there was one plus size model winner. I forgot her name. She was blonde, and everybody said she behaved like a pageant queen. I don't know if I spelled that right. Anyway, she won and she was a plus size model. But there was only ONE winner. And I bet she was influenced and asked to lose weight or else.

In BINTM I never saw a plus size model. I mean, I haven't watched those shows for a long while because my mum hates them. And I dislike them sometimes because they are really stereotypical and mean. Expect for ANTM, it seems Tyra Banks is a great mentor. I wish she would teach me how to model. Whatever, because I'll never be model. I'm too feminist for that. I would argue back every time someone would criticize me. Maybe because I'm a scorpio? Who knows.

If I had to choose to always watch a model show, I would choose ANTM because they are really nice and funny. Not too serious, I don't like that. I also like the fact they let plus size models come into competition. (I just had to change because there was a stupid show on. BLAH! Music is better, and I'll write about that later on).

There is something else I never understood, and maybe disliked a little bit at these shows. Why are there always girl models and no boys? I mean, really? Are there no male models in the competition. But I like what Tyra Banks once said, that male models are toys and you should outshine them. I'm with you, sister!

Conclusion? These shows are somewhat stereotypical. But they also help women get somewhere far and big. But BINTM and AuNTM should let plus size models through. Because it is not fair!

****Next time, maybe tomorrow: music and how it represents women****

I will also start with some psychology because I'm learning about it soon. God, summer went fast. At least it was fun!
