When skinny is so not hot...

So, today I saw a shot pappies took of Beyonce, and can I just say, when did she get so emaciated? She's sooo skinny. Almost to the point of scarry skinny. The picture was not taken that close up, and I could easiy see the outline of her rip cage and she lay on her beach chair. What happened to the bootylicious Beyonce who practically made her name off her ass? She Loooved that ass! She wrote songs about that ass - and now it's gone! WTF? This all seems so silly to me. There used to be rumours her ass was insured against freak disfiguring accidents, and now she's dieted it all away on her own?
Why do all actresses thinnify? Why? I mean, naturally skinny people can be beautiful, but no more beautiful than naturally curvy people, just different. And there is nothing worse than someone straining to change their natural size. It looks unhealthy and painful. Sandrah Oh, for example, is skinny but glows and looks healthy. It looks normal. Ellen Pompeo, on the other hand, looks strained, as does Beyonce right now. I don't get why naturally curvy people are afraid of their own curves? Scarjo is declared by most men's mags to be the sexiest girl in the world, Katherine Heigl is universally known as the hottest girl on Grey's and Jennifer Lopez is STILL a sex symbol after ten years as the ingenue (something that hardly EVER happens in Hollywood). Curves sell. They are marketable. They are hot. They are not the only way to be hot, but they're a good one that can make you a lot of money and get you a lot of hot dates (Case in Point: COmpare the hottness of Scarjo's dates to Lindsay Lohan's and I think it's obvious who the winner is).
Being the right size for you makes you look the best for you. Vince VAughn was even said to be annoyed by Jennifer Aniston's daily two hour work outs and the perpetual zone diet needed to keep her 30 pounds lighter than the voluptuous body she naturally had starting out on Friends in her mid twenties. Why was he so annoyed? Well, how interesting could a person possibly be if she spent all day obsessed with keeping herself underweight? That and, she was much hotter when she wasn't starving herself and overtraining.
To illuminate my point, I prepared a list called "Thin and Hot; Thin and Not." It shows you the diff between girls who are obviously naturally thin and rock that look, and girls who look like lillipops.

Thin and Hot

1. Kate Moss
2. Sandrah Oh
3. Keira Knightley
4. Nicole Kidman (minus the forehead. Cut back on the Botox)
5. Naomie Watts (when not pregnant)
6. Carrie Russell
7. Lucy Liu
8. Eva Longoria
9. Ahsley Judd
10. Kate Blanchett
11. Kate Hudson.
12. Gwyneth Paltrow
13. Courtney Cox

Thin an Not

1. Beyonce
2. Ellen Pompeo
3. Nicole Ritchie
4. Jennifer Aniston
5. Sharon Stone
6. The Olsen twins
7. Teri Hatcher
8. Renee Zelwigger
9. Maria Shreiver
10. Janice Dickinson
11. Mischa Barton
12. Kirsten Dunst
13. Jemima Khan

Visualize these examples. Can you see the difference? I can!
