You may love her or love to hate her, but the fact remains that Lindsay Lohan has become a style icon in today's celebrity-obsessed culture.
Ms. Lohan has been spotted all over Los Angeles, New York, London and Paris, attending fashion shows, sporting the latest (and sometimes disastrous) styles, and generally causing a ruckus wherever she goes.
Recently Lindsay gave an extremely revealing interview to the News of the World, discussing her celebrity status, love life, and the overwhelming pressure from Hollywood to remain stick-thin.
With
notorious stylist Rachel Zoe in Lohan's employ, it is not surprising that the starlet has shrunk to waif-like proportions. However, Lindsay seems to be fed up with never being allowed to feed.
"
Sometimes being that thin doesn't look healthy. I kind of didn't realize that," said Lohan in her recent interview. "I feel great about my body now, though. When I was in the hospital I was overworked and stressed out and that's when they started talking about my weight. Now I am comfortable in my own skin and I like having a shape and having breasts the size they are."
I for one think that it would be wonderful to have a young, stylish starlet who wears fun clothing for the public to emulate, and is curvy rather than emaciated. Let's hope that Lohan uses her celebrity status and newfound attitude about her body to offer a more balanced perspective on fashion and the risks of becoming weight-obsessed.
Kate Winslet is one of our most favorite actresses in the world. (Kate, next time you're in San Francisco, lunch is on us. Seriously -- we'll take you for a lobster club at Neiman Marcus that will change your life!) So we're firmly on her side in the "Vanity Fair Photoshop or not" debate.
