Dear Hollywood:
Can you please stop with the Ed Helms variations of the Tiger song? Talk about beating a dead horse tiger. Enough.
Signed,
A frustrated viewer who once liked tigers

Dear Hollywood:
I'm fed up with your depictions of women who supposedly eat like horses and yet are maybe - MAYBE - a size 6. I was watching a bit of Two Weeks' Notice with Sandra Bullock yesterday, and there's a running gag about how she eats everything in sight when she's tense. At one point she's ordering a ton of Chinese food, and the person taking the order is like "And this is for just one person?" Right. Unless she has the workout schedule of an Olympic athlete, there's no way in hell that she eats all that and still looks like Sandra Bullock.

Co-signed.
That was one of the many things I grew to hate about Will & Grace, they were always making jokes about Grace eating a lot of fast food and she was basically a perfect size 2.

What's really pathetic is that actresses say that in real life, too. "Oh, I eat like a pig! I know I'm 5'9" and weight 105 pounds, but seriously, I eat everything in sight!" I distinctly remember an interview Cameron Diaz did where she made a point of eating the entire bread bowl at the table and then talked about how she does that kind of thing all the time. Uh-huh. I also recall AnnaLynne McCord insisting she eats entire buckets of fried chicken all the time. Right.
No wonder Hollywood won't stop with this crap in movies, since the actresses seem to do it by choice in real life too.

Gilmore Girls was bad about this too. No one could eat the quantity of junk food Lorelai and Rory ate and continue to look like Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel.

See also: Lemon, Liz. 30 RockOy. Yes. It's one of the very few things I don't like about that show. As much as she likes to protest to the contrary, Tina Fey is in fact skinny and works hard to remain so. According to her husband in that Vanity Fair profile, she used to be heavier but she went on a crash diet and lost a fair amount of weight when she found out she would be doing Weekend Update. The only way people can eat junk food and be skinny is if they don't eat very much and it just happens to be junk food. I had a friend in college who was bone thin and what little she ate was junk, she very rarely had anything other than a dish of ice dream and/or chips for dinner.

My brother eats nothing but sugary cereal and fried chicken, but he is skinny as hell because he works out at the gym for literally hours every single day. That's the other way to eat junk and still be thin.

Damn, I have it half-right. *grin*
One thing I always loved about The Golden Girls was that they were older, heavier women whose characters joyfully ate ice cream and cheesecake all the time. I want to be like that when I retire. Oh, and find some of those awesome caftans to wear.

Oh, I ate like a pig and was 5' 6" and 95 pounds, so I can say a high metabolism does exist.
