Angelina Jolie Skinny

Angelina Jolie Skinny, I missed the Academy Awards, but watched the recap on the news. Listening to reporters fawn over the celebrities, I was reminded once again why I got out of the business of celebrity reporting (I had worked for People and Us Weekly for many, many years). It might look fun, but trust me, there’s nothing worse than asking hundreds of actors, ‘Who are you wearing?’— especially since they’ve been asked the same question by hundreds of reporters all night long.

I clicked around, watching the usual gushing celebrity journalists. It seemed no matter what news station, all the reporters agreed: Angelina Jolie “rocked it” on the red carpet in her custom black Atelier Versace gown with its thigh-high slit.

Stunning. Beautiful. Gorgeous. These were just some of the adjectives they used to describe her appearance.

Then they showed a clip of Angelina’s now famous pose where she flashed her right leg all the way to the top of her thigh.

Only someone as flawless as Angelina can get away with that pose and that dress, they agreed. So did some b- and c-level stars and wannabee stars when they were interviewed at after parties. She seemed to be the talk of Hollywood.

Was the media all drunk on Angelina Kool-Aid? Was the media all marching in the same parade as that nkd emperor in Denmark? Surely they couldn’t miss what I could see on television. But then again, Los Angeles is a company town. And Angelina is very, very well wired.

Angelina looked like a beautiful victim of an eating disorder. She looked like she was just released from a prison camp. She looked like she was battling a debilitating disease. That leg needed several pounds of muscle to warrant the level of bug-eyed praise it was getting. It just looked… skinny.

What was more shocking—Angelina Jolie’s frail, sickly appearance or the fact that those covering the event seemed completely oblivious to it? And she was right in front of them. I was watching Angelina on television—which allegedly adds ten pounds to your body. I can only imagine what she looked like up close.

It seems that despite her fame, success, hot baby daddy and tons of money, Angelina may have some problems. Who knows what they are? If she does indeed suffer from an eating disorder, she probably doesn’t even realize how mal-nourished she looks.

The media act like star-struck idiots while perpetuating a lie. Do they believe what they are saying? Or are they so afraid of being honest?
