Who weighs the celebs?

[Sleuth]

Ive always been facinated when a magazine has an article saying "how much celebs really weigh" Like do the celebs run in to the editors office for a weigh in or something because in all honesty i cant imagine celebs like Nicole Richie, Mischa, Kate Bosworth and Victoria willingly fessing up to their true weights. Where would a magazine get that sort of information or do they pull the figures out of nowhere?

The magazines pull those numbers out of their asses....

I don't know wondered about that, I did watch an episode of Kathy Griffin whatever her last name is.They came to her house and weighed her and some ish like that.

^ Yeah, but she was specifically doing a weight loss article where that was part of the agreement. I doubt they do that to Nicole Richie just to comment on how tiny she's gotten.

What I love is that they always list weights like "113" or "121" instead of rounded numbers or saying "about" or "approximately." It makes them sound like they really have a clue exactly how much someone weighs by looking at them.

^^ it was exactly those sorts of "exact" figures that got me thinking, like in NW they said the Nicole Richie weighs 39 kg, i mean as if someone like her would willingly jump on the scales and tell a magazine.

yeah i agree they totally "guesstimate"...sometimes i think theyre close, like with posh spice (105-110) and angelina jolie (118) and other times they are hilariously wrong...i remember a couple years ago before mariah got really big they guessed her weight to be 108 which is totally not true. Mariah is like 5'9 and back then prolly weighed more like 128.

the best is when you compaire weights...like they said mariah carey at 5'9 was 108 and pam anderson at 5'4 was 120 lol...when theres no way pam anderson was ever HEAVIER than mariah...although i think theyve gotton better abt it in recent times, they used to be hilariously off

Lindsay Lohan's publicist commented on the inaccuracy of these guesses one time. She was like, "Such and such a magazine reported that before Lindsay lost weight, she weighed 130 lbs. I can confirm that Lindsay has never weighed 130 lbs in her life."

yeah but i kind of think she has weighed 130 bc shes 5'7 and used to a little thick...my theory is that usually the tabs gues LESS than what celebs weigh so celebs dont contest it...when I read that original estimate of lohan's weight i thought it was right and it wasnt a week later before it was being officially contested.


At this size if she wasnt 130 she was pretty damn close and w.in 5lbs of it in my oppinion

I really miss Linds looking like this. In my opinion, it's the epitome of the perfect body...athletic, yet sleek. Man, she's really gone downhill.

[travelbug]

I hate that they make it sound like LiLo at 130 was fat, like her publicist had to say that she has never weighed 130 like it was an insult or something. Way to alienate us regular people! Some of us actually weigh 130and gasp! get compliments all the time on how great we look.

Hollywood really has some fucked up ideas of what looks good.

My cousin weighs 38 kg and looks a lot healthier in her naturally teeny-tiny frame, lol.
