BlindGossip – This actress, who is the star of a very successful television show, has become completely obsessive about her weight. Not only does this talented star work very hard throughout the day (which is a workout in itself), she also exercises whenever she is not on set. In fact, she has been exercising so much and eating so little (less than 1000 calories per day), that she recently collapsed on the set. We believe that this single fact rather nullifies her claim that her new healthy lifestyle gives her lots of energy.
Lea Michele for sure
Agreed, she talks about her yoga workouts, and her Vegan lifestyle giving her integrity and energy. She also says that playing her character Rachel “is a workout in itself” and she needs the energy. She made these comments to dispel anorexic rumors. Seems like a lock.
Yep! I say solved!!!!
Definately! Lea is a mere shadow of her former self!
Agree.
Absolutely has to be her.
Agree! Here is a picture of her “working some exercise into her busy schedule by riding her bike during downtime on set.”

Getting really skinny still isn’t going to make her prettier than Dianna Agron. In fact she looks more mannish than ever. It’s her.
Dianna is prettier unfortunately she can’t act or sing. lol
you know, lea michele was so pretty. curves are nice. this obsession to become a skeleton, while pervasive, is so sad. plus, at some point it becomes a disease, and very hard to shake. i feel sad for her if it is she whom the item’s referring to. i feel sad for them all.
Miranda Cosgrove. She was in a blind item not too long ago. Can’t believe she actually collapsed.
She makes $180,000 per episode on iCarly. I think i read somewhere that the show had more viewers than Hannah Montana.
Up it’s sad. I bet some of the same people here saying Lea was cute last season were probably saying she was chubby then. Sucky situation.
Would Miranda Cosgrove be considered to be an actress? I am not familiar with ICarly.
Anyway, she’s been tiny lately.
That show is soo awful, I was forced to watch it at an acquaintance’s house because she has a young child, but I wouldn’t let my child watch such nonsense.
Annalynne McCord or Blake Lively?
Maggie Q? Somehow the show sounds like some action series and Maggie Q looks really unhealthy thin on Nikita.
My first thought was Blake lively, but now thinking has to be Lea Michele too as she is so skinny and raving about her ‘vegan’ diet
All of ‘em?
ha agreed. whats with the aversion to food?!?!
Misogyny and unhealthy and completely unattainable standards for female beauty? That’s what it typically is.
ha ok then…so whats with the aversion to sense?!?!
See previous post.
Lea Michele. Don’t watch Glee but have seen before and after pictures. She looks like she’s definitely at the starvation point.
Teri, i am on the dumbest show tdslf has never seen, Hatcher
Jennifer, i need some food, quick, Carpenter
Yeah, she just looks gross! Whether this blind is about her or not, she needs cookie.
I’m sure her husband’s cancer scare was stressful, but she’s totally emaciated.
But she has always been quite thin. Too damn thin in fact. I wonder if there is a craft services table on that set?
IMBD says they do. She’s either not eating or regurgitating it. I love her to death, but she looks sick.
theres a crafty on ever set per union rules
best part of the job.
Have worked out at the gym next to her..hours running on the treadmill like she’s running from the Boogeyman named Carbs..
My first post though I’ve reading for a while: Without a doubt, it’s Lea Michele. She’s gotten so think that it’s aged her – she looks too old now to be playing a teenager – compared to last year when she was adorable, now she looks drawn and tired. She needs to eat something.
SouthJ’s in the house! Love, BG
Totally agree. Being too skinny makes you look older…same as to Posh Spice, Maniston and all the others. Diana Agron is gorgeous.
Def Lea Michele. At the end of the Glee last week, when she was standing on stage, so looked scarily tiny. She really looked a lot better last season.
I am going with Lea also. There was a report About someone on the set of glee fainting during a rehearsal a few weeks ago. Poor thing. She’s so pretty.
Totally Lea. Man now I feel guilty about going on and on to my friends about how amazing she looks. Oops.
I think I’m the only person here who thinks Lea Michele is actually quite unattractive.
Whatever….each to their own I guess.
You are not alone…
Good to know
Agreed I cannot understand why anyone thinks she is attractive.
I think she’s adorable. I’m not into the generic look personally.
She’s not ugly, its just that her nose is so horribly bad. She needs to Ashley Simpson herself.
Nope. She needs to leave her naturally jewish (her words) nose alone.
Yes, I like her nose as well. It’s what makes her unique and stand out from the others in Hollywood!
i don’t think shes a 10 but she def doesn’t need plastic surgery! thats mean to say!
I think Ashley Simpson’s nose job was almost as big a mistake as Jennifer Grey’s. Not totally against the idea of surgery, but I prefer character to blandly beautiful. I figure if Sandra Bernhardt, Glenda Jackson and Barbra Steisand can make it work, the rest of us should thank our lucky stars and try harder.
Lea Michele needs a sandwich and a smack upside the head. I can’t even watch her now without thinking how emaciated she looks.
Julie Bowen from Modern Family….super skinny

Her show doesn’t require a ton of running around and exercising (any more than your standard sitcom at least) so I don’t think it’s her… Plus she’s not really a “girl”… BUT, she is scary skinny, all of a sudden! I definitely noticed that on Modern Family last week.
i dont even know why lea michele wants to be thinner; losing weight does NOT suit her face. shes getting grotesque.
Now if her goal is to make her nose look bigger than her head, she’s well on her way to achieving this.
Jennifer Morrison-she is way too skinny! (and she is still in the house credits)
I saw Kelly Ripa
I really don’t understand all the haterade about super skinny actresses. They all do it? Why? Because they think they have to (and are probably right) in order to work in this industry. They’re women in an industry that only values you for your “hotness,” which is constantly being dissected at their expense. Lea Michele, Jennifer Carpenter, Julie Bowen and Kelly Ripa are some of the hardest working, most talented people in the industry, and all they get is a “ewwww, so gross! You aren’t adhering to my standards for your attractiveness!” I tell you, if I was an actress, I would be an anorexic coke head for sure. I mean, I (and all the women I know) get upset if I even think someone may have implied I’m not so skinny (and you don’t have to be actually fat to feel fat). It’s threads like this that make being a woman exhausting.
um its a good thing your not an actress. you should work on your self control & self esteem!
It’s not about lack of “self control” or “self esteem,” it’s not even about me specifically. It has to do with the way we discuss women in general, and the pressure that puts on women. It begins with how we talk about actresses, we rip them to shreds (side note: Rip her to Shreds is an awesome Blondie song) based on their physical appearance. She’s too fat, too skinny, her nose is too big, her boobs are tiny, her boobs are comically large – basically, a woman’s value lies in her ability to meet certain standards for attractiveness. Studios don’t hire women who don’t meet that standard, and in the instances in which they do, all anyone talks about is how craaaazy it is that someone cuuuurvy is on TV, and it’s all anyone talks about, and she’s hyper sexualized and reduced to her form (ie Christina Hendricks – brilliant actress, but people who don’t watch Mad Men often think she’s just the “hot secretary”.) There are actresses who talk about it. Julianne Moore talks openly and eloquently about how she pretty much doesn’t eat, because if she does, she won’t get hired. But typically actresses give the whole, “omg, it’s just because, as expected, I’m soo much better than actual humans, so my body just does this.” Meanwhile, they’re over exercising and starving themselves on the side (how many blind items do we have about eating disordered actresses?) So perhaps the question isn’t, “Why are these stuuuupid wimmins running around all hysterical with no self esteem or self control?” and it should be, “Why do so many women in this world feel compelled to turn to extreme methods to fit some small mold of attractiveness?” followed by, “And who on earth is dictating this mold of attractiveness?” and then perhaps, “And how are these standards affecting me and the women in my life that I care about?”
Thank you for saying all this, IA completely. We expect women to be thin and youthful, but naturally of course! Dnw any signs that she puts effort into maintaining that image because ugh, how shallow. It’s infuriating how women are shamed for conforming to standards that we didn’t invent, how any discussion of misogyny in the media immediately turns into a discussion of horizontal oppression, and women are blamed for enforcing the standards that hurt us all.
(Love the Blondie song too btw!)
Word! The same reaction bugs me when we discuss the sexualization of young girls, like all the Disney girls with their nude photo scandals and pole dancing at the VMAs and whatnot. We’re all, “Now see here, girlies. We are going to fetishize and exploit you in a way that is completely inappropriate and confusing to you. Then we are going to shame you for it and call you a Lolita if you want to explore sexuality on your terms.” Also, the fact that the term “Lolita” is used to describe an under age girl that is out to corrupt the moral fiber of good men speaks VOLUMES about how we value girls and women in our culture. Lolita is a novel about the sexual abuse of a young girl from the perspective of her abuser. I mean, our society thinks like the rapist. That’s scary.
I agree 100%, and I’m a guy!!
you are so right. i mean, who HASN’T sat and watched a beauty pageant while saying, “What’s with her hair/legs/boobs/lips/eyes/etc….” We are our worst enemies. we see someone skinnier than us, and think, “ugh, she’s so gross”, then we see someone fatter than us and think, “ugh, she’s so gross”
What’s the dealio?
I think part of it is that we reduce women to their physical parts. Men rule the world and women decorate it. If they don’t decorate it right, then they cease to have value. When it comes to women snarking women, I think it’s a result of the same thing. If we feel like our only value is in our appearance, then we will be constantly trying to jump up the pretty girl pecking order. You see a beauty queen all beautified, and you can think, “well, her lips are weird, so she’s not that much better than me. Or my boobs are nicer, so I have greater value.” On the flip side, you see a woman who is not conventionally attractive and she’s immediately thought to have less value. I mean, most of that is internalized, but that’s the subtext at least. I mean, let’s say that someone wanted to set a guy up on a blind date. He has to choose between two descriptions. The first description of her is, “Great personality. Hilarious. Successful in her career. Will be a supportive partner. Generous with friends and employees.” The second description is “Tall. Long legs. Big boobs. Beautiful face.” Who is he going to choose? Guess what, both options were Heidi Klum. Where do we place the majority of her value?
Nina Dobrev from Vampire Diaries lost a lot of weight recently. She looked really skinny at the Emmys..
here’s an article from us weekly…seems to fit the blind to me!
