Ice Cream Girl

SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] This multi-hyphenate woman has been famous for more than twenty years. She is thin. Very thin. So thin that she now has that bobble head look.

She is Mom to more than one child. However, Dad is specifically worried about how she speaks to their daughter/s about food and their weight.

He told her to knock it off, but she can’t help herself. She thinks that the worst thing a woman can be is fat. He’s always taking the children out for hamburgers and ice cream and the like. He wants them to know it’s OK to eat. He’s been encouraging [her] to take the children out for food, too, and to make sure she eats along with them. That’s hard for her. She’s not just worried about gaining weight. She doesn’t like to be photographed while eating. She thinks it looks vulgar.

Mom and Dad: Victoria Beckham and David Beckham

Victoria Beckham has always had a tenuous relationship with food and weight.

Her husband, David Beckham, does not want that attitude to negatively impact their own children, particularly their daughter, Harper Seven.

The issue of unrealistically thin body types raised its ugly bobble head again this week when Victoria Beckham released a photo to promote her VB Eyewear line. The ad featured a frightfully thin model who looked more like a starvation victim than a fashion symbol.

If that is Victoria Beckham’s idea of beauty, it’s no wonder that David Beckham is doing everything he can to counter the effects of that mindset on his own children.

While Victoria Beckham has actually said, “I don’t want to be seen smiling, having fun, or eating,” her husband David is frequently seen hanging out with his kids, smiling, having fun and eating.

Thank goodness he is there to provide some balance!

Congratulations to Irishgirl123 for being first with the correct response!

    • She is eerily thin, but is she a multi-hyphenate, unless it’s being used loosely here. TV host & actress aren’t that far off from each other. Victoria Beckham used to be a singer & is now a fashion designer. Maybe her? Jolie is very, very thin, but doubt it’s her.

    • I also guessed, Ripa; thinking Angelina isn’t really multi hyphenate. But I like Red Stilletos 👠 thoughts here. I’m sold on Victoria.

    • Yea, I went back and forth with that one too – but her IMDB says: American actress, dancer, talk show host, and television producer so…

    • My thought too. Kelly Ripa was on All My Children for years, so yes, she is an actress too.

  10. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt?

    Optional: omg there’s only 441 characters left. You’ll have to wait for my memoir…

  15. Kelly Ripa and Marc Consuelos or Victoria and David Beckham.

    My mother was obsessed with staying thin and unfortunately I inherited the metabolism and hormone issues from the other side of the family.
    She put me on a diet the first time in 5th grade. Yes, it really screwed up my relationship with food and my sense of value, as I was judged by my weight instead of my other good qualities.

  18. Mom and Dad: Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt

    My parents were always trying to do something to control my adolescent food issues. Once, in an effort for me to drop weight, my mother put me on yet another fad diet where you replaced all of your meals with this company’s meal replacement….cookies…..oh, the irony. I recall my mother always fighting her weight and in the mid 80’s started off her morning with some truffle-looking cube called Ayds. Heh, whatever happened to that company?

    • OMG, you just describes my teenage years back in the 1970’s. My mom was always very slim and I always loved to eat. I loved her dearly, but she was sort of obsessed with being thin, and used to buy those Ayds candies for her and for me. You had them with a hot beverage as a supplement to keep you from snacking or overeating at meals. Sadly she almost pushed me to the anorexia point. Then I met my husband and he taught me how to eat normally. Now in my late 50’s, I’m a little chubby, but…

  21. This has to be Victoria Beckham. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her even hold a beverage. Plus, I’ve seen lots of picks of DB taking the kids out for food. I thought Angelina at first, but I’ve seen lots of pics with her holding food, and she’s not really a “multi-hyphenate.”

  24. I watched CNN Heroes last night. Someone please feed Kelly Ripa. She looks like a teenage boy from the side

  27. Angelina Jolie

    clue: ice cream girl- Brad reported said, “Being married means I can break wind and eat ice cream in bed”.

    Angie, please tell Brad I said ‘happy birthday’!

  38. Angelina Jolie? She’s an activist and a director too so that fits the multi-hyphen part. She tends to wear baggy clothes. Even so, there are reports of abnormal weight loss. Regardless of who it is, hopefully they get help so they don’t teach it to their kids.

  42. Sounds like Victoria Beckham. She’s a shallow snob, but David is a ridiculous coddling parent with their daughter.

  44. Hmmm. She only has one daughter but the first one to come to mind (bobble-head doll) is Kelly Ripa. And Mark certainly seems more laid back.

  45. Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos

    Yes, my parents were strict about food and let me just tell you how that works out… :/

  46. Sounds like Posh Spice aka Victoria Beckham to me.

    Optional: I grew up in a “finish everything on your plate” household. It messes with your head and makes food completely unenjoyable.
    Got down to 109 lbs after I moved out and still felt porky.

    But the other extreme in parenting is just as awful.

  47. Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos? My parents never told me what I could or couldn’t eat. I think because they never made a big deal about food or how much or little I consumed, it was never about a power struggle between us. I ate what I wanted, and stopped when I was full. Food wasn’t a treat, reward, or punishment.

  48. Kelly Ripa is the only one who comes to mind. Too thin with the bobble head look. She looks TERRIBLE.
    Yes, I was shamed as a preteen because my sister was a skinny twig. It sent me into a battle with anorexia for years. I was lucky to get control and make my way out.
