This week Star magazine decided they would publicize Queen Latifah’s struggle with weight loss. Miraculously, Star magazine was able to determine Queen Latifah’s weight quoting her to “tip the scale at just over 200 pounds”. Who gives them the right to judge anyone?
Weight loss is a struggle that many people are faced with and in no way is it the place of the media to publicly scrutinize celebrities for being “normal” and having troubling keeping on track with their diets. The article uses verbs such as “scarfing” to describe her eating habits and says that her “willpower must not be too good”.
There complete disregard for people’s feelings is absolutely appalling. I believe that the media is to blame for the weight obsession of both celebrities and common people. There is such a “demand” to be thin these days and the media seem to be at fault.
Congratulations to all you judgmental tabloid folk … you must have some deeply rooted complexes that cause you to focus on the flaws of others.

I like your blog because the photos and the text color is certainly appropriate for the subject matter. The photos especially are essential for this tabloid material.
The media gets paid for that type of information. The celebrities have to expect stories like these to arise since they're often in the limelight. That's how this society is even though it is wrong to do it.
By the way, I like the photos in the blog, they're really sharp and stand out.
Also, I like Queen Latifah. There is nothing wrong with her...they need t leave her alone.
Good clear voice - you always want to know the writer's opinion and you do a good job with that.
