I saw this coming way back when she quit drugs. Now the tabloids have latched onto it and are calling her "Portly Love." Check this out: www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,4-2004600281,00.html I must say, I feel bad for her. As I've said in previous threads when a drug addict detoxes weight gain is often a result. Now that she's no longer taking drugs to control her appetite and her body is out of danger of starvation her metabolism is so messed up that she's absorbing every single calorie. It takes months for the body to return to "normal weight" if it ever does. Now the tabloids are going to pull a "Kirstie Alley" on her and get on her about her weight. Courtney is a lot of things, many of them bad. But even she doesn't deserve this. Again the media is hyping the weight thing because a person no longer looks "Hollywood Beautiful" despite the fact she was killing herself with drugs when she was thin. Instead of giving her the grudging respect she deserves for kicking drugs, they're in her face about her weight. This pisses me off. I hate what the media does to women, young girls in particular, with body image and beauty=skinny. All and all, I must agree with the Courtney worshipers on KR--she does look healthy and from my standpoint, quite normal.

lovestinksyeahyeah, I'm not going to get all mad because you don't feel sorry for Courtney, but she finally does something good for herself and stops taking drugs and the media just uses it as an excuse to poke fun at her, that's very wrong. I have seen recent pictures of her and to me she doesn't look fat at all, that is a healthy weight, hollywood may not feel that way but I do and I hate the fact that all women in Hollywood have to look like sticks! Its very unfair. Marilyn Monroe was a size 14 and was 5'5, she didn't look bad at all and today you have these size 00 celebrites that are all skin and bones, it should have stayed the way it was back in the Marilyn Monroe days, it would have prevented lots of girls going through anorexia and bulemia. -PinkPixie

yes i know the media is horrible in making people perceive the perfect weight as dangerously small but i doubt this would even phase courtney. do you think she cares? she feeds stories to the tabloids herself. sure its a sad thing that they're doing to her but hey it happens everyday to some so called celebrity. if it sells they do it. its sad. the media should take partial credit for making our world so screwed up. i was just stating that i didn't feel to sorry for her but hey that's my feelings about it.

Actually, back in Monroes era the measurement of clothing was different.What was a size 14 then would be a size eight now

i agree. not all celebrities fall under the pressure of tabloids promoting the need of weight loss. and somehow i don't think i'd ever feel sorry for courtney.
