When a Celebrity Gains Weight
The Pressure to be Thin and Perfect

So I find myself thinking lately about
something disturbing with Disney child stars that I've begun to notice. Okay, first of all many of them end up future train wrecks, but lately I
was noticing that Selena Gomez has gained a "little" weight and people
are taking notice around the web.
The girl has gained maybe 10-15 pounds; her face is a little rounder but she is far from being over weight. She still looks skinny if you ask me, just a healthier weight. People are calling the girl "fat." Insanity... This world is so confusing and I've said it before to people I know...
The Problem with the World's View on Weight Gain and Weight Loss
We complain that the entertainment industry, etc. is sending a message to young girls and women that you have to be stick thin to be beautiful because that's all you see on TV and in magazines with the exception of an occasional thick girl or woman. But yet when someone thin gains weight she's called "fat."
And the celebrities that you do see
thicker usually end up losing weight...most times, like Raven
did from "That's So Raven" and our former little "Cosby" girl. Now she's
being critiqued for her weight loss and people are even saying that she had
plastic surgery. Her face looks the same to me, just thinner.
I don't think she had surgery. People can really be so cruel and such haters. Sorry to use that word because I hate it, but it's true. People who hate for the mere sake of hating are in fact...dun, dun, dun...haters.
I think what it is with Selena is that people are used to seeing her about 80-90 pounds soaking wet and now she's about 100 pounds soaking wet, lol. Maybe if people were used to seeing her a healthy weight they wouldn't have much to say, eh?
It really blows my mind how cruel people can be. So what I'm noticing is a trend with these Disney stars and it really makes you wonder...hmm. Are they forced to be so thin to be famous? Because as soon as they're unleashed from Disney they put on a little weight and/or start getting reckless and also seem to start rebelling. Not all do, but many.
I personally think they lose their childhood and try to make up for it when they're "free." So the whole weight thing brings me to...you'll never believe...Lady Gaga! I found out yesterday that she has gained an astonishing 25 pounds and she really looks so different. Her fans found out when she went on tour and now she's trying to diet to lose the weight.
She said her father opened an Italian restaurant here in NY and that has been her downfall because of all the good Italian food (yum). And now the girl is getting judged and slammed by critics. I "think" I read that she was threatened by her label to lose weight.
I should add that I know that Lady Gaga was not a Disney child star, but I just felt like mentioning her because of the whole "Lady Gaga's weight gain" thing that's trending all over the internet as well right now. It's always nice to see that these people are just human like the rest of us... They struggle with the same things.

The Pressure of Fame?

Final Thoughts
I should add that I know that Lady Gaga was not a Disney child star, but I just felt like mentioning her because of the whole "Lady Gaga's weight gain" thing that's trending all over the internet as well right now. It's always nice to see that these people are just human like the rest of us... They struggle with the same things.
They appear to be perfect, but really they work hard to appear perfect. Nothing comes easy in this world; not even looking good. Which, by the way, I think they're both beautiful regardless!
And PS: I still love Disney. We watch Disney every night. I'm just finding it disturbing that most of these girls are so thin on these shows, then as soon as they leave they gain weight and/or rebel in some way or another. It just really makes you wonder...
