Dianna Agron Responds to GQ Criticism | celebrity quotes | %tags

Yesterday we debated on the topic: ‘Is the GQ photoshoot featuring naughty schoolgirls Dianna and Lea too provocative?’. Today, we get to hear Dianna’s long and well spoken response (from Dianna’s blog):

I'd like to start by saying that these are solely my thoughts on the November issue of GQ and the controversy that has surrounded its release. I am not a representative of the three of us, the show, or Fox, only myself.

In the land of Madonna, Britney, Miley, Gossip Girl, other public figures and shows that have pushed the envelope and challenged the levels of comfort in their viewers and fans…we are not the first. Now, in perpetuating the type of images that evoke these kind of emotions, I am sorry. If you are hurt or these photos make you uncomfortable, it was never our intention. And if your eight-year-old has a copy of our GQ cover in hand, again I am sorry. But I would have to ask, how on earth did it get there?

Portia de Rossi Writes a Memoir About Her ED Past

Portia de Rossi Writes a Memoir About Her ED Past | beauty body image | %tags

37 year-old Portia De Rossi (now Portia Lee James DeGeneres) is planning to launch a memoir called Unbearable Lightness this November – the actress opens up about her troubled past and life-long battle with anorexia and bulimia. Entertainment Weekly has the details:

Unbearable Lightness, de Rossi's memoir of a lifetime of starving and bingeing and purging (as well as part of a lifetime hiding her sexuality), is at times so wrenching that it's difficult to imagine how the author, now 37, has kept her misery hidden for so long. "Since I was a twelve-year-old girl taking pictures in my front yard to submit to modeling agencies, I'd never known a day when my weight wasn't the determining factor for my self-esteem," she writes with weary honesty. At her most perilously anorexic, the publicly glamorous TV star weighed 82 pounds. Ten months later, in the depths of bulimic bingeing, she had doubled in size. As an autobiographer she reports this with a vivid eye for detail, particularly about foods devoured, foods refused, and the ways a woman can hide her self-destruction, particularly when posing under the searchlights of fame.

The blunt, pity-free matter-of-factness with which de Rossi shares secrets and lies about her eating disorders and her sexuality makes this forthright confessional story at once shocking and instructional, especially for younger women who may be secretly suffering on their own.
