I cannot find that article which was posted couple of weeks ago about the bad and worst names. Anyone has it handy?

I really needed to see that article about the celebrity moms losing baby weight so quickly. It was a good read.

Thanks!

I really loved the article on celebrities losing baby weight so quickly. I do think it’s unrealistic and very unhealthy and I am so not a fan of the “well, they have to look good because they’re a celebrity” because who cares if it takes them a year to lose baby weight? That’s normal and, frankly, I know we are happy when we see celebrities looking normal after birth (a la Melissa Joan Hart) instead of stick-thin.

Great article! I love the “Around the Web” posts!

Who cares? Their agents do. People don’t exactly go see some actresses’ movies for their acting skills, if you know what I mean

Either way, I think people shouldn’t depend so much on celebrities to make themselves feel good.
