If thin is in, then is fit pregnant?

          Would you like your body to be scrutinized 24 hours a day seven days a week?  That’s a day in the life of most celebrity women.  Do you feel sorry for them?  Personally, I do.  There are days where you just want to eat a fattening meal!  What’s sad is that the paparazzi love to station themselves outside of celebrity hotspot restaurants and snap a quick photo of a star after a bite to eat.  Of course, they might have a stomach bulge, but does this mean that the paparazzi have to rumor that the star has a “baby bump?”  Subconsciously, all humans relax their stomachs at times.  According to The Skinny Website, there have been some recent false “baby bump” assumptions.  For example, Kate Hudson was attending a premier for her movie Fool’s Gold, and the wind caught her dress at a bad angle creating a bump at her stomach; therefore she must be pregnant!  The rumor mill spun rapidly because of news that Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson were possibly back together.  The tabloids were proven wrong when Kate was pictured in her bikini on the beach.  In the past month, singer Fergie and fiancé Josh Duhamel were spotted leaving a LA restaurant after a late dinner.  Pictures showed a protruding belly button under Fergie’s dress.  Terri Ferguson was quick to deny the rumors of her daughter’s pregnancy on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS FM radio show.  Ferguson stated, “I think people can’t believe people do get married just because they love each other, not because they are pregnant.” From a publicist viewpoint, I would agree with Fergie’s mom and her response to the rumor handled the situation best.  Fergie was fit and super skinny at this year’s Grammy Awards (around the time the rumor surfaced) and was showing no “baby bump.”  In Hollywood, I feel that there is no happy medium concerning weight.  Celebs who are fit and look fabulous get criticized, and celebs that are too skinny have rumors spread about their possible drug use or an eating disorder.  Many publicists have to cover up their clients weight gain/or loss because there is the possibility that the celebrity’s career can be negatively affected. Can’t these women have a little space?  It seems that a lot of “baby bump” rumors/pictures are proven untrue.  Also, I feel that all of this harsh criticism by the media on Hollywood has impacted the growth in eating disorders among the female population.
