Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Quotables

“I work in a really superficial industry. I mean, I am getting Google Alerts saying, ‘You look good with the weight gain.’ They don’t realize they’re being mean by saying you look good fatter. It’s enough to drive any girl a little crazy. But it’s okay. What can I say? There’s nothing I can do about it.”

– Giuliana Rancic explained yesterday on the Oscar red carpet why it’s difficult to be five pounds less skinny than she used to be.

  • Such an idiotic thing to say.

    People saying she looks good ‘fatter’ isn’t mean, it’s an honest to god fact that being that skinny isn’t healthy and it looks bad on her. I’m so fed up with this superficiality bullcrap too. “Oh, poor me, I work in this industry and make millions of dollars to be filmed reading a script.”

    Seriously, I’m just angry now.

  • So it’s mean to compliment someone on a positive change? I get absolutely giddy if someone notices a 5 lb. loss – what’s so terrible about noticing a gain if it’s an improvement? Particularly if “fans” are trying to be supportive. She says she wants a baby, but not bad enough if she can’t gain 5-10 lbs. so she actually ovulates regularly without having an emotional crisis. That, my friends, is the sign of either a shallow, insecure brat or a raging eating disorder. No one gives a crap if she’s a double zero or a zero. Seriously. She’s only a correspondent for E!, not a runway model. She’s skinnier than 98% of the people she interviews. I doubt highly if E! ever said one word about her needing to lose weight or caring if she gained a measly 80 ounces. If this is what’s keeping her from conceiving, she’s better off without children. Perhaps she should not comment on her reproductive life, nor have a “reality show” if this bothers her. BTW, she still looks scary.

    Sorry, this was so long – I saw her on The View the other day and she made me gag right along with Whoopi as she tried to talk sense into her.

  • “They don’t realize they’re being mean by saying you look good fatter” – RED ALERT. body image issues – check!

  • Uhh – turn off your Google alert, stop reading about yourself and consider that gaining a few pounds instead of having in-vitro fertilization is:

    A. Way more fun
    B. Way cheaper
    C. Possibly safer for your future child (See http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3076781/)
    D. Stop taking your looks (sorry, but we can’t all be Charlize Theron) so seriously!!!!!

    Is she really saying that she can’t take her doctor’s advice because she’s too vain? Get this gal out of showbiz, fast.

  • If they were trying to be mean they could have said…. You look good with the weight gain it distracts away from your alien shaped head, orange glow tan and distracting white hands.

    Nuff said!!

      • agreed with all posts above. this woman looks like ET, and that is NOT a compliment. she needs some weight, and some fashion sense and common sense.

        megalomania, anyone?

        ps, her husband looks like frankenstein. i guess that doesn’t matter what they look like if they have their heads screwed on right, though. if only they weren’t so narcissistic and vain.

  • Most gossip is useless, let’s face it. We like it because it’s funny or scandalous or whatever. It’s not because we care about the people, really.
    This- I couldn’t give two craps whether she is anorexic, obese or anywhere in between.
    She could gain 100 pounds or lose another 15 and I would care not one whit. She could pop out eight babies and I would yawn.
    She is not interesting. In fact, this whole pregnant vs. skinny thing has gone on so long and is so boring I am skipping over any stories I see about her in the future.

  • What are the odds that she has her face down in a toilet and is puking her brains out at this very moment?

  • She’s a miserable toofy weary skeleton. Please do something with that mangy thining, dry, lifeless hair other than scraped back to reveal your desperate soul dead starving sunken eyes.

  • I worked with a woman who said she’d like to have kids, but she didn’t want to get fat. Anyone that self centered should never breed.

  • i agree with “think straight”. turn off the stupid google alerts and be content with a healthy body image. she still looks tiny and could stand to gain another 5 pounds. what would google say then?

  • How this homely, skinny person ever got a job on television is beyond. She has no discernable talent, and has a huge flat homely face, and she is nearly bald. Look where here hairline begins. Thank goodness for extensions. She thinks she is really something. I hope and pray each and every year that her contract will run out, and that they will get rid of her. I am so tired of looking at those boney shoulders. They look like to sacks of doorknobs. Cover them up!

  • She’s gaining weight so she can have a child right? isn’t that the idea? She’s sooooooo skinny her body is not allowing her to conceive naturally. I hope she realizes that 1) that’s nature’s way of saying that she’s too thin to nourish herself let alone another human being, 2) if/when she gets pregnant she’s going to gain weight (an average of 25lbs, if not more). She didn’t used to be THIS thin…. 5-10lbs would make her look healthier and more approachable. As someone who struggled with an eating disorder in the past, this is a clear indicator that she has self-image issues and is either headed towards a real problem or is already there (whether or not she’s restricting her eating or purging).
