Much has been said about Matthew Perry's horrible
physical decline - he truly looks awful. I thought
Laura Dern looked godawful on *the* Ellen episode (compared
with Ellen, who's thin, but not emaciated -- big difference).
.
I saw Romy and Michele etc. this weekend, and in a couple
of scenes you could see Mira Sorvino had lost too much weight.
Side by Side with Lisa Kudrow, Sorvino had chest bones
sticking out in places Kudrow didn't (probably pieces of
clavicle). To me, THAT's the sign of underweight -- when
people notice bones they didn't even notice they HAD.
.
I'm also appalled at the condition of the girl who plays
Colleen on Dr. Quinn etc. Big ol' Nancy Reagan head
dangling off a pipecleaner of a neck. I don't know
how they can allow her to show up and give her camera
time when she should be in a hospital. Seems like some
tough love is in order. It's not like she's *caarrying* the
show and they have to be afraid it will fold without her.
.

A friend of mine is working with Rob Lowe right now and says he looks
like a pipecleaner with a buzz cut.

Wonder if its heroin or AIDS or...

Awww.... I thought that Laura Dern looked very nice on Ellen. Her big
boned slightly gangly frame is her trademark. Her personality is so
pleasant that she makes "all that girl" likeable and attractive.
On anyone else, that much size could be overpowering.

this came up in another thread, not about rob lowe, but about can guys be
anorexic? and i posted about a guy i know who's had anorexia for at least
15 years. he thinks he's fat. you always see him out jogging. he has
that orange brillo pad hair that anorexics get. and people probably think
he has AIDS, but it's anorexia.

Yup, then again there are all manner of things that cause extreme
slenderness, including Lupus and various other ailments.

Forget the anorexia -- what the hell happened to her face? It looks as
if somebody nearsighted had taken face apart, cured the pieces in
leather and reassembled her with very little attention to detail. I
swear, her nose looks as if it were stuck on with putty....

I saw a picture of Gwyneth Paltrow, wearing a gorgeous versace dress. Once
can see she's naturally tall and thin but ye gods- her knees are bony, her
legs like pipecleaners, she is emaciated.

My first thought when I saw her... SKELETOR!!

She, along with Donna-blondie-whatshername from KL, were at a
charity luncheon last year, which I had the happenstance to
attend. Along with Linda Gray from Dallas, these three were
discussing their recent forays under the plastic surgeons knife.
Looks like Joan's didn't go quite so well...

Caught the end of Friends and Matthew Perry looks frightening.

I've seen POW's who looked in better health. The guy looks like he's
lost 20-25 pounds really quick and it looks bad on him.

His face is drawn and he looks all bony, like a doper.

No way that the current look she got now was the usual. Looking
at most of her films, she is getting thinner and thinner. She was
way too thin in Jurassic Park. I was stunned when I saw her in
that film and thought - Whoa! man.

One of the plot lines in tonight's show had Chandler's boss constantly
patting him on the butt. All I could think everytime I saw him do
that was, ewwww, what butt, it's all bone, ucky.

When I saw Jurassic Park, I thought, "Look at the T-Rex! He's way to
thin!".

QCompson, who thinks Daphne is clueless, Fred is a disco swinger who's
secretly gay, Velma is a "Friend of Ellen". and Shaggy & Scooby are
just stoners. (I think the cast of "Scooby Doo" covers all of the
recent blind items).

She's been on ER for awhile, and I thought she looked great. She looked

It would help if he would buy some new (smaller size) clothes. He looks like

I *finally* caught "Friends" last night after several months (got bored with
the show) and agredd...he looks *horrid* I barely recognized him. Interesting
to note that he was here in Tucson a few months back with some "hockey gamefor
charity" situation and he looked much better then so whatever happened to him,
happened quickly.

I hadn't been watching Friends too closely the past few weeks--sometimes I
just listen while I'm on the computer or reading, but last night's episode
was an eye-opener, vis-a-vis Matthew Perry. He does look horrible, his
face is almost skeletal. Maybe the hiatus will do him some good, if he has
no movies out this summer we might not know till fall. But the change from
last year is disturbing, whatever its cause.

No kidding! I hadn't seen the show for a while and assumed all the
posts here about his weight loss were exaggerated (silly me, I know),
but I tuned in last week and was shocked by how ill he looked. All the
more shocking because I always thought of him as slim at his old weight.

Something's clearly wrong, whether it's coke again or an eating disorder
or a serious physical illness. The boy looks like a wraith.

It was stated on one of the gossip shows... Extra.. or some show of that
genre..
that apparently producers had told each of the male actors on the show
that they
needed to lose a few pounds. David Schwimmer has lost about ten pounds.
It hasn't been said how much weight LeBlanc has lost.... hmmm.... I'm
guessing that's because he hasn't lost any.
It has been rumored that the rest of the "Friends" cast has been very
concerned
about Perry and has repeatedly tried to get him to gain a little weight.
I wonder what the producers think about his emaciated look.

I have also noticed when Alicia Silverstone put on some weight the
tabloids were cruel. I guess its better for her to be an anorexic then a
healthy looking young girl.

Yeah, she have always been like that. Yes, she did grow on me,
especially after the way she manhandled Burt Reynolds (she even asked
how much did his toupee cost and so on, and questions on Lori and his
replies were really funny. Yes, Reynolds do have a sense of humour),
questioned Roseanna thoroughly about her ex, Mr Stupid, and made
fun of Pamela Lee Anderson's chest.

about how she wants to get pregnant. Honey, you ain't gonna get
knocked up with 0% body fat! I'd be amazed if she even menstruates,
as emaciated as she is.

She is also co-writer with Jennifer Saunders of Absolutely Fabulous. And
she hasn't grown on me (God forbid), the interviews are a step
backwards. Liked the Ruby Wax Show though. She redefines chutzpah (?).

The Globe had some article about how Celine is suffering from a
"stress-related" "stomach disorder" that landed her in the hospital.
They never used the words "anorexia" but they certainly sidestepped it.
All these mentions about how her stomach has high acid content and this
as-yet-undiagnosed illness is threatening her chances of becoming
pregnant. The article also quotes some doctor as saying that beating
this mystery illness and gaining some weight would make a pregnancy a
whole lot more likely. Hmmm... why would they kid glove her anorexia but
not another celeb's?

Paul, just what *is* it with you lately and body parts you don't have.

David, far more interested in the ones he does have.

She wasn't a co-writer, she was the script editor. Saunders wrote every
one of those all by herself.

Um..I don't think so. Saunders wrote all her episodes. I think Wax was
just a script editor.

Speaking of breath - one of my coworkers interviewed her and remarked
her breath had an "acrid stench", and also said her husband was a real
pain and she looked at him before answering any questions.

The whole thought of Celine Dion IS frightening. My dogs howl if we are
unfortunate enough to have one of her ads come on the TV advertising
whatever that thing is she records onto a CD (I think she refers to it as
singing). She is frightening to look at and has a frightening set of vocal
chords. Don't worry I'm not going to go into a diatribe about her
frightening personality (the sickly sweet substance that drips off her when
she converses makes me too nauseous).

Okay, this is a BIG cue to anorexia. The body is burning up muscle and
other stuff when it really wants FOOD! The same thing happens to people
on the noxious old Scarsdale Diet (they even warn you in the book about
"bad breath"!). Someone get Celine a HOT DOG, fergodsake.

Someone here in ASG who had worked with Celine once
told me that she actually eats like a horse and that she has
naturally matured from the pudgy teenager I saw singing at
Toronto's Eaton's Centre. Though, I'm still skeptical.

That stench is due to electrolyte imbalance. If you're dieting too much or
not eating enough, you will notice a sort of tinny taste in your mouth.
That's caused by electrolytes.

There was a story recently how poor celine was in the hospital with a
stomach acid condition. Maybe because she never eats. She is 5 foot eight
and weighs 108 and wonders why she can't get pregnant. Doesn't she get the
connection yet?

: >Pamela Anderson Lee. She looks terrible lately.


As much as I HATE to admit it, I saw her in court on Rivera Live, just
from the waist up, sitting in the witness chair, in her court case...in
other words, not done up for a publicity shot for a movie, nor yet the
ugly "Candids" the tabs like to shoot. Because it was in the courtroom I
am assuming this was the real Pamela on a good hair day with normal makeup
on, looking demure, hair up and curly, not Viper Room hair. Eyeliner a
lot heavier than I wear but nothing else looked that unnatural...like her
movie shots do (to me.) To make a long story short she looked great. If
I looked like that that's how I would go around all the time. I don't
know really how much was really natural that looked beautiful that day.
The "Baywatch" tan is all fake anyway, of course. She didn't have that
extreme lip liner on that looks kind of gross to me in her usual
appearances. And she was a lot more beautiful than I had given her
credit!

I had it for almost ten years -- 5 ft. 7 and 103 lbs. (I stopped
weighing myself at 103) and I was still looking in the mirror at my
"gigantic" rear.

Last Christmas I was going through a pile of old clothes with my sister
and she said, "Look at these kiddie clothes!"

She was holding up a pair of my old size 3 Calvins -- they literally
looked like doll clothes. It scared the HELL out of me! Believe me, old
Celine doesn't have ANY idea -- and if her husband and/or friends don't
help her she might go down Karen Carpenter Blvd. -- I almost did!

And back to Matthew Perry -- he's showing the same kind of denial, as
well. It's classic. Depression alone wouldn't account for it -- it is
something much more.

darkstar <dark...@sky.net:

While I agree that Pamela looked better than usual with her less-tarty
hair and makeup, she was also much more fully covered-up than usual. I
think the poster was referring to recent shots of her figure, which did
make her look frightening scrawny.

I agree that she is pathetcially skeletal, but that metallic taste and
breath is also a symptom of diabetes or pre-diabetes.
