Rachel Zoe, Gerard Butler Make New Year's Resolutions Even More Of A Lost Cause
There was a big hullabaloo this week over pictures of once-chiseled Gerard Butler gone to (minimal) flesh. Yesterday, photos of Rachel Zoe's ribcage caused a similar reaction, but for the opposite reason. This poses a dilemma for us slaves to celebrity culture. Which is worse: excess skin or excess thin?

The "uproar" over Butler's flab pleased some observers who thought it brought gender equality to Hollywood's timeless tradition of fatty bashing. Of course, the rising Scottish star kind of set himself up for failure after his CGI-enhanced pecs made the Spartan-Persian bloodbath movie 300 a global blockbuster. And Zoe, well, the celebrity stylist (and rumored horse tranquilizer-enthusiast) has always seemed to model her body after the narrow clothing hangers that display her flood-prone studio's couture frocks. But we think we could help Zoe find a solution to the mysterious dizzy spells chronicled on her show by suggesting she eat a sandwich (or at least those crabcakes from The Ivy that the beautiful people can never stop talking about).
Anyway, this body image schizophrenia has inspired me to continue my '09 balancing act: gut-busting meatball parms from Parisi combated with a slimming half pack a day's (exaggeration!) worth of Camel Lights.

Gerry's abs in 300 weren't enhanced by CGI, he worked hard for that body. He has always said he'sd only have a body like that once, it was too much work to get it that way, let alone keep it. I wish people would leave him alone...so he put on a few pounds over the holidays...he is human like the rest of us. He is always very sexy and handsome, no matter what shape he's in!

Big whoop,so what if he gained weight,he is entitled to just like the rest of us.Being a celeb he probably has to work harder as he is not only in limelight but being judged all the time by every Tom,Dick and Harry,and he always has said he loves his bread,potatos and deserts,and obviously he is not ashamed to be human just like the rest of us.

I prefer him overweight, because I like his large belly and the fact that his flabby arse hangs out his tight shorts and jiggles about. I wish I had a pudgy Gerry to hod onto... BTW, what the heck are "love handles"? Is it his bum?
