"It's disheartening [when the media focuses too much on all the weight she's gained and lost for her acting parts], because it is a reflection of what
it is that we value, and it is a superficiality that does not
deserve the focus of energy that it gets. It's boring -- and it
sends wrong messages."
From a new Reuters article....

Holla, Renee!
She's succinct--and she nails it.
All the hoopla about her weight loss sends the wrong messages about which traits and values are important in a girl/woman.
We all know that today there are limitless opportunities for girls and women... and yet our pop culture continually sends the message that being thin is of the utmost importance by the topics/traits/people etc it continues to hype, right alongside all the positive messages.
Me and Renee, we might have to team up on this issue....
Yay Renee! Celebrities are important, but just as important is providing girls with real life role models who KNOW they are dead sexy just the way they are...
