I have no idea what the gossip sound like, but I do like Beth Ditto. She is a very photogenic person and every column of hers I've read has been interesting.
I don't know a single woman without body issues. I'm 5'10 and a size 12, and I hate the way I look. I don't think I could feel worse about my size if I was the same size as Beth, it's purely psycological.
And I feel like I'm generally a well adjusted person, I can't imagine what a person who's really into celebrity culture must feel about their body.
It's easy for you men folk to sit here and talk about how unhealthy she must be, but as woman I'm so incredibly pleased if anyone can over come the pressures to be thin and just be happy.
I'm less of the "big is beautiful" and more of the "My body is me, I have more important things to do than obsess about it"
I wish I could really follow that philosophy.
