Curvy is the new fat



At 33, Kate Winslet has looked so stunning on the red carpet this awards season that's it's hard to believe she was once considered one of Hollywood's curviest stars during her 'Titanic' days.


Tabloids and the like have been using "curvy" as a euphemism for fat for a while now, actually. So they've taken a word once considered a compliment and turned it into an insult. But a very subtly veiled one; no one can actually object to being called curvy, but it's an insult all the same.

Of course, Kate Winslet, who was once referred to as Kate Weighs-alot by some bitchy director (I forget whom), isn't fat in either photo. But the allegedly fat photo was taken more than 10 years ago, so her makeup is dated. Add an unflattering hairstyle and a natural paleness and she's deemed unattractive.

Demi Moore uses 'highly trained leeches'

To "detoxify" her blood.
“I’ve always been somebody looking for the cutting edge of things that are for optimizing your health and healing, so just a week ago I was in Austria doing a cleanse and part of the treatment was leech therapy,” she told Letterman.

“These aren’t just swamp leeches, these are highly trained medical leeches,” she said. “These are not just some low-level scavengers; we’re talking high-level blood-suckers.”

Yeah, those highly trained leeches make all the difference. Be sure your leeches are board certified before undergoing this therapy.
