But as soon as they put on weight, "What happened to this actresss?", "Mooo", "Lay off the cheeseburgers lady!"
It depends on how much weight they put on. For example, Drew Barrymore has gained some lbs over the years, but I'm definitely not among those who would call her fat or overweight. I don't think she's hot though, mainly cuz of her weird-looking lips.

One actress who's gained some weight since she first burst onto the scene is Eliza Dushku. And I personally think she looks better now than she did back when she was originally cast as Faith.

Couldn't agree more. Fugly with no talent.

Look at her jaw line (one of several things that looks....altered)....Dr. Giggles must do well with his practice.

I wonder why we as a society still accept the altering of natural beauty.

Well, technically, as viewers we have no reason to care whether or not she's happy, but if anything we should care about how she looks. That's the only way we know her after all.

I missed her on Letterman, but I did catch her on MTV's Diary this weekend. I thought she looked amazing, maybe a little bit too skinny but definitely not Calista Flockhart skinny. I thought she also had an amazing personality on the show, and now IMHO I think she is one of the coolest actresses out there today.

What do you want, a big huge fat nasty butt like J Lo?
I thought she looked great and sexy. Americans have gotten so fat that whenever they see a nice thin woman they assume they much be anorexic or sick... in europe almost all the women look like that... are they all anorexic over there?

For the record, she looked good on Leno last night. Still skinnier than snot, but her breasts didn't appear quite as shrunken.

It is attitudes like this that destroy young girls' perceptions of their body image.

I thought she looked great and sexy. Americans have gotten so fat that whenever they see a nice thin woman they assume they much be anorexic or sick... in europe almost all the women look like that... are they all anorexic over there?
Women in Europe chain smoke 700 cigarettes a day. They don't have time to eat.

What Europe did you just get back from? When I was over there I saw mostly average builds, a lot of skinny ones, and a few hefty as well. Not as large on average as the US, but certainly not the "Continent of the Waifs" you describe.

I, for one, would gladly do both J-Lo AND Brittany Murphy. Heck, even at the same time.

How generous of you! I'm sure they will both be relieved to hear that someone is nice enough to take pity on them!

I have never cared for her much but I thought she gave a strong performance in "Spun". Since you guys are talking "racks" so much, I'll just mention that In "Spun", I liked John Leguizamo's package in the sock

Hmmmm, this is an interesting thread! I think she is a total knockout... and when I saw her on Letterman I didn't think of the word "skinny" at all. I really like her personality AND looks.

Well, I think she's an excellent character actress -- which is what she's been for most of her already-long career. I don't really buy that she's a leading lady, which is what she's now being sold as, but for years she's never been less than good in quirky supporting parts, and she seems to work hard (her large filmography would seem to bear that out). I'm a King of the Hill fan so she also gets points for being on that show and for being so good on it (as Luanne and, for the first four years, Joseph).

She is very thin, though, and she looks so different from role to role, which was an asset as a character actress but not as a wannabe star (she doesn't have her own "look"). I have no idea of the cause for her weight-loss and I'm not very good at speculating. I can definitely think of other young, unnaturally skinny women in Hollywood I consider more worthy of scorn, though.
