Even when the afflicted is the singer of a woefully named (Boom!? In the middle of the War On Terrorism?), underwhelming World Cup song. No, it really isn't. http://entertainment.msn.com/news/article.aspx?news=112854
Man, I'm really pulling for this girl. She's battled other health problems in the past and still come out on top. Plus I really like a few of her songs. If I were a religious man I'd pray for her, but since I'm not... well, at least I can keep her in my thoughts. By the way, that's a great sig line Michael K.
yeah, I know what you mean...she's seemed to have a tough go at it....she even had to fight her record company when she got sick trying to get a thin as they wanted her and then she said no more and that she wasn't going to have an eating disorder just because they wanted her thin.
That's so f-ed up - why would the record companies think we'd prefer to look at some sickly waif like Avril Lavigne?
I bet she was bummed that she had to tell her doctor her real age. She's the biggest age fibber since Taylor Dayne.
as for the rail-thin aspects, it seems well-past time for men (real men, not frat boy d1ckheads) to stand up and confront the part of our collective psyche that worships thin-ness. i had no idea she went through all this (not being a fan of her style of....'music'), but i trust what aimer wrote. it's a monstrous pain-in-the-a$$ that "real women have curves" is bandied as a slightly ironic movie title, when it's simply tautological. (i also have a very close friend who has battled crohn's disease. she even lapsed in to a coma for 3 months; this is nastynastynasty stuff.) sorry, i guess this isn't the thread for sermons like this. it just ticks me off, the extent to which some women feel they have to torture themselves. and no, there's nothing funny about cancer. well, hot damn: i'm sufficiently bummed now. happy saturday!
Excuse me, I now have to go fill up my SUV with the same amount of gasoline that Qatar produces in a month, and eat much more than I have to. UNITED WE STAND.
