Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen has recently alarmed some fans with her thin figure, but she says she doesn’t feel pressure to be skinny.

The 5′ 8″ actress, who plays Jenny Humphrey in the hit TV show, said she didn’t even workout, blaming it all on her good genes.

“I’m just kind of naturally thin,” 15-year-old Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen explained to Us Weekly. “My mom’s really thin, and I’m tall. Good genes.”

The 5 foot 8 inch star credits a healthy diet and exercise for keeping her trim, pointing out that she walks a lot in New York City where she lives.

“I just eat healthy. I walk a lot because I live in New York,” she said. “So I try to walk a lot instead of taking cabs.

“I should probably start working out or something,” she added. “I dance, so I guess that’s a full workout. I’ve been dancing since I was three, so I guess that would be it.” [Source]

Eva Longoria Parker either has a very weird sense of humor, or she’s got some serious body issues. The skinny actress apparently thinks she’s fat!

Over the summer, Eva gained a few pounds for her role as Gabrielle on “Desperate Housewives“, and everyone assumed she was pregnant (because she had what appeared to be a tiny baby bump). Now Eva talks about her weight gain (what weight gain?) in the November 2008 issue of Allure magazine.

On her fuller figure:
“I stopped working out and gained about seven pounds over the summer, which is a lot for a small person. Every magazine is tearing me apart … I never went up a size. I just got rounder. I’m still a size 0.”

On growing up thinking she wasn’t beautiful:
“My nickname was Prieta Fea, which means ‘Ugly Dark one’ in Spanish. I didn’t have a boyfriend. My sisters were so mean to me. They used to say I was adopted, and ‘we picked you up at the hospital. You were the extra baby that day.”

To read the rest of Eva‘s interview, pick up Allure magazine’s November issue, on newsstands now.

As if she’s not thin to begin with! LOL! But then, people are used to seeing a skinny Eva Longoria — thus, when pictures of her looking like she gained weight, baby rumors began. And to put to stop to the weight gain talk sweeping the Web, Eva jokingly told the paparazzi recently to make her look thin as she exited her car above.

That’s what Ricky Gervais wants! FYI, he’s a comedian and star of the much funnier British version of “The Office.” He says there’s not enough stigma involved in being overweight, so people (including himself) aren’t motivated to change. He says people should be greeting their hefty compatriots with shouts of “fatty.” LOL! Here’s what Ricky shared to his podcast listeners,

“I don’t think there’s enough stigma. With all the political correctness now, and the fact that food is so refined, there’s no stigma any more. I laugh about being fat but I should be ashamed. I should walk down the street and have people shouting ‘Fatty’. That’s what I want, to get me out of it.”

Ricky Gervais also got some ideas about grocery store layouts, saying all the unhealthy foods should be “behind a thin door” or require crawling through a tube to get to them. He also notes that he has to buy new clothes every three months because he gets too fat for his old ones. YIKES! Now that’s definitely not healthy!

Karolina Kurkova, one of the world’s hottest models, was called “fat” by the Brazilian media.

Kurkova was slammed in the country for appearing in a bikini with what critics called “back fat, love handles and cellulite” at the Cia Maritima show during Sao Paulo Fashion Week.

An article in a Brazilian paper about 5’11″ Kurkova described how “shocked” the audience was when she appeared looking uncharacteristically chubby with “cellulite on her butt.” [Source]

I don’t even want to comment on how ridiculous this is. Just because she’s looking healthy, they’re calling her “fat”?! Have they already forgotten Ana Carolina Reston, the Brazilian model who died less than two years ago from anorexia?

Halle Berry got back into shape just two months after giving birth to her first child. Apparently, her secret to losing her pregnancy pounds is just eating healthy and exercising (and probably being in love too, as she just got engaged to her boyfriend and baby-daddy Gabriel Aubry).

In terms of diet, Berry is eating lots of vegetables, lean proteins and complex carbohydrates, as well as drinking a large quantity of water.

The 41-year-old actress also works out for 60 minutes, five days a week with celebrity trainer Ramona Braganza.

Their sessions include three cardio segments – on the elliptical, as well as kickboxing and then a stairs or hill climb – then also does a strength-training routine that include abdominal work and leg exercises. [Source]

Here are some pictures of Halle at the 15th Annual EIF Revlon Run/Walk for Women in Los Angeles last week.
