I agree with the sentiments expressed in the Victoria's Secret models thread... they are unrealistically skinny, probably not very healthy, and the messages sent by the fashion industry in using these women as icons are disgusting.
But I was wondering... what about actresses like Jessica Biel? She looks fit and reasonably muscular in photos... is she a realistic inspiration? What do I do to look like that?
Various sources claim she is 5'8 and 108-112 lbs (yikes!) but that doesn't sound right... I am the same height, she looks like she has more muscle, and there is no way I have 30 more pounds of fat.
What do you all think about her? How about Jessica Alba? Charlize Theron? Cameran Diaz? (my fave celeb bodies)

Ughhhhh Charlize Theron.... *fapfapfapfapfapfap*
I love that woman. She's naturally very slender, and some will say that she's too thin (especially on these forums).
Jessica Alba and Jessica Biel are very realistic inspirations. Not overly thin like most actresses who are sucked into the pressures of being stick-thin, still have the feminine child-bearing hips and curves in their bodies, yet still have muscle on their bones.
I don't remember where I heard this from, but supposedly Jessica Alba has said that obesity runs in her family, so she works out to avoid that.

I can't imagine that Jessica Biel only weighs around 110 lbs at 5'8". Based on photos of her that I've seen, I'd guess her more like 130-135lbs. But as far as hollywood physiques go, I'd say she is pretty heathly and that she is setting a good example.
My hollywood physique idol is Madonna. She looks hot even at 40 and its quite obvious that she hits the iron seriously.The fight is won or lost in the gym.

Jessica Alba, like so many other celebrities has reported to struggling with an eating disorder. Jessica Biel def. gives more of that sporty/fresh/pretty type of attitude off, and I would rather have her physique. But in all honesty I would say keep your expectations in check.. celebrities aren't the only ones who you can model your ideal physique after. I personally try to stay away from it because by all we all know how much airbrushing and retouching, tuck this, nip that, smush these together...etc goes into any photo or even tv appearance with real A-list celebs. I personally model my desired body image after that of athletes .. who AIM to look like they can kick butt!

I really would like to know who puts out the myths of what people think is sexy. I can`t speak for every guy. On my job it`s a very diverse bunch of guys, different races and colors. For the most part we love curves, like Jessica Biel,J lo and Beyonca(spelling) Most models unless,they are half nude would not turn alot of heads walking down the street, with no hips,thighs or butt.

LOL at the models not turning heads... but it's so true. I've always worked with a lot of guys and kind of became one of the boys. Very few of them were interested in the skinny girls unless they appeared provocatively posed in little or no clothing, otherwise it was the curvy girls they were chasing.
