HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Scarlett Johansson is fed up with the tabloids continuing to feed the public's fascination to look like a star.
The 24-year-old actress writes on the Huffington Post that she was pushed over the edge by several recent articles that claimed she had lost 14 pounds while training for "Iron Man 2."
I'm a petite person to begin with, so the idea of my losing this amount of weight is utter lunacy," writes Johansson. "If I were to lose 14 pounds, I'd have to part with both arms. And a foot. I'm frustrated with the irresponsibility of tabloid media who sell the public ideas about what we should look like and how we should get there."
The young star points out that as many as 10 million females and 1 million males living in the U.S. have either anorexia or bulimia eating disorders.
"I'm someone who has always publicly advocated for a healthy body image and the idea that the media would maintain that I have lost an impossible amount of weight by some sort of 'crash diet' or miracle workout is ludicrous," says Johansson. "I believe it's reckless and dangerous for these publications to sell the story that these are acceptable ways to looking like a 'movie star.'
"It's great to get tips on how to lead a healthier lifestyle, but I don't want some imaginary account of 'How She Did It!' I get into and stay in shape by eating a proper diet and maintaining a healthy amount of exercise. The press should be held accountable for the false ideals they sell to their readers regarding body image — that's the real weight of the issue."
Johansson says she hopes to media corrects the problem and does away with the harmful messages they feed the public.
"I would be absolutely mortified to discover that some 15-year-old girl in Kansas City read one of these 'articles' and decided she wasn't going to eat for a couple of weeks so she too could 'crash diet' and look like Scarlett Johansson," she says.
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Oprah Winfrey admits that she's "falling off the wagon" when it comes to her longtime health battle and now weighs 200 pounds.
"I'm mad at myself," the 54-year-old media mogul shares in the January issue of her O magazine, according to an advanced copy made available to The Associated Press.
"I'm embarrassed … I can't believe that after all these years, all the things I know how to do, I'm still talking about my weight," Winfrey continues. "I look at my thinner self and think, 'How did I let this happen again?' "
The talk-show host explains that an out-of-balance thyroid helped lead to "a fear of working out," which has pushed her weight up ever since she tipped the scales at 160 in 2006.
"I was so frustrated I started eating whatever I wanted — and that's never good," she says of the impact on her diet.
The Mississippi native writes that becoming thin is no longer her top priority, instead she wants "to be strong, healthy and fit." She is planning to address her weight on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" when she kicks off her "Best Life Week" on Jan. 5.
Winfrey recently admitted to AP Television that her weight gain has proven challenging when it comes to picking out her attire for next month's inaugural ball for President-elect Barack Obama.
"I had a dress on the vision board, but I'm not sure that's gonna fit," she confessed. "So I have to work on something else."

Mendes, who exploded to fame behind her sexy role in 2001's "Training Day," says she has no problem showing off her sex appeal.
"I love it, but it's not important to me to always be thought of as sexy," the Miami-born, Los Angeles-raised star explains. "I like it when it doesn't limit my career. It's a part of my life, but on a secondary plane."
As for how she keeps herself in shape, Mendes says it all comes down to a good diet and plenty of exercise.
"I try not to go crazy, but yes, I pay attention to what I eat," she says. "I try to stay away from pasta, bread, cakes, sweets, cookies and ice cream."
