I’m serious! Angelina, in your current pin-thin state you’re undermining all the positive work you do as a UN Goodwill Ambassador and as $20 million leading lady action heroine Evelyn Salt.

Angelina Jolie, I applaud you for kicking butt for working moms everywhere, proving that a 35-year-old mother of six can pull in massive crowds to movie theaters better than almost any leading man. You’re the Annie Oakley of our time. And you couldn’t be a better example of putting your money and your presence where your mouth is. You’ve donated millions to needy women and children in Haiti, the Sudan, and more, and made dangerous trips into Afghanistan and to bring attention to the plight of victims of war and natural disaster. But if you want to be an unassailable role model for women, especially young girls and your own daughters, you NEED to gain weight. Here’s the truth — the bottom line is you’re abnormally thin. Your legs are like sticks, and your arms and hands are so thin, the veins pop out. At 5′8″, you may weigh as little as 100 lbs, according to weight experts. I’ve seen you in person. You’re beautiful, but stick thin. I believe that you need to think about your own health and about rounding out the image you present to women. You have no reason to worry that you’ll look too heavy on film. Believe me, women and men will love you with more womanly curves. So use your considerable power to influence women to eat healthily as well as donate to the less fortunate, combine career and momhood AND show that anything men can do on the film screen, women can do just as well… or better! First of all, let me say that I want to applaud the author of this article. Too many articles and websites jump on the Jolie bandwagon saying she is some sort of perfect goddess when it is clear the woman is underweight. I always found this incredibly ironic since she is so worried about starving children in the world and yet she is starving herself. Good for you Bonnie for having a sound mind and the sense to comment in regards to this. Second, these replies here by the readers just make my head shake. Unbelievable. There is a reason why there is so much defense for Jolie claiming either the absurd (”she doesn’t look unhealthy”) to the absurdly apologetic (”Better too thin than too fat. Fat causes alot more health problems..”). As seen here, there are people out there that believe that Angelina Jolie looks great as she does now and you have one place to blame for this: The fashion industry. The fashion industry has pushed underweight and non-curvy women to the fore front ever since the mid to late 60s. They are the reason why curvy women that were once mainstream back in the days are no longer seen as often as they were. And it’s thanks to its dominance over the mainstream media, which has been going on for decades now, that women that have been pushed in the mainstream as sexy and highly attractive are almost always underweight. Almost all mainstream actress and mainstream models in the U.S. are underweight. The result of this is that you now have generations of people that have grown up with largely these images of women in magazines, movies, TV and even websites that have been given the quality of “beautiful”, “sexy”, “desirable”, etc… and believe that this is how women should look like. Anything else is “fat” and much of the time that woman is not fat whatsoever. So basically people have had their views on women totally distorted and now cannot tell if a woman is underweight and when she has actually become overweight. Angelina Jolie is underweight. She looks sickly in fact. This is not an opinion as she clearly is not well. And anyone claiming she was “always skinny” has a short term memory. Go back to her earlier film roles and you will not see Jolie this bad. And this isn’t something recent with her. I remember watching “Wanted” and that shot of her coming out of a pool that was meant to be sexy. Coming from a man here, I can tell you it was such a disturbing sight because it almost looked like she had an X Ray shining on her since you can see bones sticking out. It wasn’t sexy at all. And one more thing. No one is talking about overweight people or the obesity issue in this country. I notice a lot of defenders of underweight women always mention this but it is nothing more than a straw man. Both are separate issues with separate reasons for existing. In this case, it is the fashion industry that is the source of this problem.
