This Is A Role Model?

This is who we consider to be a role model? I don't think so. Beyonce Knowles admitted to going on an all liquid diet to lose 20 pounds for her role in the upcoming movie Dreamgirls.

Let's call it what it is, starvation. She starved herself to lose 20 pounds for this role. I love how she insists that she needed to lose the weight. Why? Was it because you thought you were fat? Or was it because the powers that be for this movie told you that you were fat and needed to lose the weight? Have you taken a look in the mirror lately? You're not even close to being fat.

Another thing I find really interesting is that she says that she doesn't recommend it to people who aren't making movies. Really? I'm confused. So let me see if I have this straight. She doesn't recommend it to people who aren't making movies (i.e. people who aren't famous). But, it's okay for those who are making movie. Interesting logic there!!

But not to worry people. It's okay that Beyonce starved herself, oops, went on an all liquid diet to lose weight. It's okay because as soon as she was done filming the movie she put the weight back on. I ask again, this is a role model? What kind of message is this sending to all the Beyonce fans out there? What kind of message is this sending to anyone really? By doing this, she's conveying a message to the world that it's okay to do what she did. By doing this, she's conveying a message to the world that it's okay to do damage to your body, because the ends justify the means. Great job Beyonce. I wonder how many of your young female fans out there are going to go on the "Beyonce" diet now. Bravo Beyonce!! You're a great role model. NOT!!
