Lainey’s gossip points out that Lindsay Lohan’s pupils are pinpoints in these recent pictures of her at the Malibu Celebration of Film Dinner on October 7th. I would say it’s the effect of the flashbulbs, but her eyes are like this in every single picture and she looks completely looped.

Lainey says that if Lohan drops a lot of weight quickly now you can probably guess how she did it:

According to MentalHelp.net, physical signs of drug abuse include:

Years ago I took ephedrine for a day and I couldn’t stand how hot and jittery it made me feel. If this stuff is stronger the effect must be intolerable.

Remember when Nicole Richie fainted while shopping at Kitson and adamently refused something to eat? Richie’s stylist, the pencil-thin Rachel Zoe, denies supplying her clients with diet pills or drugs, saying she’s “too much of a control freak” to take them. There are rumors around Hollywood to the contrary, but if she is telling the truth at the very least she sets a bad example with her own emaciated figure.

The article goes to cite use of the ADD drug Adderall as another quick-fix way to stop eating and get that coveted skeletal look. Women just go to their doctor and claim to have trouble focusing in order to score a prescription.

I lost 20 pounds in two months by eating right and exercising. It was a matter of finding the right formula to use for eating right and working out. My goal was to get to a size six, though, not look like a skeleton. This is an attainable goal if you set your mind to it. Six years ago I got fit quickly on Body for Life, and this year I lost my stubborn baby weight on Best Shape of your Life. (Body for Life is a great program, but you have to work out every day. For Best Shape of your Life you only workout 2-3 times a week. With each you eat small meals six times a day, and both programs feature workouts that take less than 45 minutes.)

Pills and supplements are quick fix catch-22s that can cause long-term life-threatening health problems. Unless you’re willing to sell your precious health to the devil, the only way to lose weight is through a sensible diet and exercise program and there are plenty out there that work.

There’s more at work than simple weight loss with these poor women, though. Victoria Beckham recently said that she thinks she looks terrible naked. Body dysmorphic disorder is a serious mental problem in which someone has a distorted perception of their body and obsesses about it to the point of doing themselves harm. If her tiny body will never satisfy Victoria, she’ll never lose enough weight to be happy with herself.

Katie Holmes was spotted out at a high-profile lunch with what many people assume was a wedding planner this Tuesday. The woman gestured as she spoke at length, and from the expressions Katie is making she seems to be talking about something important. X17 has a video of the lunch, and there were clearly plenty of photographers on hand to capture the moment.

Katie has lost all of her baby weight and then some, sparking people to speculate that Tom somehow made her shape up quickly. There was a report that Tom was “very concerned” about her weight, but I call bullshit on this story. It’s an old rumor based on false stories earlier in the year that Tom was overseeing Katie’s fitness plan from Buff Brides. As I mentioned at that time, I e-mailed with the owner of Buff Brides and she assured me that Katie was not working with her personally and that all quotes from here were fabricated, as was reported at the time.

Tom and Katie are said to be on “PR Offensive” since they released pictures of Suri in Vanity Fair. They’ve gone to several of Isabella’s soccer matches and have taken care to be seen out at dinner. Suri certainly has never been seen out with them - not even in a stroller, so I’m still saying there’s something strange going on there, even if the baby is being kept at home for religious reasons.

A wedding would be the next logical step for Tom and Katie. They’ve managed to raise themselves in the public estimation by getting out a lot more, and a fairytale wedding would do wonders for their image.

Whatever motivated Katie to shape up, she looks great. Let’s hope she’s not too influenced by her friend Victoria Beckham’s waif-thin look. Katie is said to be jetting off to Paris to attend fashion week with Victoria this weekend. Earlier reports that Katie was slated to play Posh in a movie about her life were false.

Nicole Richie was photographed outside the West Hollywood Recovery Center on 626 N Robertson Boulevard. I Googled the center and learned that it’s an informal recovery center that focuses on 12-step meetings. At the top of the search were results for Crystal Meth Anonymous meetings that are held there on Wednesday nights.

These pictures of Nicole Richie outside the West Hollywood Recovery center are said to be from 9/27 - Wednesday - the same day Crystal Meth Anonymous meetings are held there.

Here’s the schedule of meetings at the West Hollywood Recovery Center on Wednesdays. It is possible the Nicole went to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting “step study” and not a Crystal Meth Anonymous meeting as they are held at the same time. There is also a Nicotine Anonymous meeting at 8:30, but these pictures seem to be taken earlier than the 9:45 PM ending time:

Nicole has denied that she checked herself into an eating disorder clinic, as has been recently rumored. She wrote an exasperated message on her myspace blasting the rumors and saying that she’s annoyed that people keep bringing it up:

It’s long been rumored that Richie’s notorious stylist, Rachel Zoe, keeps her clients thin by serving as their drug dealer. Nicole may indeed be telling the truth that she doesn’t have an eating disorder, and her thin frame could be evidence of another addiction entirely.

If she is getting help, good for her. She seems really happy with Brody and hopefully she’ll kick whatever demons have been keeping her rail thin.

I’m calling this an exclusive because I believe I’m the first blogger to jump to this conclusion.

Update: It looks like late afternoon in these pictures not 8PM, the time the meeting ended, as commentor Red Beet mentions. It’s unknown what Richie was doing at the 12-step center.

Janet Jackson claims she gained 60 pounds to play in the movie “Tennesee,” and that when the role fell through all she was left with was the weight. She said the only time she was comfortable was when she was laying down, but that her boyfriend Jermaine Dupree made her feel good about herself and that their sex life never suffered.

It turns out that a love of fried food may be responsible for Janet’s weight gain, and not a movie role. Fox News claims that the part never required Jackson to gain weight:

Well, it was a good excuse and it doesn’t really matter now because Janet is back to her fit, half-dressed self on the cover of every magazine. It’s amazing how fast she shaped up, but it must not be good for her health to yo-yo like that.

In related news, Janet gives out sex toys to her backup dancers. Janet has admitted that she’s a fan of the “rabbit,” the multi-purpose vibrator made famous by “Sex and the City,” and now says that she makes sure to spread the joy to those closest to her:

Too much information, Janet.

David Beckham says that he makes sure his very thin wife, Victoria, gets nurishment. Her emaciated figure has many people speculating that she’s anorexic:

It was rumored last month that David had Victoria on a “pregnancy diet” meant to help her conceive. The famous British couple has said that they would like to add a girl to their family of three boys, but that they won’t be trying until next year.

David also said that he was behind Victoria’s decision to remove her hair extensions and sport a new bob hair do. He said that he didn’t like feeling the snarled extensions when he ran his fingers through her hair:

That’s really sweet. David seems to have been on to something, because the bob is the newest rage in celebrity hairstyles. Jessica Simpson, Kate Bosworth, and Madonna all recently changed their hairstyles to bobs.

Here is Victoria in a see-through dress outside a hotel in London on 9/18. She wore a slip beneath the dress, but it doesn’t seem to have worked. David looks pissed off in the car and may have been kept waiting for her. [via]

Nicole Richie needs some intensive therapy and a big ‘ol IV. The girl is wasting away. She seemed like she was doing better this summer, but then quickly lost the little bit of weight she had gained and now looks like she’s going to snap in two.

Her dad said a doctor evaluated her and said that her weight loss was due to stress, but was it a doctor that specializes in eating disorders? Is she really going to a clinic to get help as recent candids suggest?

Scarlett Johansson has spoken out about the Hollywood trend to be rail-thin, calling it unhealthy and unrealistic:

Commentors on the board where we found the pictures note that the woman out with Nicole may be a new assistant. She is shown taking her dog to the vet on 9/15.

Summer may be over, but Nicole Richie is in denial. She was spotted out buying yet another bikini to hang on her skeletal frame while cavorting for the paparrazi at the beach. Nicole revealed in an interview on the Tyra Banks show that it bothers her that the paparrazi want to photograph her eating and wearing bikinis, but she obviously gives ‘em what they want:

Richie can wear weird scarves around her neck while at the beach, but it must be too much trouble to put on a shirt over her bikini if she hates being photographed so much.

Nicole’s father, pop singer Lionel Richie, recently told a Swedish newspaper that he took Nicole to a doctor to get evaluated for anorexia, and that the doctor’s conclusion was that she was losing weight due to stress, not an eating disorder.

Most of us gain weight due to stress, because a nice piece of chocolate really calms the nerves, but what do I know about Hollywood?

Lionel also said that he worries for Nicole’s safety because of the hoards of paparrazi that follow her everywhere.

Here is Nicole shopping and looking um… polished and beautiful. Hopefully she’ll be too filled out to fit into that bikini next year. [via]

I take back what I said about Nicole Richie gaining a little bit a weight. She may have put on a few essential pounds a couple of weeks ago, but she looks like death warmed over again in these latest shots on the beach.

Keira Knightley is also taking the anorexic look a little too far. While she claims she’s doesn’t have the disorder, there’s no way she’s eating well if her chest looks like this.

Britain’s Daily Mail reports that Nicole broke into tears and wailed “I have a disease” when a photographer told her to gain some weight. I really doubt that happened, but she is thinner than she was just a few weeks ago. The British rag sounds the alarm about the two young paparrazi-targets’ weight:

Here are the pictures in question, found at Hollywood’s Best. X17 took the ones of Nicole on the beach.

People should dress to fit their body type and not try to deny that they’re super-thin or carrying a few extra pounds. We call it a muffin top when chubby chicks try to wear tight jeans and short tops, and we need a suitable nickname for thin women showing off their concave chests. I was going to write something about Keira’s “dead woman’s chest,” but figured that would be too cliche. Something about pancakes would be suitable, but it’s not about flat chests as much as sunken sternums.

knightley wore a gold Gucci dress with a non-existent neckline to the premiere of “Pirates of the Caribbean 2″ in London that highlighted her skeletal frame. She was absolutely shocked that people think she might be anorexic and said that oh, anorexia runs in her family but of course she doesn’t have that problem:

She handled the question well by saying that she’s glad she helped stir up interest in the issue and that it’s good that people are talking about it.

She’s obviously in denial that she’s so thin, and shouldn’t be showing off her tiny body. Kate Bosworth must realize how she looks because she wore a tight but flattering dress to the “Superman Returns” premiere and didn’t look like the stick that she is.

Knightley has tried to play off her thinness by saying that she doesn’t diet or exercise and that she admires curves on women. She said in an interview with Elle magazine that she eats “bowls” of pasta and drinks plenty of wine:

It is was true that Knightley is eating “bowls” of pasta it would show on her frame. It’s also very telling that she says she’s not comfortable with herself, and calls Johansson’s hot body “decadent flesh.” Johansson is fit with curves and is not chubby at all. If Knightley thought Johansson looked good she would call her hot or curvy but instead she uses a description that is more suited to a side of beef. She obviously has problems with normal-looking women and isn’t going to gain weight until she faces reality.

Here are some candids of Knightley in London on 7/2, at a “Pirates of the Caribbean” photocall with Orlando Bloom and at the UK premiere on 7/3. [via]
