I am not a fan but I watch The Soup on the E! channel and saw a clip of her going bersurk over a picture, that I think US ran, of her in a bathing suit on the beach. Accompanying the picture was an article about her rapid weight gain since leaving Victoria's Secret. In the clip from her show that The Soup ran, she was going on and on about how she doesn't care about weight, she's healthy, something about young girls & body image.

So, today I was in the checkout lane at the grocery store and she's on the cover of some magazine, I forget which, People maybe. She's in a bathing suit and the article excerpt accompanying the picture said: "How I lost 30 lbs".

I don't care what she does but what message is this sending to all of those "healthy" fans who she spoke to on that particular episode of her show? Thoughts?

BUt maybe she didn't, I saw the picture on Life and Style magazine half the time they get those pictures from some place and just put them on the cover. From what I understood she wore that bikini in Cannes so Life and Style could have gotten that bikini shot from a picture that was taken of her in Cannes and used it for the cover and they wrote an article about her. The article in Life and Style isn't an interview with her it's an article about her which means it wasn't an article granted by her.
