Once you reach a certain age, your body and its metabolism changes and even though I would still widely be considered slim, I am by no means the weight I was when I was 17 and never will be again. When vertebrae is visible on a 30 year old woman, there is something else going on. And isn't it Nicole Richie who's all "I eat what I want, whenevah" and, well, look at her.

Don't worry, I won't go monting a soapbox about skinniness in Hollywood, I understand why it exists. I just can't say that I buy it when women are emaciated and claim to not have a problem.

...and although Pompeo's dress was passable, the greasy helmet she called her hair was enough to drive the whole look into the ground.
That depends though, there is a gene that some people have that keeps them from gaining weight. My roommate is 33 and you can see her vertebrae but she also EATS. Seriously, I would like to smash those big bowls of ice cream into her face. She does mostly watch it but she eats way more than people would think. Although she is at a healthy weight I think at 5'9" 130lbs. Nothing like Ms Ritchie.
