As for the "chunky" comment... it never ceases to amaze me how tabloids and other media outlets always have an outpouring of sympathy when someone like Tracey Gold or Karen Carpenter suffers from anorexia or bulimia.... but then absolutely ridicule other famous women who've gained weight, like Stevie, Ann Wilson, and Delta Burke.
What kind of message is that?
"We want you to be healthy and happy... but only if you're not overweight, because then you just deserve to be mocked and humiliated."
The most ironic thing about it... the people making the cracks usually aren't all that attractive themselves!
