Celebrity BMIs
Sally Aquire offers a selection of body mass index information for a variety of celebrities. I am sceptical of the whole concept of BMI tending to think that while my Paris Hilton Diet has a way to go that it would be madness to shrink down to the number suggested by the medical profession. That said, I think this celebrity BMI site is useful in so far as there are plenty of folks out there who could use an extra cheeseburger or three.
Generally speaking, a healthy body mass lies between 18.5 and 25. A figure below 18.5 is classed as underweight, and anything above 25 is regarded as overweight.
Today's women are bombarded by images of ever-shrinking stars who seem to bear testimony to the belief that to be thin is to be happy and successful. It begs the question: how healthy are the celebrities we hold up as role models?
