While thumbing through this morning’s posts about last night’s Emmy Winners, I was surprised to read that Reuters <\/a>characterized Alec Baldwin as “the portly actor” and Rob Lowe as the “svelte” actor.
\nCan you imagine if they’d described any female actors by their body type? Is there a double standard here? Was it ‘wrong’ or ‘mean’ to call Alec ‘portly?’ If yes, do I need to defend him? Does he need the help of Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a>?
\nAlec, if you are reading this, are you truly upset??? You said you’d trade your Emmy to look like Rob? Come on!? Really?<\/em><\/strong> If you are in need of weight loss coaching, give me a ring!
\nHere follows the Reuters wrap-up<\/a> and ‘size’ comparison: Alec Baldwin vs. Rob Lowe
\n“5:50 P.M. BEST COMEDY ACTOR: ALEC BALDWIN (“30 ROCK”), for the second year. He dedicates his award to the show’s producer, Lorne Michaels — “the greatest boss you could ever have.” The award was presented to the portly actor by the svelte Rob Lowe. <\/strong> “To be honest, I’d trade this to look like him,” he says. Baldwin’s co-star Jane Krakowski struggles to hold back tears.”
\nFor the full skinny, go the Emmy Winners<\/a> go to Reuters.
\nCelebrity Weight:
\nWhoopi Goldberg weighs in: 174 pounds<\/a>.
\nKirstie Alley: Stuck in a fat suit?<\/a>
\nKathy Ireland: Overweight. Overwhelmed<\/a>
