Do you buy this?

118 lbs & 5'9"?

In one of those internet searches that quickly gets off topic, I ran across this list of reported celebrity heights and weights. I know the camera adds 10 pounds and all that jazz, but it seems like if some of these women actually weighed what this list says, there would be public outcry. Some of the more startling weights are Gisele Bundchen, Katie Holmes and Taylor Swift. I just plain don't believe Naomi Campbell's. Am I crazy? I'm tall and I know that these weights would be positively scary on me.

There is no way Blake Lively weighs 123 pounds. Her boobs weigh 15 pounds each alone. She is probably more like 135. And that would still make her very, very skinny.

For the record, I am 5'9" and 140 (I'm not afraid) and some of these girls are skinnier than me, but when I weighed 120, I looked like a skeleton, and they do not. The liars.

Oh, I just noticed that Mariah Carey and I are the same height and weight. I think she needs to lose weight, so I guess that means I do too.

Ok, let's compare Gwen Stefani and Beyonce. There is no way. Only an inch apart and so few pounds apart. Not buying it. I like meat on bones, so I really don't care if Beyonce has a big ol' meaty ass but, no, I don't buy a lot of these weights.

That is absolutely not true... the musicians are the ones that are more realistic but the other ones have very good PR people or their scales are actually out of batteries :)

Late to the party, but the Julia Roberts height thing is a joke. I saw her in houston when she was married to Lyle Lovett, and I'm 5'8-she was at least 3-5 inches shorter than me.

I love that this is such a hot topic. It's insane that these weights are soooo off. I think we can all agree, fudging a couple pounds is normal, but this is borderline in need of a PSA with NBC's "the more you know" jingle.

The weights are off but so too are the heights. Everyone wants to sound taller and skinnier than they are in fact.
