West All-Stars Prevail

Kobe Bryant leads the Western Conference NBA All-Stars to a 152-149 exhibition win over the Eastern All-Stars. Kobe in his 13th All-Star game passes the legendary Michael Jordan for most points scored in All-Star games. For this generation, Kobe is watermark for NBA excellence.

We interrupt this blogpost to report a crime against womanhood that just occurred at the Oscar awards in Hollywood:

The beautiful, luxuriously dressed sex symbol actress Angelina Jolie, who I admired in the movie SALT, just presented the best original screenplay award wearing a stunning black dress and exposing a torso and upper limbs resembling that of a concentration camp survivor from World War II.

The Oscar Awards should really consider banning any and all women from stepping onto the red carpet much less presenting an award if they appear undernourished and anorexic. The message being sent to young women throughout the world encourages serious eating disorder illnesses. Angelina's naked arms had a bonechillingly (pun intended) deformed look.

And the saddest part is many women along with Angelina herself, probably feel she's too fat. I pray Angelina is well.

Here's the hotline for Eating Disorders outreach. Help for the Disease is only a phone call away:
800-841-1515

It appears I'm not alone in my assumptions about Angelina Jolie. I wrote this post moments after my shock from viewing Angelina's frail body at the awards. At the time there were few if any full length pictures of her on the web. The majority of the media were talking about how beautiful Angelina appeared, showing complimentary pictures of her on the red carpet. Now that all the pictures are out it seems folks are rechecking their idea of what constitutes beauty and healthy. There's now definitely a nation-wide concern about Angelina's health.

We must remember that Hollywood's idea of patient treatment is body enhancements, plastic surgery and liposuction. Oops my apology, they have a new name for liposuction, Lipoplasty(Fat Modeling). Shame on Hollywood for ignoring the health risks of one of its own and playing the part of an enabler to Oscar winning perfection.
