That is true,it still happens though.

Sadly, yes. The Bridget Jones thing always made me a bit sad. Here was this woman heralded as a champion of the 'normal' but still incredibly sexy women who, we all knew as we were watching the movie, went to shocking lengths to return to resembling a blonde lollipop in the weeks after shooting finished. Quite disturbing, really. OK, she could have done with being a little lighter than she was in Bridget Jones, but Renee Zellwegger appears to believe that 'emaciated' is the better look. Depressing stuff.
