Cheryl Cole: stop criticising women’s weight

Size zero Cheryl Cole, who is now a judge on X-Factor so can annoy you every Saturday night as well as every time you open the paper, has been moaning about the pressure on women to look a certain way.

And this pressure wouldn’t be at all helped by tiny little pop stars making the rest of us feel unwieldy at anything above size eight.

Anyway, Mrs Cole has defended bandmate Nadine Coyle’s thighs after they were exposed as dimpled with cellulite and mouthed off about reports on other bandmates’ weight. Oops.

She told Hello!: “There’s too much pressure on women of their size these days. Girls are constantly being told they’re either too fat or too thin, which is irresponsible.”

Cheryl then went on to do that classic think pop star thing of saying, well, you know, it used to be okay for women to be a womanly shape. Yeah, yeah, yeah Marilyn Monroe wasn’t actually a British size 16, it’s an urban myth.

“You can even see the cellulite on their bodies,” she said, referring to old school Hollywood glamourpusses.
“It’s really refreshing to see as women are criticized so cruelly today for having the slightest bit of fat or cellulite.
“Women looked like real women in those days. I was reading an old book about Hollywood starlets from the 1950s and loved the photographs inside. You can see the women’s true shapes as their pictures were never retouched.”
