The Star Skinny
New Jersey, United States
 
I’m a freelance health writer and entertainment reporter, so I alternate between stalking the stars and digging up info on diet and fitness trends. Sometimes, I do both—hence this blog.

But while the celebs I mentioned above all have actual careers beyond their calorie intake—yes, even Nicky—there’s one person who has literally ridden the coattails of her weight woes for eighteen years now. Can you guess who it is?

So, I’m not the only one who can’t resist those evil peddlers who lurk outside the grocery store...you know, Girl Scouts. Looks like Reese Witherspoon heeds the call of the cookie as well. So how much of a calorie splurge are they?

I was poring through the spring-sale stock at Threadless and came across a tee that's part LOL, part bummer. See what you think...
