Money buys silence, it really looks like. Allegra Beck, the girl who inherited the Versace emperium, is not hitting any media attention. Despite what she looks like. She is seen as "all right" assumably, or she would have got a bit more attention?

The way she looks ... makes Mary-Kate Olsen look like a whale next to her.

So either a) the media is bought to be silent, and see that Allegra's appearance is ok, b) all photos like the one above of her, are ALL photoshopped (as if those of Mary'Kate were not?), or c) she os "allowed" to look tiny since she 'has a tiny frame', and Mary-Kate is supposed to not be that, because she is of Scandinavian heritage, or d) I am totally blind, and Allegra has been widely and worldwide covered by the media.

I don't think that I would have totally not noticed if she was in as big media flame as MK Olsen was.

And probably it's not even the media buying silence. Or I would believe it is far more annoying the amount of porn sites that show up when googling for her.

As how I got sidetracked to even notice there was anything weird going on with her, was by some comment how Liz Hurley looks so tiny and eating disordered. Some estimates taken orignally from some gossip site, suggest she is 175 cm and 48 kg. Seeing with the pictures she is framed with those numbers, there is plain no way, not even with a good makeup artist. 55 kg is more accurate. But then why does it matter? People buy magazines based on the "shocking stories" of eating disordered stars?

Ignore them. Leave the stars be as eating disordered as you leave the people in your house, school, workplace, or your cousins be. If people would really care what happens around them, things like this did not happen. Today a student tried to commit a suicide after returning to school for a 5 month treatment for her anorexia, to discover that her desk had been removed, and nobody noticed that she would be ready for a suicide, or .. she just "happened" to be jumping out of the window.

Morals: 1) money does buy silence, 2) eating disorders are sometimes nothing else than a way to sell women's magazines in bigger amounts, and 3) if you really care, care for the people around you, not for those you see the stories in tha magazines.
