90210 My Goodness

April 16, 2008 · 1 Comment

Jennie Garth

Beverly Hills 90210 was THE show when I was younger. My girlfriends and I used to watch it over the phone with each other.

Now, a new version is coming back to television. Click here for more details on the new premise.

Rumor has it that Jennie Garth will be joining the cast of the 90210 spinoff. She was always my favorite character on the show. I hope it’s true.

What other cast members would you like to see make a return to the zip code?

France Targets Anorexia in the Media

April 15, 2008 · 3 Comments

“The French National Assembly has passed a groundbreaking bill which seeks to criminalize the promotion in the media of extreme thinness.” — BBC News

This bill targets Web sites and publications that encourage anorexia among young girls and women.

If the bill is approved in France’s Senate, stiff fines and jail time could result for those seeking to promote extreme thinness by encouraging girls to lie to their doctors and telling them what are the easiest foods to bring back up.

There are more than 40,000 anorexic women in France.

In the U.S. we don’t know how many women are anorexic because most cases are not reported. If you know someone you suspect may have an eating disorder, encourage them to get help. They can contact the National Eating Disorders Association helpline at 800-931-2237 or the National Women’s Health Information Center at 800-994-9662.
