Tara Reid admits her body has some flaws -- she's living with scars on her stomach from a 2004 botched liposuction, for one. But she's had quite enough of the Internet attacks, and she's telling everyone that she's fine with the body she's got. Now stop picking on her. Hey, we don't think she looks all that bad.

"I've been a media target for years now," says the 32-year-old. "It does hurt my feelings, but what can I do? I have to move on." Which is exactly what she's doing.

She may have battle scars and her abs may be uneven, but that doesn't stop Tara from feeling good about herself. Nope, the star keeps busy with her clothing line Mantra. Why the name mantra? Because "red is for love, green for luck, white for peace – everything gives you a mantra of the day," Tara says. "I made this line about feeling good about yourself."

Would the site of your naked body wolfing down a sandwich be enough to turn you off lunch? That's the premise behind the 'Naked Lunch' diet idea: Eat your meals in the nude in front of the mirror, and the site of all your flaws exposed -- love handles included -- will cause you to think twice about taking a second helping. Although it should go without saying that this should be practiced only for at-home meals. And avoid eating hot soup.

Extreme? Yes. Does it work? Maybe; I've never tried it -- but I can definitely see the logic behind this. What do you think? Would you eat in the buff? Would it keep you from eating too much?

There's been several notable scandals in magazine airbrushing lately (arms that get bigger or smaller, pounds that melt away while boobs swell to a new cup size) but so far it hasn't dampened much of the industry enthusiasm for showing celebrities in that bizarre fake light with flawless, plastic skin and crazy unrealistic bods. Aside from the completely whackadoo body image stuff it promotes, I actually think lots of the photos look creepy. I'm hoping this shiny rubber people thing is replaced by a grittier, more natural aesthetic. Well, you can see for yourself what some famous people look like if you check out the iWANEX portfolio. They are a professional photo retouching company and they rework folks like Cameron Diaz and Cate Blanchett into smooth, strange weirdness.

It's kinda fun to toggle back and forth and see famous people shrink and grow right before your eyes. No need for us to feel so bad about our own eye wrinkles and flyaway hair. And I think the celebs look best pre-retouch too. Via Strollerderby.
