They want her to do what?!?

I've never watched that show Gossip Girl, nor do I have any plan to, but I am aware that every girl on there weighs about 80 lbs. Well, apparently, it is believed that they told Hilary Duff to lose weight. Now, if this is true, they haven't officially said it because, as you can imagine, there would be a backlash against them for doing so.

As you can see, Hilary is in no way fat. Yes, she's not stick thin like the rest of the cast, which is the reason they want her to allegedly drop some lbs. According to them, "she won't fit in." WTF?!? Not to be mean, but there's always a bigger friend. Not saying that Hilary is the bigger friend, but rather she is more of what a real woman looks like.

On top of all this, Hilary is not someone you want to be telling to lose weight. She has had issues with her weight in the past. She was chastised for being too chubby in her younger days, then she was too skinny, and now that she's finally happy with her body, these producers want her to lose weight because the rest of the cast thinks texting is more important than eating.

What do you think? I personally think she should make a stand (being the first one to do so), put her foot down and say no to going on a diet just to fit in. All the girls I knew in school ranged in sizes from sticks to making the Earth shake. I've never seen anyplace where they're all the same size. They should let Hilary be herself, and get some more realistic size girls on that show. That's just me, though.
