My friend Christian Toto makes an important point in his post about the "reality" of the record-breaking thriller, "Paranormal Activity." The movie feels real not just because the actors use their real names and the footage all appears to be from their home-made video. It's co-star Katie Featherston's body. She has a lovely figure, but it is not the hyper-toned Size 0 we are used to seeing on screen.
Featherston's conventional figure gives her movie an added sense that what we're watching isn't some artificial construct - even though it is just that.
It's likely the next time you see her on screen she'll be thinner, leaner and more like her Hollywood peers. But for "Paranormal Activity" her figure proves a very normal part of the film's gimmick.
Toto says he likes the way Featherston looks now and wishes more actresses would appear on screen that way. But with the tabloid fat police shrieking about "mom jeans" for any actress who wears as much as a Size 4, I suspect that Featherston is already working with a personal trainer for some upcoming "how I lost 10 pounds" magazine story.

Thanks, Richard! I agree that this obsession with weight is appalling. All we can do is what we are doing now -- speaking out and sending messages to all of the girls and women in our lives that "normal" is beautiful.
Meh, she looked fat to me. I guess some people just like chubby chicks. That's fine with me, it just means that someone else can wingman for me while I take a nice healthy girl who's sitting at 115lbs.
Very funny, Daniel! I hope the women you find appealing judge you by those "nice healthy" standards, too.
So Paranormal Activity isnt a true story ? its all made up ? PS she isnt anywhere near fat ! she has a ice body ! DANIEL ur a eff wit !
Thanks for the defense, Melissa, but remember that the rule of this site is that arguments must be made without insulting anyone. Thanks.
