"The 34-year-old stepped out in LA yesterday in a pair of merciless cut-off denim shorts that showed the supermodel has succumbed to dreaded cellulite and wobbly skin."

"What on earth is wrong with the world? Since when did we think it was sensible to encourage our little girls to regard themselves as sexual objects – desperate to be slim and with faces slathered in make-up?
So I was shocked but, sadly, not surprised to read that a recent survey had found that as many as one third of ten-year-old girls are worried about their body image. By the time they reach the age of 14, that figure rises to almost half." Well, there are probably many parts to this answer – some of them might have some relationship to some of Jonsson's own career activities and the editorial line that is favoured by the paper in which she writes.
