I can always count on Amanda Seyfried for some good coat pr0n. Amanda’s been pretty low key lately. She’s been filming Ted 2 with Mark Wahlberg and hasn’t promoted anything else lately. Is she still dating Justin Long? Who knows.
Amanda took to Twitter to talk about her career and the pressure for Hollywood actresses to be stick thin. She previously said she’d never lose weight for a role because she’s “too health-conscious.” That makes sense. I worry about actors like Christian Bale and how losing an extreme amount of weight for roles will affect their future health. Amanda goes a step further and says she “almost lost” roles because she was considered too fat. She didn’t really lose the roles though?
Fun fact: I almost lost out on several roles in my career because I was overweight. Wrong, America.

I don’t doubt that Amanda dealt with some casting agents who suggested she drop a few pounds. She clearly never needed to lose weight, but Hollywood’s mirror is pretty warped when it comes to weight obsession. The weird thing is that Amanda didn’t lose those roles, or so she says. There’s more to this story, and 140 Twitter characters doesn’t cover it.
We hardly ever cover Amanda, so I had to include some new photos of my boyfriend, Finn the dog. Don’t mind the kissing Wahlberg in this photo.
