Lady Gaga has recently caused a lot of drama with this tweet she posted on April 10. She hashtagged that pop stars don't eat, bringing to light that she diets and exercises to maintain her small frame. Critics are upset because she preaches that people should be happy with how they are, yet she contradicts this by changing her body to conform to the entertainment industry's standard of how she should look. I think what a lot people forget is that celebrities are just normal people and face the same pressures to look a certain way. And if it was any other celebrity, I don't believe that this would be that big of an issue, but because it's Lady Gaga, it makes her look like a hypocrite.
By tweeting this information, this also brings to light that celebrities go to extreme measure to look a certain way. When some female entertainers are interviewed about what they do to look a certain way, many avoid the question by saying they don't diet or they really enjoy working out. However, in actuality, celebrities are constantly dieting and work extremely hard to look thin. I think if the public know how difficult it is for them to maintain a diet or to wake up at 4 am to work out, I think people would not compare themselves so harshly to the famous.
