Eating-disorder experts criticized Kate Moss, 35, after she cited as her motto a phrase used on Web sites that encourage girls to avoid eating. On fashion Web site WWD, the supermodel said one of her mottos was “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.”
Mary George, of eating-disorder charity Beat, called Moss’ words “very unfortunate. Comments like this make it even more difficult” for people struggling with an eating disorder, she said.
Moss’s modeling agency, Storm, said, “This was part of a longer answer Kate gave during a wider-ranging interview, which has unfortunately been taken out of context and completely misrepresented. For the record, Kate does not support this as a lifestyle choice.”
Chaz Bono, 40, says beginning the sex-change process from a woman to a man is “the best decision I’ve ever made.” The writer-activist-reality-TV star, born a girl to Sonny Bono and Cher, says he’s eight months into the yearslong transformation and says he feels great.
Formerly called Chastity, he told ABC’s “Good Morning America”: “Life is short and life is precious. This is who I am. I need to finally be who I am.”
Bono says he came out as a lesbian 11 years ago. Now he’s had gender-reassignment surgery and hormone therapy. He tells ABC: “To me, gender is between your ears, not between your legs. I’ve felt male as far back as I can remember.”

The woman who bore twin girls for Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick said Thursday that she was living in a West Virginia motel when a police chief was accused of breaking into her Ohio home.
Michelle Ross, 26, testified that ultrasound photos, surrogacy files and tax information were gone when she returned, that someone had riffled through photos, and that a plaster cast of her abdomen from her pregnancy with her son was misplaced.
Her testimony came in the trial of suspended Police Chief Barry Carpenter, 32, of Martins Ferry, where Ross lived. He is accused of breaking into her home and then trying to sell items related to the pregnancy to paparazzi.
Ross said the surrogacy agency moved her to the motel in May, when she was eight to nine months’ pregnant and uncomfortable.
Parker and Broderick are raising the twins, Tabitha and Marion, and are not expected to testify.
