Still A Supermodel

Gemma Ward was once a very successful model with million dollar campaigns for Hermès, Louis Vuitton and Dior under her belt and an impressive American Vogue cover at the age of 16.

But when she began gaining weight following the death of her friend, Heath Ledger in January 2008, she announced that she planned to take a year off to go trekking in Nepal and spend time with friends and family.

An anonymous source offered: "Gemma's torn. In the last few years (her weight gain) was very much her f--k you to the industry. She's rebelling by putting on 30 or 40 pounds, so now going back isn't a straightforward option."

To me, Gemma is hardly close to being fat and she’s certainly still beautiful. All this stuff about her getting fat makes me want to punch someone in the neck.

Makes me think of what casting agent, James Scully, said about young model, Karlie Kloss, at a panel discussion held by the CFDA just before fashion week on February 9, 2010 at Milk Studios: "We all love her today, but when she grows breasts and she turns 18, are we all going to turn on her?"
