A Heavy Survey: Which Celebrity Kate Looks Best?

The United States is obsessed with who weighs what. Is the problem one of body or mind? Glamour magazine’s February issue poses “The Great Kate Weight Debate,” questioning celebrities and real people about three different widths of women: model Kate Moss (5 feet, 7 inches, about 115 pounds), actress Kate Winslet (5-foot-8, about 130 pounds) and model Kate Dillon (5 feet, 11 inches, 175 pounds).

The following are quotes from Glamour about which of the three Kates has the best body:

* “Kate Moss is too skinny. She also looks like she’s 11. It’s practically illegal to look at her picture. God bless Kate Dillon, but size 14 is just a little too big. Look at me talking, I just lost 28 pounds, so I should have more sympathy, but I don’t.”

--Gary Dell-Abate, “The Howard Stern Show” producer

* “Kate Winslet is a beautiful woman. If she put on another 10 pounds, I’d still outweigh her by 50. People just want to make fun of her weight because she got to make out with Leonardo DiCaprio.”

--Gabrielle Reece, pro beach volleyball player and ex-model

“I think Kate Winslet is perfect, and I’d love to go out with her.”

--Clifford, New York City cab driver.

Dillon is quoted in the article as saying: “I weigh myself every week to make sure I’m not losing any weight. I love my body.”
