MORE ON 'BEAUTIFUL': After our piece on Christina last night, we came across a website which tried to argue that 'Beautiful's video was on a par with TLC's Unpretty. Nu-uh. Unpretty features women without any need to diet or undergo surgery deciding they're actually fine as they are, thanks. Beautiful features a woman - who, we know from the casting call, is anorexic - being told to ignore other people's opinions. Anyone whose spent any time with a person with anorexia will know one of the hardest challenges is getting them to realise that they're dangerously, life-threateningly thin. The actress in the video may be thin for whatever reason; in the story of the video, she's in need of help. No wonder Christina is the pin-up girl of the ana sites.
