Stretch Marks

Reader Comments

• 16. Oh no... not stretch marks... how NORMAL. TMZ everyone has them, stop making us feel bad! Does anyone on the TMZ crew have perfect skin? I've never met ANYONE who doesn't have them. I'm skinny, have had no babies, and guess what? I have them too.

• 17. I used to have pretty bad stretch marks and red scars around my belly region ever since I gave birth to my three kids.I had tried Vitamin E oil and cocoa butter which a number of people had recommended but unfortunately it didn't seem to work too well. My Doctor had even suggested that I go for a Tummy Tuck. I then recently read an article about a lady who supposedly got rid of her stretch marks using a particular cream. I tried it and it worked really well. It took a number of weeks but my stretch marks soon faded away. You can read the lady's article at the link below. http://www.stretchmarkszapped.com

• 18. Its pictures and the comments made by TMZ like this that I am even more ashamed to be even on this website. I hope NO woman is ever ashamed by stretchmarks caused by the beauty of a new life. I also think that if your going to put up pics of stretch marks how about some men, its not only women that get them.

• 20. First of all, Nia Long does not have stretch marks. Im not surprised by the reactions to these photos. Stretch marks are normal, and they happen to everyone blah blah, but surely not celebs? celebs are perfect right?? i guess some people can take some comfort and sleep a little better 2nite knowing that the ppl they admire are mere mortals like the rest of us.

• 21. I had my first baby 9 wks ago and i gained almost 55 lbs during my whole pregnancy. Seeing pictures of Cindy crawfords belly makes me feel much better.Its nice knowing that even supermodels have body flaws.

• 22. God, this country is going straight to hell...women are NOT perfect (and neither are men, you self-centered chauvanist b$stards!) It's because of sites like this, and air-brushed magazines making women out to be objects, that women starve themselves to death to try and measure up to this fairy-land "ideal"! Screw that! I've had stretch marks on my breasts since I was 12 or 13 (they grew seemingly overnight from flat to a D cup). And you know what?? I've never heard one guy complain! They still look good (and real...unlike the stupid whores who have fake ones!) Real women are beautiful...beauty marks, freckles, and yes, even a few stretch marks...that's what makes us real! if you want a Barbie-doll, go to the damn toy store!

• 23. Maybe if enough people see that even celebrities look like the rest of us before the air brushing and all that's done in photo shoots we women won't beat ourselves up after we gain/lose weight or have a baby and don't loose all the weight in 5 days and have our bodies look like we just posed in Playboy.

• 25. When you chosse to bare up yourself to the public what do you expect? Most women particularly chosse baring themselves and "some" to the extent of indicent exposure as their best means of being liberated and free. What is not for the public has become the order of the day for whatever reasons they best know. Wish them the best Prince

• 26. I have to agree w/ everyone that thinks this is ridiculous. Beside the fact that you can barely see anything on a few of the pictures, most of the women you make all the extremely and rude comments about have had children. Stretch marks are normal, and yet you guys make them out as something to be ashamed about. As a young woman, I am disgusted that women my age and much older have every body part picked apart, ridiculed, and criticized in the media, especially when nowhere near the same treatment is given to men. You are sending out an awful message.

• 27. You know im really surprised and impressed that people seem to have the same view as me.Im really disgusted at you guys at TMZ for poking fun at such a natural thing as stretch marks.Me being a mom stretch marks, were inevitable.It's refreshing to know that celebrities are just like us humble people and dont mind to show off their "imperfect" stomach. It's magazine's like yours with your that warp these young girls mind into thinking imperfection is unworthy.I say hurray to stretch marks and those who show them.

• 28. TMZ... seriously the s**t you pump into peoples brains is the reason that this country is the most hated. Stretch marks are nothing to be ashamed of... What you people write about them is. I am seriously offended by your "perfect body" propaganda. Three cheers for stretch marks! May TMZ crash and burn

• 29. I agree, the only thing "disgusting" about these pictures is the vile captions that accompany them, there is nothing wrong with the bodies of any of these women in the pictures, infact they are all beautiful and natural. It is grossly unfair that women with stretch marks are made to feel inferior, the reality is that everyone gets stretch marks whether they are fat or thin or whatever age they are. Those pictures are a breath of fresh air they show that celebrities aren't really extra terrestrial beings but are actually normal, and I don't think it is fair that they should be criticised for being so. I say good on them for having the guts to go against the conventional view on beauty and showing us what beauty really is. Beauty is not something as fickle as the appearance of skin, but it is having the confidence to do what you want regardless of the colour or texture of your skin. I think trashy websites and magazines like this should be banned!!!

• 30. Ok can I just say its absolutely DISCGUSTING that TMZ posts these beautiful pictures in such negative ways? I mean HELLO celebs are human, and the human skin sometimes leaves marks when it stretches or shrinks... I went my entire pregnancy with only stretch marks on my boobs, but 5 days post pardum, there were 3 shrink marks on my stomach. IT HAPPENS PEOPLE! UGH! TMX you should be really ashamed!
