I’ve known plenty of women who have lost weight post-breakup. It’s happened to me, but I inevitably gained it back again since I’m a stress eater. I kind of envy those women who can’t eat when they’re stressed, because it takes true trauma to get me to live in any state that resembles “hungry.”
All of this is intro for this story in Life & Style about how Sandra Bullock is so thin now because she’s pining for Ryan Reynolds, who is rumored to have left her to bone a bunch of random starlets like Olivia Wilde. I think Life & Style just noticed that Sandra was thin and that she no longer seems to be with Ryan and put two and two together. They could be right, though, as there’s nothing that will help you shed pounds like a breakup. Jezebel has a quick rundown of the story:
Apparently Sandra Bullock is “stressed-out” and “can’t stop losing weight.” She has suffered a “radical transformation” and is “scary thin.” Her “chest bones are showing,” and her “face is gaunt” and her arms are “veiny and too muscular.” A nutritional therapist who does not treat her says she has “almost no fat on her body.” Just in case you haven’t gotten the point, there’s text on a picture of Sandy which reads, “a newly bony body.” This is not only because she went through an icky divorce, but because Ryan Reynolds has “moved on” and Sandra “has no outlet for the loneliness she’s feeling.”

Bullock must have gotten wind of this story, because last night she was photographed out at paparazzi and celebrity hotspot Mr. Chow. Those are the photos where she’s in a car. She’s also shown outside the gym last week, and she looks really fit and healthy to me. I’m judging from her arms, not her clavicle area though. Maybe that part of her chest just looks sunken, because she doesn’t look scary skinny or anything, just thin. I love Sandra though and I refuse to believe that she’s suffering if things didn’t work out with Ryan. Maybe she’s just using the extra time to work on her fitness.

Oh come on, she does not look that thin and Ryan Reynolds please…Reaching ehh.
She looks OK to me.
Or maybe she is slimming down for a movie role.
She looks FINE! I love the glasses on her…throwback to Love Potion #9 days…haha
She looks just fine. Not too thin.
Demi Moore on the other hand…
Yeah I don’t believe it, I still think they are more friends than anything and after douche Jesse, she seems a lot stronger.
Oh pleeeease……
She looks great in these photos!
She could have had a bad flu or something and couldn’t keep food down for a bit for all we know.
I really don’t think her and Ryan were a couple though. I think they’re really good friends, and he enjoys spending time with her adorable son, but I think that’s about it. But who knows, I guess.
I don’t think she’d give that power to a man again. I think she is just beautiful and I wish I looked like her.
She looks fantastic. She’s not losing weight over being heartbroken, but simply chasing after her 1 year old.
I’ve been dying to see a Sandra/Ryan story here after seeing a Star magazine cover implying they got married. It’s been days and…crickets. So, I gather they didn’t get married. Sad, because I like them as a couple.
On another note, Ryan Reynold is filming a movie in my neighborhood and I got to see him (and Kevin Bacon) close up and personal. He is fiiiine looking but very skinny. We’re talking manorexic!
Love some Ryan and Sandra dish.
I’m with you CB. Sandra looks great. She looks thin, not skinny and really toned. I call BS on the pining for Ryan too. As much as I’d like to see them as a couple, they’ve been friends for years, and Ryan wouldn’t bone and chuck her – not his style.
She’s always been thin. I have never looked and her and thought, “Agghh what the hell has she done to herself?”. She’s fine. I’m pretty sure if she didn’t waste away to nothing after the public humilation that was her break up with Jesse James, she’s not going to waste away for Ryan Reynolds. Sheesh!
She looks fantastic…looks like she maybe lost like 5 lbs. When i lose that little, my chest bones pop out too, and i’m certainly not underweight! Just her bone structure is my guess, like some people have very bony collarbones
Turtle Dove, you are right on it!
IMO, they both are aware that the age difference matters.
I think she is too smart to make the mistake that Demi made. Better a friend forever than a husband who will eventually cheat.
She looks fine. On another note, has anyone ever seen a picture of little Louis smiling? He always seems so serious.
L&S is been trying for a while to make Sandra the new Aniston. Lonely,cant keep a man etc.
She looks fine to me.
I agree with Mari, if there has been slimming down it is because of taking care of her son!
I don’t think she looks scary at all.
Non-story, L&S. Not-thin. I really don’t appreciate it when stories like these are perpetuated in magazines – which will sell like CRAZY and they know it – when in fact someone looks terrific and totally IN shape. (She just has a face like Jennifer Garner that looks thin even when they have meat on their bones.) I will admit that while she looks physically good… she doesn’t look HAPPY though. I hope she’s ok.. LOVE HER.
Looks fine…
I think she looks good. And I don’t think the age difference between her and Ryan matters, unless he want biological children and not all men do.
That said, I don’t necessarily think that they’re romantically involved. Which is too bad, because they seem like they would make a nice couple.
She looks fine to me. I like Ryan, but I seriously doubt she would stress over him. If she took on life after her husband’s cheating scandals I doubt it she’ll let anyone else bring her down.
she’s a bit thin to me, but then i think women should be a little soft looking. it’s the style now to be skinny.
She looks VERY thin. Her chest bones are protruding-yuck!. Regardless of the reason, stress, doing it on purpose to be thin- she DOES NOT look healthy.
The protruding chest is not normal and does not look good or healthy or fine on anyone. Im shocked how many readers think its normal!
WTF is wrong with these magazines?? Are they trying to hack away at women’s body issues and make it seems that MEN are always the reason behind every woman who is sad, skinny or what!!?? I’m actually outraged. Where are the strong, independent female role models on the magazines for our daughters (& sons) to see???
She doesn’t look heartbroken or emaciated to me. Leave her alone.
She needs to get back to work. Just start doing films and take her little baby with her and stop projecting her fears and insecurities to him, as one can see in photos taken of them together. Her body language is extremely tense and stress. She should well know that being famous it goes with the territory.. Just take in stride and relax and your son will relax and just ignore them ,..wave them off.
she looks fine. a teensy bit thinner than usual, but maybe she’s really busy or is getting over the flu or something.
I do not think she cares who Ryan is hooking up with at all. She is fit and living her life and if she didn’t fall apart after Jesse she will not do it for douchlord Ryan Reynolds.
Come on tabloids! Jesse was the love of her life. Sandra has learned and is a stronger woman now …. She will not let any man bring her down after all she went through. If anything I hope it’s not Jesse messing with her again.
Oh look, she has big bulging veins on her arms. She must be doing drugs. Yeah, that must be why she is looking thinner too.
🙄
She looks fit to me. No LeAnn Rhimes here.
She looks great, not thin at all! I’d love to see little Louie smile for once, he sure is a serious baby.
#26 “your”? Mama: I agree completely. Must all media make out that women absolutely have to have a man to be happy? It is so-ooooo frustrating.
#17 I agree with you too. The media seem to think that the public wants an “underdog”, read lonely, woman to read about. I don’t think it has been true of Aniston for years and I would be surprised if it were ever true for Sandra. Plus, who wants that to be true for anyone?
she looks awesome!
Sandra must hate all these tabloids making up stories about her. I just want her to be happy, with a man or without a man, whatever she wants.
I can’t wait to see who she starts dating. Hopefully, he will be worthy of her, although it will be hard living up to being Sandra Bullock’s man.
@ #34 Kara Ann – thank you. This is why I don’t buy those tabloids anymore. I prefer this site. It just seems that this is all these rags do anymore. It’s simply pathetic.
She looks great!
My friend has worked with sandra many times over the years and not only is she one of the nicest and most humble actresses in Hollywood, but she is an exercise maniac. That’s why she’s so thin and muscular. I don’t think she gives a shit about Ryan Reynolds. She’s a busy mom and an a list actress. I can’t picture her in bed all day crying over some douche bag. I call bull shit on this story!
Why can’t the tabs ever try to state the obvious? Maybe she lost weight because taking care of a toddler will do that to you! I mean I lost weight doing it. Unfortunately it was a wash since I had all the pregnancy weight to get rid of anyway!
I think Sandra could care less about Ryan and his love life. Maybe she’s exercising a bit more because she’s got a new man.
Also, TMZ has a video of Sandra inside Mr. Chow and she looks happy and having fun. Good for her.
Demi Moore is the one who looks emaciated. I’m guessing stress?
Sandra looks fine, I’ve never seen her skinny.
I don’t think the two were ever dating since I doubt they’d jeopardize a 10+ year friendship if they didn’t feel that it was meant to be something more. I also don’t think Ryan is a ‘douchebag’ considering that he’s been friends with Sandra for years (even friendly with his ex-Scarlett); he was obviously there for Sandra in her time of need with the whole Jesse James debacle so I am sure she would be a little peeved at someone calling her good friend an ugly name like that.
