Courtesy of TheSkinnyWebsite.com, you can see the spread and read about Angelina Jolie’s shocking weight loss, as well.

Although Nicole, Angelina, and other celebs like Lindsay Lohan and Mary-Kate Olsen have become the poster children for skinny celebrities, there are dozens of others whose too-slim stature raises eyebrows.

Celebrities-Suck.com has a “skin and bone” parade of skinny stars including Teri Hatcher, Brittany Murphy, and Mischa Barton, among others.

The LA Times has a slideshow of Hollywood’s Slimmest Stars that features Nicole, Ashlee Simpson, Keira Knightley, Lindsay, Kate Bosworth, Mary-Kate, and Calista Flockhart.

So what’s going on? On the one hand, we have perfectly healthy people like Jordin Sparks being called obese and get-real crusaders like Joy Nash ranting about discrimation against “fat” people (self-inflicted and otherwise), and then we have celebrities who are literally wasting away before our very eyes.

Have we become a nation of physical extremes? How does this affect your own body image?
