And I hate that concept. The idea that "it's okay as long as [celebrity] does it" means that you believe famous people are inherently better and are inherently role models. It's like they believe that having money and notoriety means you don't make mistakes and there are millions of people who won't change or will blindly follow the blind because the blind did it. At the heart of it, this is the appeal to authority fallacy. Someone richer than you who is fat doesn't mean being fat is good.
