Celebrities pledge to shape up in 2007
Nicole Richie
New Year's resolution: Put on weight
The Simple Life star and Hollywood 'It' girl has been the subject of relentless scrutiny over her dwindling physique.
In May, she finally admitted she was too thin, saying, 'I wouldn't want any young girl looking at me and saying, "That's what I want to look like."'
'I do recognise that I have a problem, and I want to be responsible and fix it,' added Nicole, 25, who has sought help from a doctor and a nutritionist.
'I have always been thin and what weight I lost was over a couple of years. It wasn't some crisis for me like it's reported. I'm fit and healthy. I eat properly and I exercise regularly. But, yes, I am thin.
'I like being flat because I can get away with not having to wear a bra but I have really tiny, small ankles which I don't really like.'
'She has also been fighting rumours she had surgery to remove a gastric band she had installed.
'I've said I am in the process of putting on weight and that should be enough,' she argues. 'It is a serious, life-changing procedure and not a rumour to throw around.'
Evangeline Lilly
New Year's resolution: Fight the pressure to be thin
When she first found fame in television drama series Lost, Evangeline admitted she found herself on the verge of a nervous breakdown because of the intense attention surrounding her amazing body.
'I called my parents and said, 'I don't know what's wrong, I don't know if I can keep going in this industry,"' recalls the 27-year-old Canadian.
'I just wanted to get away from it all. I never wanted to be a big film star. I just wanted the comfort of having a job I love.
'The pressure to stay thin is enough to make you go insane. I was overworked and undernourished.'
To help her believe in herself, Evangeline developed a routine of chanting 'I am what I am' 20 times a day.
'I know it's cheesy, but it reminds me that if people don't like who I am, that's okay,' she explains. 'It's a very scary place to be when people have seen you on TV in your bra and underwear!'
