Christopher Vourlias Receiving a lifetime achievement award this week at the Sarajevo Film Festival, Scottish director Lynne Ramsay teased a slew of projects currently in the pipeline, heralding her much-anticipated return to the director’s chair since wowing Cannes in 2017 with the Joaquin Phoenix-starring thriller “You Were Never Really Here.” Among them are a second collaboration with Phoenix, who earned best actor honors on the Croisette for that performance, as well as “Stone Mattress,” a revenge thriller set aboard a luxury Arctic cruise that stars Julianne Moore and Sandra Oh. There’s also “Die, My Love,” starring Jennifer Lawrence, which is based on the novel by Argentinian writer Ariana Harwicz about a woman living in isolation in rural France who loses her mind amid marriage and motherhood.
Whitney Port Doubles Down on Her Decision to Never Eat Pasta — And It Has Nothing to Do With Calories
01.08.2023 - 18:19 / usmagazine.com
Whitney Port has seen the commentary about her picky eating, and she has a message for those questioning her decisions.
“Yes, I’ve never tried pasta before but it has nothing to do with nutrition and that it can be a cause of weight gain. It’s a pure texture thing,” Port, 38, explained during the Tuesday, August 1, episode of her “With Whit” podcast.
The former reality star recalled how her time on The Hills influenced her complicated relationship with food.
“In terms of the only previously eating 1000 calories a day, I definitely remember when I was on The Hills and I saw myself for the first time on TV, I was a little bit shocked and was like, ‘I feel a little pudgy and I would like to lose some weight’ and I think that was a self-reflection that normally people don’t normally have and [being on TV] forced me to have it,” Port, who appeared on the hit MTV series from 2006 to 2008, detailed. “I think then that started maybe a slippery slope of some control issues, just control over what I look like — which I think is something that I should think about more. Because when I say that, it doesn’t necessarily correlate to my weight.”
Port continued: “When I think about my weight, I think about just being attractive. And I think that I need to define what attractive means to me, and then if those things are actually healthy. So the moral of the story is there is a lot of self-reflection going on and I think that’s the first step.”
During the episode, Port noted that she has been making progress when it comes to her diet.
“I’ve been eating like s—t [while on vacation], just trying to get in calories, like pizza, ice cream, french fries, whatever it is. But when I get home, I don’t want to do it in that way. I want to eat
