The Skinny Men Craze

Russell BrandWe're so used to talking about skinny women - we often forget about the skinny men.

And lately, there've been rather a lot of them.

Apparently the new craze among the male of the species is to emulate the slight male celebs such as Russell Brand and Pete Doherty.

But, just as men say they prefer curvy gals to stick-thin ones, the ladies are in revolt, insisting they find bigger men much sexier.

Donna Armstrong, editor of More! magazine, said: "We've been deluged by emails from readers who fear men are pushing it too far.

"Girls prefer lads with meat on them, the way men prefer curvier women."

Pete DohertyEat up and bulk up boys, that's what we say.
