When Ali Larter told Allure she once had to have her thighs duct-taped [1] before a photo shoot to thin them out, my reaction was a sympathetic cringe. She acknowledges that it's all part of the job saying, “What I do for a living puts me in the spotlight. They pay me for it.”

Every job has its benefits and unfortunate downsides, but famous careers seem to run on both extremes. Me? I couldn't handle the scrupulous criticism. How about you?
