Better Played, Cate Blanchett

We still question the wisdom of an already incredibly slim woman losing more weight just for a role, which is evidently what Cate Blanchett’s game has been. But we’re pretty sure she’s going to do it no matter what we say, on account of the fact that we don’t know her, have never talked to her, and suspect she hasn’t had time to play around on the Internet since back when it was called the “information superhighway” and we were all making hilarious acceleration, speeding, and traffic puns.

Ergo, I’m at least pleased to see Cate finding some work-arounds that downplay the fact that her collarbone is about a day away from breaking skin.

With her shoulders covered, she looks distinctly less like a starving alien who’s come to Earth to feast upon our amusingly primitive blood. It’s much more relaxing.
