teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

In fairness, looking at other photos of her from this year, she doesn't look much better. At this point, she looks like she's just skin, bones, and a circulatory system.

The only exceptions I can find are from the new Wicked movie, and I can only assume it's due to the wonders of makeup and CGI that she looks so presentable.
I’m frequently puzzled as to why people are so concerned with celebrities’ looks.

Maybe because celebs want us to be obsessed with how they look.
