Sophia Loren Likes to Eat.

Sophia Loren just may be Hollywood's last member of the Clean Plate Club.

According to this morning's Daily Mail, she says:

"Young actresses today don't eat enough. I meet them for lunch, we sit down at the table, they look around and they say, 'Oh, but everything is so good, everything looks wonderful.'

And then they eat just a bite of this and a bite of that. They never finish their food, never. I am the only one eating at the table! I get very upset by this."

I had to laugh at this, as Sophia's criticism reminds me a bit of my favorite Real Housewife of New York, the ultra-slim Bethenny Frankel.

As a chef, she's always surrounded by her carb-y Bethenny Bakes vegan pastries. On the show, she's constantly drinking and eating in really yummy restaurants. In Bethenny's blog, she gushes over Levain Bakery's softball-sized, raw-batter cookies and Rosa Mexicano's "fattening frozen pomegranate margaritas."

If you're wondering how skinny minnie Bethenny is able to enjoy all of these decadent delights and still look the way she does (i.e. incredible), she adheres to this philosophy, "Taste everything, eat nothing," which is clearly the credo for Sophia Loren's dining companions.

Maybe they all read Bethenny's book, "Naturally Thin." Or maybe Sophia was just like them in her day, and it's just that she's now too much of a legend to care.
