Oooooh MEOW!

It sounds like one former Pussycat is still a little raw over the band's 2010 breakup!

Carmit Bachar, the sexy redheaded member of The Pussycat Dolls, recently revealed how she thinks it was Nicole Scherzinger's SECRET battle with bulimia AND her solo career ambitions that were the main reasons behind the pop group's split.

Nicole mentioned her struggles with bulimia and her body image for the FIRST TIME during a 2012 interview, so unless they were super aware, none of the Pussycats would have known about it before then.

The flamehaired puss shared:

If these were meant to get our attention, they worked!

There’s been an ongoing battle with body image in the fashion industry since, basically forever, but people are taking strides to end it.

Star Models is one of the top agencies in Brazil and with the help of the ad masters at Revolution Brasil, they came up with a powerful anti-anorexia campaign.

The images show a fashion sketch with an emaciated (and hopefully Photoshopped) model next to it wearing the same thing, with the words "You are not a sketch. Say no to anorexia" scribbled on it.

They specifically often try and emulate the bodies of stick thin models like

One of the best things about Demi Lovato, other than how kind and caring she is, is that she is ALWAYS open and honest about her struggles with eating disorders. She is never silent about how hard it is to control her own thoughts on her body image.

The world and young women are better because of this!

Here's what she said:

It wasn't too long ago that Katie Couric decided it was time to share her struggle with bulimia in an effort to help others.

The reveal shocked so many because it came out of nowhere!

She really first opened up about her problem when Demi Lovato was talking about her own battle with eating disorders as a guest on Katie's show last year.

Katie said:

Brandi Glanville seems to have stopped her very public war against her ex-husband Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes, but that DOESN'T mean that his new wife is done defending herself to the press!

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star caused quite the uproar when she revealed that Rimes pops laxatives constantly due to a "serious eating disorder," and one of her kids even got ILL after confusing one of her pills for a piece of candy and eating it!

But after a few days of back-and-forth spars and leaked e-mails, the reality television fixture said enough is enough, and clammed up!

LeAnn, however, didn't

Keira Knightley went topless on the cover of Allure magazine.

It really showed off her consistently great figure!

When an actress is always really really skinny, the media cries "anorexia!"

But some people are just naturally incredibly skinny and lead an active lifestyle. Keira even sued a British tabloid for labeling her anorexic. She won!

In Allure, she talked about the claims of her "anorexia," saying:
