  But in spite of her disease, Martell went on to compete in the Miss Delaware pageant four times before taking the title home in 2010. While she has previously competed both with a wig and without, this year she decided to wear a blond wig.

  “The support system that I needed was not necessarily in place,” Hill told NPR. “The machine can overlook the need to take care of the people who produce the sounds.”

  Rumors swirled that Hill, now 35, had a nervous breakdown after her 1998 album success when she all but disappeared from public life. She has performed but rarely in the past 11 years and seldom grants interviews with the press.

  FOX 411 | Editor

  

  2007: A model wears a piece from Australian designer 'FashionAssassin.' The fashion industry will now ban the use of dangerously thin models on the runway.

  Australia’s Youth Minister Kate Ellis said magazines, agencies and fashion labels that met a number of criteria would be awarded a new body-image tick of approval. The campaign is part of a massive overhaul to tackle body image issues among Aussies.

  FOX 411 | Editor

  

  In yet another case of aggressive photo retouching, Nordstrom has drastically nipped the waist of Ralph Lauren model Tao Okamoto.

  The Japanese model’s obviously thinned waist is featured on the site in a Lauren design, just months after the fashion house came under fire for digitally altering the body of size-4 model Filippa Hamilton. The photo was first reported on by gossip site Jezebel.com.

  Okamoto’s waist size is listed as 23.5, and her clothing size is a 4. And yet, it appears that wasn’t small enough for Nordstrom.
