MODELS IN FRANCE NOW NEED A DOCTOR'S NOTE TO WORK

Models in France will need a clean bill of health in order to work—literally. TheGuardian reports that Lawmakers passed a bill on Thursday that will force models to present a certificate from a doctor that vouches for their overall health and wellness.

Parliamentarians retreated from an earlier version of the bill that would have established a minimum body mass index (BMI) for all models, opting to let doctors themselves decide what "healthy" means for every individual. Still, the onus is not only on them. Lawmakers voted to include a section that mandates that magazines denote photoshopped images. Any altered photos must now be labelled, telling readers they've been "touched up."
