Patricia Arquette Stunned By Weight Loss Request.... Patricia Arquette was outraged when she was asked to lose her baby weight for her role as psychic detective Allison DuBois in TV series Medium - because the character is a mother of three.

The True Romance star, sister of David and Rosanna Arquette, refused to slim for the motherly role, insisting the request simply didn't make sense.

She says, "When I started Medium I'd gained a stone and a half from having my daughter Harlow.

"The producer said, 'Honey, you've got to lose some weight.' I felt like saying, 'I don't want to do this job then,' because, to be honest with you, I'm trying to make little changes in the world.

"If it made any sense for this part - if this part was a supermodel or anorexic - then okay. But DuBois is a mother of three in a long-term marriage. It doesn't make sense".

i think she looks great the way she is and should stick to her guns on this one.

I am offended she was asked to lose weight. Medium is one of my favorite shows and to me she looks OK especially portraying mother of three...

She looks fine. Do you want her too look like Nichole Riche? I don't think so. So let her be a real- life -like mother- figure of three, babies.

I watched the episode dated 1-14-08 tonight and noticed her weight. As a mother of three myself, I thought it nothing... but was concerned. This is why I have sought out this site tonight... As long as it is only baby-weight - it's no big deal... I work out three times a week and am still trying to lose that baby weight and my youngest is 15 months!!! Leave her alone! She's beautiful and an amazing actress and should be allowed to be REAL!!!!! NO plastic sx, no crazy diets, just a REAL woman!!! I love, love, LOVE Medium!!! Don't -- PLEASE Don't -- ask her to be anything but herself!!!! I have loved Every movie she's been in and appreciated the reality (no weight reference!!!!) that is Patricia Arquette!!! Don't change a thing unless it makes YOU happy, girl!! We love you!

thanks for being you and an amazing actor!!
Kiera Wells, Virginia!
