Beth Ditto, supersize lead singer of the indie band The Gossip, has recently bared all for the cover of NME, a music magazine. As almost everything with Ditto, this was done to make a "statement":

The lead singer of 'The Gossip' used the opportunity to blame gay fashionistas, Paris Hilton and the Beckhams for the size zero weight crisis.

Telling NME magazine, she said: 'If there's anyone to blame for size zero, it's not women.'

'Blame gay men who work in the fashion industry who want these women as dolls.' (Source)

I don't mean to be snarky - perhaps it is PMS. But every time I hear about this woman it is because of some "statement" she is making, rather than about her band's music (which, in all fairness, is pretty good). I dunno - just seems like, as a musician, she would want to be known for the music she creates with her mouth rather than the noise?
