Fox NFL and Burger King Make Jessica Simpson Fat Jokes

Jessica Simpson is yet again the butt of fat jokes, this time at the hand of Fox NFL and Burger King. During a recent pre-game show, an animated skit was aired that featured cartoon versions of Dallas Cowboy players and plenty of "boy is Jessica fat" jokes.

"Man, I still can't believe Tony (Romo) dated Jessica Simpson, even after she blew up bigger than Flozell Adams!" says the cartoon-version of running back Marion Barber. While tight end Jason Witten jokes, "Unlike Tony, at least Jessica comes up big when it counts!"

Even head coach Wade Phillips puts his two cents in. "Say Tony, is Jessica around? We could use a defensive tackle!" Har har.

Your Opinion Needed: Too Fat? Too Thin? Too Muscular? (Bro Version)

A while ago I solicited some opinions from the brain trust known as the Diet Blog readership, regarding female celebrities and body types. It was very interesting to hear the variance of opinions.

Once again I am asking for your feedback on the following male celebrities:

Do you find any of these men too fat?
Do you find any of these men too thin?
Too muscular?
Which physique would be considered closest to your ideal (guys?)
Which physique would be considered closest to your ideal (ladies?)

I'm looking for feedback from both men and women on this one.

SNL's Casey Wilson Denies Being Fired Due to Her Weight

imbd.com

For some reason, people are mean to Casey Wilson. As a fan of Saturday Night Live, I could never figure that out. SNL might not have been the best format for her, and she wasn't always given the best roles, but she's one funny lady.

Casey showed grace this week when Lorne Michaels fired her from his show, sparking rumors that she was fired because she'd been asked to lose 30 pounds over the summer and either failed to, or refused.

Chuck Norris on Health Care

Chuck Norris has counted to infinity... twice.
Chuck Norris doesn't worry about changing his clock twice a year for daylight savings time. The sun rises and sets when Chuck tells it to.
Chuck Norris invented water.
Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding.
Chuck Norris can slam a revolving door.
When the boogeyman goes to sleep every night, he checks the closet for Chuck Norris.

Bearing those facts in mind, when Chuck Norris talks health care--you'd better listen up!

Video Interview: Brook Shields

Fitz talks to actress Brooke Shields about diet and exercise.

Fitness
Brooke suggests moderation in all things: "You don't have to be crazy and you don't have to be like an athlete... to be more fit". She goes onto talk about how going to extremes, setting unrealistic goals proved to be counterproductive. "Find something you enjoy and stick with it."

Diet
Again attempts at extremes (going non-fat or cutting out lots of foods) backfired - resulting in weight gain. Brooke talks about finding a balance, maintaining smaller portions, giving into cravings, and an awareness of when eating is for emotional reasons.

Many thanks to Fitz Koehler of SportsHealthExercise.com for creating this, and to Brooke Shields and Latisse for agreeing to this and letting us embed it here.

Movie Review: Bigger, Stronger, Faster

I know, I know, the movie has been out for a year now, but Food Inc. strangely haven't opened here yet, and I'm in the mood for a movie review!

I'll never forget being an anxious 12 year old watching the '88 Olympics - the marquee event - the 100 meter dash. I cheered loudly as Ben Johnson blazed to a new world record. I also remember the shear disappointment of what ensued.

Fashion Writer: Malnourished Women Are Out...

Is there a change in the air? From UK's The Times:

Malnourished women aren't interesting any more. They're depressing. And the six-pack, once evidence of having luxurious amounts of time and money to devote to self-sculpture, now looks like a feeble attempt at control in an uncertain world. Even worse, it implies a desperately high level of self-involvement. Fat people, meanwhile, look better every day. Why? Because they look carefree. So heave a sigh of relief and let your gut out.
