Gabourey Sidibe: Latest Celebrity Target for Weight Loss Products

When an overweight person rises to notoriety, a flood of offers from weight loss companies to help them shed the pounds often follows.

Afterall, celebrities are goldmines for weight loss companies, and what better time to capitalize on the sudden fame of "Precious" star Gabourey Sidibe.

The first (or at least the most publicized) of the circling vultures is acaisupply.com, who claimed in a letter that they were worried about her health, and that she ought to consider weight loss for that reason alone, not her image.

Kevin Smith Kicked Off Flight for Being Too Fat

In 2008, Director Kevin Smith, a.k.a. "Silent Bob," acknowledged his weight had gotten out of control, after he broke a toilet.

"I cannot cognitively reframe it and be like, 'It wasn't me -- it was the toilet.' It was definitely me," he told the Los Angeles Times.

Two years later, Smith's still struggling with his weight ... and with seats. This time it's an airline seat. Southwest Airlines recently kicked Smith off a flight for being a "safety risk."

As for Smith, he isn't taking the insult sitting down.

Should the First Lady Have Talked About Her Kids' Weight?


Tim Sloan

"Short and fat doesn't look good." This what my father used to tell me. As a "husky" kid, those were, uh, comforting words.

Lucky for me, he didn't say that stuff in public, which was good - I guess.

But, the First Lady is getting some heat for mentioning her daughters' little weight problem.

Eat Like The King - Not Really!


1440 Wall Street

"You ain't nothin' but a hound dog" Elvis, was super cool. Big fat, sweaty, jumpsuit wearing, pseudo karate kicking Elvis, is just embarrassing.

However, The King's diet was the biggest travesty of them all. I see this sort of food in my nightmares--bacon, sausage, and mayo, oh my!

It would have been Elvis' 75th birthday on January 8th, so in honor of that, or if you have a death wish, take a gander at these monstrosities. I wouldn't eat them, but they'd make for good stunts on that Jackass show.

John Daly's Weight Loss: Is It a Good Thing?

Normally I don't get too caught up in celebrity weight fluctuations. But, one man who I never thought I'd see under 200 Ibs, is golfer John Daly, who has lost over 100 lbs through lap-band surgery and "allegedly" changing his eating habits.

Let's take a look...

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.
