Has there been more uproar lately about celebrities gaining and losing weight, or have I just noticed it more? Three posts I ran across today in quick succession:
1. “Carnie Wilson’s War” (with video from the Tyra Banks show, of course) is Carnie’s battle with her weight after her highly publicized weight loss surgery.
2. Britney Spears [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: “Celebrity Fatwatch: Eyeroll Edition”, url: “http://www.bfdblog.com/2008/06/10/celebrity-fatwatch-eyeroll-edition/” });

it’s like magic Originally uploaded by mo pie

Britney’s antics are legendary and now we hear her continuing weight struggles have taken a drastic turn as the pop star is planning on getting liposuction.

Reader Jessica wanted to make sure we were all aware of this post from Manolo for the Big Girl. (Since I’ve been off getting married and stuff, and I just got home, it’s good to get caught up on what I missed.) So the deal is, Glamour magazine featured a cover with America [...]
