Queen Latifah, who has admitted to the press in the past that she easily tips the scale at two bills and then some (supposedly very comfortable with her weight), has been announced as the new famous face for the Jenny Craig diet program. The campaign is set to launch in January.
The emphasis on her endorsement of Jenny Craig “will be focused on a healthier lifestyle, not on getting into a specific dress size,” Scott Parker, the company’s vice president of marketing told People Magazine.
Right.
And Kirstie Alley and Valerie Bertinelli managed to make those big Jenny Craig bucks as poster children for OCD: Over-eating Constantly, Duh.
You’ve seen how svelte they’ve turned out.
Still, when you get down to it, who can blame Latifah for wanting to endorse a program that will help her shed all that unhealthy fat? Whether she says so or not, that’s the bottom line. Go to work for Jenny Craig, you are destined to become a slimmer, trimmer “you.” A much healthier “you” in the long run, wearing a smaller dress size.
You know she’s going to be one hot mama once Jenny gets her hands on her!
The father of Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears is reportedly so angry that he’s ready to nail his ex-wife, Lynn, to the wall.
He can’t believe that she sold the story of their 16-year-old daughter’s pregnancy to the press.
According to Us Magazine: “Jamie Lynn and Lynne broke the news to OK! - infamous for multi-million dollar payouts to celebrities - for an unspecified amount. ‘He put his foot down and refused to take any money and ‘profit off of his children,’ the source says. ‘Lynne didn’t care.’ Jamie (the father) is devastated by the news,” says the source. “He’s ‘extremely depressed’ and ‘feels Jamie Lynn ruined her life.’”
Imagine: The father of two well-paid celebrity children who have both become nothing short of freaks where the media is concerned is furious. His ex-wife is cashing a million dollar check, thanks to one of their daughters getting knocked up underage while she’s a TV star.
Gee, do you think he’s realizing that maybe he and Lynn whored out their offspring a little too much and now they’re dealing with the consequences of all that high-powered pimping?
She’s reportedly getting so swollen and fat from pregnancy that she has decided to put her career on hold and is basically going into hiding until she delivers.
Believed to be about five months pregnant now, she’s gained 42 pounds and is retaining a lot of water, according to press reports.
A source says, “She is hibernating. You won’t be seeing much of her in public from now on.”
What a shame that she feels she needs to hang in the shadows during one of life’s most beautiful journeys -her own impending motherhood.
Christina Aguilera, Halle Berry, Nicole Richie - these celebs are all front and center where their pregnancies are concerned.
Apparently, Jenny from the block isn’t down for that kind of attention.
Hopefully her husband, Marc Anthony, is reassuring her that she’s just as beautiful every step of the way as they register their baby shower gift list at Petit Tresor - an exclusive Los Angeles baby boutique.
They’ve also reportedly booked Petit Tresor to design nurseries at their homes in Bel Air, Fisher Island and Oyster Bay.

Meet Joy, Kelly and Sara who have come together to form Three Graces, a stunning new trio that blends their various backgrounds — Opera, Pop and Broadway — to create a new sound that will resonate with all walks of life.
Joy Kabanuck starred in Baz Luhrmann’s Broadway production of La Boheme in the highly coveted role of Mimi to the adoration of fans and critics alike.
Kelly Levesque (pronounced Le-Vek) has shared the stage performing duets with Andrea Bocelli during his last US tour. In addition, she has sung with such artists as Josh Groban, Russell Watson and Vittorio Grigolo.
Sara Gettelfinger earned a BFA from the Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music. She then moved to New York City, where she’s starred on Broadway in several hit musicals including Seussical the Musical, The Boys from Syracuse, NINE and most recently Jolene Oakes in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
Soccer superstar, David Beckham, doesn’t have to worry about rumors circulating that his pics in new ads for Giorgio Armani were digitally enhanced to make him look like he’s packing more than nature intended.
His wife is front and center in the press these days letting us all know that yeah, what you see is what you get in those advertisements.
In her words, “I’m proud I still have a really good sex life with David. He is very much in proportion. He does have a huge one, though. He does. You can see it in the advert. It is all his. It is like a tractor exhaust pipe!”
Okay, but the question is…what made you think, Posh, that we were dying to know?
In case you have not noticed Paul Potts has been promoting his debut album, “One Chance” on the all important talk-show circuit, -including “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” “Nightline,” “The CBS Early Show,” and “The Today Show.”

There’s a big difference between being disgustingly rich and just plain being disgusting.
For instance, there’s Paris Hilton.
People Magazine reports this week that Paris spent $20,000 for clothing and accessories on close to 70 items in about 30 minutes in a Miami Beach boutique earlier this month.
She didn’t even try anything on.
Was she buying maternity clothes to give away to pregnant women living on public assistance? Nope. Warm winter coats, hats and mittens for the homeless? Uh-uh. Underwear and sensible clothes for children living in third world countries? Negative.
Paris was busy buying more stupid stuff for herself. As if she doesn’t have enough of everything at home in her own closet to adorn her spoiled, classless bod with already.
Is there a word to describe such a low-life, do-nothing, completely ignorant and selfish human being with a fat checkbook living on the planet? Sure, there is and you know what that word is.
Unfortunately, Paris hasn’t learned the meaning of that word, yet.
Kevin Federline’s lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan is furious that Britney did not show up for her deposition on Wednesday. He takes issue with Britney being too ill to appear in court, but she was able to party later that evening. Kaplan is petitioning the judge to not allow Britney to increase her visitation rights or request a revision in custody
Why is Britney acting like she cares more about her pet(s) than her own kids?
One day, she’ll run out of twinkies to eat and fried chicken to munch on and she’ll realise how much shes lost *sigh*
Disruptions on the movie set of the romantic comedy “Four Christmases” between co-stars Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn are reported to be getting out of hand.
Reese, the Academy Award-winning/anal-retentive Hollywood princess that she is, can’t seem to handle Vince’s fresh-from-the-club-last-night rough and tumble demeanor when he slogs onto the set in the morning.
She, on the other hand, is camera-ready from the crack of dawn.
Sparks are flying because Reese wants to block every scene and run through their lines. Vince wants to do the scenes impromptu-like and ad-lib his way from start to finish a la “Wedding Crashers” to see where the scene goes.
She’s a one-take perfectionist; he’s an actor who likes to experiment and play around on camera. A source told the New York Daily News, “Sometimes Vince will be standing behind her and he has this look on his face that he just wants to kill her!”
Maybe Reese should try rolling in the gutter with Vince sometime. Who knows, some fiery off-screen action just might make “Four Christmases” a much more enjoyable movie to catch next December.
Tyra insists she doesn’t have an addictive personality.
She’s reportedly said, “I feel like I’ve been very lucky because I’m not really an ‘alcohol girl’ and I’m definitely not a ‘drug girl’.”
She says she orders wine when she’s out for dinner only so that she will look ’sexy’ holding a wine glass, but she really hates the taste. A sip or two is all she’ll take.
Tyra is adamant that because she doesn’t have an addictive personality, she won’t end up in rehab other stars have the misfortune to suffer through.
On the other hand, she just might - for being addicted to her wig.
It’s been reported the 33-year-old chat show host won’t spend the night with men for fear she’ll have to remove her long-haired wig. She doesn’t want any guy to see her without her hair on in the morning.
Imagine, such a confident woman being afraid to put her wig on the nightstand because her ‘roll-me-’over-’til-the-morning’ date-mate might not call her later.
Tyra, stop being so ridiculous. With your great looks and sexy body, none of these guys will even
notice whether you’ve got your hair on or not!
AARPcelebrates its 50th birthday in 2008 - in the company of some of the most influential rock stars and sex symbols of our time.
AARP The Magazine’s January/February issue is all about the big 5-Oh. We believe that 2008 is the year that will forever change the image of 50. The cover girl for the January/February issue of AARP The Magazine is Caroline Kennedy! Can you believe she’s 50?!
Most people 50 and above are happy with the lines they’ve earned and and the lives they’ve led. Fifty can mean starting a brand-new career, having yound children and having the freedom to do whatever the heck you want. The last half century has redefined the age and now 50 is the new 50! In honor of AARP’s 50th Anniversary this year, six celebrities dish to AARP The Magazine about turning the Big 5-Oh.
Ellen DeGeneres (January 26) will be throwing a bash on her popular daytime talk show, Ellen, and including some of her signature original dance moves.
Sharon Stone (March 10) avoids sticking to a regular exercise plan and loves dark chocolate, but stays youthful and full of life by staying active fighting against HIV/AIDS.
Michelle Pfeiffer (April 29) came back from her career hiatus to appear in three films last year. The mother of two teenagers also just quit smoking and started using sunscreen to protect herself.
Prince (June 7) is still a prolific one-man band (high heels and pompadour included) perpetually cranking out CDs. The star also launched a new fragrance recently, 3121.
Madonna (August 16), mother of three young kids, will release a new CD this year and mulling a “Madonna at 50” tour next summer. “Madonna’s 50th Birthday Countdown Clock” can be downloaded from the web and applied to your computer’s desktop.
Viggo Mortensen (October 20) just recently became a movie star with his performances in Lord of the Rings and Eastern Promises. The Danish American is also a poet, photographer, painter and fluent in four languages.

Seed A Dream with Trickle Up and Maggie Gyllenhaal - submitted by Katherine
Maggie Gyllenhaal is the face of a really great campaign I just read
about in Lucky magazine and In Style, who are both featuring the story.
She teamed up with an organization called Trickle Up, an organization that gives
seed grants to people (mostly women) living under $1 a day in the
developing world- Latin America, Africa, and India.
They have this cool campaign going on right now where you donate $100
(which goes to an entrepreneur) and you get a really beautiful
necklace made by TenThousandThings, apparently Maggie chose the
designer and everything.
I just ordered a few for Christmas and I thought that of your website,
that maybe if you got it out there, people would order them for the
holidays. It would help a lot more people in the world than I can alone!
Their website is TrickleUp.org and there is a really beautiful video that
Maggie narrated on youtube
