Big Fat Celebrity Gossip: Links

October 19th, 2010

1. Kirstie Alley’s new “weight loss program” is probably based on lies, according to the ever-reliable National Enquirer. (Hey, they were right about John Edwards.) (Note: the article uses slightly fat-phobic language.) [Alley] recently bragged on her Twitter site that she’s lost 50 pounds with exercise and her Organic Liaison weight-loss program. But those close […]

Drop Dead Diva, Fat-Positive Television, And Ricky Gervais (Again)

June 11th, 2010

If you’ve been reading for a while, you know of my conflicted feelings about Ricky Gervais. But, the problem is, he keeps hating on fat people and making it more and more difficult for me to love him. (I have the same issue with Joel McHale on The Soup.

Seth Rogan Admits He "Sold Out" By Losing Weight

Ricky Gervais Continues To Break My Heart

January 6th, 2009

Ricky Gervais—creator of my favorite television show of all time and another show that makes me enjoy, of all people, Chris Martin from Coldplay—must you keep making me sad? I feel like we’ve talked about this before—his description of himself as a “fatty,” his standup routine where he mocks Dawn French’s weight, his self-loathing, and […]

Fat, Fame, And Ricky Gervais

June 2nd, 2008

As you probably know, if you know anything about me, my favorite show is The Office, and you know I’ll take any excuse to mention it in this blog.
