Being Called Fat Led To Drug Problem For Kelly Osbourne

According to the Sydney Morning Herald: Kelly Osbourne, a one-time champion for curves, is also proud of her recent weight-loss of seven kilograms. This was achieved by a revolutionary diet where Osbourne swapped her usual fare of chips and soft drink […]

Lying About Gastric Bypass: Star Jones Edition

April 3rd, 2009

Hooray, Star Jones news! It’s been almost a year since we even mentioned her. But Star was on Oprah on Wednesday, facing the music about her gastric bypass and the fact that she hid it from the general public–whether on purpose or just by omission. In the clip I saw on Jezebel, Star apologizes to […]

WLS & Divorce

April 30th, 2008

The Star Jones divorce news reminded me that the divorce rate is supposedly much higher for weight-loss surgery patients. I was idly pondering this and ran across this post at A Smaller Target, where Espy says the divorce rate is 60-80% and speculates on some of the reasons for this. Part of the reason is […]

The Goldilocks Paradox

April 15th, 2008

There’s a conversation going on in the comments about whether some people look better when they’re heavier. The discussion started with Rhonwyn’s comment right here: [w]hile I’m on the subject of Queen Latifah and losing weight: do any of you think some people just look better when they’re heavier? I hardly recognized Star Jones after […]

Not So Full Or Fabulous

November 5th, 2007

Hooray, Star Jones news! I always miss writing about her when nothing is happening. But there’s a new controversy between Star Jones and a group called Full & Fabulous. Here’s the first part of the story: Full & Fabulous, a non-profit organization that helps plus-size women and girls cope with peer pressures, is upset at […]

The Zone Diet

August 6th, 2007

Melinda, who just had weight-loss surgery, identifies what she calls the blue zone and the red zone of the weight-loss surgery world. On the one side are the people who truly believe with every bit of their being that WLS is bad and evil and unnecessary…They will call WLS mutilation and amputation and deformation, because […]

I Hope You're Sitting Down

July 31st, 2007

Star Jones admits she had gastric bypass surgery and was “intentionally evasive” when questions were asked. “[T]he complete truth is, I was scared of what people might think of me,” she continues. “I was afraid to be vulnerable, and ashamed at not being able to get myself under control without this procedure.” “I used to […]

Star Jones: "I'm Going To Tell You Something Sometime"

July 16th, 2007

I feel all nostalgic now; there’s news about Star Jones! Well, sort of. On a press tour for her new show, she evaded questions about her weight loss, then promised to explain all: “I know that people are curious,” Jones admitted. “I’ve changed completely from the way I looked when I first started in television […]

I Trust Star Magazine Way More

April 19th, 2007

Well this is very handy: a compliation of all the diet stories in this week’s National Enquirer. I’d heard some of these tidbits before (for instance, that Star Jones needs a body lift to remove extra skin, which is totally normal if you’ve had weight-loss surgery). And yet here they are, all in one place. […]
