Competitive Skeletons Love the Attention
Which two female entertainers are actually competing to see who can weigh the least? They are both looking scary skinny, but lie about the reasons why. They say that they never diet, or that they are into fitness, or that they are naturally thin, or that they find it difficult to keep weight on because they are working so hard. Not true. Food is never near their mouths unless someone films them. They are both publicity hounds, and absolutely love all the attention a shrinking body brings, including magazine covers. The girls compare weight on a daily basis. They are actually competing to see who can weigh the least. As long as their weight keeps them in the news, expect the madness to continue. bg

Television Star Gets a Pink Slip
EW – If a certain television star is reading this, they should squint extra hard to read between the lines. How come? They’ve been canned – they just don’t know it yet! Yep, it seems an original cast member of a hit series that’s popular has been pink-slipped from their job without the benefit of being given a pink slip. A combo platter of budget cuts and creative redirection is being blamed for the firing, but it also bears mentioning that said performer was never going to win any popularity contests with their co-stars. As for why the MVP still hasn’t been told that the unemployment line is reserving a spot for them, well, that’s where things get really interesting. There’s still a snowball’s chance in Hollywood that the producers might have a change of heart. If, or when, the axe does fall, the regular’s on-screen alter ego isn’t likely to be killed off. Although death has cast a shadow over many a plot, this personality’s demise would probably be deemed too morbid, even for this show.
Singer’s Weight Halts Concert Tour
This former A list R&B female singer was a really big thing back in the day. Well after she stopped performing so much she gained weight. Well, more than a few pounds actually. So, when she finally came back and did a new CD, she was a little concerned about the photo on the cover of it. The record label offered to airbrush the photo and make her look as skinny as she wanted to be. Well, she said no, and that she would just go ahead and get some photos taken on her own. A few weeks later the label got some photos of her in the mail. They were great photos. The problem was they had all been taken fifteen years and fifty pounds earlier. She insisted that the photos were taken all in the past week or so and those were the ones she wanted on the cover of the CD. With no choice in the matter, the label did as she said. Then she also decided that she couldn’t do any concerts because if she did, people would see she looked nothing like the cover photo, so she did no promotion for the CD at all.
Beauty is Now Just a Hot Mess
She’s gone from sweet as pie to a hot mess! This former American beauty gets “so drunk and out of control it’s disgusting,” a security guard says. “Two years ago, I got a limo from a friend’s company to take her to an event, and she threw up all over the car.

Scar Truth versus Scar Lie
So the truth about Tina Fey’s scar is that a stranger slashed her face while she was in her front yard when she was just five years old. No wonder she doesn’t like to talk about how it happened. This other celeb, on the other hand, loves to talk about how he got his scar. His story has changed a couple of times, but it’s usually about him being macho. Too bad he’s not telling the truth. The truth, according to a close relative, is that he tripped and fell when he was drunk one night. Not exactly macho. bg
