Celebrity Weight Loss

Star’s cover story this week is all about Angelina Jolie and how she’s down to an emaciated 99 pounds due to shooting up heroin like a fiend apparently.

Three separate reasons this is ridiculous:

1. The magazine proclaimed Brad Pitt got Angelina Jolie pregnant not even a month ago. Guess that didn't pan out, given the image below?
2. The cover photo of the star is hilariously Photoshopped to the point where her head and body don't even look proportional any longer.
3. She looked slender, but healthy THIS WEEKEND.

While the 36-year-old actress is clearly thin, she's not anorexic. Her upper arms have some flesh on them, her cheeks look full enough, and so on.

Star's claim that the 5'7" actress weight has plummeted to 99 pounds seems full-on absurd, but that's their claim, citing the good ol' anonymous source:

“Angie has gotten so skinny and frail, Brad thinks she needs professional help,” the source said, adding that Brad staged an “intervention,” to get her help.

“Her face looks sunken. On the red carpet, her arms look like twigs.”

Uh huh. “Brad is really concerned with her eating habits,” the source adds. “She’s existing on cereal bars and smoothies and slipped to just 99 pounds."

"She is so thin yet will still go on a carrot-juice fast for days. Brad leaves food out all over the place hoping she’ll snack.” LOL. Sorry, we can't take anymore.

Just for fun, check out Star's cover from almost exactly a year ago after the jump. Must be something about Angelina Jolie this time of year ...

We knew Jack Donaghy looked sharper in a suit this season on 30 Rock.

Backstage at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday, Alec Baldwin told Access Hollywood he was diagnosed with diabetes in May 2011 and proceeded to lose about 30 pounds in four months. His trick?

"I gave up sugar," the actor said, adding that "I do Pilates and spin... When we're shooting and I can't work out, I just have to eat less. So I'm very conscious of that."

Baldwin - who took home the trophy for Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series at the event  - is actually dating a yoga instructor named Hilaria Thomas, but says the two of them rarely practice her trade together often.

The best news, of course? Baldwin's slimmer figure has not resulted in any less hilarious 30 Rocks quotes this year.

Also, he should probably live longer as a result of the diet.

Just months after giving birth to baby daughter Harper Seven, Victoria Beckham is once again ready for her close-up. In lingerie. Anybody out there complaining?

Don't. The 37-year-old erstwhile Spice Girl showed off her extremely slender body in a belted white Rochas corset piece in Numéro Tokyo's March issue.

Check out the Victoria Beckham photos below:

Despite her successful marriage (she and David Beckham now have four young kids together), she says he's never been to one of her many fashion shows.

"David has never been to any of my shows as I'm incredibly nervous and I need to focus and concentrate," the Victoria Beckham Collection CEO confessed.

As for her rapid weight loss?

"Oh, listen, I worked at it," she told Elle. "I was breast-feeding, so I ate super healthy, and I worked out seven days a week. I wanted to burn all my leggings."

"I was adamant that by the time I went to Fashion Week [seven weeks after giving birth] I would be able to wear regular clothes again."

Looks like she succeeded ... to our benefit.

We can respect Kevin Federline for working out so hard to lose weight that he passes out, but he may want to scale back, having been hospitalized twice now.

The ex-Mr. Britney Spears was rushed to the hospital a SECOND TIME since filming Excess Baggage, an amusingly-named Australian Celebrity Fit Club spinoff.

Apparently he was in the midst of an AFL training session with the Greater Western Sydney Giants on Monday afternoon when he complained of chest pains.

A spokesperson for the network airing the show said:

"Kevin was at Doonside with the [Giants], completing an AFL-related challenge. He did his challenge, which was running and catching the ball, then while his [in-series weight-loss partner] was taking the same challenge, he reported chest pains and a racing heart."

"We have a lot of paramedics on standby and they treated him for the first signs of a minor cardiac arrest, called an ambulance and had him taken to hospital."

Fortunately, tests revealed he did not have a heart attack.

Still, don't fight the good fight too hard, Kev.

Jennifer Hudson doesn't merely cover the latest issue of Good Housekeeping - the Oscar winner looks darn good while doing so!

The former American Idol finalist has incredibly lost 80 pounds, and she says her son doesn't even recognize his own mother when looking at photos or clips of her former self.

“What’s funny is that he’s never known me overweight," Hudson tells the magazine. "If he sees a clip of the old Jennifer from Dreamgirls, he doesn’t know who it is.”

Hudson says she doesn't torture herself to remain skinny, though. One has to cheat to maintain sanity.

“I’ll find a calm, peaceful moment, and I’ll sit back and eat my chocolate, which I make sure is really good quality, too," she says, adding this piece of advice: "Quality over quantity!”

The women of The Bachelorette? Not unattractive.

With a new season of The Bachelor underway, it's only fitting, sort of, that three well-known cast members who went on to dole out the roses themselves cover In Touch Weekly, baring their bikini bodies and sharing their weight loss plans and tips.

Okay, it makes no sense. But who's complaining?

Ashley Hebert, who dispatched current Bachelor Ben Flajnik last summer, is prepping for her wedding to JP Rosenbaum with a low-carb diet. Sounds amazing.

Ali Fedotowsky, now single and ready to mingle after calling off her engagement to Roberto Martinez, is targeting thigh and butt jiggle. It looks well targeted.

Trista Sutter, the standard bearer for successful relationships spawned by a nonsensical reality show, still looks amazing - yet is contemplating a boob job.

Not that she needs it and not that you can believe anything you read in In Touch, but that's all we've got for now. Just sit back and enjoy the bikini photos.

Kirstie Alley has lost 100 pounds since her peak weight. That's amazing.

But how does the Dancing With the Stars finalist plan on keeping it off?

On New Year’s Day, Alley launched 100 Days of Dance, a program in which she encourages people to dance for 100 consecutive days in order to lose weight or stay fit.

"I want everyone to experience some version of Dancing with the Stars," says Alley, 60. "People don't have to do monotonous, zombie workouts that are boring."

"Dancing is free and you can do it anywhere and any time."

The actress, now a size 6 and 130 lbs., says she backs up her big talk, staying fit by dancing 1-2 hours a day and following the diet plan Organic Liason.

She'll post videos of herself dancing on the site for 100 days starting on Sunday and she hopes to spotlight exotic locales with special guests along the way.

Miss South Carolina Bree Boyce may be a beauty queen, but for most of her life, she says she was "miserable in my own skin" as a heavyset kid in Florence, S.C.

"I used to make fun of my weight with others to fit in and be the funny, overweight girl," Boyce tells People Magazine for its annual Half Their Size cover story.

"I'd go home and cry, not because of what others said about me, but what I had said about myself," she adds. How times have changed for the 22-year-old:

By 17, she had reached her heaviest weight: 234 lbs.! Aching knees and difficulty breathing drove her to meet with a doctor, who told her she needed to lose weight.

"It was embarrassing because a 17-year-old shouldn't be in a doctor's office having this conversation," recalls Boyce. "I knew there were so many things I wanted to do in life - I wanted to be on Broadway, go to school, get married, have a family."

Another key motivator: "I wanted to be Miss America one day."

You gotta hand it to Snooki.

Since she first burst on the scene and out of her pants in late 2009, the girl has gotten progressively thinner, an impressive feat considering she's a full-blown drunk.

Fortunately, inhaiing Deena's face means fairly low caloric intake. That's gotta count for something. And working out helps too of course. She does her GTL.

Take a look at Snooki pictures from last month, late 2010 and early 2010:

Finally, to truly illustrate how far she's come, take a look back to 2009, before she was famous, during the filming of Season One of Jersey Shore. Words fail us:

Snooki: Would you smush it?

The pregnant Jessica Simpson has just signed a deal worth $3 million to be a spokeswoman for Weight Watchers, according to a report from the New York Post.

Her weight has been scrutinized in recent years (see fat Jessica Simpson pictures), but now that she's eating for two, she's turning a negative into a positive.

She reportedly fielded several offers from a number of celebrities weight loss companies before settling with the Double-Dubs for a staggering sum of money.

A source told the Post, confirming earlier reports, "The deal is in place, and after having her baby, she'll start with Weight Watchers to lose her baby weight."

Rumors about the contract began last month, with reports saying that the company wanted to help her get back to her famous Dukes of Hazzard physique.

The brand wants her to use their famous points system to emulate another celebrity spokeswoman, Jennifer Hudson, to "lose a significant amount of weight."

Simpson plans to wed her fiance Eric Johnson after having the baby, which could be another motivation for the former singer and actress to drop weight.

She is expecting a boy or a girl BTW. Crazy.
