At nearly 70, it’s hardly a surprise but the sprightly little megastar, Al Pacino, is finally filling out.
He’s been pictured looking pretty rotund and his archetypal black outfit was failing miserably to ’slim’ his figure.
Sat on your fat bottom, tracksuit straining around your thick middle, scoffing a bun? Yep, you probably live in one of these sexy sounding ‘obesity hotspots’.
Here’s the top ten in all their glory.
Wha!?! Yes, more from Mrs Cole, but we’ve seen the visitor stats and we know you eat her up, so here’s some more:
Despite her skinny little frame attracting criticism and snarky blog posts (soz), the new X Factor judge has been telling anyone who’ll listen that she has her fat and spotty days.
We don’t mind bitching about pampered, preening A-listers caught with hairy toes or a big, lumpy backside, but when it’s someone we like, we feel bad.
So we’re going to try not to use mean words to describe Lucy “Dawn from The Office” Davis, who has gained weight, like, quite a lot, due to (according to the NotW), marriage problems.
Seriously? 33 stone. In 15 years. That’s over two stone a year on average, and for a few of those years she was a baby and toddler.
We’re all for understanding, but this is pretty inexplicable. And yes, there are reasons why some people put more weight on than others, there is such a thing as puppy fat and there have always been podgy kids. But 33 stone?
Imagine always being hungry and never feeling full. Well, scientists say that’s how a gene linked to obesity causes people to put on weight.
Previous research had long established a link between people who carry the gene known as FTO and obesity.
Having fat friends could be making you fat.
Or at least that’s according to a recent UK study, which states humans are subconsciously influenced by the weight of those around them.
Researchers at the University of Warwick into European lifestyles say people tend to gauge how fat they are by comparing themselves to their peers.
Meat-fans’ favourite diet, Atkins, may be just as effective and safe as a low-fat diet, despite all the other surveys and the founder dying a bloated man.
This latest research comes from a study of 322 overweight volunteers, carried out by boffins from Israel, America and Germany.
The volunteers lost weight on all diets tried, including Atkins (low-carbohydrate), low-fat and Mediterranean diet.
The low-carb diet was the most effective.
From HECKLERSPRAY - You know what the problem is with Megan Fox? You can’t hear her thighs scraping together when she walks anywhere.
This is because Megan Fox clearly isn’t fat enough. Boys only like girls if they’ve got wads of back fat you could lose your fist in and a chin that’s barely visible under the rolls of sweaty neck-lard. There’s nothing more arousing than a girl having a chronic wheezing fit because she’s had to run 10 metres for a bus, right boys?
Matt Damon looking like a bloated, 1970s, German sex pest is the talk of tinseltown, but it’s obviously just for a role. It’s always just for a role: except in the case of Kirstie Alley when it was more to do with a bacon roll. And a doughnut. And a steak. And! you get the idea.
Short of playing a war veteran, piling on the pounds and uglying up is the fast route to Oscar success.
Less than two years since Brazilian model, Ana Carolina Reston, died from her eating disorder and everybody wrung their hands about how terrible the whole modelling industry’s pressure is! the Brazilian media have piled into gorgeous Karolina Kurkova for being fat.
Wish I was ‘fat’ in that case.
Breaking news: Amy Winehouse is not, at the time of going to press, on the brink of death. As recently as yesterday, she was frolicking on a beach in the sun like an actual human.
The troubled singer-songwriter (where “troubled” is an euphemism for ‘we expect her to be found dead in a ditch any second’) spent Sunday on a beach in St. Lucia. We thought she was in rehab in London, but OK.
So far, her latest stint in treatment doesn’t seem to have done Wino any harm; splashing around in a pair of bikini bottoms, she’s distinctly less skeletal and has clearly undergone the process that the Daily Mail refers to as “packing on the pounds” and we at DietPixie call “starting to consume something other than crack”.
Amy has also reportedly started working out for two hours a day - and it seems ‘working out’ is not just code for ‘rolling around on the floor, clawing at the walls and screaming for drugs/booze/Blake’. She has apparently hired a personal trainer and “bounds in to work out on the bikes, weights and Power Plate”.
On the one hand, I’m pleased to see Amy looking a bit more human and actually smiling for a change. On the other hand, things have got pretty bad if Amy freaking Winehouse spends more time in the gym than I do. Who am I supposed to use now as my ‘it could be worse’ person? “It could be worse, you could be Amy Winehouse.” It’s not going to work if she’s running around on Caribbean beaches, now is it?
Still, there’s always Britney.
