Kirstie Alley: Weight Loss Reality Show

by Betsy on Celebs

kirstie-alley-weight-loss-reality-show Yet another weight related reality show will enter TV land. (Sigh)  With shows like Biggest Loser, Dance Your Ass Off and The Price of Beauty, it’s no surprise that former Jenny Craig spokesperson Kirsty Alley will get her own show. The 59-year-old yo-yo dieter has signed on with A&E for a yet to be titled show of 10 half-hour episodes. You may recall in 2005 her short-lived Showtime series Fat Actress, but that was a scripted show. This new reality show will be a first for Alley. Robert Sharenow, the senior VP for nonfiction/alternative programming said,

“Her personal life has been playing out in the media for years, but this will be the first time she’ll be opening up her home to reveal her real life for the cameras.”

Over the past summer Kirsty did confess that she gained 83 pounds but she was ready to get back on track. Latest tabloid photos of her show no change in her size but maybe the show will motivate her.

Tony Award winner Marissa Jaret Winokur spent the summer trying to lose weight before the Dance Your Ass Off reunion.  However, the 36-year-old didn’t quite meet her goal.  After a summer of ups and downs she has lost 15 pounds instead of the original 25 pounds that she had set as a goal.  She told E!,

“I didn’t lose as much as I wanted to by the time of the Dance Your Ass Off reunion, but I was like, ‘Maybe I can take off an extra five pounds just by straightening my hair…’ I ended up losing 15. I have 10 more to go. Sometimes I feel like, ‘Wow, I should make a TV series out of this. This is real.’”

by Betsy on Celebs

ricky-gervais-is-looking-trim
The British actor and comedian Ricky Gervais was traditionally the chubby guy in all of his roles. But these days as his fame is growing in Hollywood it appears he is catching on to the show biz lifestyle and learning to drop the pounds. This week while at the Toronto International Film Festival you can see in the above photo at the right that he has slimmed down considerably since April (the photo on the left). The 48-year-old was in Toronto to promote his current movie The Invention of Lying, which he co-wrote, directed and starred in. Last year he was quoted saying,

“I don’t think there’s enough stigma. I laugh about being fat but I should be ashamed.”

by Betsy on Celebs

Tony award winner Marissa Jaret Winokur is on a mission to lose 25 pounds.  Over the summer we saw how she experienced the typical highs and lows when it comes to trying to lose weight, and even though she still hasn’t reached her goal, she’s trying her best.  This week at Ok Magazine they caught up with the star and asked how she’s coming along on the weight loss journey.  Marissa explained,

“I want to snack all the time. I like snacking. I like yummy food, and my husband eats whatever he wants, and he’s skinny, tall and handsome. He can eat whatever he wants. It’s hard because he’ll eat cookies, and I’m like [sarcastic] ‘great, let me enjoy this yummy salad.’ It’s no fun. It’s totally no fun.”

Marissa Jaret Winokur’s Stalled Diet

by Betsy on Celebs

The weight loss journey that Marissa Jaret Winokur embarked upon at the beginning of the summer appears to be at a halt.  She did kindly admit in this week’s diet blog entry for People Magazine that she decided to “call in fat” (Similar to calling in sick.) for the week but it seems that most of her blogs discuss her diet failures over the past couple of months instead of her triumphs.
This week she said she took time off of the diet wagon to spend time with her son and her husband who has been off work for a few weeks.  She wrote,
“It was a lot of fun family time this past two weeks, but not good me time. I love my boys and am not complaining. I am just saying I had no time to exercise and I didn’t count a single calorie.”
Winokur also explained that she didn’t necessarily overeat but that wasn’t consciously thinking about her diet plan over the past week.  She ended by writing that she’s not throwing in the towel but she’ll soon be back at work after ‘calling in fat’ for a week.

Kelly Osbourne: Dancing with the Stars Workout

by Betsy on Celebs

Celebrities such as Marie Osmond and Marissa Jaret Winokur have said that being a contestant on Dancing with the Stars has helped them lose weight.  There’s now a dancing celebrity, Kelly Osbourne, who has decided to be on the show for the upcoming season and she too plans on getting in shape.  She told Ryan Seacrest this week during his radio show that she’s actually terrified to be on the program but she’s ready for the challenge.  She explained,
“I’m not very graceful, so it’s just something that absolutely terrifies me, and it’s the main reason that I kind of wanted to do it. I wanted to do something different. I wanted to do something that scared me, and I don’t think anything could scare me more.”
Kelly went on to explain that she’s not too concerned about winning but that she wants to do something that she’s scared to do and that she is excited about losing weight.  She said,
“My body is going to get sick and be toned.”
Other celebrities for season 9 of the show include Kathy Ireland, Donny Osmond, Melissa Joan Hart and Aaron Carter.

Marissa Jaret Winokur Gets Weight Loss Inspiration

by Betsy on Celebs

The Dance Your Ass Off host Marissa Jaret Winokur is still on the road to healthy weight loss and fitness.  It’s been a rocky road but she’s taking a healthy approach and keeping herself focused on the prize.  In her People magazine diet blog this week she wrote that it was a great week for her even though she was tempted when she hosted a BBQ at her house.  She was even sure to have healthy food available and light beer for her guests.
She went on to mention that another time during the week she was on her stair machine at home flipping through People Magazine when she came across Sherri Shepherd’s weight loss story.  She was immediately inspired because Sherri is not a size 0 but instead a healthy and shapely woman who has won the weight loss challenge.  She wrote in her blog,
She was wearing a bathing suit and – get this – SHE WAS NOT A SIZE 0, she didn’t lose 60 lbs. and she didn’t look airbrushed! She looked beautiful!!! She was radiant and inspirational!
Winokur explained that Sherri’s photo shoot is proof that you don’t have to weigh 120 pounds in order to wear a bathing suit.  And she also referred to  Sherri as a role model and someone who is inspirational.
“She’s a wonderful role model! P.S. Her legs are to die for and I hope to look as good as she does when I do my photo shoot – in 2012!”

Marissa Jaret Winokur: ‘Tweet Before I Eat’

by Megan

marissa-jaret-winokur

In Marissa Jaret Winokur’s quest to lose weight before her People magazine photo shoot, the Dance Your Ass Off host has turned to Twitter for help.

Over the weekend the 36-year-old host found that her followers on Twitter offered her more support than her own family. Learning to tweet before she eats helped her choose a healthier option at Starbucks, while afterwards her “tweeters” congratulated and praised her for the choice.

“I guess strangers are like, ‘Come on, we can do this’, while my family is more like, ‘Oh, Marissa is on a diet again’,” Winokur blogged on People.

Marissa Jaret Winokur Does Boot Camp Workout

by Betsy on Celebs

Marisa Jaret Winokur is still on a mission to lose weight.  The host of Dance Your Ass Off has been working hard this summer to get into bikini body form.  But after more failures than triumphs she has decided to do it Boot Camp style; an intense workout that gets the heart rate going and calories melting off at the sound of the sergeant’s whistle.  She wrote in her diet blog with People Magazine,
“Boot camp seems to be good for me. It really had a good combination of weight training and cardio (jumping jacks and jump rope). Actually, the act of exercising at 6 a.m. really helped me. It made me not dread the workout part of my day all day long. Also, when I went to have a tiny cheat, I would really think back to how hard I worked and thought, ‘It is not worth going to boot camp an extra week over one peanut butter cup’”.
Always looking on the bright side, Marisa did joke a bit about all of the ‘crazy people’ who attend the 6am Boot Camp class.  She wrote,
“I found a cheap boot camp that was free for the first class. It was packed: I can’t believe how many people will wake up at 6 a.m. – crazy people, I tell you, lots of crazy people. It shocked me how much time was spent on our abs and arms and also how loud the music was. No teacher yelled at me but there was a crazy man that if we were told to “do 20″ he would scream “25!” and everyone cheered. I hated this man and prayed he would not be back the next day. He was.”
Marisa did continue on to write that she liked having her workouts done by 7am each day, but she’s hoping to find a yoga class at the crack of dawn instead of Boot Camp.

Marisa Jaret Winokur Falls Off The Diet Wagon

by Betsy on Celebs

As we all know, when we’re on a diet we have good days and bad days, hills, valleys and even those times when it feels like your on the downhill course to utter failure.  Celebrities also have these issues and host of Dance Your Ass Off, Marisa Jaret Winokur, is no exception.  As she tries to battle the bulge she had one horrible week because of birthday planning and family guests who love to eat out.  She wrote in her diet blog,
“This week was spent planning for Zev’s [her son] first birthday – it started off bad and then it turned into a disaster! Every day I literally said, “Okay, tomorrow I will get back on track.” But tomorrow never came!”
One big mistake she did was leave out the candy for the party in her house for a whole week.  As she was planning she would nibble on the tasty chocolates and other treats.  In addition, because of having family in town she was wining and dining the whole time and didn’t find time to exercise.  She wrote,
“Because I had both my husband’s family and my family in town, there never was time to work out. NEVER. And we would eat out almost every meal! As the week progressed, it just got worse and worse till I finally just said, ‘Forget it – this week is a bust!’”
Now that the party is over, Marisa is having a hard time getting motivated to jump back on the diet horse, but hopefully she’ll be inspired soon enough.
“To be totally honest, all I want to do is sleep – I actually don’t WANT to work out. I feel horrible and scared to step on the scale. Life totally took over and if it weren’t for this blog, I would be wearing my PJs and staying in bed. BUT I am so thankful I have you guys to push me out of the OMG-I-messed-up-big-time funk and I promise myself and you to fix it this week. I still don’t want to work out but I will make myself. The sickest part is the leftover candy is still in my living room!!! OMG, I NEED AN INTERVENTION, FAST … or just a big garbage bag ;) ”
