Carnie Wilson, singer from Wilson Philips and host of The Newlywed Game has her own reality show coming out in January on GSN, Carnie Wilson: Unstapled. Wilson is no stranger to the scrutiny of the tabloids. She’s been a yo-yo dieter since the 80s and she has revealed all to the media on numerous occasions. Back in 1999 she even showed her gastric-bypass surgery online; thus the title of her new show. She said,

You may remember that Carnie, with the help of gastric bypass surgery, shed 150 lbs from her 300 lb high. However she regained weight with her pregnancy… and no doubt a diet full of processed foods.
