R&B and soul singer, Jill Scott has certainly experienced the ups and downs in her weight the past year. In addition to winning 2 Grammy’s, she’s got her big Hollywood break by getting a role in the move “Why did I get married?” which began filming in February. She had just lost 28 lbs by biking prior to signing up for the movie, but in preparation for her upcoming role she was told to gain 30 lbs…. and also “wear a fat suit.”

So Jill fattened up on chocolate, cheesesteaks and milk shakes to go from size 12 jeans to size 18. She is losing the weight by walking 90 minutes and eating salads and seafood. Jill has since lost about 10 lbs and her goal is a size 14.

After a year of reviewing celebs and their diets, I felt it was high time to give my take on the best and the worst in celebrity diets for 2007. This year’s crop of celebrity diets proves the adage “you are what you eat.” Diets full of fruits and veggies have helped trim down Hollywood’s biggest “losers.” This “best” list of celebs also shows that you don’t have to knock yourself out at the gym to get fabulous. This year it’s all about healthy lifestyle activities with Ricki Lake, Andrea Baptiste and Lenny Clarke getting active by walking, hiking and biking.

Brittany Spears, Beyonce and Ashanti top the worst list by resorting to quick fix weight loss schemes. Diet pills and fasting “detox” diets only give dieters false hope, resulting in rebounding weight and yo-yo dieting. Under the body-conscious spotlight of the media, this list proves that eating well and creating a healthy lifestyle are the best revenge. [Read more →]

Kirstie Alley reportedly slimmed down to 145 lbs on Jenny Craig and flaunted her bikini bod on the Oprah show.

Author of the Ultimate Weight Loss Solution and self described weight loss expert, Phil McGraw is reported to be 250 pounds and 6 foot 4 inches which officially puts him in the obese category. The National Enquirer dishes out some tough love for the “say it like it is” psychologist and self-improvement guru.

“TV Shrink Dr Phil wags his finger and scolds the overweight guests on his talk show. But these days, he might want to start listening to his own advice. The 57- year old Oprah protege preaches that extra flab is a choice. If you’re fat, he says, you have no one to blame but yourself. Now, say insiders, it’s time for the Hollywood doc to get real himself.”

Britney Spears’ weight is making news again in the latest issue of Star Magazine. Having lost custody of her kids, Britney’s life is spinning out of control along with her weight. Her diet consists of “potato chips, sodas, cheeseburgers and candy.” Oh and btw, she hates veggies and fruits.  Instead she loads up on “junk — lots of greasy dishes and creamy sweets.” Her diet efforts are no less suspect and consist of amphetamines, diuretics and laxatives. The article speculates that her 5 foot 4 inch frame is now carrying about 160 lbs which I believe is about right judging from her latest pics. [Read more →]

Ashanti denies allegations by the New York Post that she refused to have her picture taken at the Ivy Hotel in San Diego because of her recent weight gain. When asked about whether she gained weight, Ashanti told People that,

“I’m human. If I’m not working, I’ll eat barbecued chicken, and if I want Baskin-Robbins I get it. I’m going to enjoy life. Will I be in the gym every day if I know I’m not going to be on TV. No! But when it’s time to get it poppin’ again, I’m focused. I jump in the gym for a month and I’m solid. I’m ready to shoot the video.”
