Do celebrities diet/lose weight for attention?

How far would you go for attention? That is, if attention is what you crave. Certain reality stars, looking to extend their fifteen minutes, will do just about anything to get a little more time in the limelight.

Let's take a look at the ridiculous past stunts these quasi celebs have pulled to garner themselves a picture in the tabloids.

Paris Hilton: Has reportedly gained weight and lost weight just to give the tabloids something to gossip about. The intentional weight gain was also rumored to stir up pregnancy rumors. Also, hangs out with celebrities on their way down the path of destruction (Lindsey and Britney, a hem, a hem). Way to go Paris!

Nicole Richie: Parties like a rock star, dates within the small hollywood circle of young alchoholics, also uses her weight to get attention from the media. Is she or isn't she pregnant? Is she putting on weight? Goes to restaurants where paparazzi anticipate her presence so that she is photographed eating actual food. Have fun in jail Nicole...

Heidi Montag (The Hills): Got a nose job and breast implants. Dated a total loser, and got engaged to the most miserable person on reality television for media attention. The funny thing about this one is that the tabloids know this, and say it, but report it anyway. If you're going to act like you don't care... then don't publish it.


There is currently a poll going on at UsMagazine.com voting for team Heidi or Lauren. Guess what the current results with over ten thousand votes? 93% voted team Lauren. Also on Us's website, there is a video of Heidi working out. The Hills star showed Us Weekly how she achieved her sexy body at an Us Weekly photo shoot.

Reportedly, Montag felt that walking and occasional boxing weren't giving her the "dancer's body" she desired, she called up an L.A. trainer. Three months and six weekly hour-plus gym dates per week later, Montag says in the new issue of Us Weekly, “I’m more lean and my muscles are defined!”

Ahhhh, duh! Is she joking? Thank you Heidi Montag for letting me know that walking and occasional boxing isn't going to give me a dancer's body. If this reality tv dumb blonde was serious about getting a dancer's body, she would've known that Pilates and Yoga are the best classes to take. In what magazine has it EVER EVER EVER said, boxing and walking were even enough to really tone you? "Like OMG? I can''t believe I'm more lean and have more definition! Who knew lifting weight could provide results? Hee Hee."

To watch the video click here. Ugh vomit, I just realized it's called Heidi and Spencer's Workout Video. Don't click it if you hate them as much as I do.

As it turns out, you not only have to be incredibly shallow to get your name in a tabloid, but also extremely dumb. What will Heidi do next to get her name in a tabloid? Any other body alterations she just may start looking pretty.

Can you guess which celeb loves Taco Bell?

Which slim celebrity told photographers she "loves Taco Bell" while having her picture snapped as she chowwed down on tacos and cinnamon twists?










Well I can first off tell you it was not rumored to be pregnant and I wont believe it till I see it Nicole Richie. But it was none other than Paris Hilton of course. The newly freed jailbird was caughting pigging out at Taco Bell in Burbank, CA. Apparently on June 25th while still behind bars, Hilton's parents told TMZ.com that their daughter was craving the "south of the border" restaurant chain. See the pic here.

Paris was also spotted on Tuesday in a hideous leopard bathing suit with CInderella (her new dog) and a pink surfboard. The pictures are not the most flattering or maybe Ms. Hilton should lay off the fast food.


Now for my comments...
It's good to see a celebrity actually eating the food they say they want. Bravo Paris. So often I read how celebs say they love cookies and brownies yet it looks like they haven't had a gram of sugar in over a decade.
I also enjoy Taco Bell, but can't remember the last time I ate it, so maybe I'm a little jealous of P.
It's good to see that she is exercising. Cameron Diaz is an avid surfer and looks great. Paris is thin, but she has no muscle definition. Could this be a new Paris, oh wait I already forgot she was eating Taco Bell in the morning. Anyway, here are some of her beach pics, what do you think?

Nicole Richie's Bad Joke Email Stirs Weight Rumors

This past weekend kicked off the beginning of summer for many in America. The new season of “The Simple Life” also began. I told you all awhile back that Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton would be taking on the roles of camp councilors at a weight loss or fitness camp. Rumors proved to be true Sunday night.

I’m not going to recap the episode but here are the main points I find interesting. When the campers arrive, the girls must search their bags and take any junk food. I think this might have been staged because Nicole ends up pulling out a huge tub of mayonnaise and other boxes of cookies, etc. If you are going to a weight loss camp, why would you waste so much packing space with a tub of mayo when you know they will most likely take it from you? Didn’t these people watch Fat Camp on MTV?

The girls end up tasting some of the contraband food to the dismay of the campers. The girls continue to wreck havoc on the camp. The camp nurse even leaves the camp due to personality conflicts with the two socialites. I think nurse is a very very wise woman. I’m hoping the campers did not have to pay for this camp out of their own pocket because these two girls are for sure going to stump their results.

The girls were also in charge of preparing dinner one night in which they totally botched. On the blog at E! Online, one of the coworkers admits they didn’t even eat that meal… interesting. Nicole looks like she weighs about 83 pounds right now. She has been rumored to have an eating disorder which she defiantly denies. If you haven’t seen it yet, this is worth a look. Here is an email invitation InTouch Weekly got their hands on from Nicole and her friend Masha to their Memorial Day Party this past weekend:

“From: Nicole Richie < xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx > To: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Subject: Masha and Nicole's Memorial Day Party Date: Thu 24 Ma 2007 04:29:29 +0000

Nicole’s rep is saying she was trying to be funny but not everyone is laughing. In the episode from Sunday night, she had a heart felt conversation with the campers regarding the rumor mill surrounding her weight. She tried to relate to the campers by saying it hurts just as much to be called too skinny as it is to be called fat because either way who you are in not acceptable. She had a point for second, but then I remembered reading this email yesterday and thought, nahhhhh Nicole still sucks.

"Clearly, she is thumbing her nose at the people in rehab," Dr. Joyce Brothers tells In Touch. "It's a huge form of acting out, and it shows that the treatment for her eating disorder did not do any good."

During the party - which was held at the house of Richie's BFF, Masha Gordon's - most of the guests drank beer and nibbled on barbecue, but "Nicole didn't eat anything," a witness tells In Touch.

Nutritionist Dr. Majid Ali tells the magazine, "I would place Nicole's weight at about 83 pounds. At 5'1", she should weigh 105 to 110 pounds. You can see a bit of bloat of her belly, consistent with a malnutrition syndrome. I would be very concerned for her health if I was a family member."

After watching the first episode and reading this, Nicole is sick and twisted and clearly has issues that need to be addressed. Paris is like the side kick in the show to me. She’s too concerned with looking sexy and acting like a sex kitten that she just looks stupid. Why did the family who runs this camp ever decide to let them work there? What did you guys think about the episode? Seriously, what would you do if you showed up to a fitness camp, paid a good amount of money for results and now you have to deal with these two high maintenance soon to be in jail reality stars?
