Melissa McCarthy, of Bridesmaids fame and credited with hosting the best episode of Saturday Night Live in recent history, appeared on Anderson Cooper’s daytime talk show and said she doesn’t really have that much time to obsess about her weight. She said, “There’s so many other things to worry about. I still worry about it, but I think, my kids are healthy, I’ve got a great husband, and I go to work every day and I do what I want. I’ll keep working on [my body]…I just can’t put any time to worrying about it.” She added that she’d love “to wake up one morning and weigh, like, 94 pounds,” but concluded she doesn’t think that’s in the cards for her. Which is fine, because I think most of us enjoy who she happens to be right now. Besides, she brought back the word “undercarriage” into today’s lingo, and it would be weird if she expressed an interest in losing weight and not having one anymore. – Us
Lady Gaga told Vanity Fair recently that she doesn’t know what it feels like to be in a happy relationship with a man, and fears she never will. She said, “I have an inability to know what happiness feels like with a man. I think what it really is is that I date creative people. And I think that’s what intimidates them is not my purse, it’s my mind…It starts out good. Then when I’m in these relationships with people who are also creative, or creative in their own way, what happens is the attraction is initially there and it’s all unicorns and rainbows. But then they hate me. It’s a hideous place to be in when someone that you love has convinced you that you will never be good enough for anyone.” – People
There are a lot of crazy diets out there (I have at least 4 downloaded onto my Kindle), but it turns out the most effective one doesn’t have anything to do with watching what you eat. Instead, it has everything to do with being Hugh Jackman and acting in a Broadway musical. The British publication, Express, reports Jackman’s role in Hugh Jackman: Back on Broadway has such rigorous dance numbers and requires so much physical activity that he loses 3 to 4 pounds PER NIGHT. Jackman confirmed he’s lost weight since the show’s beginning to NPR, saying “We started a week ago; already they’ve taken in my pants three times.” So… lose the cayenne pepper, I guess! – Express
