Oprah is complaining again about her weight. It seems she’s gained 40 pounds recently (again). You can read more about it below, see recent photos and watch a video. And hey, it won’t cost you one calorie to do it!
Well she’s done it again - no, not Britney, Oprah.
Oprah Winfrey says in 2006, she weighed 160 pounds, but now has gained 40 pounds causing her to weigh in at a hefty 200 pounds! And now she says she is mad at herself for letting herself gain the weight yet again. She says she feels like a ‘fat cow!’
Here’s what Oprah has to say in a recent interview:
“I’m embarrassed … I can’t believe that after all these years, all the things I know how to do, I’m still talking about my weight. I look at my thinner self and think, ‘How did I let this happen again?’ “
Some people might call it a lack of self-control but Oprah thinks one of the problems is her thyroid. (I am holding my tongue. Really.) It seems her thyroid was ‘out-of-balance’ which gave her ‘a fear of working out.’
Ok.
Back in 1988, she memorably shed 67 pounds to slip into some skinny jeans on national TV. She admits that to be able to do that, she literally starved herself for 4 months on a liquid-protein diet without a morsel of food. Two days after that famous show, her skinny jeans didn’t fit anymore because she had started eating again.
Off and on over the years, her show has been built around her weight. Now, it will be the focus again for upcoming health shows in January with the catalyst being Barack Obama’s inaugural ball and squeezing that figure into something quite special. You can read more about her newest weight loss plans in the new issue of O which will be on newsstands December 16th.
By the way does anyone else notice all of the ‘Oprah self-loathing’ going on with her or the efforts to repeatedly use her weight losses and gains for show publicity? Good grief!

After a brief battle with pneumonia at a Chicago hospital, Bernie Mac died this morning, according to family members. Read the story and see photos and video here.
Bernie Mac, the 50-year old raucous comedian, died this morning from complications due to pneumonia. Bernie Mac had suffered from sarcoidosis, which is an inflammatory lung disease. The condition reportedly went into remission in 2005. There are no other details available at this time, and his publicist asked that the family’s privacy be respected.
Bernie Mac was born in Chicago, IL on October 5, 1957. His full name was Bernard Jeffrey McCollough. Because of his large family and his experiences growing up in Chicago’s South Side, Mac had a wealth of material for his humor. He performed his first standup routine when he was only 8 years old - performing for the church congregation by impersonating his grandparents at the dinner table.
It was tragedy that made Bernie Mac appreciate the healing power of laughter - he lost his mother and both brother early in life. He worked odd jobs to make enough money to live while working on the side to develop his comedy. He was able to establish his own weekly variety show at Chicago’s Regal Theater and joined the comedy club circuit in 1977.
Bernie Mac gained national attention for his comedy with Spike Lee’s Original Kings of Comedy. He was known for edgy comedy that, at first, would seem a bad fit fo television. However when he was able to create a sitcom on his own terms, he came up with the Bernie Mac show in 2001. He based the show on family experiences, and the show had a strong debut on Fox. It ran through 2006 and starred Bernie Mac as the father of three adopted kids. The show won an Emmy and a Peabody award. Movie Credits include Bad Santa, and Oceans Eleven.
Photos/pictures and a video of Bernie Mac are below.
Kristen Johnston is the Emmy-award winning actress best known for playing Lt. Sally Solomon on 3rd Rock From The Sun. She’s been in numerous plays, movies and television shows. Now she’s in the news for losing weight - too much weight. See photos, video and a biography of Kristen below.
Kristen Johnston recently lost 60 pounds, and some folks seem to think that anorexia may be the culprit. Kristen disagrees:
I am, uh… a 6 foot tall woman, I feel like I’m a healthy size, I’m not anorexic; and I feel that people who aren’t anorexic are punished… for not being anorexic.
~Kristen Johnston~
The real reason for the weight loss is that Kristen suffered a burst ulcer back in December 2006, and since then she has been diligent about healthy eating. You can look at the photos below and decide for yourself if there’s a chance she’s anorexic.
Kristen Johnston was born September 20, 1967 in Washington D.C. However, her family moved and she grew up in Wisconsin. Her age is 40 - soon to be 41. Her height gets her noticed! By the time she was 13 years old, she was already 6 feet tall. That, coupled with her big voice, caused her some distress in her youth. She traveled as an exchange student - in Sweden and South American - before settling down at NYU where she studied drama and learned that her height and voice could be assets.
