Did you have more than your fair share of carbs for thanksgiving? Are you not interested in that tummy tuck or liposuction, but still want to fit into your Levi's? Then you may be interested in the Waistband Stretcher via SkyMall. It does just what it says. Which is refreshing in a way.
Speculations is abound in the blogosphere about Federline and his body habitus. Some imply that he is with child, while others say its just adipose collections. We will add him, however tentatively to the bloated list until further data surface. But changing his moniker to K-fat? That's just cruel.
The food tv show, Emeril Live! stopped production recently, while Essence of Emeril continues to air. It's reported to be due to contract problems. In the last 2 years, Emeril has gained a good deal of weight, matched only by Iron Chef Mario Batali. Is it due to poor dietary habits from being in the kitchen all day, a lack of exercise, or both? Their shows and restaurants have been so fantastic, it's a shame to to see them risk their health in this way. Liposuction wouldn't help them, they need lifestyle changes. Because we want them to keep cooking.
Alec Baldwin is the best thing to happen to sitcom television this season. If you've been watching Tina Fey's new show, 30 Rock, you couldn't help but agree. The other glaring truth is that Alec has appeared undeniably bloated in his TV incarnation as Jack Donaghy. Is it because the small screen adds extra pounds? No, probably not. For the sake of the future of TV comedy, we'd like to see him slim down, before he clogs a coronary vessel.
Al Gore made an appearance on the Grammys this week, alongside an energetic Queen Latifa. Gore appears to have steadily gained weight after his election loss. For his appearance, he had an ill-fitting suit that accentuated his girth. Weight gain is associated with depression, which may play a role here. Additionally, it can be hard to stick to a healthy diet when constantly traveling and eating at functions and benefits. In any case, he has earned a spot on the bloated roster.
As you finish off that last swig of eggnog and glazed ham from the holidays, think about Saget, and how he has gone the way of Louie Anderson by landing himself a gig as host of the new 1 vs. 100 gameshow and started bloating up good. Saget was brilliant in The Aristocrats, but doesn't add much to this game show, which is likely to be short-lived.
In this photo, Saget tells potential sponsors what he thinks of slimfast.
We have mentioned some bloating celebrties in previous posts (Favreau, Shatner/Spader, Travolta), but nothing is more entertaining than what has been imagined on Worth1000.com and their Feeding Time galleries.
Jon Favreau is one of our favorite actor/directors in hollywood, and Dinner for Five was one of the most brilliant shows to grace cable. It's that much more distressing to see his weight cyclically fluctuate.
He would be wise to decrease his caloric intake to dinner for less than two, and Barry Sears' Zone diet is a good way to go. It's a balanced, healthy and realistic way of eating that incorporates omega-3's to decrease body inflammation. Learn more about it here.

After seeing the Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner, the verdict is out. Expert celebrities agree that Shatner is irrevocably bloated. Jeff Ross eloquently jabs Shatner for his weight issues- see the video here. Catch more highlights here on Comedy Central.
You can roast Shat yourself at Comedy Central here.

With our recent talk of ACB (Acquired Celebrity Bloating syndrome), could it be true that obesity is contagious? An August 13, 2006 New York Times Magazine article describes Dr. Nikhil Dhurandhar's research at the University of Wisconsin. They were able to link obesity with a virus called AD-36 in chickens and marmosets. Check out the story here.
There may be a human obesity virus, but nothing definitive has been found. For now, Travolta will have to wait for the vaccine.
