Celebrity weight change

celebrity,diets,celebrity news Celebrity weight change It happens every time. Girl moves to Hollywood. Girl gets famous. Girl starts to shrink significantly (and often gets blonder in the process). However, some celebs buck this worrying trend, and let nature take its course by developing some curves - be it through age, childbirth, or merely a healthier attitude

Gary Barlow

celebrity,Take That,diets,music Gary Barlow
 
After being dropped by his label, Gary Barlow ballooned to 16 stone, thanks to a heavy diet of junk food and illicit substances. The Take That reunion tour helped him keep his weight down, a quest made easier while the band stayed in the land of health-food - Los Angeles - where they promoted their Oscar-tipped song for the film \'Stardust\'. Now, TV duties mean that Barlow is at the forefront of our minds, and he\'s looking rather dapper while judging on the X Factor. \r\nThe over 25s - Louis Walsh
\r\nThe groups - Tulisa Contostavlos
\r\nThe boys - Gary Barlow

Britney Spears

Britney Spears,celebrity,diets,relationship problem,celebrity news britney spears baby Fat. With two children under the age of two and a newly finalised divorce under her belt, it might be a tad unfair to give Britney flak for gaining a little weight on her still-athletic frame. Her fashion choices and recent behaviour at photoshoots, however, are another matter

Tyra Banks

When an unflattering beach shot led to headlines such as \'America\'s next top waddle\', Tyra Banks hit back by appearing on the cover of \'People\' magazine with the headline \'You call THIS fat?\' looking admittedly curvier, but still supermodel-gorgeous. Heidi Klum seems to agree, saying of Tyra, \'She has a very womanly, gorgeous body that goes up and down\'

Mariah Carey

Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan,rehab,celebrity,diets,celebrity news lindsay lohan curvy Rehab may not have done her many favours, but it has helped Lindsay achieve a far more healthily curvaceous look, which was absent when the former teen queen\'s weight dropped dramatically in 2005. However, her weight seems to be the least of Lindsay\'s problems, with her new film \'I Know Who Killed Me\' being panned by critics in the US

Kirstie Alley

Since his days in \'What\'s Eating Gilbert Grape\' and \'Titanic\', Leo\'s gone from scrawny teen heart-throb to a mature actor with some love handles. After dating a string of models, art may be imitating life, as Leo\'s rumoured to star as \'Playboy\' founder Hugh Hefner in a big screen biopic

Jennifer Love Hewitt

Mel C

Mel C,celebrity,diets,celebrity news Mel C \'Sporty Spice\' she may have been, but newly engaged Mel C admitted she also used to suffer from an eating disorder during her Spice Girl days, which she\'s now afraid could affect her fertility. Let\'s hope the rest of the girls don\'t take the lead from Posh, size-wise, when they head out on tour later this year

Janet Jackson

After losing a remarkable amount of weight, Janet Jackson is set to release a fitness DVD. However, it may now be pushed back, as she was recently spotted in a baggy t-shirt and trousers looking a little more fuller-figured

Calista Flockhart

celebrity,diets,celebrity news,mental health Calista Flockhart The still slim but healthy-looking \'Brothers and Sisters\' star\'s appearance at the 1998 Emmy\'s kicked off a media storm over her gaunt body. But Calista recently said, \'on a frame like mine, if I lose a few pounds, it makes a big difference. There was no anorexia or bulimia or any other such thing. I hated every bit of attention on my weight and size\'

Jamie Lee Curtis

cosmetic surgery,celebrity,celebrity news,jamie lee curtis Jamie Lee Curtis At age 43, Jamie Lee did what no woman in Hollywood had done before: baring all unglamorously. And not \'all\' meaning airbrushed, self-tanned, and liposuctioned to perfection, but \'all\' meaning, according to Jamie Lee, \'a soft, fatty little tummy\' and \'back fat\'. She may not claim to be \'The Body\' anymore, but Jamie Lee is still stunning, curves and all

John Travolta

All that dancing kept John Travolta fit as a fiddle in \'Grease\' and \'Saturday Night Fever\', but age and those Big Kahuna burgers have given him a little bit of a paunch. He could be doing far worse, though - he had to wear a fat-suit for his latest cross-dressing role as Edna Turnblad in \'Hairspray\'
