America loves to watch celebrities bounce around the scale. I don’t know if it’s because it makes people feel better about their own struggles or what, but we’ve all sat in shock while reading a tabloid featuring a star who lost control of their weight.
I feel bad that celebrities are under the microscope so much, but since everyone knows them, they are a good example to use (or maybe, I should say bad example) for what excess fat can do to someone.
After looking at the recent slide show featured on Fox News this week, “” I couldn’t help but notice most of the celebrities that they were featuring appeared not to age well simply because they were overweight – even by just a few pounds.
Val Kilmer is my most disappointing heavy celeb. I always thought he was so hot – and now he’s not.
Kathleen Turner, you can still see her beauty, but imagine if she dropped the weight!
Matt Perry, still funny but a little fluffy.
Brigitte Bardot, fashion model, actor, singer and 1960’s sex symbol.
MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) – my mom used to love him. Now…not so much.
You still gotta love Laverne and Shirley’s Penny Marshall, but thinner is a winner.
Axl Rose’s pictures (from Guns & Roses) on Fox News didn’t do this transformation justice.
This before photo of Axl reminds me of how “pretty” hair band super stars were. Now, all he has left is the hair.
