Rumor has it that Victoria Beckham only eats one meal per day. Another persisting story is that on a transatlantic flight between London and Los Angeles, she only drank mint tea and ate no food.

After the birth of her first child, Victoria became very thin and has stayed that way ever since. She looks skeletal and anorexic.

Valerie Bertinelli has gotten fat lately, but no one noticed until she started appearing in Jenny Craig weight loss ads with the less zaftig Kirstie Alley. Valerie herself admits that she ’stays off the red carpet’. So far, Val has lost 15 pounds. Good for her. Can she get down to her pre-fat days weight? Time will tell.

American Idol star, Carrie Underwood, just like Kelly Clarkson before her, has dropped a dress size or two as the publicity machine for her album starts churning. She’s now certifiably slim and has the look the music label handlers require prior to helping a female artist become successful.

Allegra Beck, whose family finally admitted that she was suffering from anorexia last year, has gotten some help and gained some weight back. Good for her. In previous years, she has looked like a walking skeleton.

Brooke Hogan is a Z-list celebrity whose weight fluctuates. Notice how slim she is in the middle photo; her stomach muscles are well defined. Later, Brooke gained some weight. I guess her father’s admonitions against eating chocolate chip cookies were ignored.

At her slimmest, in the middle photo, Brooke was very likely working out twice a day and sticking to the Atkins diet (she was seen mentioning the diet plan on her family’s reality tv show).

How many times have you heard a celebrity as ‘incredibly small in person’. This photo of Rachel Bilson posing with fans illustrates this vividly. Look at how scrawny she looks. The fact that she is a bit shorter than the other girls highlights her super small body. If you plan on being successful in Hollywood, eating is one of those bothersome habits you will have to eschew.

Sara Rue managed to land the lead role on a major network tv show despite being rather zaftig by Hollywood standards. Last year, I noticed that she had dropped a considerable amount of weight and a bit of research revealed that she had lost 30 pounds by ‘cutting out the alcohol over a three year period’. Gee, that sounds suspicious to to me. Did she get a lap band? I believe so, because she has always appeared a hefty girl, she was never a celebrity who vascillated in weight a la Janet Jackson. Something major had to have happened to make her stop eating.

Ok, so if we believe the proferred story, Sara must have been quite the beer guzzler before. To top off her weight loss, Sara acquired the requisitie tarty blonde hair sported by most Hollywood starlets. It doesn’t look as good on her as the 30 pound weight loss.

Calista Flockhart is rumored to be a long time anorexic. Even in high school photos of the actress, she is very thin and petite. The worst she ever looked was at the 1998 Emmys, where the sinew and veterbrae of her back were very visable. Onlookers were horrified, but Calista kept on trucking.

Lately, Calista looks like she has gained a few pounds (by her standards, she looks Rubenesque), but is still very tiny and petite. How small are celebrities compared to ‘normal people’? Check out this photo of Calista standing in front of a crowd and see the difference.

Her skeletal makeup resembles that of a teenager rather than an adult. Scary.

This site is about how celebs lose weight. We all know that it is not just diet and exercise in most Hollywood cases. Usually, it is something else, starting at the more sinister weight killers such as anorexia and bulimia, then cycling down to illegal street drugs like cocaine, adderall, or meth. Other Hollywood weight loss methods are diet pills like Phentermine and Didrex. B-12 shots, excessive exercisizing, personal chefs, Zone Diet meal delivered via Fedex also come into play. And then, you have the slim percentage of stars who eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly.

The main message of this site is for regular people not to beat themselves up, because they are not a size 2. Celebrities have access to weight loss tools you could not even begin to imagine or even, often times, afford.
