Shocking Celeb Weight Transformations

The pressure that comes with fame can cause celebs to pack on extra weight, and in an industry where you’re only as good as you look these stars took control of their weight.

Please...lol Celebs are human just like the rest of us and they aren't under anymore stress than anyone else. Less actually. They gain weight for the same reasons anyone else gains weight. And there are many, many reasons. Gaining weight isn't always due to pigging out on the wrong types of foods. Losing weight is much more easy for them because they have the money, the time and access to diet specialists, personal trainers, personal chefs. They can even set up professional gyms in their own homes. They don't have race off to the gym after an 8 hour workday and after picking up the kids and making dinner for them.

I don't do links to other websites on any public forum. That said, your point about celeb versus non-celeb weight is?

Agreed. Just to clarify in case you thought the statement is mine: It was a quote from the first page of the slide show, which is why the statement is in italics.

@GATORGIRL Direct quotes should be in "quotation marks" NOT italics.

I guess my take on the celebrity weight gain/loss is this . . . I would absolutely hate to be constantly measured and scrutinized by daily paparazzi photos of me going about my daily business. I also recognize that being a celebrity has more than a few perks. I guess my heart goes out to those actors/actresses that are just doing their craft and don't alert the media when they will be arriving/departing a certain place so they are photographed accordingly.

Trust me, I would not want anyone to photograph me when I run to the grocery store but in the same token I have no one to call to let them know that I found asparagus on sale should they care to take a photo or two . . .

@GATORGIRL

i agree that the pressure is very high for celebrites. the way they look determines (in large part) the parts they get and who may and may not want them to represent their respective projects. this is how they make their living and determines their paycheck.

i haven't looked at the link, but will now.

thanks for your posting this!

Like everyone else, I have seen these so called "transformations". That being said, they all look (to me at least) as if they have been photo-shopped. The celebs heads look twice as big as their bodies. I guess the only good thing about them is, they are afforded products to try and can also afford any weight-loss system they wish to try. Not true for us others. Guess celebrity does have its' perks.

Most of them look good. Janet Jackson is the only one that gained all the weight back....some baby.....most just fat.
