Lady Gaga Gained 30 Pounds

Fans in Amsterdam were shocked when the petite singer showed off a much fuller figure on tour.  However, Lady Gaga is showing her displeasure not at her rapid weight gain but at her critics.  Reportedly her record label told the singer she needed to lose weight.  Gaga took to Twitter by posting a picture of Marilyn Monroe and tweeting  "To all the girls that think you're ugly because you're not a size 0, you're the beautiful one. It's society who's ugly."

Gaga says she gained the weight by indulging in pizza and pasta and has no regrets.  Currently she is back on a diet to try to lose some of the weight but is happy that she's healthy.  In high school she said she used to make herself throw up which was detrimental to her vocal chords.

In the end she offered some positive advice by saying "I'm gonna say this about girls: The dieting wars have got to stop. Everyone just knock it off. Because at the end of the day, it's affecting kids your age. And it's making girls sick."

Victoria Beckham Runs 6 Days a Week

Victoria Beckham has never really been at role model for me as far as weight goes.  I personally have always thought she was too waif-ish.  After having another baby Victoria says she is back to her size 0 frame.  Maybe it's just me but I find any woman pushing 40 that's a size 0 to be unattractive.  If that's what you like and try to strive for then read on for her secrets.

Victoria credits running as the reason she got back into great shape so quickly.  She ran six times per week for 4-5 miles at a time.  Her hubby soccer star David Beckham confirmed this by saying she's obsessed with working out and is at the gym every morning.  Victoria also eats a high protein low carbohydrate diet.  She has also been known to snack on the tails of shrimp and prawns.  The tails are packed with protein, minimal in calories and give you that crunch one likes from chips.

How Jessica Simpson Lost the Baby Weight

While some might suggest Jessica still has a ways to go, she has lost a considerable amount of weight since giving birth to her daughter Maxwell.  Maxwell was born a whopping 9 pounds 13 ounces.  That'll hurt anyone's cooter.  Jessica's ads for Weight Watchers should be coming out this month and has already turned a lot of fans off.  The ads for now will only show Jessica from the neck up.  That to me says that Weight Watcher's is not happy with her progress thus far.  In her defense she gained 65-75 pounds during her pregnancy.  That is a huge amount of weight to gain especially since the norm is around 30-40 pounds.  Jessica had her baby via C-section so she wasn't able to jump on the treadmill very quickly.  She stated that she wanted to do a diet that was more of a lifestyle change since she has yo-yo dieted in the past.  Her fitness role model is another Jessica, Jessica Alba.  I find Alba to be some what of an alien.  She is just way too perfect and gets back into shape within nano seconds of giving birth.  Jessica Alba has even said that she will starve herself if she has to to get back into pre baby shape. Not a great role model in my eyes but to each his own. 

For more realistic goal setting mothers, Jessica made a great statement "After you have your baby it's like, 'Oh my God, what happened to my body?' This is not me,. It would be nice to feel comfortable in a bikini, but that's not my goal. I just want to fit into jeans!" 

So you ask, how did she lose 40 pounds thus far?  By eating small portions frequently throughout the day.  She's also sticking to a high protein low carbohydrate diet.  Doesn't sound like rocket science to me. 

7 a.m. - Jessica wakes up and feeds Maxwell, then has breakfast: half a flat-bread sandwich with egg whites, peppers and fat-free cheddar
8 a.m. - Simpson walks up to an hour a day, trying to get at least 14,000 steps on her pedometer. Afterward: a snack of berries, bananas, melon or grapefruit.
11 a.m. - Four days a week, Simpson works out for 45 minutes with a trainer doing a combination of cardio and circuit-training exercises such as dumbbell triceps extensions, hamstring curls and crunches with a medicine ball.
1 p.m. - Jessica, 32, eats lunch of spinach salad with 4 ounces of chicken satay and pear.
2 p.m. Simpson walks again outside or on the treadmill, then has a berry smoothie.
6:30 p.m. Dinner of fish (4 ounces of halibut or tilapia) with roasted eggplant, broccoli or asparagus. Low-fat ice cream for dessert.
10 p.m. Bedtime.

Mob Wives Finale Nora Arrested

The Mob Wives season finale is on and I'm glad it's over so I don't have to hear about Nora's dead father anymore. For now anyway. The episode aired earlier and there was no Twitter buzz going on so I'm a little nervous it's going to be a borefest. I like Renee but aren't we a little old for this high school what did Nora say to you bullshit? Holy disgusting her pasta! I really can't imagine what it feels like to have Leah's head of hair. It just looks really unmanageable and kinda gives me anxiety. She's a cool broad though, I like her. Nora just wants to keep clinging onto whoever she can to discuss this whole exhumation of her father's body. It's borderline crazy and I feel like she needs to let it go. You can tell that everyone she talks to is just trying to find ways to tune her out. When it comes to Renee and her daughter I'm still torn by who I believe when it comes to Gianna's dad. I grew up in a household myself where my mom bashed my dad and my dad bashed my mom. It wasn't until I was older that I realized they were both right about eachother they just exaggerated their points. I don't understand why Gianna belittles the fact that her dad was involved in a brutal murder and DOES belong in jail. This heartfelt conversation Renee had this time makes me proud that she took the high road. Speaking ill of your ex to your child will not only make your child uncomfortable but will push them away.

Oy evay now back to Nora. She goes to the site and her dad isn't there. She starts having a breakdown driving to the crematory where her dad supposedly is. The police pull her over and tell her she's under investigation. Is this VH1's big finale? This season has made me miss the original Mob Wives. Drita and Renee Graziano have more entertainment in their fingernail then these bitches. Nora get let go which obviously was a stall tactic by the police. Watching Nora talking about the government stealing her dads body makes her look like she just escaped from a mental ward. So after all of this Nora chooses not to look at the body. This guy at the funeral home tells her it's bad and he's decomposing. His eye lids, mouth and nose are gone. This guy pleads with her not to see the body. THEN...someone else takes a look at the body and informs Nora that he doesn't think this is her dad. The dramatics of the garage door going up and down is really laughable VH1 I'm sorry. With all of the rigamoroll Nora decides to look for herself. She can't tell if it's him or not that's how bad the body is. So she will have to wait 2 weeks until the DNA results are confirmed.

Leah, Pia, Christina and Renee start off kissing eachothers asses on the boat. Renee literally makes an ass out of herself and it shows the captain isn't amused. The girls are obviously drunk at this point because they're trying to have a heart to heart. Leah brings up making up with Nora and the party seems to now be over. Pia and Renee aren't amused and have no plans on making peace. Get over it girls!!!! VH1 revealed at the end of the episode that the body in said casket was in fact Nora's father. Now let's hope we don't have to hear about this anymore next season. All in all this was a pretty boring first season of Mob Wives Chicago...epic fail.

LeAnn Rimes Caught on Tape Bashing Brandi

LeAnn Rimes has done it again. We all know about the war between her and her husband's ex wife Brandi Glanville. However, I thought they had considered it water under the bridge? While Brandi makes it clear she is still feuding with her ex Eddie over issues with the kids, Brandi and LeAnn started sharing semi-sweet tweets to eachother. Well, now a nasty taped phone conversation could threaten the already strained relationship between the two. Instead of keeping her mouth shut, LeAnn thought it was necessary to call a Brandi fan on Twitter personally via phone call. Did she not think this chick was going to record the conversation? Is it any of this fans business anyways what is going on between these two ladies? After all there are kids involved. So in this lovely taped phone conversation LeAnn is recorded saying Brandi is "Vindictive as fucking shit." This recording was taped recently too so she can't say it was "before" they made amends. The genius that LeAnn is decided to call one of Brandi's fans from Twitter.  What would make her think that would turn out in her favor? While on the phone with one of the "Brandi Bunch" LeAnn was sitting with one of her fans who bashes Brandi constantly on Twitter.  So LeAnn's idea of being a mature adult in this matter is to fly her "stalkers" on Twitter out to call Brandi fans and argue her point like a teenager.   You be the judge and who's side are you on? Listen to it here.
