Weighty Extras

weight loss 9 1[Blind Gossip] When this wholesome celebrity pops up on your TV screen trying to convince you that eating the foods from weight-loss company X is responsible for her new body, your eyes should roll hard to the back of your head.

Sure, the diet works… if you couple it with more than one round of liposuction, a semi-starvation diet, a personal trainer, a chef, and multiple body sculpting procedures. However, we doubt our celebrity will ever mention those things in the commercials.

    Marie Osmond/Nutrisystem

    I don’t believe this works at all. Several years ago, I tried Nutrisystem. The food tasted like the powdery stuff I made in my easy bake oven as a kid. I can’t imagine there was any nutrition in it.

  7. KatarinaJ says

    That is a good guess too! Why would ANYONE ever believe celebs? I mean the companies themselves should be leery of using them. We ALL know they can afford to be thin. yes trainers, lipo, lifestyle, good genetics to begin with (for most) as well as a million other tricks. I’d NEVER believe Jenny Craig was what made a celeb thin… or any other diet. I’d think their MONEY did!

  8. KatarinaJ says

    Although I keep thinking Valerie Bertenelli is pretty wholesome too but is she a spokesperson anymore. Wholesome IS Marie over Oprah.

    Marie Osmond. No, I don’t believe any of the commercials. Do they think we are all simple-minded idiots who look at Our Betters flogging their cans of goo, special pills or miracle diets, and that we think ‘well, if it works for THEM, it’s sure good ’nuff fer ME, too!’ Maybe for the Jerry Springer crowd.

  12. propita says

    She conveniently omits that her big weight loss started when she was on ‘Dancing With The Stars.” That intense, consistent exercise is what did it. THEN, she went to whatever weight loss group.

    Has to be Jessica Simpson. “Wholesome” Christian girl who waited until marriage to lose her virginity…has been intagramming bikini pics/see through dresses showcasing her “new” body. She looks great…but I’m sorry, after 2 kids back to back it takes a lot more than a diet to look that that.

    Wholesome Celebrity: Alyssa Milano comes to mind first
    Do I believe these celebrity endorsers? Nope, no way would they eat these disgusting pre-packaged foods when they can afford a private chef.

  24. MysticMeme says

    I’ll go with Marie Osmond for $20. Celebrity weight loss ads only impress me if they suggest I eat chocolate EVERY day after every meal.

  27. Tallie says

    Marie Osmond

    No, celebrity endorsements have no effect on whether I use a product.

  33. QueenVee says

    Alyssa Milano is in that Atkins commercial.

    No, I don’t believe the celebs in the ads. They can afford chefs, plastic surgery, etc..,so I think when they’re in those ads it’s all crap.

  37. AlohaCanuckEh says

    Marie Osmond – clue was the wholesome and eyerolling to the back of your head like she did on Dancing With The Stars

  41. parkland45 says

    Kirsti Alley…I bet!

    The only one I believe got the weight off honestly is Valerie Bertinelli. I could be wrong here…but she just looks so earnest.

  42. picky picky says

    I’m guessing Marie Osmond. She does ads for Nutrisystem
    “wholesome” is the hint

  44. kcphilly says

    I never believe any of them. To narrow it does to someone “wholesome” and someone rather new to being a spokesperson would be Oprah “I eat bread everyday!!! Winfrey.

  46. Rottweiler says

    Marie Osmond. Doesn’t even look like her anymore from all the face lifts and Botox

  48. mrcellophane says

    If it’s supposed to be O- I don’t buy her as wholesome. nor do I trust celebrity endorsements.

  51. BackToMe says

    Wholesome Celebrity: Kirstie Alley

    [Optional] Do you believe the celebrities on those weight-loss commercials? Rarely.

  52. copssister says

    Wholesome Celebrity: Marie Osmond

    It’s all an industry….focused on profits, not making people healthy. Tied to the pharmaceutical industry as well. Eat real food and your body will be the size it was intended to be. Eat real food and you’ll likely not have to worry about your glucose levels or good/bad cholesterol scores. EAT REAL FOOD.

  58. CanadaBrunette says

    Oprah. I think it’s laughable how she says she “finally” discovered the solution when WW has been around forever

    Wholesome Celebrity: Marie “She’s a Little Bit Country” Osmond

    [Optional] Do you believe the celebrities on those weight-loss commercials? No.

  60. vulgarcriminal says

    Marie Osmond! Otherwise known as the only “wholesome” celebrity shilling that crap.

  61. Kerzep says

    Well, the word “wholesome” makes me believe that this is Marie Osmond for Nutrisystem.

  68. JennyJustice says

    Marie Osmond if it’s a spokesperson we’ve already seen. IDK if it’s someone to come that we haven’t seen yet. No, I do not believe any of them going as far back as Suzanne Somers and the Thigh Master. Even she, way back then, in the 80s or 90s got busted having had lipo on her hips and thighs. And her response was the ultimate: “I have to smooth thighs and hips to effectively sell the Thigh Master.” It didn’t occur to her to actually use the thing she was selling to get those…

  71. Molly7111 says

    The only person I can think of is Marie Osmond. She’s had a face lift, breast enhancement, and liposuction on her stomach. Probably more that’s not obvious.
    No, I don’t believe celebrities on weight-loss commercials.

  73. inopickme says

    Marie Osmond– she is not kidding anybody. I thought she looked good at first with the weight loss, but she is looking “manufactured” lately–she needs to lay off!

  79. SouthJerseyGirl says

    Marie Osmond for Nutrisystem. She does look pretty great and I totally agree – it’s not just from eating some pre-packaged meals.

  82. kelno19 says

    Wholesome celebrity: Marie Osmond. No, I don’t for all the reasons you’ve listed.

  88. whoareallthesepeople says

    Gotta be Marie Osmond/Nutrisystem. Kirstie Alley for Jenny Craig is probably not ever going to be described as “wholesome” (coke habit and Scientology be d****d), and Weight Watchers doesn’t make you buy their own line of food, so Oprah is out. Can’t think of any other celebuspeakers who do weight loss…

    Do I believe them? Generally not – even *I* could lose weight if I could afford a personal trainer and six hours in the gym every day!

  92. stolidog says

    Marie Osmand. eyes rolling to the back of your head is a reference to her doll line.

    Well, Oprah said she loves bread, and it looks like she’s gained weight since then, so…maybe I believe her that she does love bread. but that’s about it.

  93. carnivoro says

    I was going to say Sharon Osbourne, but I don’t think she is wholesome.

    I would say Marie Osmond as a best bet. She does look wonderful

    Optional : Not all of them, but some of them.

  94. PinkCrayon says

    Oprah?

    Optional: Noo personal trainers and surgeries make up most of their diets. Plus most of them don’t live the lives we do, so what works for them might not work for me or you.

  97. moxiegumption says

    Marie Osmond for Jenny Craig?

    No, I don’t believe the weight loss companies the celebrities represent are wholly responsible for their weight loss. They probably have a lot of surgical help.

  104. good2know says

    Marie Osmond? oddly enough, i saw a commercial of her’s the other day and thought the same thing – there is no way she hasn’t had work done.
