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? 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.

    • 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!

    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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  18. 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!

    • KatarinaJ says

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

  27. 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.

  33. 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!

  35. 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.

  38. 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…

  45. Kerzep says

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

  46. vulgarcriminal says

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

  47. Seahawks12 says

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

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

  48. CanadaBrunette says

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

  54. 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.

  55. BackToMe says

    Wholesome Celebrity: Kirstie Alley

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

    • mrcellophane says

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

  59. Rottweiler says

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

  61. 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.

  63. picky picky says

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

  64. 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.

  68. AlohaCanuckEh says

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

  72. 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.

  81. 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.

  83. Summiko says

    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.

  86. mermaidh2 says

    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.

  90. Katmandu says

    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.

  91. nylahou says

    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.
