Remember when Kirstie Alley got fired from Jenny Craig for regaining all that weight she very publicly lost?
And then remember when she said that wasn’t the reason at all and everyone was so mean about it and really it was because she was going to start her own weight-loss program, to debut in 2009?
Let’s just say that’s on hold for the time being.
Just while she polishes off a KFC Variety Bucket, a full rack of ribs, that vat of mashed potatoes, a trough of Ben & Jerry’s Whirled Peace, and an entire Jonas Brother to wash it down.
For the record, just to clarify, I think Jenny Craig was hypocritical to fire someone for regaining weight on their completely unsustainable plan of eating crap food for life.
That said, never take weight-loss advice from someone as wide as a Hummer.
Interesting tactic, this.
Oscar-winning actress Tatum O’Neal tearfully expressed gratitude for the cops busting her crack-buying ass yesterday, saying they “saved” her before she was about to relapse.
“I’m still sober!” she announced to me, two hours after being sprung from a night in jail, rumpled but far more rested and relaxed than I might look after a warm shower and heavy doses of caffeine.
“Just when I was about to change that and wreck my life, the cops came and saved me!” Tatum crowed.
“I was saved by the bell, by the guys in the Seventh Precinct.”
So she’s claiming the War on Drugs suddenly found success and rescued a former addict — one who wrote a book about how important it was to maintain sobriety — before she had even a sample of the drugs? How fortunate is that timing?
Brad Pitt likes to talk about how he originally wanted to be an architect, which would have robbed us of such film classics as… Anyway, before he became 24/7 tabloid fodder, he wanted to design buildings for a living. And now he’s getting his chance!
Brad Pitt, the star of “Fight Club” and “Ocean’s 11″ who professes a passion for architecture, will be a design consultant for an 800-room hotel and resort Zabeel Properties plans to build in Dubai, the developer said.
Zabeel, based in Dubai, hired architecture firm Graft LLC to design an America-themed hotel in the United Arab Emirates city, the closely held developer said today in a statement… “Acting is my career, architecture is my passion,” Pitt said in the statement. As “my first major construction project,” the Dubai hotel will feature “environmentally friendly architecture, but also embrace my career in entertainment.”
What, Meet Joe Black posters above all the recycling bins?
It’s kind of funny that the hotel will be “environmentally friendly,” considering Dubai itself is the least environmentally friendly place on earth. Per capita, Dubai has the biggest ecological footprint in the world according to the World Wildlife Fund. (The United States is in second place, and everybody knows how much we hate the planet.) They keep littering the place with artificial islands that destroy coral reefs, they’ve got one of the busiest airports in the world, and they’re fond of building things like indoor ski slopes where you can cavort in the snow while it’s hot enough outside to roast a chicken. They’re rich enough to do any damn thing they please, no matter how decadent or how much it hurts the environment.
But hey… Brad Pitt!
