Hey everyone, from now on – along with my regular posts – I’ll be including a feature called Celebrity Diets & Skinny Bites that will collect the latest tidbits of news and gossip about celebrity weight, diet and body exercise from magazines, tabloids and other news & gossip sources. I’ll do these posts as often as there is new gossip to share, plus include a couple of random photos.

The Skinny Website is just about 4 years old, and posts like these are why I originally started the website way back in 2005 – in order to share the latest celebrity diet/body gossip.

Enjoy!

• OK! Magazine is claiming that Jessica Simpson has ‘lost 12 more pounds!’ by switching to a healthier diet. A friend of Jessica’s tells the magazine, “Jessica can lose up to seven pounds in a week when she puts her mind to it. She has it down to a science: She switches to a healthier lifestyle, and the weight falls right off.”
• National Enquirer’s latest cover story is about Angelina Jolie’s alleged ‘collapse’ at home. The story claims that Angelina is down to 104 pounds and can’t stop losing weight. It goes on to say that Brad is forcing her into rehab because “she’s weak, frail and barely able to keep up with the demands of their kids” according to one source.
• The same magazine claims that Mariah Carey’s weight has recently ‘exploded’. Her pals claim Mariah has put on a shocking 42 pounds from gorging on macaroni and cheese, fried chicken, caviar and lots of champagne. According to the story, even her husband Nick has been urging her to lay off the booze and fattening food. “She’s in danger of passing the 200-pound milestone if she doesn’t get her weight in check” says a source.
• Ashlee Simpson is looking thinner than ever these days (as we’ve seen in recent photos), but supposedly she has a very healthy appetite and likes to chow down on cheeseburgers, french fries, soup, tacos, etc. Her ’secret’? According to a recent issue of Woman’s Health, Ashlee burns off the calories by running after Bronx and by doing Pilates. She originally lost the baby weight by sticking with a home delivery meal plan for a while, which she didn’t enjoy because of the ‘lack of food’.
• According to an online source, Jennifer Aniston lost some weight by doing the ‘no white’ diet – not eating anything with starch in it. Britney Spears lost weight by eating a LOT of meat – turkey, salmon and chicken; and Jennifer Garner lost the rest of her baby weight by eating smaller meals and exercising more.
