No one believes Kelly Rowland got her hawt bod from a DVD

Earlier I told you about Queen Latifah’s ex-lover, Jeanette Jenkins, making an exercise DVD with singer Kelly Rowland. According to That B*tch, Jeanette posted stills from her DVD on her facebook page last night. Although the images from the DVD are visually appealing, what’s the point of the DVD when we all know Kelly didn’t hone her naturally hawt bod from trying Jeanette’s exercises?

These celebrity exercise DVDs are entertaining, and they provide something to do while passing the time. But there should be a disclaimer on the packaging that there is no guarantee you will look like Kelly Rowland just by exercising to a DVD.




 

Jennifer Hudson Spotted Out & About

Jennifer Hudson was spotted arriving at the NY studio where ‘Late Show with David Letterman’ is taped to promote her new sophomore album, I Remember Me. It was announced today that Hudson signed a $1 million book deal to write a weight-loss memoir that is due to be released in January 2012. Jennifer claims to have lost 80 lbs with the Weight Watchers program. Book publishers initially hesitated to sign Hudson to a book deal because she refused to write about the tragic murders of her mother, brother and nephew.

Last Friday, Hudson fell ill with severe stomach pains while performing during ABC’s Good Morning America concert series in NY. She was rushed to the ER where she was reportedly treated for food poisoning and released.

Beyoncé’s Fans Shocked By Her Sudden Weight Loss

Beyoncé, 29, landed at Nice airport in France yesterday to rehearse for her upcoming concerts there. Bey wore a striking black & white outfit from head to toe. She accessorized her outfit with a pair of sharp looking Gianmarco Lorenzi.

But it was her gaunt, sickly appearance that caught the attention of her fans in Europe and stateside. Beyoncé looked shockingly thin! A confidential source tells Sandrarose.com that Bey is worried sick about her new album, entitled ’4′.

Her concerned fans took to blogs and message boards yesterday to discuss her sudden weight loss.

Even though she’s half the woman she used to be, Beyoncé tried to put on a game face for her European fans.

According to a Columbia records source, the release date for Bey’s fourth studio album has been pushed back to add a couple of dance tracks in hopes of appeasing her gay fans who are unhappy with the current product. The new release date will be announced sometime this week.

Jennifer Hudson’s Camp Responds to Lap-Band Rumors

As you know, Jennifer Hudson fell ill with severe stomach pains while performing on ABC’s Good Morning America Summer Concert Series on Friday. She was rushed to a NYC hospital where she was reportedly treated for food poisoning and released a few hours later.

It wasn’t long before rumors began swirling that the 29-year-old Oscar winner was actually experiencing complications from a gastric lap-band procedure she underwent in 2009.

Yesterday evening, someone from Jennifer’s camp left this comment on my blog:

TheVoiceOfReason says:

Okay,

I have read all the garbage and now will insert a few facts.

Star Jones, with all her lies, has ruined massive weight loss for all Black women. Lap Band Surgery is the first thing out of haters mouths when a woman of color loses a large amount of weight, not so fast.

The Facts: Jennifer’s weight loss journey lasted 20 months (not 3 or 6) and it began days after her son’s birth in August of 2009. Her journey began by walking several miles a day and totally changing her eating habits. For a year she ate nothing but baked chicken or fish with brown rice and veggies and lost only about 20 pounds or so. Racked with frustration Jenn switched over to Weight Watchers which taught her portion control and the right combinations of food. WW in tandem with a 5-6 day a week workout routine caused the pounds to fall off. Jennifer does not eat tiny bites, she eats a full meal 5 times or so a day. She did not have Lap Band or any other type of weight loss surgey, period.

Anyone can do what she did, it just takes patience and discipline.

When travelling, as she often does, she tends to eat either restaurant or hotel room service food. Bottom line, her breakfast did not sit too well with her on Friday the 10th. Bad food coupled with singing and gyrating around the GMA stage just stirred up the gastric acids in her stomach causing intense cramping sending her to the ER. End of story.

Just because Star Jones lied does not mean that every Black woman lies about her weight loss journey. And do you really believe that Weight Watchers would open themselves to possible lawsuits of false advertising for Jennifer Hudson? I think not.
