Donna Miller, whose courtroom proceedings are replayed in the TV show “Lake Courts,” is famous for her unusual sentence deals. In her 17 years as a judge, Miller has ordered defendants to start jogging, take a dance class, tutor math and write Christmas cards, according to the Sentinel.

“I do what I do to try to change the person in front of me,” she said, acknowledging that her self-improvement sentences won’t be doled out to everyone. “If the person needs jail, they get jail.”

Miller said she would check McCovery’s weight after 20 days. And to her surprise, he had already shed 25 pounds.

“It’s not easy to lose weight,” Miller told the Sentinel. “I thought he’d lose 5, maybe, 6 pounds — not 25.”

Carrying extra pounds can raise the risk of chronic, debilitating and even life-threatening medical conditions such as heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes. And if waistlines keep expanding at current rates, experts predict half of the U.S. population will be obese by 2030.

McCovery, who takes medication for high blood pressure, said he wanted to lose weight during the trial. But it isn’t easy. Obesity treatments, such as bariatric surgery, are effective, but many people are reluctant to undergo such an invasive procedure. And a dearth of drugs approved to treat obesity leaves few options for extreme weight loss short of strict diets and intense exercise programs. (source)

Christina Aguilera’s powerhouse cattle cry and multiple raw emotion hand waves took a backseat to the chatter about her noticeable weight gain following the Michael Jackson tribute concert over the weekend. Tears in my rib tips.

Upon taking the stage in a tight, corseted onesie and fishnets, Christina was visibly disheveled. Brittan’s the Daily Mail was one of the many news outlets to weigh in unfavorably on the singer’s new look. “Her blonde hair, which was filled out with long extensions, was matted mess and her skimpy corset and fishnets did little to flatter her very curvy figure,” writes the Daily Mail reporter.

Internet blogs were far less kind when it came to Christina’s more noticeable curves. “She’s gone all Aretha Franklin,” wrote Celebitchy. And, “It’s quite clear Ms. Aguilera needs to shed a few pounds,” blog That Grape Juice posted after the performance. (source)

WATCH CHRISTINA PERFORM “DIRTY DIANA” AND “SMILE”

Ices Brown is body confident and there isn’t a damn thing you can do about it. Donning her most ill-fitting dress to date the web cam kitten matches her weight in gold while performing “coreagrafee” to Beyonce’s infectious hit “Countdown.”

All up in the kitchen in my heels — dinner time!

My 2011 goal sheet < This.

Susanne Eman tells London’s Sun that she is eating in the neighborhood of 20,000 calories a day in order to place her bid in of becoming the fattest woman in the world because it makes her feel “confident and sexy.” If Eman can reach her goal, she would beat Carol Yager, believed to have peaked at a whoping 1,156 pounds. She passed away in 1994 at the age of 34.

An example of a normal dinner for the single mom of two includes 12 tacos followed by 8 scoops of ice cream with brownies. Eman also adds that she spends around eight hours filling six carts with snacks on snacks on snacks during her monthly supermarket shop.

The Arizona native says she is preserving her sexy and health through exercise. “I go for a waddle and do stretches and exercises every day. My muscles need to hold my weight, so I have to stay strong. I take my blood pressure once a week, and I check signs like blood sugar levels. If any readings go above a certain level, I’ll contact my doctor. But I haven’t gone near the danger zones yet. I’d love to find out if it’s possible to reach a ton,” she explained.

She added: “The bigger I get, the better I feel. I feel more confident and sexy. Why shouldn’t I push the limits and see how fat I can get and stay healthy?”

Push it real good, Susanne. Just don’t expect the rest of us to set up a PayPal account for donations if things backfire.

A spread titled “Tons of Fun” featuring 11 plus size models (or thick snacks as Huny would say — rawr) shot by popular photographer Terry Richardson for Vice magazine is garnering both cheers and jeers from women of all sizes.

Stylite.com explains:

The images are shot against his standard white studio background with his standard blown out lighting. And while we are inclined to applaud Richardson for breaking out of what is presumably his comfort zone of all white, all skinny models, we’re torn on his intentions with this shoot. On paper it’s all there — racial diversity, check! size diversity, check! — but it’s almost as though Richardson is thumbing his nose at his critics, saying Look at this! Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted?

The models are shot in the same unflattering light he often uses for his straight-sized subjects and posed in the usual hyper-sexualized positions which, if they weren’t so obviously Richardson’s trademark, would make a great case for the argument that fashion photographers have a serious problem shooting plus size models in anything other than varying states of undress.

But what all of this comes down to is motivation, which is obviously impossible to discern from this side of Richardson’s lens. Is he celebrating these models? Or is he degrading them? And how much of it is in the eye of the beholder?

My two cents: As a card carrying member of Team Chunk the only thing I am offended by is the wolf pussy on this chick’s arm. As photographer Richardson is carrying out the vision that was presented by creative minds at the magazine, so I’m not really following why all of the fingers are pointing at him. At the end of the day Vice knew exactly what type of attention this spread would get. We’re talking about it, aren’t we?

I linked to a post about Norma’s gigantic chest cannons last month but I think we all would agree that her melons deserve more attention than that. Her cups runneth over!

Fresh,

Norma Stitz holds the Guiness record for, as she describes it, “The largest natural breasses in the world.” Her real name is Annie Hawkins-Turner but Norma Stitz is a play off of “enormous tits” because her breasts be layed like Meeka Claxton’s wonk eyes! Yes, God, Hontey! This Big-Titty-Bitty does fetish modeling with her 102 ZZZs as well as porn through her own production company. She says old men used to offer her sweets to flash them. From the looks of it she took up the offers. I only have one question. What do you supposed could be found underneath her fun(k) bags besides candy rappers and spare change?

The last time I heard this Dru Hill song I needed a hall pass to go to the bathroom. I’ve got nothing else to say about this video other than shouts out to Drea for sending in this lifetime supply of grape Robitussin.

Talk about an occupational hazard. A former manager of a McDonald’s franchise in Porto Allegre, Brazil, was awarded $17,500 as recompense for gaining 65 lbs. over 12 years on the job, the AP reports.

Judge Joao Filho ruled on the lawsuit brought against the company by the 32-year-old former employee on Oct. 26, declaring that McDonald’s should pay $17,500 because the employee ballooned from about 155 lbs. to 231 lbs. while working at the restaurant in southern Brazil.

The plaintiff said that because McDonald’s hired undercover customers to randomly visit restaurants and report back on quality, he felt forced to taste everything on the menu to ensure the food was up to par. He said he was also given free lunches of burgers, fries and ice cream, which contributed to his excessive weight gain during the course of employment. [Where do I sign up? - - Fresh]

The judge agreed, apparently, but said that McDonald’s could appeal the ruling. The company said it’s contemplating its options. (source)

In Mook we trust!

No, Rerun from What’s Happenin hasn’t risen from the grave and returned as a drag queen. If you’re living in the Chicagoland area, you’ve probably seen this ad. Believe it or not, Lady Rerun is the daughter of William “The Refrigerator” Perry (aka the Fridge) of the ‘86 Chicago Bears Super Bowl team! Guess they couldn’t get one of the Fridgettes (look it up, I dare you).

Ignore the bad MJ impersonator . . .
