• 152. The one consistent feature here is that their smile is bigger and more genuine now that they've stopped worrying about what sh*t-azz sites like TMZ.com think, and they've started enjoying life! Good for them! You think that everyone is going to stay young and beautiful forever?!? What are you, five? Now I shall use itty-bitty words to explain it to your five-year-old dumb-AZZ: We age. When we age, our body changes, and so does our metabolism. No one stays young and rail-thin forever. And, thank GOD, no one stays young, rail-thin, and MISERABLE forever, either! Critical people SUCK.

• 153. The comments you have made about these people, regardless of "who" they are, are degrading and disgusting. I would be ashamed to publish my name as the author of this article. No wonder there are so many bullies and so much name calling in our schools. You and people like you are to blame! You need to get a life and start helping people instead of bringing them down! I'm glad I choose not to be around people like you. I feel sorry for you.

• 154. I'm just glad that they slammed the men and not just the women which seems to be the case a lot of the time.

• 155. I hate that AOL takes me to this crap site. I'm always looking at something that ridiculous. I can't believe they put this as headlining news. So, people put on weight as they get older. Big deal. It's called being HUMAN. it's called LIFE. And the fact that you used Raven as an example, and showed a pic of her at like 7 yrs old to compare to what she looks like now, is just desperate. Who the hell looks the same way they did when they were 7? And who weigh the same? And picking on Brando? Just as ridiculous. The only great thing about that is he will be remembered 50 years from now, while you guys at TMZ will be totally forgotten about. Actually, you'll probably be forgotten about by next year.

• 156. Raven is one of those few people that loves to be in her own skin and it shows in all her photos..Janet didn't look so bad either, she had a little fluff in the 80's and was a hot as hell back then..they just workin' what they mama gave 'em!!

• 157. People need to stop complaining. You were obviously interested if you took the time to look. Fat people are fat. Oh well!

• 158. The people shown in these photos are human, unlike the cretin drones at TMZ.

• 159. I guess noone took in mind that some of these photos are younger before and older afters. A lot of people round out the more they mature and may put on 10-20 lbs. They are supposed to gain some weight. I don't think there are a lot of people who weigh the same as they did 15-20 years ago or even weigh the same as they did at age 18. Come on be real. If they did weigh the same then there's a chance of liposuction, gastric bypass, lemon detox, anorexia, bulimic, or any other fade. TMZ you can do better then this I hope!!!!

• 160. Okay, did it ever occur to you that most of these famous people aren't even over weight?...Raven for example is not fat, the media today gives us images of these stick figured models and pretty much tells everyone "This is the way you need to look". Which in my opinion isn't a very healthy size. Marlyn Monroe had a hourglass shape, and she was neither to skinny, or over weight and every guy wanted her just the way she was. It's rediculous how you put images in our minds that we need to be twig skinny. Girls at my school are always saying "I'm to fat". They don't even need to lose weight... and everyone wonders what is wrong with anorexic people... you people disgust me!

• 162. Aretha Franklin is so beautiful, how dare you insult this queen! TMZ must stand for The Most Zany. You people have no class. I'd love to get some before and after pictures of your staff. So watch out; someone may just be flashing your fat right now. People in high places have a lot of clout so see if you're laughin' when your thunder thighs show up in 'SMILE TMZ' the camera's turned. Actually all these people are above those games; that's why they are who they are, and you've lower yourselves to slug slim. I like the comment about Karma catching up with you too. I know it will too! MCC

• 163. Okay they need to lay off of Brando. Geez it is tasteless to diss a great actor whom has been dead for more than 3 years. Besides these people could careless what the media or anybody else thinks in regards to their looks or weight. After all, not everyone likes to spend 24 hours in the gym nor have their face poked with a needle for a flippin' Botox injection. Celebs may not live a normal life like all of us, but they like to look as normal as possible without having to clog their skin with 10 pounds of makeup nor look anorexic just to please the world.Sorry if I *iss off people here, but these people have a right to look normal like the rest of us even if they do not have a normal lifestyle or job.

• 164. Give it a rest people,geez. All of you people bitching came and looked at all of these pictures. If the headline offended you so much then you should have skipped right over it. These people are in the public eye and as long as I can remember(45 yrs old) articles like this have been on the covers of magazines and such. Nobody said these people weren`t nice or good people, they just gained weight, so what. I myself think that Raven is quite overweight and she is still very young. I would guess by the time she is 30 or so she will be way overweight, again so what. Of course as we get older we are going to gain weight. You would think that some of these people would do something about it since their fame relied so much on their good looks. If I was rich and in that business I would have a personal trainer and try to stay in the best shape possible. Especially if getting more roles depended on it. Just the way it is and always has been. Have a great summer all.

• 165. I,too am sick to death of all these tabloids, including People magazine, being so totally focused on bodies. It is the exception rather than the rule that someone will weigh the same their entire lives. Even if they do, they will carry it differently. I'm with all the people who want to see the TMZ staff in bikinis posting their pics so we can pick them apart.
