Fat After Fame

Reader Comments

• 181. You people make me sick. No wonder so many adolescent girls lack self esteem and confidence. No wonder women starve themself. I'd personally love to sit on all of you with my size 10 ass. I'm sure you'd right an article about how fat it is.

• 183. this is just low, celebrities are normal people like you. You shouldn't go out there and judge people like this because some of them AREN'T EVEN FAT. Raven Symone? im not a big fan but i know enough to tell the editors at TMZ she's not fat. Go find another story that people will actually enjoy to see.

• 184. Wow. Raven-symone isn't even fat. She just isn't an anorexic twig. Shame on you tmz. Wonder how fat the people who gathered these pics are. Let's see how perfect your bodies are.

• 185. Wow - I'm impressed that so many people have reacted negatively to this. I was expecting more people to add gasoline to the fire by making nasty, fat-hating comments of their own, but I see that there are some level-headed, kind folks out there. Way to go!! :)

• 186. Celebrities are not immune to getting older. There are many factors to why people gain weight, and it's NOT always about food. As we get older, internal workings become imbalanced, and that can create a cascade of health problems, like Syndrome X, autoimmune, etc. And why is the concentration on the sizes of their bodies? Here these people have given years of hard work and dedication to share their many talents, and now as they've gotten older, instead of appreciation for all they did (and may still do), they are hounded and the most unflattering photos are the ones presented for all the world to see. Why? Is it really true that people thrive on the negative aspects of others, or is it the slant that the media forces us to see? I'm certain that each of these people are still the same good people that they were when they were younger and slimmer, so why the cruelty now? Show them some respect, and allow them to keep their dignity intact!

• 187. Ok so these people put on some weight, thats what happens when you get older. It happens to everyone...and as for Raven, she didnt get fat, she just grew up. She is just a normal girl, sorry she is healthy and ya know....eats food. Ohhh yeah and as for Vince, he is still soooo hot, he can put on as many pounds as he wants, thats just more for me to love baby!

• 189. I AM REALLY TIRED OF TMZ NASTY COMMENTS ON THE WEIGHT GAIN PICTURES--MOST OF THESE STARS ARE NOT THAT HEAVY IN NORMAL TERMS--JUST BECAUSE HOLLYWOOD AND THE MODELING INDUSTRY PROMOTES ANOREXIA DOES NOT MEAN THAT WEIGHT IS SOMETHING TO BE RIDICULED! GET OVER YOURSELVES!

• 191. I think Vince Vaughn looks better with a little bit more weight on his frame. I don't think he is fat at all! Some of the before pictures they show are from late teens/ early twenties. I would like to see any of the TMZ staff pictures from high school and compare them with how they look now and see which one of them hasn't gained any weight! I think Raven looks great. She is a much more realistic celeb and can show girls that they can be beautiful whatever size they are.

• 192. I feel bad about Aretha's weight, only because at that weight she is subject to health issues, such as diabetes or heart issues. Most of the others do not appear extraordinarily unhealthy.

• 193. Give people a break.....so what people gained weight.....everyone does it. and i think in some cases heavier people look better then skin and bones

• 194. Oh yeah, and by the way, TMZ... your shallow. Just because Harvey looks like Jack LaLaine, is no excuse! lol! Everytime I see Harvey on TV, I think of Jack.

• 195. I think they all still look great. Aretha has gained a lot of weight, but I don't care. She is the beautiful, soulful woman I have always loved, I still cherish her and her music today. I'm 50 now, and I'll have you know, Aretha's music has inspired me in the most difficult times in my life. In order: Hymnns, Gospel, Aretha and Ray Charles, and --oh yeah-- let's not forget B.B. King... "The Thrill Is Gone." lol! Ohhhhkay, and I'll throw in a little Stevie Ray Vaughn too!
