Some of these people are great artists and have already demonstrated their intrinsic worth to the world. The nasty, really stupid, slant of this story is nauseating. If Aretha wants to put on some pounds then you twits should back off.
I do think life might be a little more comfortable for her if she shed a few pounds. But to come at it from an accusatory point of view is disgraceful and merely shows how trivial the writers and editors are.
This is garbage lets SEE some real stories IN THE HEADLINES ABOUT some real issues...like people trying to help other people.or issues like DARFUR or issues or the real issues in the election like kyoto act, not this Garbage.
hey girl friend you got to loose weight, if you want to live" how is your blood pressure? please Aretha, you are one of the best, please take care of your self. i love your music. you are atreasure"""" peace love harmony::
Everyone is older. It's called gravity. From the pictures, everyone looks happy with themselves. What's the BIG deal? I'm 52, a few pounds overweight, but hey, I'm not into the skinny look anyway. I'm very happy with the way I look for my age.
These people are human--not demigods. This piece was just a petty filler written by uninspired jerks. Some of it was not even reasonable. Whoever wrote this should compare a picture of themself as a little kid to a picture of themself as an adult, then beat themselves up for not maintaining that childish figure. Some people are not naturally thin. But that does not prove that the 'let themselves go' or make them ugly. If any of these people were thin like this piece implies that they should be due to their celebrity status, then the tabloids would be screaming that they have eating disorders. Which, by the way, articles like this are ingraining into our culture. If the media would learn to accentuate the positive, and stop obsessing about thinness, generation X would have a much healthier attitude. TABLOIDS ARE WRITTEN BY THE INSECURE FORMER HIGHSCHOOL POPULARITY CROWD FEEDING ON THE TINY IMPERFECTIONS OF THE MORE SUCCESSFUL 'LOSERS'.
Wow this is horrible. You guys make fun of these people for doing drugs and alcohol and being 'scary thin'. Wanna know why they do those things? This! Personally, I think Aretha Franklin looks beautiful. Who even regard their size? Gosh you people are rude and careless. Celebrities are people too you guys, they have feelings. Why dont you leave them alone for a while and go chase around Obama and Hillary? People who could actually use the publicity.
come on this is soooooooooo not true i mean rly these peeps r fine and it rly dsnt matter wats on the outside it does matter wats on the inside like raven she a doll.
......and then we wonder why there are anorexic starlets... give it a rest Tmz - your mean spirited attacks are completely disconnected with real people living real lives. Oh, what you didnt know these stars were Human?
Yeah I think this article was written by a bunch of shallow, tiny 22-yr-olds...of course people gain weight as they get older, it's often just the aging metabolism, not any bad habits. Do some research. And some of these photos arent even of overweight people, just used-to-be-quite-skinny and now are medium sized.
And it's REALLY not fair to malign Kirstie Alley because she was overweight for a few years but she isn't now.

GIVE ME A BREAK!! All these actors are still hot. John Travolta can do no wrong. Who ever wrote this artical has a lot to learn about life. How shallow a person you are. I feel sorry for you. Because one day You too will be older. And Gods revenge will probably make you hideous to look at. I bet you were the one who thought they were the bomb in school. Guess what! Schools out. Grow up!
This feature is snotty and mean-spirited. I agree with the person who said it's not fair to compare pics from now to those from 20 yrs ago.
And Janet Jackson & Ravemn Symone aren't fat in those "after" pics, they're normal and healthy and adorable!
OMG!
WTF!
Are you serious,
alot of those star arn't fat, they are just older and Raven Symone SO isn't fat if you ask me i think she looks fit---big diff-ever think people are big boned? no of corse not because you writer and photographer are shallow and come up with a quick story rather then going fully through the details.
so what its no big deal we all go through changes one way or another!

That picture of Corey Haim now is hilarious, and it's nothing to do with his weight. Grow up, boy!

Are you people nuts? Janet Jackson is gorgeous, WITH curves. I don't WANT women who are shaped like 13-yr-olds. Curvy girls are awesome!
