Celebrities

Brandy: “People love to talk about Janet Jackson’s body. Her yo-yoing weight. Her ever expanding and contracting body parts. She always loses weight before she does publicity for one of her albums. She can get a tiny waist going. But she’s got other body parts that don’t shrink down and cannot be reined in. Some of the best-selling magazine covers are about weight issues. How did someone lose weight. Is Jennifer Love Hewitt in her bikini in Hawaii overweight?”

Regis: “There is a lot of respect for Janet Jackson. It’s true that she loses weight and gains weight very fast, but more the interest comes from the fact that she comes from this famous musical family, and she turned out to be very talented, and not so crazy like her brother.”

Brandy: “We had a few frames here of Tom Cruise in a semi-intimate-looking moment with a woman who is not his wife. These are old-school paparazzi shots where they didn’t see the photographer and there isn’t a mob of paparazzi around them. We don’t know who the woman is. I don't think she is an executive of a studio. The bushes add to it looking like the scene is meant to be hidden She’s being too physical with him. At the same time, Tom is talking on the phone, so he wasn’t really too focused on her. The first story the viewer gets is that he might be cheating on Katie Holmes, and then people think about it for a second, and think, also, maybe he isn’t gay.”

Regis: “His image now is that he is in a perfect relationship, a fairy tale, so is he flirting? Is his relationship with Katie as perfect as what they try to portray in the press? What is really going on? Right now, we know that they are living inside the Scientology Center. They sleep and eat there, and educate their child there. They have no more house. Which is strange, yes?”

Brandy: “Lindsay Lohan didn’t do anything this week except dress extremely ugly. I guess that’s the story: Lindsay looks bad now that she is sober and chastened.”

Regis: “I saw the New York Magazine photos that she did where she dressed like Marilyn Monroe. She’s trying to get back into the headlines and she knows unless she does something a little bit bad the press will lose interest in her. She has been copying Marilyn Monroe for a long time. We have seen her dressing like Marilyn, in a Marilyn haircut, sending kisses.

Here's a shock. Celebrities don't always look like they do in those publicity photos and magazine spreads. Here are a few images that should make every woman feel a lot better about themselves.
