Weighty Matters Before Emmy Weekend

Stars go into Emmy weekend a little wobbly

There are those who hang fairly tight with Hilary Swank, the ultra-thin-waisted, double Oscar winner, who are wondering why her manager was quite so eager to tell the world she'd entered the hospital for the removal of a benign growth.

Was he eager—these folks are asking me—to cut off nastyass goss of another type, just like David Duchovny and Cindy McCain are wont to do when they know the chitchat wolves are gathering? "Well, whatever the reason she went. Let's hope it truly wasn't serious and that she ate something while she was there," sassed a chum who hangs with Ms. S more often than not. "Even if it was fed intravenously." Ouch! And who says good buds in T-town are hard to find?

Dealing with figure probs of a diff sort, entirely, were Emmy hons Kate Walsh and Michelle Trachtenberg, who just hit up the poshass Kate Somerville spa in West Hollywood.

Both gals went in for fat-sucking body wraps. "It completely sheds inches off your waist" said a babe who knows her way around the higher-priced ways of weight loss that don't include throwing up your Ivy chopped salad. Thank heavens Kate 'n' Michelle aren't like all those other skela-chuckers in town. Chic sweat beats death by starvation any day, I say. If only the rest o' the babes around here would listen, eh?
