Ask A Question
How Could Celebrities Ever, Ever Get Fat?

How does celebs' weight get so out of control? Rich people like Oprah have more than enough money to hire personal chefs and trainers. What's their problem?
—Lemon
The "problem" is that even the great fitness guru Bob Greene cannot stop The Oprah from crawling off into some corner of her cream-and-gold Chicago pied-à-terre and scarfing down a crate of Funyuns. The trainer and chef don't follow a star around a talk show set or soundstage.
No matter how many flunkies they have, there's always that moment when the star must face down the craft services table, and the fried delicacies therein.
Greene himself explained Oprah's weight struggle...
"She'll be the first to tell you that if she's stressed, if she's bored, if something is bothering her...food is a coping mechanism," he told Larry King in January. "And it was that way since childhood. And that's a very difficult thing to break."
Are there any children of celebrities that have "normal" jobs, i.e. teachers, social workers, etc.?

Harrison Ford's son Ben is a chef. Another son, Willard, is a teacher turned furniture entrepreneur. Goldie Hawn's son (and Kate Hudson's half-brother) Wyatt Russell is an athlete who has said he wants nothing to do with acting.

Didn't know the Brits had their own frakkin' version of Law & Order? Well, they do. And Jamie "Apollo" Bamber is all up in it, free to unleash his British accent at last.
Pleasure Cylon Tricia Helfer is voicing a part for a Green Lantern DVD. Aaron Douglas, whose character, Chief Tyrol, was once dubbed by Gawker as "Fatty Q. Workingstiff," reportedly has a cop show called The Bridge coming to CBS. Meanwhile, he's also slated to play a butcher who hunts vampires in the film Blood: A Butcher's Tale.
Because if there's one thing we don't get enough of these days, it's vampires.
