WILL QUEEN OF MEAN LISA LAMPANELLI LOSE HER EDGE ALONG WITH HER WEIGHT?

It will be interesting to see if her weight loss changes Lisa Lampanelli’s attitude. Lisa and her husband Jimmy have both had gastric sleeve surgery and as a result, she’s lost 60 lbs. When she was on Celebrity Apprentice, Lisa was an angry overweight comic – she gobbled fast food and was critical to the point of cruelty to her slim and pretty competitors. As smart as Lisa is, she must have seen her negativity on the show turned off a lot of viewers and did little to enhance her popularity. Now that she’s losing weight she not only LOOKS better, she seems happier and less combative, but still funny. Feeling better about herself makes a difference. Good for her!

ARETHA FRANKLIN’S HEALTH IS STILL A MYSTERY- AND SHE’S NOT TALKING

Secretive celebrity Aretha Franklin admits she’s gained 40 pounds in the past few months but her health is still a giant mystery. Nearly two years ago she had surgery and would never reveal what it was for. (We speculated gastric bypass.) At the time, relatives of her whispered that she had pancreatic cancer. Aretha denied that she had cancer, but STILL would not talk about her surgery. During the months that followed she cancelled concerts and lost at least 85 pounds. We feared the worst. But suddenly she seemed to snap out of her health problems and got back to work, looking healthier than ever. Now people are saying that she may NOT have had cancer, but actually had complications from her gastric surgery from which she has recovered. But she seems to be stretching her stomach again because she has packed on 40 of the pounds she lost. If Aretha DID have nothing worse than gastric surgery, we wish she would admit it so her fans can stop worrying about her. And she might get more job offers too!

SLIMMER ARETHA FRANKLIN STILL WON’T DISCUSS HER SURGERY

Aretha Franklin’s taped message on the Grammys revealed that she has lost a considerable amount of weight. She still refuses to discuss her hospitalization and surgery a few months ago, so speculation never stops. At first it was assumed she had lap-band surgery to lose weight, but the rumor that she had surgery for pancreatic cancer began to circulate. Either would cause weight loss. Aretha is strangely reluctant to reveal her health issue but she did say “Doctors believe my surgery will add 15 to 20 years to my life.” We hope so.

ARETHA FRANKLIN’S MYSTERY SURGERY HAS FANS WORRIED SICK

Everybody’s worried about Aretha Franklin’s upcoming surgery because she won’t reveal what it’s all about. That gets imaginations working overtime. She’s cancelled all concerts and cleared her schedule until May. Concerned fans held a prayer vigil for her in Detroit. Hopefully, it’s not as serious as her fans fear, and Aretha is having lap-band surgery or something like it, that would improve her weight and health. We’d like to keep her around as long as possible.

Regarding his necessary hip replacement, Prince been needing the surgery for several years and he’s been living with the pain as long as he can. The only reason he’s getting the surgery is so he can wear high heels comfortably without limping. Since he started performing, the 49 year old singer has been having high heel boots and shoes custom made to match every pair of pants or suit. As you can see by this fashion show photo, he’s sporting the highest heels in the front row. Also, one of his exgirlfriends told us he even has high heel custom BEDROOM SLIPPERS and wears them to bed! Still, the five foot three inch (so he SAYS) singer insists he doesn’t wear the high heels to be taller – he says he wears them because the girls LOVE them!
