KANYE WEST HAS A FASHION STRATEGY

You’ve probably seen photos from Kanye West’s 46th birthday party, where the problematic rapper appeared wearing exaggerated shoulder pads. Our source told us that this is less of a fashion statement and more of a way to distract from the weight he gained since splitting with Kim Kardashian. Although Kanye has always had a penchant for wearing black, these days the slenderizing color isn’t only the only staple his wardrobe. Kanye has recently had shoulder pads sewn on his clothes to appear broader at the shoulders and leaner at his waist. And that’s not ALL. Our source adds he’s started wearing Spanx for men, which is ironic since Kim fronts her own line called Skims.

NO MORE MEATBALLS FOR RON DESANTIS

We usually stick to Hollywood gossip, but this was just too newsworthy not to share. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is keeping America guessing with his “will he or won’t he?” run for President, but according to a well placed source, he WILL run. BUT he isn’t going to announce his candidacy until he loses more weight. Ron’s sensitive about being chubby and he knows his opponent Donald Trump has already nicknamed him Meatball Ron – most likely for being portly. (Trump could also be insulting Ron’s Italian lineage) My source says that Ron has combined a few diets, including intermittent fasting and low-carbohydrates, and has already lost one of his extra chins. He wants to lose about 20 more pounds before he declares he’s running for President!

DAYMOND JOHN: PROUD OF HIS SELF-DISCIPLINE

Uh-oh. Judging by the top hat, it looks like Shark Tank’s Daymond John has gone Hollywood! We suspect his wardrobe expansion is due to the fact that he’s succcessfully maintaining a 40 pound weight loss. He gave up alcohol, works out every day, and started averaging 25000 steps a day while working. And he wants you to NOTICE, so his clothing is considerably tighter – you cannot MISS those biceps. Another triumph for this entrepreneur…

KANYE WEST: PACKING ON THE POUNDS

Kayne West seems to be happy and considerably calmer since his “marriage” to architect Bianca Censori – and he has the pounds to show for it. Kayne’s manic episodes are more under control and one of the things Bianca gets credit for is keeping Kayne on a schedule, including his meals. His life with ex-wife Kim Kardashian was more hectic, but Bianca runs a tight ship (maybe it’s the architect in her) and Kayne has gained some weight since they’ve been together. A friend sums it up this way – Kayne is fat and happy, eating three regular meals a day, and getting 8 hours of sleep.

JESSICA SIMPSON IS READY FOR A SECOND TIME AROUND

Uh-oh. Jessica Simpson is going back to her roots. Jessica first found superstardom in 2003 when she and her then husband, Nick Lachey starred in Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, which was one of the first and most popular reality shows. Fast forward twenty years later – and now Jessica and her current husband Eric Johnson are plotting a RETURN to reality TV. It’s in the beginning planning stages, but the action will focus on their hectic home life with their children, as well as Jessica’s plan to restart her acting career. Jessica’s lost a LOT of weight getting ready for all this…

IS REBEL WILSON CELEBRATING TOO MUCH?

After a string of short-lived romances with men, Rebel Wilson seems to have found “the one” with her girlfriend, jewelry designer Ramona Agruma – and she has the extra pounds to show for it. The “unlucky in love” diet served Rebel well, but now that she’s more comfortable in her sexuality she relaxed a bit on her calorie counting. Rebel lost nearly 75 pounds prior to dating Ramona but now that she’s madly in love, as well as a new mom, she’s indulging in foods she previously steered clear of. A friend says that pasta and bread are Rebel’s weaknesses…

JESSICA SIMPSON’S MYSTERY DIET

Jessica Simpson has been bombarded with questions about her amazing weight loss- which we just noticed rather recently. Jessica says she lost 100 pounds in 2019 – after she finished having children. A HUNDRED pounds? Hard to believe. We recall a voluptuous Jessica, but not one THAT heavy. She vaguely claims she did it with advice from a nutritionist and more workouts with her trainer. Hmmm… We have a powerful feeling there is MORE to this story than meets the eye. Jessica’s got a secret she doesn’t want to share. In this photo she is thinner than we have ever seen her before. She and her lookalike daughter Maxwell were photographed at Maxwell’s basketball game.

MORE OF DIDDY TO LOVE

While we’re on the touchy subject of weight, Diddy comes to mind. Mediatakeout is teasing the billionaire hip hop mogul for living it up to the max this summer on his $100 million dollar yacht sailing the Mediterranean. The yacht is loaded with liquor and a large kitchen staff onboard is ready to prepare whatever indulgences that would please Diddy and his friends. Apparently Diddy has gone overboard when it comes to cuisine, and packed on around 60 pounds. They gleefully CLAIM he is now pushing 300 pounds (!) and posted this photo (above) to illustrate. This week he jumped onstage in Jacksonville, Florida where his current girlfriend, singer Yung Miami, was performing.

MICHAEL B JORDAN WAS LORI HARVEY’S INSPIRATION

Since Lori Harvey started dating Michael B Jordan over a year ago, we’ve seen numerous photos of her going to and from the gym. Sometimes Lori and Michael worked out together – when their busy schedules permitted. Michael was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2021, so we’re guessing she was determined to be in top shape like he always is. She reached her weight and fitness goal and what better way to show it off than at the Met Gala! Lori found a Michael Kors dress that conveniently displays her abs – and they are just as amazing as her boyfriend’s…

ROB KARDASHIAN HASN’T TAKEN THAT BASEBALL CAP OFF SINCE 2013

Strange but true. Try to find a photo of Rob Kardashian without the cap for the past nine years. It’s sad, but this Kardashian guy has been “hiding out” since then. Back in 2012 he had a short but memorable romance with Rita Ora and she broke his heart. That’s when he started eating too much. In 2016, he started dating Blac Chyna- at one point she claimed Rob spend $100,000 on weight loss surgery that seemed to be working, but then didn’t. Meanwhile the hat never came off- apparently his hair was thinning. He might be getting hair transplants of some kind, but he just NEVER removes the cap. Maybe that’s why he hasn’t shown up in court this week…he would be asked to remove it.
