'Rita Rocks' comedienne Nicole Sullivan has reached her weight loss goal of 35lbs on Jenny Craig - just one month before her 40th birthday! In a People exclusive, she says:

“I am beyond thrilled with my success on the Jenny Craig program,” the mom-of-two said.

“After having Beckett, I dreamed of a day where I’d feel comfortable enough in a swimsuit, let alone a bikini, to join my husband on pool-side play dates. Getting into a bikini again and feeling as good as I feel now.”

“[Now] my two children will always see Mommy as healthy! And my husband Jason can’t be more thrilled; he’s lost 25 pounds of ‘sympathy weight’ to boot.”

And like anyone who loses weight, a smaller size means smaller clothes:

“I went in and bought a pair of size 4 pants and I don’t ever remember doing that — maybe when I was 21 [years-old]. I feel like the world has opened up to me. Does a lot of it have to do with fun clothes? Yeah, but you know what? Women love fun clothes. It’s a big deal to us. I feel like I can wear anything in my closet. And I can buy stuff that’s really cute.”

Actress Kirstie Alley has blasted reports suggesting her new diet program me is a Church of Scientology initiative, insisting only 10 per cent of the project's bosses are Scientologists.

Alley, who is a Scientologist, had to defend her Organic Liason line during an interview on national TV in America on Tuesday (3/16) - and now she's speaking out to clear up rumours the weight loss programme is a front for the Church. The former 'Cheers' star, who constantly struggles with her weight, has admitted 'The Today Show' line of questioning took her by surprise and now adds,

"That I would need to clarify or defend the intentions or affiliations of my LLC business corporation in the year 2010 is indicative of the intolerances that we as a country still need to overcome.

"However, after The Today Show brought fringe bigotry and intolerance into the forefront of national media, I feel compelled to clarify two issues.

"There was a claim made that my product is a front for Scientology. This is not true. Organic Liason is its own LLC and is not affiliated with the Church of Scientology or the World Institute of Scientology. The proof is in the numbers.

Gabourey Sidibe's mother has told Howard Stern to "get a life" after the shock jock made a series of unflattering comments about the plus-size actress' weight.

Stern caused controversy last week (beg08Mar10) after criticising the Precious star on his Sirius radio show, urging the 26 year old to seek help because "obesity" is a life-threatening condition. He also claimed she will find it difficult to land any more roles in Hollywood because of her portly frame - and Sidibe's mom, Alice Tan Ridley, is fuming over the DJ's unkind comments. She tells U.S. TV show Inside Edition,

"Get a life. He can see, you can see, I can see Gabby is a big girl. She's a big woman, so what's wrong with that? She's not like everyone else in the world. I don't see him giving jobs out to anybody, so why should we care what he says? He might not hire her, but someone else will!"

Whoopi Goldberg has also blasted Stern for taking aim at the Oscar-nominated star - insisting Sidibe's size shouldn't overshadow her acting skills. She told viewers of U.S. TV show 'The View',

"Before you just dismiss her because of her size, take a look at her talent. She's a wonderful actres s and that's all y'all need to know!"

Actor Mark Wahlberg snacked on some chips and water as he headed into his trailer while filming the movie The Fighter on Monday (3/15). 

Looks like the actor put on some weight for his fighting role, but he still looks good!  Marky, Mark, Mark!

In this month's Vogue issue, Dutch model Kim Noorda lets readers into the mind of a model who battles an eating disorder by publishing extracts from journals she's kept.   

The writer of the article Sally Singer introduces us to the Noorda, who learned how to eat "a little less" while modeling clothes for some of the top designers in the industry.  The pieces of her journal are raw, real and sad.  Here is a snippet of a few entries:

Yesterday I went to see my doctor for medical clearance. I told him that I did not have an eating disorder, but that I also believe that I do not take care of myself well enough and that I will learn something through the treatment. I am actually afraid of telling people that I am about to do this. I do not want people to see me as someone with an eating disorder. I want them to see the underlying reasons why I do not take good enough care of myself. The tests proved that not a lot of things are wrong with me: completely healthy, only my BMI is too low. . . .
