The season premiere of the hit NBC reality weight loss show “The Biggest Loser Couples” will air on January 5. Trainer Jillian Michaels has been making the rounds on the talk shows and has expressed some fear for the growing number of morbidly obese contestants who will appear on the show. Jillian believes that some contestants may be too big to safely undertake some of the strenuous challenges. Season 9 will feature four contestants who are over 400 pounds and one man breaks the record at 526 pounds. Michaels and fellow trainer Bob Harper are concerned that these contestants may not be able to handle the rigors of the show, especially in the first few weeks. She said, “The contestants keep getting bigger and bigger. As the trainers, we have no say over the challenges. We worry about them, too.”
Last season two people were taken to the hospital after they suffered heat exhaustion following a one-mile run on their first day. Another contestant from an earlier season suffered a stress fracture after running a half marathon and left the show because she couldn’t continue to train.
Michaels experienced a blow to her ego when she was accused of giving some of the contestants drugs to help with their weight loss. The show investigated the allegations and found them to be totally baseless.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt took four of their six-pack of children to see the Broadway production of “Mary Poppins” over the weekend. The family has been staying in New York City while Jolie finishes filming her spy thriller “Salt”.
Taking in the stage musical were Maddox, 8, Zahara, 4, Pax, 6, and Shiloh 3. Remaining at home, presumably in the care of nannies were 18-month-old twins Vivienne and Knox.
Last weekend Brad and his look-alike brother Doug took the kids to Dave & Busters in Manhattan
A duet between Michael Jackson and Lenny Kravitz was in the works before the ‘King of Pop’ passed away and now the unreleased song called “Another Day” has made it to YouTube. According to TMZ, the verse Jackson sings seems to be from an older Kravitz song called “Storm”. Lenny did tell Spinner magazine about working with MJ, saying that it was “the most amazing experience I’ve ever had in the studio.”
Actress Jennifer Aniston may be joining the ranks of celebrities who have lent their name to the food and beverage industry. In 2010 Jen is rumored to be opening an upmarket Mexican restaurant in New York.
Britain’s Daily Mirror is saying that they spoke with Aniston who said, “If all goes well, I hope to open a Mexican restaurant in New York City in 2010. I love Mexican food. I’ll mingle with customers and be a guest waitress.”
Now that sounds like a great time…going out for an enchilada and having Jennifer be your waitress! It does seem like a no-brainer for her – we’re guessing the reservation book will be full.
