In recent times, two celebs who have been making the news quite often concerning their weight are Jennifer Hudson and Jessica Simpson. American idol winner, Jennifer Hudson’s dramatic weight loss under the Weight Watchers’ banner has stirred quite a lot of debate. When she started losing the weight just about everyone was thrilled with her shrinking frame. Recent pictures however have some saying she may be overdoing it. In fact, some nutritionist thinks she needs to stop before she does herself harm.
Singer and sometimes actress, Jessica Simpson was first making the headlines because of her increasing size. Then it was for her back and forth weight loss and weight gain as she tried to deal with the constant scrutiny.

Rapper 50 cent, real name, Curtis James Jackson III and Christian bale have come under the microscope as well. Curtis “50 cent’ Jackson’s weight loss for a movie role had fans worried that he was ill. Bale’s drastic weight loss for his role in the movie The Machinist shocked many observers.
