On Monday gossip extraordinaire Page Six published a post implying that Nicole Richie had undergone the famed gastric bypass surgery. 

Here’s what Page Six published:

“WHICH young Hollywood starlet had secret gastric bypass surgery, but then lost too much weight? During a recent four-day stint at a health clinic, she was actually having an operation to remove the bypass.”

On Tuesday, 25-year-old Nicole Richie posted a response to this health claim on her MySpace page saying,

“So i gain a little bit of weight, and im acussed of having a gastric bypass surgery reversed? Its pathetic of Page Six to insinuate i have done this. Anyone that knows anything about this surgery would know that legally, you must be AT LEAST 100 pounds overweight to even have the surgery done, and is a serious, life changing procedure; not one to throw around as a joke or a rumor. Ive statement I am in the process of putting on weight, and that should be enough. Its a shame to hear that instead of hearing supportive words, someone needs to spin it into some negative, absurd way.”

I’m with Nicole on that, who would even think that she would have had gastric bypass surgery (me)?  One thing is for sure, Nicole needs to go back to the drawing board with her spelling & grammar.

What do you think, would Nicole ever go that route?

A year after 55-year-old Kirstie Alley made a pledge that she would come to the Oprah Winfrey show wearing nothing but a bikini, the deed has finally been done.

On Monday Alley showed up in a red bikini and received a standing ovation, see video here– it’s actually pretty spectacular.  Remember how Kirstie looked a year ago?!

The first time Alley ever opened up about her weight struggle to the public was on Oprah back in 2004 when she weighed over 200 pounds.  Following the show, the actress quit smoking & vowed to change her life & her body.

When Kirstie bared her new bod for Oprah, the talk show host stated, “You look beautiful.”
 
Alley responded later in the show, saying, “I don’t think women ever feel like we’re good enough.  We don’t feel like we’re thin enough or pretty enough or smart enough or work hard enough … We all are good enough and we look good enough and we are not our bodies, you know?”
 
Alley has been keeping track of her weight loss on her Jenny Craig blog. In October, Kirsite posted:
 
“The most important reason I want to wear a bikini on Oprah…is because if I, a 55 year old woman can look even half way decent, imagine how all of you could look in a bikini. Then all of us can breathe a little easier. Hell, I’ll never look like Giselle, I never did! But maybe close to Bridget Jones or a Dove girl or something that is just fine and healthy and happy with no surgery, no lypo and no drugs-that’s saying something!”

Well, I have to say, I’m impressed, Kirstie.  Looking good!
