Fabulous Weight Loss Awards

[Guest guest]

Fabulous Weight Loss Award

2005 was a year of famous losses. Kirstie Alley flaunted her 50-lbs.

slimmer frame in Craig ads, Star Reynolds is half the

size she used to be and Hollywood mom s proved babies

do a body good.

Kirstie Alley: Yes, we are all sick of those commercials featuring

Kirstie Alley overacting her way to the bank with her Craig

endorsement deal. But honestly, the formerly 'Fat Actress' looks

great. She's dropped 50-plus pounds and says, " I want to be healthy

and lean and have fun. " Alley's won our bid for an Incredible

Shrinking Star award this year.

Star Reynolds: She hasn't lost any of her luster, but Star

Reynolds looks like she has lost half of her body weight. The

motivation for the loss is clear: Her new husband. Star said of Al

Reynolds, " When he carries me over the threshold, I don't want him

to get a hernia! " For her empathy and her new figure, we award her

the Incredible Shrinking Star of 2005.

Oprah Winfrey: This one is a tough call. Oprah's put us through the

ringer over the years. Oprah's heavy. Oprah's skinny. Oprah's heavy

again. How can we trust her recent loss of weight -- and more so her

toned body -- is here to stay? Well, we can't. But for some reason

(maybe her new devotion to a Pilates routine), this time feels like

a winner.

The Celeb Moms: s, Heidi Klum and

have all made pregnant women everywhere want to throw their 'What to

Expect When You're Expecting' books at them. These celebrity moms

dropped their baby weight in record time. s posed

for 'Playboy' months after giving birth; Klum strutted down the

runway weeks after son Henry was born. These ladies have definitely

earned themselves an Incredible Shrinking Star award this year.
