Strange news of the day

SlySurfer:
Many actors in Hollywood also add extra pounds just to get a role in a movie. The most recent being Ryan Gosling. In his case the gain backfired. Gosling was preparing for a movie role that required him to be a middle-aged dad. After growing out his hair, and adding over 40 pounds to his normally lanky frame, he was axed by director, Peter Jackson for appearing too average.

Ouch!!

Renee Zelweger (sp?) gained a lot of weight for the Bridget Jones movie and I believe she had much harder time losing it than she'd expected. 

This trainer will probably shed the pounds faster than the average person can, but I think it's a really stupid thing to do.

He may want to relate to his clients, but he's probably going to kill his business.  :/O

He did say he's getting some odd looks in the gym when he's telling his clients to do pushups, squats, etc.

At my gym, a while back, they hired a trainer who was considerably overweight.  He didn't last very long.  I don't think many people would sign up for his services.  And why would they?  "Physician, heal thyself" was my first thought when I saw him.
