See what happens when you stop eating 45-pound hamburgers? Adam Richman From Man Vs. Food Fame Loses 70 Pounds, Poses Nude Looks like cutting out competitive eating can really do good for your waistline ! If you’ll recall Adam Richman from The Travel Channel show, Man vs. Food, he spent years eating over-sized pizzas, toddler-weight hamburgers, and wings so hot you had to sign a waiver before consuming. After quitting the show he has lost over 70 pounds. Via Mailonline : Former Man V. Food host Adam Richman is celebrating is 70lb weight loss with a naked spread in Cosmopolitan UK’s July issue. Mr. Richman managed to shave the 70lbs from his body in a mere 10 months. He told the magazine: ‘To go from hating the way I looked to being a Cosmo centerfold is a profound honor’ When his show, which gave viewers an inside look at the competitive eating industry, ended in 2012 following a four-year run, Mr Richman was left with a 40-inch waistline and what he described to People magazine in September as a ‘doughy face.’ Mr. Richman was motivated to change his lifestyle, which on shoots involved eating 190lb hamburgers and two-gallon sundaes, due to concerns over his health as well as a nonexistent sex life. He retired from the popular show in order to focus on eating better and exercising. He cut out white flour and dairy from his diet and stocked his kitchen cupboards with healthy snacks. ‘I love peanut butter and ice cream but I can’t keep them in my house,’ he explained. Throughout the day he eats small 150-calorie meals every two hours and some of his favorite go-to diet foods include almonds, Greek yogurt, salmon and meal replacement bars. Mr. Richman told People in September that the tipping point came when he caught sight of himself in the mirror one day and his body appeared to be ‘the size of a Smart car’. Man Vs. Food….man wins!

The 2014 CMT Music Awards were held last night and Kelly Pickler decided to bring her two big talents with her. If there was an award for “Best Country Funbags” Kellie would definitely win. No contest.
As you guys know, I love Abigail Clancy . Here she is once again at the beach in a sexy black swimsuit. I dig it, but I’m concerned about Abbey’s tan-lines. Even though that swimsuit is top notch, I have a feeling that when she looks at her perfect naked little body in the mirror today, she will not like what she sees. What am I saying? Abbey could have purple, pink and green dots all over her body and still be hot.
Here’s Ashley Tisdale celebrating her bachelorette weekend with Vanessa Hudgens and friends on a yacht in Miami. I had no clue she was getting married, but judging by how soft her body is looking, you can tell she’s deeply in love. Vanessa, on the other hand isn’t. Wow, that bod is damn tight! Let’s hope she stays single for years to come.

Dear Bossip, I’m a faithful reader/blogger, and I really need some advice, like ASAP! Okay, well here it goes. I am a 32-year old female who is currently engaged to my boyfriend of 8 years, in which we’ve been off and on. I say off and on because throughout the years we’ve had our differences and so we would agree to part ways. Well, let’s just say the time we spent “parting ways” were well spent on my part. I had a child from a different guy. I also met different guys and I ended up with someone that I REALLY love. Two years after I had my daughter, however, he was very toxic for me. He is now locked up, which is very good for me because that was the only thing that could of kept me away from him. So, during that time my ex of 6 years talked about starting over and becoming a family. And, of course during that time my daughter was now 5 years old and I needed stability for the both of us. So, I thought about it and said okay. But, now that we are together all of the reasons we had broken up in the past are now in my head reminding me that I fell out of love with this guy and my heart belongs to someone else that isn’t good for me. We argue over the smallest things. I’m not physically attracted to him anymore. And, when we make love at times it feels so forced. I do love him, but I just don’t think I’m IN love. We have been back together now for 1 year and throughout that year I have found out that he has a child in the midst of getting back with me. And, I caught him on several different occasions lying about other women that he’s been texting. I forgave him, only because I know that I have been thinking about my ex, who is locked up, and also at the same time taking his (jail) calls while with my current boyfriend, (I stopped that though). So, now I took this ring and I feel so foolish because I feel I’m forcing myself to be with him. I keep telling myself that the love will grow eventually, but I don’t know anymore if I believe that! Please help. – In Love With Another Man Dear Ms. In Love With Another Man , Y’all with these “Hood People Problems.” So, the only reason you are not with your ex is because he is locked up? SMDH! Despite the relationship being toxic, and he is locked up for a crime. The only thing keeping you away from him is his prison bid? Not the fact that he committed a crime? Not the fact that he is not any good for you, or your daughter? Not the fact that even after he get out of prison his options in having a career will be very limited, and he probably won’t be able to take care of you or your daughter and build a home? All of those reasons do not matter to you, huh? Girl, please go away! Oh, and let’s not forget that as soon as he got locked up you are already laying up with another man. Chile, I can see you now: Phone rings : Caller, you have a call from an inmate from the correctional facility, will you accept the charges? You : Yes! Your boo : Babe, I’m locked up. How much money you got? I need you to bond me out. You : My check didn’t come yet. I got to wait until next month before I can get anything. Your boo : Can you get in touch with my momma and see how much she got, or if she can put up the house? You : Okay. I will call her. Your boo : I love you gurl! You : I love you, too Your boo : You got to hold me down until I get out. You : How long they talking about giving you? Your boo : Probably a few years, but I know I can beat this case. You : I got you babe. (Scrolls through your phone looking for your ex’s number). Why are you wasting your time with your boyfriend/fiancé? You don’t want to be with him. He is an opportunity for you. He is nothing to you but a man to give you a few dollars here and there, a home, and a warm bed. He is not a man that you are not in love with, but a man for convenience. A man to take care of you and your daughter. A man you knew would take you in, and give you some security and stability. You are a user, and you went back to an ex because you are an opportunist. Still playing games in the streets, unless you’re a hooker then it will explain everything. Regardless, stop using the only thing that you think you’re good for: Your body. You and your current boyfriend/fiancé have been off and on for six years, then, you decided to take a break. During that break you had a daughter with another man. But, continued to sleep around with other men, until you found “love.” This love was toxic, and now he is locked up, so you went back to your off again on again ex because you wanted some “stability.” All this sleeping around, giving yourself to random men, looking for love, all in the hopes of finding a new opportunity for someone to take care of you. Well, how about you grow up, take responsibility for your daughter and yourself, and stop looking for a man to take care of you or give you stability. Give your daughter, and your own damn self some stability! You keep selling yourself, and reducing yourself to only your body. You are a grown, 32-year old woman, running around and laying up with men because you don’t feel as if you have anything to offer other than your body. You are a lost little girl who is desperate, and fractured. Your spirit is dark, and you are a walking zombie letting men use, and take advantage of you. And, you willingly give yourself because you’ve been taught that in order to come up, to get and what you want that you have to sleep with a man, sell yourself, and be willing to give him what he wants in order to get what you want. And, this is the very lesson you are teaching your daughter. She will grow up to do the very thing you are doing. The cycle will repeat itself because she sees her mother sleeping with different men, taking advantage of situations, and using men to get her way through life. At what point will you stop selling yourself, and giving yourself to men because you need stability and security? At what point will you realize that you are responsible for yourself? I know that no one taught you this. No one taught you the value of an education, working for what you want, and taking care of yourself. That you can own your own home, car, and put money in the bank. You don’t have to use your body to get what you want, or rely upon a man to take care of you. You probably learned that laying up with a man will get you access to his wallet, and his bed. Even so much so, that you are currently laying up in a man’s bed, took his ring, and despite not being in love with him or being attracted to him, you are willing to put yourself in this situation just for the sake of having stability. I can’t change hood behavior and hood thinking. You’ve got to want to do that on your own. I can’t undo hood acts based on hood choices. If you want freedom, a new lease on life and to start again, then, give that man his ring back. Let him know that the on again and off again is permanently off. It’s a reason he’s an ex. Move on with your life, and change your number. Let go of the ex in prison, and stop taking his calls. There is nothing he can do for you, or offer you. Then, you work on you, reclaiming your spirit, your soul, and your life. And, you work on finding a job and your own home to take care of you and your daughter. Leave men alone for a while. You need to clean your spiritual house, and realize that your body is not your selling tool, or a nut rag for men. Protect your body, and respect your body. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think? Share your opinions and thoughts below!

How could they hack their mom to death? Brothers Hacked Mom To Death Then Ate Her Organs It’s bad enough they hacked her to death, but they ate her organs too. So disturbing. According to NY Daily News: Three Filipino brothers hacked their own mom to death and then ate her organs in a horrifying ritual killing, believing she’d become possessed by bad spirits, police said. Dante Amil, 35, and his younger siblings Paroy, 21, and Ibrahim, 18, allegedly tortured and butchered Musala Amil, 56, at their home in Ampatuan over several days, Philnews.com reports. They are accused of feasting over her body “like wild animals” as they drained her body of its blood and devoured parts of her corpse raw. Neighbors reportedly heard screams, cries and laughter coming from the property for several days, reports Philnews.com. But they told cops they were “too scared” to do anything about the horrific sounds. Police were eventually called Friday. They found the mom’s badly mutilated body, with several organs missing. The brothers, who deny they were trying to cannibalize their mother, say they were trying to cure her of an illness brought on by a bad spirit. Officers are now investigating whether the family has a history of mental illness. Ampatuan Senior Inspector Ronald De Leon said all three suspects, who were arrested and are currently in custody, will be tested for drugs. They were trying to cure her of an illness, but they were the sick ones. Shutterstock
People truly ain’t isht . According to NY Daily News reports : Kelly Rhodes, 49, faces up to 15 years in prison after she left the body of Mary Gertrude Grenia, 89, wrapped in blankets outside of a Port Huron Township Goodwill store, the Times Herald reported. Prosecutors don’t believe Rhodes killed the woman, but said she may have neglected to care for her elderly mother, leading to her death. “I love her and miss her more than I ever could imagine,” Rhodes, originally from Salem, Ore., told the court during sentencing on Friday. The cold-hearted daughter displayed a “callousness that is frankly hard to fathom,” prosecutor Mona Armstrong said, when Rhodes dumped the body beside a Dumpster on March 12. The shocking crime was captured on surveillance video. “I understand I need to be punished for my poor decisions that were not sensible or logical at all,” Rhodes told the newspaper before her sentencing. The uncaring daughter reportedly took her sick and elderly mother out of a nursing home three years ago, but had fallen on hard times financially. The court didn’t accept the excuse and found her guilty of manslaughter, fourth-degree vulnerable adult abuse and removing a dead body without permission of a medical examiner. Grenia had heart and lung disease, and an autopsy showed no signs of trauma. Prosecutors believe Grenia died in her daughter’s truck before her corpse was dumped and left behind. “The bottom line is, (Grenia) was not provided that simple dignity she was entitled to at her age and after raising this particular defendant,” Armstrong said, the newspaper reported. SMH. What was she thinking? St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office
Officials from the L.A. County Coroner’s office may exhume the body of actress Brittany Murphy in light of recent reports about her death, but have not. Yet. Brittany Murphy to Be Exhumed? Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter says he has not been “presented with … the toxicology reports Brittany Murphy’s father (Angelo Bertolotti) had done.” “If there was an indication her death wasn’t from natural causes, we would probably exhume the body,” says Winter, adding that it’s not his call alone. “Her father could also have the body exhumed privately, without a court order.” Winter said if the coroner was to exhume the star’s body under the belief that Brittany Murphy was poisoned , his office would in fact need a court order. Fingernails and more hair samples could be available if the body is exhumed. In 2010, the Coroner concluded Murphy’s death was an accident caused by a combination of pneumonia, an iron deficiency and “multiple drug intoxication.” A report commissioned by Murphy’s father possibly revealed otherwise. Brittany Murphy Cause of Death: Poison? The presence of heavy metals in Brittany it says, were “2-9 times higher than the levels identified by the World Health Organization as being considered ‘high.'” Her husband, Simon Monjack , died months later, also under suspicious circumstances. Heavy metals are commonly found in rat poison and insecticides. Addiction specialist Dr. Damon Raskin tells Fox News that he examined the findings and found the “results seem very suspicious for foul play.” “Other than lab error, there is no other good medical explanation for these abnormal levels … therefore, some type of poisoning is clearly a possibility.” L.A. physician Dr. Shilpi Agarwal said it was unlikely that Murphy had this in her system without being given supplements or unintentionally ingesting them. However, forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden said the results were “interesting, but not evidence of foul play .” He offered an alternate theory. “The grouping of heavy metals is more suggestive of hair product use – dyes, soaps, heat, etc. – than of rat poison,” Baden said, so it’s still unclear.
Dear Bossip , I’ve read so many reader letters that I decided to ask a question of my own. While in college, I dated a guy that I met through a mutual friend. I initially wasn’t interested, but he pursued me and eventually won me over. It wasn’t until we became sexually active that I realized he had disgusting personal hygiene. After going down on me, I noticed that I had a strange odor “down there” and went to go see my OB/GYN. She said I had Bacterial Vaginosis, which is an infection and sometimes could be considered a STD. I was treated, but every time my boyfriend went down on me, it happened again. I ended up with at least 3 other BV infections. My OB/GYN told me that I had to tell my boyfriend about his dental hygiene and how it was affecting me, but I couldn’t find the words. So, I tried an experiment. I hid his toothbrush to see if he would notice. After at least 2 days, he never mentioned it and never replaced it. I was disgusted. We eventually ended up breaking up for other reasons. Fast forward to today, we have been back in contact and currently are in a long distance relationship. He came to visit me and his dental hygiene is improved, but still nowhere near what it needs to be. On top of that, he wears clothes with stains on them, coughs with his mouth wide open and doesn’t wash his hands! He explains it as, “I’m a real man.” His family says that he’s been doing questionable things with his hygiene for years. How in the world do I address this topic? – Germaphobe Dear Ms. Germaphobe , Ma’am! Why are you in a relationship with a “man” who refuses to take care of his personal hygiene? You will open and spread your legs to a man who is giving you diseases, and infecting your body with his bad breath and unsanitary ways, but won’t say anything to him about it? Does that make any logical sense? I’m thinking there’s something suspect and questionable about you! There is no way in hell I would lay down with someone for a second and third time and they are causing damage and harm to my body. Hell to the naw! And, no, he is not a “real man,” with his old nasty a**! A real man will wash his a**, brush his teeth, floss, use deodorant, have some decorum, and table manners. A real man doesn’t walk around with stains on his clothes, coughing with his mouth wide open, and not washing his hands. That is just nasty and trifling. How can you sleep with this man? If he is doing all of this, then, I am certain he is not properly washing his behind. And, I can only imagine that he doesn’t wear clean underwear, socks, and, nor does he wash his neck, ears, and underarms. How can he walk around for two days without brushing his teeth? Who does that? No wonder he has halitosis, and is infecting your vaginal area. And, what I don’t understand is that you ended up with three BV infections due to your boyfriend’s bad breath, and personal hygiene regimen, and you didn’t say anything to him about it? HUH!!!!????!!!! This man is infecting your body, causing damage to your vaginal area, and the only thing you do is try an experiment by hiding his toothbrush? What the hell? But, hold up! You break up and are now back in a relationship with him, and you still haven’t addressed his hygiene? I swear d**k is a dangerous drug. Women will put their bodies, and lives at risk for some piece of a man. You will jeopardize your health, well-being, and doing more damage to your vaginal area all because you want a man. SMDH! You have to be honest and tell this man the truth. Stop putting yourself at risk. It’s not worth it. What happens when you keep getting BV infections, and it does some serious damage to your vaginal area, and it prevents you from having children? Then what? What happens when it becomes incurable? Either you respect yourself, your body, and your well-being, or you continue to put yourself at risk. Is he worth it? Hell naw! It’s obvious he is not going to change. He feels being nasty, trifling, dirty, and not washing as signs of being a real man. He has a warped idea and sensibility of what a real man is. Therefore, I can only imagine how he treats you, and what he thinks of women. So, today, when you call or have a SKYPE session with him, I want you to be as gentle as you can be, and you explain to him what his personal hygiene has done to you. Share with him what your doctor has told you about his hygiene, and in order to move forward there will need to be some drastic changes in his personal hygiene. Share articles with him from Men’s Health, or other men’s magazines that have articles on how men can take care of themselves healthily and still be a “man.” Let him know it’s okay to be clean, and to practice a daily hygienic routine that not only helps him, but also will help your relationship. Share with him how it makes you feel to have a man who looks sharp, clean, and put together. A man with fresh breath, and a clean after shower smell. I’m sure he wouldn’t want a woman who didn’t take care of herself, or wasn’t about keeping herself clean. If he doesn’t make the changes, and he is combative, or argumentative about his cleanliness, and hygiene, then perhaps you will need to reconsider your relationship. If he is not willing to take care of himself, and take care of his own personal hygiene, then, he doesn’t think much of you. A man who won’t take care of himself will not be able to take care of you. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think? Share your opinions and thoughts below!
