The Biggest Loser Stars: Did They Keep the Weight Off?

NBC has aired 15 seasons full of success stories on The Biggest Loser since 2004, but once the cameras stopped rolling, where those stories still successful? A new installment of “Oprah: Where Are They Now?” follows up with some of the reality stars to see how their lives have changed since the experience … The Biggest Loser Stars: Where Are They Now? One star who definitely kept it off? Julie Hadden. And not with the help of Jillian Michaels cheating . Just kidding. Sorry. Low blow. Anyway, back to Julie. On The Biggest Loser Season 4, she came in second place by dropping 97 pounds. In the years since then, Julie went on to battle infertility issues. She finally got pregnant at age 40, and is now happy stay-at-home mother of three, as well as an author and public speaker who inspires others. In Season 2, Matt Hoover took home The Biggest Loser title after dropping 157 pounds. He fell in love with co-star Suzy Preston, who lost 95 pounds. The couple married less than a year later, and they remain married today. Oprah first caught up with Suzy after she gave birth to their second child. “I hadn’t eaten anything good in two years,” she said. “Once the doctor said, ‘You really shouldn’t be on such a restrictive diet,’ I said, ‘Okay. No problem.'” Today, Matt and Suzy say they no longer live by a number on a scale. They’ve regained some of the weight, but keep active with their two boys. Season 5’s Mark Kruger, a father of two who originally weighed 285, says he’s been able to maintain the nearly 100 pounds he lost on the show. He tells Oprah he’s doing better than ever these days by avoiding the pitfalls of processed foods and by working out six days out of every week. How are the rest of the cast members from The Biggest Loser doing? We’ll find out when Oprah: Where Are They Now? airs Sunday at 10 p.m.

Virginia Woman Killed by Car on First Walk Since Overcoming Cancer

This is a terribly tragic story. On Sunday, Virginia resident Sally Ann Okuly left her house for the first time in six months, the mother of two finally feeling strong enough to do so after being hit by a motorcycle and being diagnosed with cancer over the past year. But soon after getting the newspaper and a cup of coffee, Okuly was struck and killed by a car. Cancer Survivor Killed by Car “One of her favorite things to do was to walk over across that street to the Wawa gas station,” said her husband, Bill Okuly, who would have celebrated his 41st wedding anniversary with Sally Ann the day after she died. Amanda Styles-Mays was behind the wheel at the time of the accident and has been charged with failure to yield to a pedestrian and reckless driving. Bill describes his wife as “the most giving person ever” and tries to find solace in a spirit he believes will always remain with him. “Oh yeah, she’ll always be there,” he says.

The Comments section was linked to Tom’s Facebook account – and his wife had the last laugh when she read the message. “My idiot husband forgot his comments are linked to his Facebook account,” Tom’s wife wrote on the website. “You don’t deserve our beautiful kids and I hope your brother has room on his sofa because I’m having the locks changed.” Ouch! Tough break, T. THG NOTE: Check out our section of Kate Upton photos , fellas. But do it on the down low.

Chris Kirkpatrick Marries Karly Skladany; All NSYNC Members Serve as Groomsmen!

Chris Kirkpatrick is a married man. The NSYNC alum, 42, tied the knot with Karly Skladany Saturday, and all of his fellow former band mates were groomsmen! Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone and Lance Bass were on hand to celebrate Kirkpatrick and Skladany, who have been together three years. Kirkpatrick, who reunited with NSYNC at the MTV Video Music Awards on August 25 in JT’s honor, looked forward to another reunion on his big day. “They’re all coming to my wedding, so we’ll get to see each other again,” he told Rolling Stone in August. “Everything goes back. It’s like old times.” Chris is more than content being least famous of the fab five, and has always shunned extravagant displays of wealth, a fact that remains true to this day. Lance told a great story leading up to the wedding this week. “Can you believe Chris Kirkpatrick is getting married?” Bass said on his Sirius XM radio show Tuesday. “He just never seemed like the marrying type.” Kirkpatrick never liking the “finer things” in life, Bass said, and “What’s really hilarious to me is that we went to get fitted for our tuxes at Men’s Warehouse.” “He got us the cheapest tuxes there he could possibly get, which I think is so Chris and very lovely,” Bass joked of his good friend. “I mean that’s just who he is.” Bass added of another former NSYNCer, “I just think its hilarious to know that Justin Timberlake is going to be in a Men’s Warehouse tux ushering the wedding.” Indeed. Congrats, Chris and Karly!

Bruce Jenner to Walk Kim Kardashian Down the Aisle

He may have been absent from the engagement celebration, but Bruce Jenner will play a key role in the upcoming Kim Kardashian-Kanye West wedding. By walking the bride down the aisle! As previously noted, the estranged husband of Kris Jenner was not invited to Kanye and Kim’s night on Monday, allegedly because he barely knows the rapper and West simply never asked Bruce to attend. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West on the Red Carpet But insiders confirm to TMZ that Kardashian still views Bruce as her father and – as he did when she exchanged vows with Kris Humphries – plans to have Jenner walk her down the aisle on the third Big Day. Sources say Kim and Kanye are planning a “huge” wedding and that the affair will happen relatively soon. It’s unclear when, however, as West is on tour for about two more months. The couple also has a prenup to sign and we presume E! has a lot to work out in order to capture it all on film. Of course, that’s the big question: Will history really repeat itself for Kim Kardashian? Should she and Kanye get married on TV?   Absolutely, I’d watch! No, look how well that worked last time! They should make a sex tape! View Poll »

Paula Deen Cries "Tears of Joy" in First Public Appearance Since Scandal

Paula Deen returned to the public spotlight for the first time since this summer’s n-word scandal, and cried tears of joy after receiving a huge ovation. The celebrity chef, 66, broke down in tears amid 10 minutes of thunderous applause at the Metro Cooking & Entertaining show in Houston Saturday. “These are tears of joy, y’all,” she said. “This is my first time out in three months. The one place I wanted to make my first step out was in Texas.” “You are forgiving folks with hearts as big as your state. We all experience pain in some way but pain is also a good thing because it makes you grow.” After her emotional outburst , Paula Deen quickly got back in touch with her sassy, culinary side joining sons Bobby and Jamie for a cooking demo. It looks like she’s clearly back in the swing of things. Deen walked up to a cameraman at the end of her exhibition, put her face right up close to his camera and said with a giant smile, “I’m back!” After the summer she had, that must feel good. The controversy began when she and brother Bubba Hiers were sued for racial discrimination and sexual harassment by former restaurant manager Lisa Jackson. When a transcript of a legal deposition, in which Deen admitted she had used the N-word in the past, was leaked in June, it swiftly ignited a firestorm. Paula denied all of Jackson’s claims and only admitted using racial slurs in past, unrelated circumstances, but her empire began to unravel fast. The Food Network fired Paula and she lost many lucrative endorsement deals shortly thereafter, including Smithfield Hams, Target and Walmart. Ballantine Books also canceled a five-book deal and stopped publication of her cookbook, despite the fact that the book had already hit No. 1 on Amazon. Last month, the lawsuit was dismissed , but the damage was done. A judge threw out the racial discrimination portion of the suit and soon after, Deen and Jackson reached a settlement to dismiss the remaining claims. Now that she’s back, do you forgive her? Did you ever jump off the Paula bandwagon? Should she go away and never come back? Discuss below!
