Kirstie Alley has lost a tremendous amount of weight . There’s no denying that fact. But it’s how the actress dropped nearly 100 pounds that is at the center of a new lawsuit against her. A California resident has filed suit against Alley because she doesn’t believe the star actually shed pounds using Organic Liaison, a product Alley shills for online and on QVC. Instead, the plaintiff thinks Alley simply followed a low-calorie diet and practiced a lot for Dancing with the Stars . Organic Liaison? It’s nothing but fiber and calcium, the legal documents allege. Alley is being sued for unspecified damages in a case similar to that of Kim Kardashian and QuikTrim , as that reality star has also come under legal fire for assertions that she lost weight due to that supplement. Note to the overweight: if you want to slim down, simply change your diet and exercise. That’s it. It’s rather simple. [Photo: WENN.com]

Wayans brothers were among mourners; a private funeral service for the late rapper will be held Friday. By Nadeska Alexis, with reporting by Rob Markman Heavy D in 1991 Photo: Ron Galella / Getty Images A private funeral for late rapper Heavy D (born Dwight Errington Meyers) will take place Friday, but on Thursday (November 17), his family held an open memorial service from noon to 6p.m. at the Grace Baptist Church in Mount Vernon, New York. Fans were given a chance to say goodbye to the Overweight Lover, as he was affectionately known. The weather in New York had dipped into the 40s, but that didn’t prevent fans and friends — including the Wayans brothers — from showing up to pay their final respects. Outside the Grace Baptist Church, police officials set up barricades that stretched as far as three city blocks. A steady stream of visitors, heavy with high school students, made their way inside for a last glimpse of the local hero. Once inside, ushers guided fans to the front of the church, where Heavy D lay in an open casket, dressed in a gray suit, with his arms folded. Just above his casket, a video monitor played footage of the Jamaican-born performer from his early days. After fans paid their respects, Heavy’s family did their best to thank each and every visitor as they exited the church. On Friday, guests at Heavy D’s invite-only funeral services will include Mary J. Blige, Diddy (who both worked with Heavy at Uptown Records) and DJ Eddie F and G-Wiz, his group members in the popular ’90s outfit Heavy D & the Boyz. Heavy D was rushed to the hospital last week after collapsing in his Beverly Hills home. He was pronounced dead shortly afterward, at the age of 44. The Los Angeles coroner’s office has not yet announced an official cause of death.

Relatives of Heavy D say he visited a doctor the day before he passed away. Rap legend Heavy D knew something was seriously wrong with his health the day before he suddenly collapsed and died Tuesday, officials told the Daily News. “He had gone to the doctor the day before,” Ed Winter, Assistant Chief of the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office, told the Daily News. “He had what appeared to be like flu-like symptoms.” Investigators completed an autopsy Wednesday morning, but declined to release a preliminary cause of death, saying that toxicology tests must first be performed. The tests could take up to six weeks to complete. “He was taking medication, so we want to see what the levels were,” Winter said. The trailblazing, Westchester County-bred star weighed 344 pounds at the time of his death, Winter said. “He said he had a touch of pneumonia, maybe from traveling. He just got back from England,” cousin Ruddy Phillips, 50, told The News after speaking with the entertainer’s dad in Mount Vernon, N.Y. Heavy D, whose real name was Dwight Arrington Myers, was taken by ambulance to Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles about 11:30 a.m. Tuesday; he died 90 minutes later, police said. He was conscious and talking, but having difficulty breathing, when officers first arrived at his home after a 911 call was made, said Lt. Mark Rosen of the Beverly Hills Police Department. The 44-year-old rapper was returning home from a shopping trip when he experienced shortness of breath and collapsed in an exterior hallway of his condo building, Rosen said. “There doesn’t appear to be any foul play. We believe it was medically related,” Rosen said. Born in Jamaica and raised in Mount Vernon, Heavy D rose to stardom in the 1990s as the frontman for the group Heavy D & the Boyz. He leaves behind a 13-year-old daughter, with whom he was extremely close, Phillips said. “He was a really great dad. Everybody is wondering how she’s going to take it now that he’s gone. She loves her dad so much,” Phillips said. “And his mother is taking it really hard. He’s the third brother in the family to die. Everybody is stunned. No one can believe it. He was so young.” We still can’t believe he’s gone. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his loved ones. Source More On Bossip! Shhhh!

MTV News compiles the most memorable hits of his extensive catalog. By Rob Markman Heavy D Photo: Frederick M. Brown/ Getty Images There will never be another Heavy D . When the Mount Vernon, New York, MC debuted in 1987 as part of the group Heavy D & the Boyz , he made an immediate impact with his infectious dance hits. For the most part, Heav directed his material toward the ladies and even dubbed himself the Overweight Lover. With his music, Waterbed Heav oozed sex appeal, paving the way for other big-boned MCs like the Notorious B.I.G., Fat Joe and Rick Ross to garner a female fanbase. Heavy was also a noted dancer and paired each of his hits with well-choreographed steps. It’s difficult to imagine where the likes of Soulja Boy and Cali Swag District would be without Heavy D’s contributions. On November 8, Heavy D left us , but his music will live on forever. For the unfamiliar, MTV News has put together an essential playlist, while at the same time giving the MC’s longtime fans something to remember him by. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been rocking with Heavy D since his 1987 debut or with his more recent foray into reggae and dancehall: Let’s all collectively gather around the iPod and wish Dwight “Heavy D” Myers a Peace Journey ! “The Overweight Lover’s in the House” The big man sure knew how to make an entrance. Along with his group the Boyz, Heavy D made his presence known with “The Overweight Lover’s in the House” from the group’s debut album, Living Large. “See the weight that I am, is a big lover man/ Check out the rhyme, in due time you’ll be a Heav D fan,” he rapped — and boy was he right. “Mr. Big Stuff” Back when many still considered hip-hop to be mere noise, Heavy D made older skeptics take notice when he sampled Jean Knight’s 1971 hit Stax single “Mr. Big Stuff.” Keeping much of the song’s original melody, Heav rhymed over a bombastic drum track and put his big-man pride on full display. “Somebody for Me” In 1989, Heavy D & the Boyz scored their first platinum plaque with their sophomore album, Big Tyme. The album had a number of hits, like “We Got Our Own Thang” and “Gyrlz, They Love Me,” but none bigger than the New Jack Swing-inspired “Somebody for Me.” In the track’s video, Heav also cleaned up his act and ditched the track jacket and sneakers for a well-tailored suit and hard-bottom shoes. Good choice! “Now That We Found Love” Heavy had a gang of hits, but 1991’s “Now That We Found Love” is among his biggest. With ’90s R&B singer Aaron Hall on the hook and Teddy Riley on the beat, Heavy D & the Boyz kept clubs pumping with their popular dance hit. Through his music, Heav also kept things positive. Judging from this infectious groove, it was nearly impossible to tell that the rapper was mourning the death of group member Trouble T Roy, who had tragically passed a year before the song’s release. “Don’t Curse” (featuring Big Daddy Kane, Grand Puba, Kool G Rap, Q-Tip and CL Smooth) Because most of his catalog revolved around lovey-dovey dance hits, some hardcore rap purists refused to give Heavy his props, but when Mr. Big Stuff gathered noted MCs Big Daddy Kane, Grand Puba, Kool G Rap, Q-Tip and CL Smooth for 1991’s “Don’t Curse,” even the haters had to give it up. Soul for Real’s “Candy Rain” remix This R&B quartet didn’t have many hits, but their 1995 single “Candy Rain” was all the band needed to cement their place in popular music. And who did they call for the song’s remix? Heavy Diddly, Diddly, Diddly D, of course. “Nuttin’ But Love” Heavy D & the Boyz snatched up a third platinum plaque with their 1994 album, Nuttin’ But Love. The LP’s title track, produced by DJ Kid Capri, was a crowd favorite. On the song, Heav professed his affection for his doubting lover. Want a real 1990s flashback? Check the video for a cameo from Rebecca Gayheart, a.k.a. “the Noxzema girl.” Michael Jackson’s “Jam” It’s one thing to do records with rappers like Big Daddy Kane and Kool G Rap, but when the King of Pop comes calling, that’s a whole different level. When Michael Jackson needed a spitter to compliment his Teddy Riley-produced smash “Jam,” he tapped Heavy D. “Making funky jams with my man, Michael Jackson,” the Overweight Lover rapped over the bouncy track. His man Michael Jackson — just let that soak in for a second. Janet Jackson’s “Alright” remix There was no one more innovative than the King of Pop, but MJ wasn’t the first Jackson to feature Heav. Before 1992’s “Jam,” sister Janet snagged the rapper for her 1991 remix of “Alright” from her Rhythm Nation album. Not only did he get to lay vocals alongside Janet, in the song’s video, he co-starred with the legendary Cab Calloway. Grand Puba’s “Let’s Get It On” (featuring Heavy D, 2Pac and the Notorious B.I.G.) This 1994 underground track usually goes unnoticed, but it’s an important footnote in rap history. Before their famous feud and untimely deaths, the Notorious B.I.G. and 2Pac collaborated with Grand Puba and Heavy D on this Eddie F-produced track. It is the only known in-studio collaboration between the legendary rappers, and Heavy D was there for it all, trading bars with Big and ‘Pac. “No Matter What” There is no doubt, Heavy D was a hip-hop soul through and through, but the Jamaican star returned to his roots when he reinvented himself as a reggae artist on the 2008 album Vibes. The music may have changed, but Heav still crooned about love and overall good vibes. Share your memories of Heavy D on Facebook.

The US research suggests eating nuts may help lower cholesterol levels. In the review of 25 studies which involve almost 600 people showed that eating on an average of 67grams of nuts can reduce cholesterol levels by about 7.4%. According to the US Loma Linda University team, nuts may help prevent the absorption of cholesterol. UK experts said that nuts were an essential part of a healthy diet. However, they warned against eating nuts coated in sugar or salt. Nuts also reduced the amount of triglyceride, which is a type of blood fat that has been associated to heart diseases. In the study which was conducted, the people involved ate 67 grams of nuts per day on average for the period of three to eight weeks. But, the impact was least pronounced among the overweight. Joan Sabate, lead researcher, suggests increasing nut consumption as part of a healthy diet should be recommended. The study was conducted by independent researchers and it was partly funded by the International Tree Nut Council Nutrition Research and Education Foundation.

digitaljournal Weight Loss is almost synonymous to an unwinnable battle. It is a basic knowledge that in order to reduce, one must eat less and exercise more, but in this day and age where your life is juggling job stress and family crises, the temptation of eating convenient fast and fatty foods encourages you to do the opposite. A healthy diet and regular exercise are certainly the best weapons against weight gain, but the fact is that sometimes they aren’t enough. And that’s where science may someday be able to help. In research laboratories around the country, researchers are studying closely at the biological mechanisms of obesity, finding the solution why some bodies store fat so readily, and why others are better at burning the calories they consume. They are discovering a surprising array of metabolic and physiologic factors that contribute to weight. Your intestines are teeming with bacteria that can either promote or curb weight gain. The type of hyperactive fat that is called brown fat which is abundant in newborns — that actually burns a lot of calories, unlike the traditional white fat that adults commonly store in their midsection. These and other findings about the biology of weight gain could be the answer to slimming our collective waistline, if scientists can someday use them to create better treatments for obesity. And we could use the help: in the decade between 1991 and 2000, the prevalence of overweight adults in the U.S. increased by 61%, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Last year, 30% of children in 30 states tipped the scales as either overweight or obese. “With hundreds of millions of obese people that we’ve got in our country now, physicians can’t treat them all,” says Dr. Michael Jensen, professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. “We just don’t have enough physicians.” If the latest findings from obesity labs — in both humans and animals — prove as practical as they are promising, they could someday make the job of fighting obesity easier for physicians and patients, and help all of us get an extra boost from our diet and exercise programs.

Brit Gastineau is my overweight friend on twitter and I use the word friend as loose as the lips of her vagina, or the stretched out elastic waistband of her panties, because she only messaged me once to tell me off for making fun of how fat she was in Hollywood standards. Seriously, I’d cast her to play my wife in my biopic that will never be filmed, but that’s only because I feel she’ll really channel the retarded talentless hack my wife actually is because she too is a talentless retarded hack and I guess none of that really matters because I think Kim Kardashian is the only person keeping her relevant and I am the only person who bothers posting pictures of her because I feel an emotional attachment to destroying her self esteem and leading her to either eat her way out of the pain, or starve herself into anorexia, and the whole thing kinda excites me …. just not sexually…because getting sexually excited by Gastineau is the same as getting sexually excited by a dancing gay man, it’s not very hetero….unless of course you are an opportunist and realize that she’s got a nice little trust fund you can prey on if you weren’t as socially awkward, weird, and living in the midwest as you are…but I guess that only works for people who can’t jerk off to naked women or porn anymore, it’s been played out, and they can only really get off to concept.
